beginning a Garden.

So many things need doing this
month that the one who is going to
have fine garden must hustle Seeds
will be sown in the open ground, seed
ings transplanted, old pot plants bed
ded out, and many other things done.
The very first requisite for success
is well prepared soil, and that means
one deeply worked, finely pulveTized
and well enriched Do not expect sue
cess If the soil is worked but two or
three inches in depth and the roots
compelled to force their way through
hard-pan below that. The plant must
be able to send its roots down into
the soil easily and quickly if luxuriant
foliage and perfect blossoms are to be
secured.
Sometimes, after all possible care
has been taken in preparing the soil
and sowing the seed, a heavy rain will
cause a crust to form over the surface,
through which the tiny plants cannot
break. To avoid this it is wise to scat
ter a light mulch over the seed bed
fine grass clippings, leaves, or anything
which will offer no resistance to the
plants A heavy rain may wash trans
planted seedlings loose from the soil,
If not entirely out of it, and this, too,
must be watched for and the damage
at once repaired. National Magazine.

likes the idea of strangers occupying it.
Many rich folk have previously tried
to lease the place. for it is regarded as
the most desirable private residence in

to entertain their offers. At the request.
Of the king, he allowed Duke d'Aosta to
put up at the house for brief period,

on two or three occasions for semipri-

ON HEAD OF A PIN.
sIxTY-oNE LETTERS PLACED IN
THIS TINY SPACE. "
Remarkable Feat Performed by a
Government Engraving Expert
Mot Visible to tho
Naked Eye.

Washington.-It has remained for
one of Uncle Sans experts in the bu-
reau Of engraving and printing to per-
form what is probably one OF the
most remarkable and difficult feats
of engraving ever accomplished.
Not so very long ago it was be-
lieved that the man who first engraved
the Lords Prayer on the back of a
one-dollar gold piece had about
reached the limit in the matter of
wonderful feats with the engraver's
tools. Then about a. year ago Phil
adelphia bank-note expert engraved
the entire alphabet of rs letters on
the head of a large pin. This delicate
bit of work won considerable fame for
the man who did it, and it was gen.
orally considered to be the record in
freak engraving until the bureau ex-
pert entered the field. Now, however,
the record of the Philadelphia engrav-
er has been greatly surpassed.
Clarence K. Young, for years an en-
ploye of the government money fac
tory, is the man who accomplished
the seemingly impossible feat of en-
craving two full alphabets, date and
name on the head of tiny pin only
sixty-fve one-thousandths of an inch
in diameter.
Last fall Mr.. Young and another ex-
pert In the bureau had friendly dis
pute as to just the amount of delicate
work that an engraver could do.
Finally Mr.. Young made the statement
that if the Philadelphia expert had
engraved the alphabet on the head Of
8 large pin he could put the e. letters
on the head of small pin and still
have some room left. A wager was
made and Mr.. Young started in to
make good his assertion. In about
week, working now and then for about
Is minutes at time, he had accom-
plished the task and, true to his state
ment, found room enough left on the
