Fletcherism and Walters.

"Fletcherism may be good for the
digestion of the diner but it is bad for
the pocketbook of the waiter" said a
restaurant proprietor. People who
chew according to Fletcher sit at the
table so long that they keep other Gus
toners away, and so cut down the
number of tips. You don't see many
of these scientific eaters at Inch
time-even the Fletcherites don't have
time to keep tab on the movement of
their jaws then; but at night there
are many people abroad who eat by
rule. You can pick them out in
any restaurant. They count as they
masticate.
Il have two regular customers who
chew exactly 100 times on one bite of
bread alone. At that rate you can
figure how long 1t will take to get
through meal. Also, you can UNI
derstand that the walters don't think
much of Fletcher and his disciples"

the arsenate Of lead by putting eleven
ounces of acetate of lead in hogs

SWEET ALYssUM.

Sweet aayssum, the growing,
hardy, whise-howered and very frag-
rant annual, is much used for edg-
ings, window boxes and the like. It
is of the easiest culture, and thrives
best in a garden loan of moderate
fertility. A double Towering variety
has been produced, which is excel
lent for window boxes and for grow
ing in pots, and may be obtained from
most florists.
Seed of the single sweet alyssum
may be sown as early as the ground
can be prepared in the spring. The
plant begins to bloom when two or
three inches high and continues flow
ering until frost. 1t rarely reaches
more than foot in height. In the
fall the plants that have bloomed all
summer may be cut back and put in
pots, where they will flower all win
ter. Better results for winter flower
ing may be obtained by planting seed
in August, September or October.
