VIRGINIA SWALlOWWORI.
IFS Beautiful Blossoms Are Pitfalls

It's Beautiful Blossoms Are pitfalls
For Bees and Bugs.
Honey bees and insects and bugs Of
less degree find pitfalls and often death
in the beautiful blossoms Of the milk
weed, otherwise known as the Virginia
swallowwort. If these flowers are eH-
amincd any sunny day, one will be
pretty sure to find them decorated with
q miscellaneous assortment Of struG-
Cling or dead insects with their legs
fast in the Sits Of the peculiar bios
SONS. The pollen Of this common plant,
instead of being q powder, as in the
case Of most plants, consists OF sucky'
waXen masses hidden within the BIOS
som. When a visiting insect thrusts
a proboscs or leg into the opening OF
such a flower, some Of these masses
stick to it, and the natural course IS for
the insect to fay off to another flower
and fertilize this with the adhering pol
len. All insects, however, are not strong
enough to extricate their legs from the
sticky places, and then ensues the slow
torture of hanging there until death or
O helping hand releases them from mis-
cry. Besides being beautiful, it could
be quite q useful plant if We cared to
develop it's virtues. Thus its milky
Juice contains caoutchouc. Brown sug-
ar has been made from the flowers.
The silky hairs Of the seeds are serv-
iceable in the manufacture Of textile
fabrics, as cotton is, and a fiber OF
good quality for ropemaking may be
extracted from the stalk.

Mach Lead Is Wasted on the Artful
Dodge- at Migration Time.
The snipe, properly Wilson'S snipe,
Gallinago delicata, but commonly
known as English sniDe and wrong
fully called half dozen other names,
is a widely distributed species. 1t vis-
it's every state at some season. Its
northward migration extends within
the arctic circle. while it is known to go
southwark to northern South America
and the West Indies. Comparatively
few of the birds which move north
ward from February until May breed
south of the information 2 line. 1t is
quite true there are breeding grounds
at various points Of the northern states,
but the great breeding range extends
from latitude 42 degrees north to some
undetermined point much nearer the
pole than most sportsmen will venture.
Some time in September the, first
southbound birds pass below the Cana
dian grounds, and soon most of the
suitable marshy bits Of east and west
have their share Of long billed prizes.
Then begins an astonishing attack
which extends from ocean to ocean and
generally sweeps southwark from Can
ada to California. Probably tons CT
lead, half Of which is wasted, are fired
at the artful dodger.-Edwyn Sandys

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
it quickly becomes foul.
The best use to make Of old bones
is to break them up and bury them
near the roots of fruit trees and grape,
vines.
by sowing nitrate Of soda in small
quantities in showery weather under
trees most beautiful verdure will be
obtained.
It is not a good plan to fill an old
orchard with young trees. The soil
is too much exhausted by the growth
Of the former occupants.
Geraniums bloom most satisfactorily
when grown in comparatively SMALL
pots and soil which is termed rich, but
not rank with excessive manure.
Stir, spade, rake and pulverize soil
thoroughly before planting or sowing.
The Importance Of this work cannot be
overestimated if you desire fine bios
SONS.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Plants
for winter blooming should be grown
especially for this purpose.

That Awful Boy Jones.

Fifty or more years ago "that awful
boy Jones" was the torment Of Queen
Victoria's life, and his short career in
public contains mystery which would
try the mettle Of Sherlock Holmes.
He was BARRIERS apprentice who in
some unexplained way discovered a
passage into Buckingham palace, with
which he alone was acquainted. When
he was first found trespassing, he was
gently admonished and sent home.
Soon after he was encountered again
in the palace. He would not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home, and again he reappeared-
Once he calmly admitted that he had
been lodging in the palace for fort
night. He had laid snug during the
day, sleeping in the royal apartments,
and at night had wandered from room
to room, helping himself to the food
left over from royal repasts. He had
seen the queen repeatedly and indeed
had never been far from her.
The matter was considered so serious
that the boy was summoned before a
special meeting Of the priyy council.
FIe refused to give any account Of his
secret. Soon after he disappeared, and
it is supposed that he was removed un-
der state protection.

Chinese Etiquette.

The polite Chinaman will always re-
fer to himself in deprecatory terms.
This trait Of Chinese etiquette is aptly
expressed in one Of their own tales, in
which visitor is represented as call
ing in his best clothes and seated in
the reception room awaiting the ar
rival Of his host. 4 rat that had been
prying in a jar Of oil on rafter above,
frightened at the intrusion Of the call
er, ran away and in so doing upset the
oil Jar, which fell on the visitor, satu-
rating his elegant robes with oil. Just
as the face Of the guest was. purple
with rage the host entered, when the
proper salutations were performed,
after which the guest proceeded to eX-
plain the situation, GAS l entered your
honorable apartment and seated my
self under your honorable beam I in
advertently terrified your honorable
rat, which fed and upset your honora-
BILE oil jar upon my Insignificant per-
son, which is the reason of my con-
temptiblc appearance in your honora-
BILE presence"

Cnjustly Punished.

A friend Of mine returning to camp
after a days shooting, says a writer
in Navy and Army, suddenly came in
sight Of a big she bear with two cubs
following in single file proceeding
along a ridge, the forms of the three
being sharply silhouetted against the
sky. 1t was very long shot, but he
determined to try it, so drew bead
on the old she bear and fred. The re-
suit was curious. The procession
stopped, the she bear scratched her
self hastily, then turned around and,
regarding the cub Immediately behind
with grave disapproval, boxed its
ears soundly and then went trundling
on along the ridge, evidently under
the impression that her frolicsome Off
spring had been up to some unusually
Objectionable tricks.

Eau de Cologne.

How many of those who use eau de
cologne from Cologne daily, one might
almost say hourly, are aware Of the
fact that it was invented by an Italian
and not by q son Of the Fatherland,
which gives it's name?
Almost 200 years ago an Italian
priest, Gioyan Maria Farina, eked out
his modest fortune by selling perfun1-
cry, little art objects and so on at Do
modossola. In 1902, happening to be
in Cologne and making use Of some of
the finest vegetable productions Of the
country, he discovered the secret Of
the miraculo perfume, which has
never been revealed to this day except
to his descendants. He soon devoted
himself to the sale Of his invention,
which was so satisfactory that, need
ing help in it's manufacture, he had his
brother and nephew join lin from
Italy.
The increasing fame Of the water
brought increasing difficulties Of rival
ry. New firms who stole bis name, his
trademarks, stamps and so on sprang
up like mushrooms, but they could not
steal his secret.

THE FASTING FAD.
There Is No Advantage TO Be Gained
From GciDg Hungry.

There Is No Advantage to BE Gained
From GciDg Hungry.
We are living in an age Of fads, re-
marks Good Health, and as its opinion
has been solicited in regard to the
fasting fad' it proceeds to give it as
follows:
There is no particular advantage to
be gained from going hungry. Hunger
is the voice of nature telling us that
the system needs food and, like all Of
natures warnings, should be needed.
TO be sure, 4 great many, We might
say the majority, of people eat too
much as well as too often. But the
entire abstinence from food is an eX-
ceptional remedy if it is used at all.
In cases where ones stomach is filled
with germs it is far better to fast than
to go on eating in the usual way, but
even then it is not necessary, for one
can get all the benefits OF fasting and
more without discomfort by subsisting
for q time upon a fruit diet. In this
way the germs are starved out, the
fruit juice acting rs dlsinfectant.
Usually one or two days Of this kind
of fasting is all that is needed, and
it is not always necessary to use the
fruit entirely alone even then. Some
dry sterilized bread, such as Zwieback
or graEosc, may be taken with it with
out interfering with the purpose Of the
fast. 1t is really wonderful what. can
be accomplished by the use Of fruit in
Kidding the digestive tract of germs.
