HENDRIX WINS THE SERIES
Local College Boys Win From Henderson
Monday and Tuesday.

After winning three straight
games from Ouachita on the home
grounds and losing three straight
at Arkadelphia, the Hendrix ball
team hitched up with Henderson
in Conway for a series Monday.
The first game was an easy victory
for the local college boys, who
scored four runs in the first inning
and apparently took the spirit out
of the visitors. Scott pitched hard
for shut out, but Henderson
scored in the ninth and the game
ended 6 to I for Hendrix.

In Tuesdays game the visitors
started with rush, scoring three
runs in the opener and looked as
if they were going to turn the ta-
bles on the locals. A great batting
rally in the seventh and eighth,
however, overcame the lead Of
Henderson. Erwin, the Hendrix
catcher, was taken out of the game
by Coach Leonard in the seventh
for Indifferent playing.

AQUATIC PLANTS
How They May He Successfully Culti-
waited In Tubs.

The cultivation of aquatic plants in
tubs makes it possible for any one to
try his skill with them. OF course he
need not expect to be able to grow the
rarer sorts of nymphaea, but lie can
succeed with many beautiful varieties
of water lily and other plants of that
class. A half barrel is not very at
traetive in itself. but its lack of beauty
may be concealed by the plants, or it
may be sunk its depth in the earth.
When it contains Il fine specimen of
some aquatic plant we will forget all
about its lack of grace. When prepar-
ing for these plants put in rich black
mud from the bed of streams or muck
from swamps to the depth of foot;
then plant your roots in it and fill with
water Add enough water from time
to time to make up for that which is
lost by evaporation and give the tub a
sunny place in the yard or garden. If
you want to grow more plants than one
tub will accommodate. it is good
plan to take four. five. six, or as many
as you may decide on. and have them
sunk in the ground close together, so
that the general effect will be some
thing like that which a large tank
would give. 4 better plan, though a
more expensive one TO carry out, is
TO have a tank constructed of heavy
planks. These should be securely bolt
ed at the ends and the joints made
tight by white lead in the grooves.

Iron nOnxer.

The word "ironmonger' has as curl
Gus an origin as any other word in the
English language. 1t means literally
an eater of iron and came TO its present
use in this way. There was once law
that forbade buying fish to sell again.
and the fish hawkers, who still carried
on their trade in spite of this law, We're
faCetiously termed fish eaters or fish
mongers, for, to eyade the law, their
large purchases OF fish were said to be
for their own consumption. Gradually
the term monger was applied to other
trades, as cheesemonger. until at last
it camc TO mean any middle man, as
distinguished from manufacturer. and
so was applied to the dealer in hard
ware.--London Graphic

Burma Customs.

Two ceremonies in Burma mark when
childhood stops and manhood or wom-
anhood begins. The boys have their
thighs tattOoed and the girls their ears
bored. The boring of a girls ears is
commenced with a needle, and the
puncture is gradually increased until
the tip Of the finger can be introduced.
The charging process is the one car
ried out in the Polyneslan islands,
where a native can carry a good sized
knife hanging in the lobe of his ear.
The ugliest mutiIation is that of the
Eskimo, who punches a hole in his
cheek and puts bone stud into it. The
Burmese boy suffers great pain from
the elaborate characterization of his legs.
