pared food on the market without any
success until six months ago my wife
purchased a box of Grape-Nuts, think
ing it would be a desirable cereal for
the summer months.

Edward L. Henry, the Academician

and also exceedingly absent minded.

The Power Of the Mystic Sea Affects

Throughout all ages, in every cline
old ocean have ever appealed with
irresistible power Its vast area, its
solemn grandeur In repose, its sub
lime spectacle when dashed to fury

lie the feshless human victims Of Its
mighty wrath, and whence issue
strange forms and fearsome noises
all are potent in their awe-inspiring
effect on the beholder. Under It's
magic spell ordinary mortals stand in
respectful silence, for lack Of power
to express their thoughts, which may
be none the less profound because OF
the inability to give them verbal ut
terance; but poets with their need
of skill have ever tried with we'll
termed phrase to tell us of old Nep-
tunes moods-his smiles and frowns
and vagaries. Even among the COM

noticeable in it's effect upon their SUI

Employed at Gardening, They Have
Adopted Sensible Garments.
At Kew Gardens, in London, small,
intelligent, capable and scientific
squad of practical women gardeners is
employed. They labor in the potting
sheds, WELD the pruning shears, study
fertilizers and wear trousers.
In summer their neither bifurcated
garments are of dark blue linen or
brown, as each wearer prefers. They
have adopted long breeches strapped
close to the leg below the knees and
about the ankles to permit unimpeded
stepping in and out among closest
plants. A blue shocked frock loosely
gathered in by broad belt at the
waist forms the remainder Of their
very sensible uniform. The public
when visiting the famous gardens east
