UnderQround Gardep

A clever Dublinite has turned a de.
serted wine cellar in his native city
into an underground market garden
In this retreat. which once sheltered
barrels and casks of fiery liquors, now
grow seakale, rhubarb and mush-
rooms. As the produce is right in
the heart of the market district, the
city farmer has no railway charges to
pay, and in truth many of his Gus
toners, desirous of obtaining fresh
vegetables, visit his underground farm
and select what they desire by the
light of lantern.

When Koreans Go Calling.

Korean visiting cards sometimes
measure foot square. The savages
of Dahomey announce an intended
visit by sending in advance n wooden
board or the branch OF a tree artistic
ally carved. When the visit is paid
the card" is returned to the posses
sion of its owner. who will doubtless
use 1t for many years. With the ma
tives of Sumatra the visiting card is
composed of 4 piece of wood about a
foot long, decorated with bunch Of
straw and knife.

An automobilist travelling through
CASTLE. in Spain, came out of an inn
one day recently to find his automo-
lille surrounded by the population of
she whole village. who were gazing at
it with much interest and examining
the back wheels. out of which large
Jumps had just been cut. The damage
had been caused by the mother of Il
large family who artlessly confesseI
dat. seeing so much rubber on the
wheels. she had cut few pieces out

for making pencils is Virginia or red
cedar, which grows abundantly in the
South. especially in Alabama and
Florida. Europe. having nothing as
good among its own trees for pencil
covering as Virginia cedar, obtains
its supply of this material from the
United States. But the American
manufacturer is compelled to go
abroad for the graphite contained in
pencils. Mexico. Bohemia. Ceylon and
Siberia yield the best qualities of
graphite. The preparation OF graphite
of which. with clay. pencil lead con
sists, is an important industry in itself,
and it has its home in Germany.

Rapidly Ealing Into Decay.

AS the structure stands now it is un-
slightly to the average passer-by, for it
is not only falling into decay, but its
front is almost completely hidden by
bill boards. To the eyes of those in
terested in the early architecture of
this country. however. it wears a vast
ly different face. The man who de-
signed it apparently was enough of

Little Known Of Early History.

Little is known of the early history
of the structure. There are no au
thentic records as to what it was built
for nor when it was erected. Even
its first owner is not known to the
local antiquarian. 1t is known, how
eyer. that ii formerly stood al the
fork of the old Albany Post road and
Braddish lane. where it had a COM
manding position on the crown of the
hill, in full view OF stage coach and
OK team that struggled in the winding
climb from the valleys at either side.
Some of the elm trees that surround
ed the little house then still remain,
but they are known only to oldtimers
and to few surveyors, who have used
them as guides and monuments in
parceling land.
That the old building has been
moved several times is certain. There
are old men in the neighborhood who
can recall it once stood on what is
now known as Claremont avenue. And
there are other folk who have made

Mexican Bread Fruit,

In the public gardens at New York

epiphyte that clings to dead tree.

roof, with its one half-circular window

the second story and the wrought iron
ratings and posts are of the earlier
period. and fit in with the severer
style OF architecture more happily
than such combinations usually do.
From the internal arrangements of
the structure one might imagine it
was originally designed for use as
public building of some kind, either
court house or church. No one knows
anything of its usage at this period OF
il career. But it is known that in
