will be sown in the open ground, seed

The very first requisite for success
is a we'll prepared soil, and that means
one deeply worked, finely pulverized
and well enriched. Do not expect sue

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

Arrest Cost Them 5000.

Charles II. GOodenOugh was awarded
a verdict of 5000 damages against
Chief CT Police Conway and Police Of
ficer Painter, both of Moorestown. in
County Court at Mount Holly, for false
arrest early on the morning of October
Z last on complaint of Car Conductor
Fred C%laypoole, who said Goodenough
was drunk and disOrderly on his car.
The conductor failed to appear at the
hearing the next morning and Good
enough was discharged. But his feel
ings had been injured and he entered
suit for damages for false arrest. At
the trial ClaypOOle denied that he ac-
cused Goodenough Of being drunk and
that he asked to have him arrested,
but it is said it has become known
since the trial that CIaypoole told Of
icer Severns, of Mounty Holly. on the
morning of the arrest, that he had a
man "%pinched' for being drunk. but he
wasn't going to lose his sleep to appear
against him, at the hearing, and the
officer who made the arrest could hus-
tie for himself. Chief Conway testi-
fed that Officer Painter had nothing
to do with the case, and did not even
lay his hands on Goodenough: but on
the testimony of the complainant that
both officers arrested him, they were
held to be equally guilty, although the
witnesses for the defendant testified
that Painter had nothing to do with
the man.

"Pelorous jack is the name of an old
dolphin which is protected by a special
act of the New Zealand Legislature.
The official proclamation of the Gov

According to an old sailors tale, a
shoal of dOlphins grounded on the
shores of Cook Strait forty years ago,
n II of them escaped into the sea.
That one, which is now acknowledged
to be Pelorous Jack, never left the To-
cality where he lost his companions,
and "he is now protected by law as he
has always been by sentiment"
The most remarkable fact of all is
the reason for the passage of the law,
which is that Pelorous Jack acts as a
most effective pilot, escorting all kinds
of vessels in and out of the French
Pass, Cook Strait, always keeping to
deep water.
For years he was believed to be a

he is really a dolphin. AS he is never

the Atlantic to Mobile and New Or
leans. where on All Souls Day each
year the cemeteries were carpeted with
untold myriads of rare and costly flow
ers strewn by devoted hands over the
graves of the beloved dead.
During the contest between the
States the women and children of the
South delighted to bring flowers and
evergreens to decorate the graves OF
the martyrs to their cause. AS the
spring brought the anniversary of the
doomsday of the 'lost cause" the fair
women of Southland instituted another
and a special day in honor of their be-
loved soldiers, and the pathos of the
devotion was the deeper in that the
sacrifice of their lives had been made,
seemingly, all in vain.
"April &c was the day set apart by a
consent spontaneous in its universal
adoption. Alabama's and Georgia's
first public Decoration Day was in
1866. No more fitting time than the
anniversary of the loss of the cause so
dear to their souls could have been cho-
sen for the perpetuation of the memory
of their heroes.
"Women, and women alone, inaugu-
rated the custom. Men, more reserved
in the expression of the sentiments of
their hearts, might permit their de-
parted comrades quietly to become a
part of the general history, but women
would not have it so. The Southern
States fell quickly into line, and then

GREAT CHANGE
From Change in Food.

The brain depends much more on the
stomach than we aIe apt to suppose IN
til we take thought in the matter.
Feed the stomach On proper food easy
to digest and containing the proper
amount of phosphates and the healthy
brain will respond to all demands. A
notable housewife in Buffalo writes:
'The doctor diagnosed my trouble as
a nervous affection of the stomach 1
was actually so rvo that l could
not sit still for five minutes to read the
newspaper, and to attend to my house
hold duties was simply impossible. l
doctored all the time with remedies,
but medicine did no good.
"My physician put re on all sorts of
diet, and tried many kinds of cereal
foods, but none of them agreed with
me. I was almost discouraged, and
when I tried Grape-Nuts / did so with
many misgivings-I had no faith that it
would succeed where everything else
had failed.
"But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad I am that I tried it. 1
feel like a new person, 1 have gained in
weight and I don't have that terrible
burning sensation n my stomach any
more. l feel so strong again that / am
surprised at myself. The street noises
that used to ~irritate me so, 1 never
notice now, and my mind is so clear
that my household duties are a real
pleasure"

There's a reason.

in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not

medicine. There is but one sure way,
