FLOWERS FOR A WEDDING,
Suggestions for Decoration for Home
Wedding by Use of Bay Win
dow as Background.

Almost any flowers which an old
fashioned garden affords are lovely
Tor summer wedding. A bay win
dow is often used as the place for
the bridal party to stand, and this
lends itself particularly we'll to deco.
ration, says the Housekeeper.
The curtains can be drawn together
and edged with delicate vines. Be.
tween each window section. a tall
evergreen tree planted in large Dot,
painted white, can help to make a
most graceful background. A low
table covered with a white cloth can
be set at the back of the bay win.
dow. Upon this may be placed a vase
OF blossoms Of any desired hue, and
two tall brass candlesticks holding
lighted tapers.
A small white rug upon the floor
in front of the table, marks the spot
where the clergyman is to stand.
Curving outward from the front of
the bay window, small evergreen
trees, also in white pots, can make a
green chancel boundary; leaving an
opening at the center where the
bride and groom will stand.
Another pretty arrangement is to
have screens placed at the back of
the bay window, covered with sprays
Of graceful bloom. The ceiling of
the bay window can be covered with
wire netting and massed with laurel
leaves or other dark green; and hang.
ing from this can be numerous
lengths OF fine wire or string wound
with vines, and each holding from its
tip end a spray of blossoms-either
roses, SnOwballs, peonies or lilies
could be used, and the effect is lovely.
White ribbons can form an aisle at
the time of the bridal procession. If
wished, these ribbons can be held by
four little girls dressed in white and
crowned with flowers.

LIFE IN OCEAN.
Professor of Cambridge (Eng.) Uni.
Versity Tells Some New and
Interesting Facts,

]. Stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge
university, has been exploring the
indian ocean and gives it as his opin.
Ion that at one time there was land
connection between Ceylon and Mad.
agascar. But it is in describing the
wonders Of the deep that his report
grows most interesting. "A very con.
siderable variety of deep-sea fish was
brought up" he says. AT least half
the number We secuaed seemed quite
new specimens, and, | believe, are
not described in any textbook. Some
or these had enormous eyes, some
only rudimentary eyes, the size of
pins head, while some had no
eyes at all.
One of the most interesting dis
coVerles we made was that floating
lie Is exceedingly abundant at all
depths down to about 1900 fathoms
IN seas $500 fathoms deep. By float
ing life mean animals which form
the food OF whales and deep-ocean
fish, and which up to the present
have been believed to live on or very
close to the surface. A variety OF
enormous squids was fshed out as
we'll as jelly fish and gigantic prawns
fully six inches long. Some of these
latter were blind, while others had
huge eyes, but nearly all of them
had phosphorescent organs, which
would naturally be due to the fact
that they live at a depth where al
most total darkness prevails.
1.-THE blind varieties had enormous
feelers, or tentacles, some of them
extending to twice the length OF
Cneir own bodies. Some forms, such
as the water flea, which is only about
the size of a pins head in surface
water. we discovered six or ten times
that size in 600 or zoo fathoms."

New Fruit of Value.

A new fruit that seems likely to
prove of considerable value has been
developed by the cultivation of the
very familiar "maypop," plant which
is very familiar in the southern states,
quite ornamental, easily grown from
seeds and affords a handsome cover for
arborS and verandas. 1t is known to
botanists as passiflora incarnata. The
fruit in its improved form is somewhat
bigger than a hens egg and decidedly
paIatable. 1t looks like a May apple.

For the Bird

Canaries are fond of green food and
when lettuce is scarce substitute Is
offered in a little of their favorite seed
planted in small flower pots and al
lowed to grow. The birds like it all
the better if they are allowed to pick
out the plants themselves.

Trees Of Great Age.

The distinction of being the Oldest
living thing undoubtedly belongs to
one of four trees. A century ago De
Canbolle found two yews, one at Fort
ingal, in Perthshire, and one in He'd
sor, in England, that were estimated
to be, respectively, $500 and S,24O
years old. Both are still fiourishing,
and the older tree has trunk u feet
round.
