used for The bed should he free from
weed seeds and should be put in good
tllth beforr the plants are put out. Get
your plants from some one in your I'M

nurserymun. For tile ordinary garden
The perfect varieties are best namely,
those whose blossoms bear both sta
mems and plstils, We have known or
remarkably thrifty beds, from the
standpoint 0r foliage and blossom,
which did not produce berry, the re-
suit being simply due to the fact that
the blossom was imperfect, needing
fertilization from other staminate or
perfect plants. The rows shOnld be
about three and half feet apart and
the plants set two and a half feet
apart IN the row. Give the beds thor

weeds. IL Is considered best 10 pinch

Sth, coterie Of HindoO jugglers, 30
classed, are presented. In appearance
they are best compared to our genuine
gypsies. In numerous accomplishments
they are exceptionally skillful. They
will make a serpent disappear; a tree
grow and bring forth fruit. or water
flow from an apparently empty vase.
Others will swallow sabre or play
tricks with sharp knives Each has his
special accomplishments. They are con-
jurers, acrobats and exhibitors of
wonderful teats Of strength. They form
subtle and crafty tribe and in their
own county are feared by the common
people. The top trick is one CT their
curious feats. A vigorous impulse IL
given top which Is placed on the end
OF small stick and balanced on the
lugglers nose. Then, according TO the
request OF the spectator, the top sudden
ly stops or again resumes its spinning
An examination OF both the top and
stick will reveal no mechanical con
trivance. Another astonishing feat
consists in receiving on the shoulders a
ball Of stone OF great weight dropped
from very considerable height. with.
out the juggler appearing in the least
hurt. Other remarkable performers
utilize high masts or bamboo poles mp
on the top of which they preform mum
erous tricks with swords, knives, etc.
They put themselves into the most
astonishing contortiohs and perform
eahilibristic feats displaying wonderous
ekill while perched on their bending
and swaying poles.
