GAMBLING IN APPLES.
Speculation in Fruit Bought in Blossom
Has Sad Finale

Losses of more than 100000 it is
estimated, will be sustained by bold
spectators who last spring took the
chances ON blossoming trees and bought
up the ungrown fruit of New York state
and part of Canada.
They now have on their hands 1000
600 barrels, which they are daily trying
to unload and it looks as though before
the season closed there would be a wind
fall for the pie bakers. The holders must
get rid of the supply within two months
and the buyers are holding back to a
mournful extent.
One of the favorite forms of gambling
up the state is buying the future apple
crop. Some of the farmers acquire the
orchards of the neighborhood, and the
state in the spring is traversed by brok-
ers and spectators who look over the
orchards and offer lump sums for the
output, or agrees to take the fruit at SO
much barrel
1t is the custom to go long and short
on the apple market, just as it is on
stocks, and the game is played with as
much energy as though the SPECTATORS

SEA WATER AS MEDICINE.
Its Ancient Popularity Revived in Re-
cent Years

Common sea water, which centuries
ago was popular remedy in sickness,
has revived its usefulness lately
In addition to common salt sea water
contains many important mineral sub
stances, the total solid matter amount,
ing to 81 to 3.S per cent. Sea water has
been given with good results in cases of
dyspepsia, loss of appetite and tubercu-
losis.
In general, says the British Medical
journal, the appetite was improved and
strength was rapidly regained. In order
to obtain the best and most immediate
results it is necessary to observe certain
precautions.
The sea water must be natural, as it is
impossible to initiate so complex a liq-
uid. Indeed it has been proved that sea
salt when redissolyed in distilled water
lacks some of the properties of natural
sea water, eXerting a tonic action upon Il
Cog when injected simultaneously.
1t must be freshly collected, as it loses
carbon dioXide on standing, with precipi-
tation of some of its salts. 1t should be
taken from the open sea, remote from
rivers and other sources of pollution
1t should be sterilized by filtration. as
heat associates the bicarbonates and de-
stroys the natural equilibrium of the liq-
uid. When required for simultaneous
injection it should be diluted with water
to the same concentration as normal
blood serum. Distilled water is not suit
able for its dilution, as it sometimes
causes pain.

tartinq a Flower Garden

The spring is the time the average
amateur gardener makes his worst mis-
takes. Too often he buys seed which he
does not handle properly, with the re-
suit that bare spots in the 60 fden show
where he expected beautiful blossoms.
The young plants that he expected TO
flower are killed by the hot sun or
choked under heavy or dry soil.
The amateur who would rival the pro
fessional florist in the radiance of his
garden should make a start now by SOW
ing seed of many kinds of snowy an
nuals in boxes or pots to be kept indoors
for while The boxes should have
holes for drainage in the bottom but
should not be so open as to keep the soil
dry. Ordinary garden soil may be used
in the bottom, but at the top there
should be a lighter soil, well mixed The
small seed should be sown on the sur
face, then fine soil spread over them and
pressed down, but not so hard us to
cause the soil to bake. Coarse seed can
best be planted in little drills, or each
seed pressed down into the soil and the
whole covered with a thin layer of earth.
The soil should be gently sprinkled with
water Immediately after the planting.
Only the quantity of water which the
soil can absorb without becoming sogCy
should be given. The box should be wa
tered subsequently whenever the soil be-
comes dry little below the surface.
1t is a good practice to SOW the seed
in rows, as this enable the soil to be cas-
ilv stirred to prevent it baking The
box should be set by the window ana
riven plenty of light but at the same time
shielded from hot sunlight. When The
plants have grown to a fair size it VIII
be warm enough outdoors to set them
out in the garden.

Pansies.

The pansy or heartsease is one of the
oldest and most popular of garden flow
ers. The brilliance and variety of their
colors make them most useful as Dor
der plants.
The amateur may SOW seed in the
spring, where the soil is moist and not
too warm, and he will get plants that
viii blossom in summer and keep bloom
ing until fall. The flowers must be kept
picked closely, TO insure steady blooming.
Ii earlier blossoms are desired. plants

seedlings TO pots to he kept in the house

Carrot Possibilities

There's an old story to the effect that
on anaemic young woman once went to
her family physician for tonic. After
giving her prescription he followed it
by this advice: Take little claret with
each meal" A month later the young
woman returned radiant with the happi-
ness that good looks bring.
We'll, I've done just as you told me,
doctor, she said. I've taken little
carrot with each meal. and sometimes a
great big one at dinner"
Whether this story may or may not
have more fiction than truth as its foun-
dation, the fact remains that carrots are
healthful. though somewhat commonplace
and are too seldom served in the average
home. This is, no doubt, often due to
lack of familiarity with appetizing ways
in which to prepare this vegetable.
Especially Mt this season of the year,
when green vegetables are expensive. the
housekeeper who dislikes using too many
canned goods and is forced to count the
pennies, should do little experimenting
as TO carrot possibilities.
For instance, how many housekeepers
would ever dream of filling creamed car
rots into individual ramekins, covering
them with buttered crumbs, and brown
ing in a quick oven SO served, the or
binary creamed carrots become an entire
ly different dish, rarely left uneaten even
by those who, as a rule, do not care for
this vegetable. Try it and see how it
works
Or, better STILL fill the creamed car
rots into green pepper shells, top with
buttered crumbs and perhaps a few
sprinkles of cheese. Such a dish gar
nished with crisp curlycues of celery is
attractive as we'll as palatable. In this
case the pepper cups may be eaten, too,
and add much to the flavor
Carrots boiled and mashed may be
shaped into croquette form. rolled in
bread crumbs, and fried in deep fat. A
plate of these croquettes prettily gar
nished, would pass very acceptably as
the piece de resistance either at a home
luncheon or supper.
AS an entree any of the above would
prove very suitable as well as extreme
ly economical addition to a luncheon or
dinner menu.-New York Times.

100 Years ago in Ohio.

Incredible as it seems. Cleveland. the
present metropolis of the state and one
of the great cities of the country. was
not incorporated as a village until 1911.
and had then a population of not more
than 800 people, though its location made
it prominent in a small way. The entire
commerce of Lake Erie up to 1912 was
carried on by six small schooners
Cincinnati already important though
not vet incorporated, contained about 800
dwellings, good courthouse and Jail, up
ward of twenty stores, and, as an old
description says, The various branches
of mechanism are carried on with spirit
industry Of every kind being duly en-
couraged by the citizens, ii is likely 70
become a considerable manufacturing
place"
Until 1911, when a steamboat was for
the first time launched ON the Ohio river
keel boats propelled with poles left Gin
einnati to Pittshurg every four weeks.
On account of the Indians and outlaws
who infested the banks the trips were
dangerous, so the boats were provided
with bullet proof covers and carried can
non and small firearms. Ohio Magazine.

AN UNCoNQUERED PEAK.
Lizard Head in Colorado Has Never Been
Climbed

The mountains and peaks of San Juan
in southwestern Colorado present diff
ferent appearance from any of the north
ern Rockies.
They are grander, more precipitous.
with sharper pinnaces and more jagged
in outline. In height, Mounts Massive,
Ebert and Blanca slightly outrank
those of the San Juan, but nowhere
else can be found whole groups of noun
tains rearing their heads to and above
1900 feet.
Mount Wilson-14.Z50 feet-the dom
inant peak. is one of the most massive
in the entire Rocky mountain range.
Just east of this mountain is the re-
markable trachyte obeisk called the
Lizard Head" The vivid imagination
of an early pioneer who had been see
ing things" is said TO be responsible
for the name.
The summit is 14,160 feet above the
sea. From ponderous base the PIN
nacle rises 290 feet with a diameter at
the foot of only about go feet, gradual
.ly tapering to less than half that ut the
top.
Lizard Head has defed all attempts of
mountain climbers to reach its sum-
nit. The foot of the pinnacle is easily
accomplished. but thus far the steep
sides of the 290-foot shaft have proved
insurmountable. No doubt the time will
come when the venturesome mountain
climber will find way, but many a
failure is the record of the past
