EIowerpots.

All new floWerpots require to be
soaked in water and allowed to dry
thoroughly before being used. The soil
does not hang we'll to the sides of gar
den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots
are open to the same objection. Let
any one try to put a plant with fresh
soil into a pot which has been used
before and left unwashed, and he will
find in few days, when the soil be-
gins to dry, that it leaves a space and
does not adhere as it should to the
sides Of it. No plant can possibly
flourish under such circumstances. The
roots Of a plant draw to the sides of a
pot naturally in search of moisture,
and growth of course is checked If Il
current of air is allowed to pass be-
tween them and the sides. Some plants
exhibit this tendency in such a remark
able degree that few roots are to be
seen, except Il network on the outside
of the soil next the pot.

PREC0CIOUS JOHN DAvY.
Childhood Incident of the Author Of

Childhood Incident of the Author of
"The Bay of Bisoay.'
An interesting anecdote Of the youth
of John Dayy, who composed the ia
nous song "The Bay Of Biscay," shows
how decided and precocious was this
musicians aptitude for the art he ulti-
mately practiced with artistic if not
near Exeter in 1865. At the age of six
he evinced a passion for music, which
he sought every means Of gratifying,
He was in want Of a musical instru-
ment and determined to provide him.
self with one Of however rough ma
ture. So from a neighboring smithy
he purloined twenty to thirty horse
shoes. From these he selected as many
as formed complete octave and, hay
ing suspended them in an upper room,
amused himself by initiating upon
them the chimes Of the neighborne
church of Creditor.
BY these and other means he obtain
ed a knowledge Of music which some
thirty years later enabled him to pro
duce many dramatic pieces and such
songs as "Just Like Love-" "The DEATH
Of the Smuggler'' and THE Bay OF
Biscay," only the last of which has re
manned popular.

TIDES OF THE OCEAN.
Regularity of the Flow and Ebb of ths
Restless Waters.

OF all the operations of nature in
the whole world there are none more
regular in their courses than the tides
Of the ocean. So perfect is their ac-
ton and so constant are they in their
ebb and flow that the big maritime
governments are able to figure out
the height of each and every tide for
every day and night more than year
in advance for any part of the earth's
surface.
In most places the tides run about
four to the twenty-four hours, two be-
ing food, when the water sweeps in
from the sea and makes what is known
as high water, and two being ebb,
when it sweeps back to the ocean, leav-
ing low water.
Each of these tides lasts about six
hours-that is, for five hours or more
the waters are on the move, rushing
in or out, and they cease for q time
standing quite still in some places.
Sometimes a tide will run flood on
the surface while it is running ebb be
low near the bottom. Places where
this happens are always likely to make
danger spots for the mariner.
In the majority of places the tides
rise and fall only a few feet, but on
shores where the banks are very steep,
falling off abruptly into deep water, it
often happens that the tide when it
rises comes in so fast that it pours
through all narrow openings in cas-
cade-like torrents, making such things
as the famous CHORES" which may be
seen in places like the bay of Fundy.
In other places, again, there will be
more or less than four tides in the
twenty-four hours. Furthermore, there
are localities where hardly any tidal
action at all can be observed. All
these peculiarities have been studied
and are taken into account nowadays
by the observers who make up the
tidal tables.

Diqestible Food.

One of the biggest mistakes about
food which people make is to forget
that the true value of food to anybody
is the measure Of its digestibility. Half
pound Of cheese is vastly more nour-
fishing as regards it's mere composition
than half Il pound Of beef, but while
the beef will be easily digested and
thus be of vast service to us the cheese
is put out Of court altogether for ordi-
nary folks by reason of its indigesti-
bility. We should bear this rule in
mind when we hear people comparing
one food with another in respect to
their chemical value. - London Hospi-

MAN AND HIS HAT.
They Are Firmly Bound Together by
the Red Tape of Society.

They Are Firmly Bound Together by
the Red Tape of Society.
There are things, it is a comfort to
know, which even man cannot DO,
and a man is supposed to be able to do
almost anything. Now, a novelist may
put his heroine's hat on her head at
any angle he chooses-it is one Of the
few privileges of Womanhood-and
leave her not bit less charming or
tlignified, but I defy him to put his
hero's hat at a rowdy angle over his
ear at crucial point in his career and
leave him still heroic! The Achilles
heel Of a man is his hat! He must
guard that as he does his reputation,
for it is at once his strength and his
weakness
1t would hurt an archbishop-and an
archbishop necessarily stands for all
that is good and great-less in the eyes
Of the public to commit a crime than
to wear his hat on the back of his
sacred head-real back-and so exhibit
himself to his distressed diocese. He
may have all the known virtues and
tuduy tudt are 1lOt huUN1l, Uut CfCl1 I'LL
archbishop cannot with impunity defy
convention. Still, if he is so inclined,
why should not a good and great man
wear his hat over his nose without
creating unfayorable comment? The
fact is he cannot. He is ruled by con-
vention, and convention is the red tape
Of society.
The cast iron laws Of fashion, which
is only another name for convention,
are such that if the greatest man in
England were to walk with all his ac-
customed dignity from the Marble arch
to the bank with a trailing peacock's
feather attached to the band of his i'm
maculate silk hat he would be followed
by mob in two seconds, and by the
time he reached We're street the out
ragged majesty of the law would take
him into custody as suspicious char
acter.-Mrs. John Lane in Putnam's
Monthly.

A DAM BUILT ON END.
How a Clever Engineer Conquered a
Mechanical Difficulty.

Almost every boy has built dozens
of dams in various ways, constructing
them across the bed of the channel,
wide or narrow, to be damned. But
did any boy ever think of building a
dam on end and then tipping it over?
An inventive American engineer, Isham
Randolph, who became famous by his
work on the Chicago drainage canal,
has tried this idea on the Niagara river
200 yards above the Horseshoe fall and
made remarkable success Of it.
OF course an ordinary dam could not
easily be built in the fiercely racing
currents of Niagara hurrying to plunge
over the fall. So Mr.. Randolph decided
to build his dam ON end on the very
edge Of the river. It was not meant to
do more than raise the water level
few inches, SO as to prevent water
scarcity in winter for the Canadian
town of Niagara Falls when the ice
jam comes on. A dam seven feet or SO
high was enough and fifty feet long.
/ Turned on end, this meant column
fifty feet high and seven feet four
inches square. The clever engineer
used concrete as the cheapest, easiest
and least corrosive material But any
column of any material was certain to
break in the shock Of falling. How
was that to be provided for?
Easily enough, the inventive builder
argued. Up the middle Of the concrete
column, like huge backbone, he ran
strong iron chain weighing about 500
pounds The whole column weighed
some 200 tons. At intervals eight feet
apart all the way up it along the land
ward face wooden wedges were insert
ed, so that in breaking it would follow
these lines and break into regular
blocks, held together by the chain. The
plan was audacious, but entirely prac-
tical-a true yankee notion" On Nov.
8, 1905, the finished dam was sent fly
ing over by three hydraulic jacks.
Amid the breathless interest Of large
crowd of spectators the concrete col
1lmn fell, splashed and settled. When
splash and spray subsidized there it
stretched, broken at the destined
points, tilted Il trife irrcgularly in the
middle, where the river bed was high
en-, but quite cffectual. The depth Of
water increased ten inches at once.
The "obelisk dam" was d success

PIGS AS FASTERS.
The Wonderful Ability of Swine to Live
Without Food.

Very few people have any idea of
how long swine can live without food,
although much has been said about the
quantity they can consume But, be-
lievc me- piggic is record breaker
when it comes to living without any
thing at all to eat.
The incident that | am about to re-
late occurred in Michigan and very
we'll illustrates what l have above
stated.
4 farmer who had driven a large
number of hogs into 4 settlement to
sell after reaching his destination miss
ed a fine black SOW. Search was made
in every conceivable place without dis
covering anything of the missing pork
err,
Weeks passed by, and the farmer had
given up all hope of ever recovering
his lost or stolen prosperity when to his
surprise it was found in the cellar of
an old abandoned house.
AS the house was situated at the edge
of the road over which he had driven
the hogs, it is supposed that she fell
through the rotten flooring upon which
she had stepped at some moment when
the farmers eyes had wandered in an
other direction
When brought up she was pitiable
sight The skin hung in folds upon her
poor, unpadded bones.
Food was given her in small quanti-
ties at first, and it was not long before
she entirely recovered from her long
fast
On referring to the books recording
the sale of the rest of the stock it was
learned that three months lacking five
days had elapsed, showing that she
had sustained life without nourish-
ment for as long a period as the ac-
credited alternating animals. New

CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH.
A Daring Young Adventurer With a
Thrilling Career.

Thrilling Career.
Captain John Smith of Willoughby.
Lincolnshire, was the man to whom
the success of the first English perma-
nent settlement in North America was
directly due Though only twenty-six
when the expedition sailed with INN
on board, he had already enjoyed such
a succession of thrilling experiences as
was the lot of few men even in the adj
yenturous age of Elizabeth. At the age
of sixteen he had entered on a military
career in France and the Low Countries.
In 1900 he sought service against the
Turks, who We're then ut the height OF
their power and had only lately ceased
to threaten Vienna itself. On the way
to the east he was thrown overheard
as a Huguenot and was rescued by a
pirate, from whom his inexhaustible
resourcefulness enabled him to escape
after time. He then entered the Aus
trian service and soon signalized him
self by a series of brilliant exploits.
One of these the defeat of three Turk
ish champions in single fight, earned
him his well known coat of arms,
"three Turks heads in Il Shield" from
Sigismond Bathori, prince of Transyl-
vania. Later he was taken prisoner by
the Turks and owed his escape to the
interest with which he inspired a Turk
ish lady. "Whatever might happen

to turn it to account In the worst dan
gers he knew what was the right thing
