Some tablets still remaining showed
that those parties were carefully Sc

water had to be brought from long
distance, the men mined in companies
Of 500 or 600. The usual time for the

One expedition had conveyed to 1t

THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.

Any man with nothing to do has a
hard job.
He who never tumbles isn't much
of a traveller.
Money furnishes a house, but it
takes love to furnish home.
An ounce of honest criticism is
worth more than pound of flattery.
Nine-tenths of what the average
man knows is of no earthly use to
him.
Don't take stock in anything that
doesn't pay fair and honest divi-
dend.
Forgiving without forgetting is a
good deal like giving receipt for
money without signing your name to
it.

VINES MAKE PORCH A BOWER.
Easy to Have Veranda a Cool and
Beautiful Retreat.

Every possessor of house with a
porch, whether in city, suburb or coun-
try, should realize the opportunity he
has, with the help of nature, to make
1t delicious and beautiful, cool,
green, shady retreat in summer. In
winter 1t matters little what it is.
Vines will transform any porch into
bower To have vigorous vines
plenty OF rich soil is needed, and it
is best to insure this by adding plenty
of COW manure or bone meal to make
1t rich. Good drainage, as in any
flower garden, Is also essential.
In the woods many wild vines may
be found. There are the Dutchman's
pipe, the wild grape, the moon seed
vine, the trumpet vine and others.
The wild grape vine is especially use
full and easily obtained. Its luxuriant
foliage, rapid growth and delightful
fragrance make 1t useful for summer
houses and similar structures. The
trumpet vine with it's scarlet orange
flowers is very easily grown, not at
all sensitive to rough treatment. 1t is
found In many parts of the country
wild. These vines may ali be OBJ
tanned also from dealers.
The silk vine Is very fine, with
dark green, luxuriant foliage of neat
habit 1t belongs to the milk weed
family of plants and derives its name
from the silky contents of its seed
pods. 1t Is excellent for the veranda
and is used to cover many famous old
ruins.
A number of the clematises are well
worthy of place on the most beauti
full verandas, especially the Towering
varieties such as Clematis Jackmanni
which has purple flowers, and Gle.
mats Henryi, which has neat white
flowers, both producing a mass OF
rich color when In bloom.

Wood as a Food.

The humorists are right, and the

treatment, may be converted into
sugar. But unprepared wood can have
no value as food for the human organ.

are not able to deal with 1t. A certain
amount of woody fiber is thought to
be digested by the horse, by reason
of the presence of peculiar digestive
secretion in his digestive canal which
is able to convert cellular tissue into
sugar. In the same way wornout
shirts and collars could be converted
into food.
