THE SMALL GARDEN.
GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.

A garden SO constructed Will stand
great extremes Of wet and drouth,
for it is a mistake to suppose that
plants on well laid up beds suffer In
dry weather, on the contrary they will
continue to thrive when those on the
level are withering, so no one need be
afraid of making high beds, though
eighteen inches from the crown to the
foot of the ditch is sufficient elevation
unless the location is very low. Some
people might think that to devote 30
much space to paths with such a
small area available is a useless
waste. This is not the case. for the
frequent paths enable the gardener to
till and gather his crops without the
necessity of treading on the cultivated
ground. an advantage that far OFFSETS
the loss of space. The same plan may
be followed on property lot and
half wide. though, If two full lots are
available, an additional grass walk
down the centre will be useful, and add
much to the appearance of the garden,

MISTAKES ABOUT NICOTINE.
Doesn't Accumulate In Pipe STEMS
Very Little Nicotine Poisoning.

There are probably few subjects
about which more people are mlsln-
formed than nicotine.
Nearly everyone speaks of the dark
brown substance which has about the
consistency and color of molasses and
accumulates in the stems Of pipes as
nicotine. According to a scientific ar
ticle, it is not nicotine at all. and 1t
has no nicotine in it.
1t is nothing but tar-tobacco tar.
distilled from the smoke, just as coal
tar is distilled from coal and pine tar
from pine wood One might swallow
all the tobacco tar that a rank clay
pipe contains without serious harm.
If he swallowed the same quantity OF
nicotine he would probably be dead
inside of five minutes.
1t Is the tar that stains the pipe,
and it is the same tar that stains
the cigarette smokers fingers. 1t Is
also found inside the nostrlls OF one
who inhales smoke. and 1t puts an
indelible stain on mustaches.
1t is true that tobacco contains
plant, but nicotine is not a plentiful
article in nature. The rankest Ken
lucky tobacco contains less than Sper
cent of nicotine, and the finer grades
of tobacco, such as Havana. have less
than per cent.
One often hears cigarettes condemn
ed because the smoker gets 80 much
more nicotine through inhalinC the
smoke. The fact is that a cigarette
smoker gets almost no nicotine. be-
cause the tobacco of which cigarettes
are made contains next to no nico'
tine. Turkish and Egyptian tobaccos
carry only trace of nicotine. and
some OF them none at all.
But no matter how much of this
deadly element a tobacco contains
the smoker does not get it. Nicotine
is not extracted by burning the tobac

ed with nicotine he dies, and he
doesn't get poisoned by smoking.
There are plenty of good reasons why
smoking should not be carried to ex-
cess, but nicotine poisoning is not
one of them.

outside rows should be reserved for
beets. as they require thinning and
wedding. The centre rows of the fifth
bed should also be put in beans, late
varieties being chosen that are suitable
for shelling, Just as they reach their
full size. Yellow Swedish and Red
Flagsolets are far the best for this
purpose. One outside row should be
sown to Chard. delicious and pro-
lific vegetable much neglected In
this country. while the others will sup
ply plenty OF radishes If they are
sown broadcast. On double lot bed

tatoes, as nothing is better than the
young tubers when fresh dug, but
they begin to deteriorate very rapidly
as soon as exposed to the air. for
nothing equal in flavor to home grown

market man.
With regard to culture, no matter
how strong the temptation may be, no
one should ever attempt to do any
thing in garden when the foliage is
wet with dew or rain, or until the soil
is sufficiently dry to crumble between
the fingers without adhering to them.
and II it can be avoided no foot should
ever press the cultivated ground. The
most efficacious tool in any garden is
a sharp and narrow rake, which should
be constantly run between the rows
whenever the ground Is dry. Except
in very wet seasons this implement
when frequently used will sufiice to
keep down all weeds between the rows,
which 1t also keeps the soil sufficient

was the necessity OF maintaining perfect

What Caused a Riot,
While l was In st, Petersburg the
papers contained tho account OF q riot

Disturbance began In the morning and

To Leave the Pale.
The Russian government not only falls
z to protect the jewish portion of the popu-
8lation, but 1t has deprived It OF almost
all the advantages OF citizenship. In tho
first place, the right of residence Is lim-
lied to q gone consisting OF q few pro-
yinces, which Is called the Pale. The
right Of residence anywhere else in RUS
sia Is allowed only to those Jews who ara
graduates from, university. or those
who pay q merchants tax OF $3.50 year.
This tax must first be paid In 4 province
for five years before the Jew may live
wherever he pleases by paying the same.
1T is said that thousands Of families
