OLD LONDON BRIDGE.
IL Linked the Tw.lfth Century With
the Einhfeenfh

II Linked the Tw.Ifth Century With
the Eighteenth.
For centuries old London bridge,
with it's double row of houses, was the
home Of generations who lived and
traded over the Thames waters.
Holbein lived and painted there. Os-
borne, the prentice lad, leaped through
window in the house Of his master,
Sir William Hewet, to the rescue of
Sir Williams daughter, who had fallen
into the swollen flood of the river be-
low. and by winning her for his wife
laid the foundation Of the ducal house
Of Leeds. Crispin Tucker had his shop
on the bridge, to which Pope and
Swift and many another author of
fame made pilgrimages to purchase
books and gossip with the waggish
shopkeepeF. Crocker's Dictionary was
printed "at the Looking Glass on Lon
don bridge" and gigantic corn mills
dominated the south end Of the struc-
ture, not many yards from the wonder
full Nonsueh House, a huge wooden
pile with turrets and cupolas brought
from Holland.
Such in brief outline was the London
bridge which linked the twelfth with
the eighteenth century and which
when 1t was on its last tottering legs
was removed to give place to its fine
successor of our day. the stone Iii
which is said to be NEARLY double

SOWING FLOWER SEEDS.
Get The Best and the Freshest-Firm
ing the Soil.

Get The Best and the Freshest-Firm.
ing the Soil.
To secure a good stand the first
requisite is first class seed. Flower
seeds are generally smaller and more
delicate than farm seeds, and the pur-
chase of poor grades at bargain rates
is usually waste of time and money.
Plant only strong, fresh seed. Usually
the highest priced is the cheapest.
The next step is the preparation of
the seed bed. See that the soil is
thoroughly mellowed. The first stage
in termination is the absorption of
water. The rate of absorption is de-
termined by the number of points of
contact between the seed coat and the
soil particles. Firming the soil null
tiplies the number of points of con-
tact; hence the wisdom of one famous
authority's rule to put your foot on
everything you sow. If the soil Is
wet this firming is inadvisable, but If
dry it is quite necessary.
The depth of the covering is gov
erned largely by the size of the seed.
Generally seeds may be covered to
depth equal in thickness to the length
of the seed. Very small seeds should
not be covered at all, the better plan
being to shade them for few days
with papers to hasten termination.
Each class of seeds has its own
germinative temperature requirement
Some, like the sweet pea, sprout when
the frost is hardly out of the ground,
whereas other kinds require a good
warm soil, and the seed will rot if
planted too soon. The habitat of the
plant will usually give one. clew in
this regard. Plants from cool regions
or high attitudes usually start early,
and those from warmer regions should
not be planted until later.
AS the seeds begin to sprout 1t Is
well to go over the surface of the bed
with a rake and break the crust for
the purpose of assisting the young
plantlet in getting through.
Competition should be eliminated by
keeping the weeds down and by thin
ming out. Overcrowding means weak,
spindly plants. Give plenty of room
and sunlight if you want your plants
to thrive.

HOW TO GROW cANNAs.
Planning the Bed - Some Famous

Planning the Bed - Some Famous
Types-To Secure Early Flowers.
On account of their free Towering
habit and ease of culture the cannas
are general favorites for summer bed
ding purposes. There are two types,
the green leaved and the red leaved.
The green leaved varieties are Guilt
waited for their flowers, while the red
leaved type is grown primarily for
the broad, richly colored leaves. The
Gamma is useful as a bedding plant
rather than as cut flower, as the
flowers are fragile and soon perish
when cut.
One type known as the orchid flow
ering produces unusually large bios
SONS. The Austria and Italia.i are
good examples.
In color the Gamma ranges FROM car
dinal to yellow. including every stage
Of Interpretation. In some varieties,
as the Florence Vaughan, the body
color of the petals Is a deep red, scat
tered through which are bright orange
dots.
The Gamma was developed and i'm
proved by Frenchman Of the name
of Crozy. One of the most widely
known varieties is the Nine. Crozy, in
troduced by him and named in honor
of his wife: The Gamma ranges from
two to six feet in height In arrang-
ing bed care should be taken to have
the taller kinds in the center, tapering
down toward the border. Sam Ire
lease is one of the dwarfest forms and
an excellent variety for the outside
row. For large bed a single plant
of the red leaved castor bean may be
used for the center Next to this
place the taller variety Of cannas, next
by a row of the red leaved Gamma,
such as Black Beauty. Follow the
last row of cannas with the scarlet
sage, Saliva splendens, and for the
border next to grass there is nothing
superior to the candytuft or the va
riegated leaved geranium. Nine. Sci
lerio. The size of the bed should be
proportionate to the area of the lawn.
The Gamma requires a rich, moist.
well drained soil. This may be Sc
cured by the application of we'll rot
ted manure or nitrate of soda.
The propagation of the Gamma is very
simple. When the frosts come on the
tops are cut back and the clumps lift
ed with as much soil as will con-
veniently adhere These clumps are
closely packed on shelves or in boxes
and stored in the cellar at about the
temperature required for the potato.
The next spring the clumps are sub
divided into pieces three-fourths of an
inch long and having one or two
strong eyes to each piece. To secure
early flowers the eyes should be start
ed in a hotbed or window box; other
wise they may be planted directly in
the bed Aside from cultivating and
watering. the one point of Importance
is to keep the seed pods cut away. AS
with all Towering plants, the one pur-
pose of the flower is that of repro
duction. If the seed pods are cut away
as soon as the flowers wither they con-
tinue this effort indefinitely; otherwise
Towering ceases with the maturing of
the first crop of seed The new flower
stalk appears at the last joint; hence
in removing the old stalk the cut
should be made above the joint.

GARDEN OF WILD FLOWERS.
This May Be Made Attractive Feature
of the Home Garden,

hUto NIay % iVaGC FbtT&GttNS Feature
of the Home Garden.
A very attractive feature of the
home garden is the SO called wild gar
den, in which are planted the various
species of local wild flowers that will
grow in captivity, such as the maiden
hair fern, the tiger lily, Solomon's seal,
jack in the pulpit, dogs tooth violet,
hepaticas, columbine, pink and yellow
lady slippers and others too numer-
GUS to mention. This garden may oc-
cupy a partly shady place along one
side of the house or 1t may be merely
a strip two feet wide, extending from
the front walk half the depth of the
lot and serving as a very beautiful
and unconventional fence line between
the home and the adjoining property.
When the long strip scheme is utilized
the wild flowers may be REINFORCED
with cultivated flowers. such as pop
pies, cosmos, zinnias and asters, with
an occasional rosebush to break the
monotony. To the possessor of such
a wild garden one of the joys of spring
is to watch for the first hepaticas and
later see the dogs tooth violet and the
Jack In the pulpit appear. An occa-
sional trip to the woods will replenish
the wild garden in case some of the
transplanted plants succumb to their
new environment.

To have the best success with this
plant one must bear in mind the fact
that it is a cool season crop. The pea
produces its best crop before the hot,
dry weather of summer comes on.
The seed should be sown in the fall
or early in the spring. 1t Is a good
plan to SOW the seed in the bottom Of
trench four or FIVE inches deep.

ally fill in later as the plants get

soil. The first sowing may be made on
the south slope. followed by successive
paintings. The bloom period may be
extended by making the last sowing on
a north slope or in some location where
the pea will receive partial shade
The pea requires an abundant supply
of water. If the season turns off dry
the plants should be watered copious-
ly, using the seed trench as an irriga-
ton ditch.
AS soon as the plants reach height
Of six inches a support or trellis of
some kind should be provided. Proba.
bly, the most convenient material for
this purpose is poultry netting. The
netting can be had In any desired
width and can be stored through the
winter and used from year to year.
Never allow any seed pods to ma

~ HE chief difference between
cooking for the sick and for
II those in good health is that the
sick person must have his food
Properly prepared and the one who is
perfectly well ought to have it proper
ly prepared. One is case Of neces-
sity in order to regain health; the 9TH
er Is a case of prevention to ward of
sickness. There Is no medicine more

kind Of food cooked and served In the

and nutritious. Since this is true
there is no part Of nursing more i'm

meals for one who has little appetite
mean more than choosing certain nu-
tritious foods and cooking them well.
They mean presenting the proper food
to the patient in such an attractive
way that an appetite will be awaken
ed and there will be a desire to eat.
1t is essential, then, that special care
be taken in arranging the patients

possibly would pass unnoticed by the
person in normal health may cause ac-

HOW TO GROW DAHLIAs.
Plant In Full Exposure to the Sun In
Enriched Soil,


There are so many new and rare
dahlias In addition to the old varieties
that no home garden is complete with
out these beautiful flowers. They
should be planted in full exposure to
the sun. The soil should be thorough
ly and deeply worked and should be
well enriched. The bulbs should be
planted from six to eight inches deep
and from two to three feet apart.
During a very dry period it may be
beneficial to give the plants water, but
many authorities believe artificial wa
tering of dahlias and other plants to
be more harmful than helpful, for the
reason that as a general proposition it
is insuficiently done. Dahlias should
be thoroughly watered or not at all
When the first shoots make their ap
pearance cut off all but the strongest
one and pinch off the top of that. This
will cause the dahlia to branch at the
surface of the ground, will concentrate
the strength of the root in this shoot
and remove all of the first imperfect
flowers which are 80 common to soms

AN ARCTIC CAMP.
Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof.

Peary's Canvas Tents, Which Were
Absolutely Snow Proof.
"a mans first night in a canvas tent
In the arctic is likely to be rather
wakeful." says Commander Peary In
Hampton's. The ice makes mysteri-
GUS noises, the dogs bark and fight out
side the tent, where they are tethered,
and as three Eskimos and one white
man usually occupy small tent and
the oil stove is left burning all night
the air, Notwithstanding the cold, is
not overpure, and sometimes the Eski-
mos begin chanting to the spirits Of
their ancestors In the middle of the
night. Sometimes. too, the new mans
nerves are tried by hearing wolves
howl in the distance.
1.-THE tents are specially made. They
are Of lightweight canvas, and the
floor Of the tent is sewed directly into
it. The fly is sewed up, a circular
opening in it just large enough to ad-
NIT man, and that opening fitted
with circular flap. which is closed by
a drawstring, making the tent abso-
lutely snow proof An ordinary tent
when the snow is flying would be filed
In no time.
1.-THE tent is pyramidal. with one pole
in the center, and the edges are usual
ly held down by the sledge runners or
by snowshoes used as tent pegs. The
men sleep on the floor in their clothes
with a musk OK skin or a couple of
deerskins wrapped around them.
1.-THE kitchen box for our sledge
journeys is simply wooden box con-
tanning two double burner oil stoves
with four inch wicks. The two cook
ing pots are the bottoms of five gallon
coal oil tins fitted with covers. When
packed they are turned bottom side up
over each stove, and the hinged cover
of the wooden box is closed.
ION reaching camp, whether tent or
snow igloo, the kitchen box is set
down inside. The top of the box is
turned up and keeps the heat of the
stove from melting the wall of the
igloo or burning the tent. The hinged
front of the box is turned down and
forms a table. The two cooking pots
are filed with pounded ice and put on
the stove. When the ice melts one pot
Is used for tea and the other may be
used to warm beans or to boil meat If
there is any.
Each man has a quart cup for tea
and hunting knife which serves
many purposes. He does not carry q
fork, and one teaspoon Is considered
quite enough for party of four. Each
man helps himself from the pot-sticks
In his knife and fishes out piece of
meat
1.-THE theory of field work is that
there shall be two meals day, one
in the morning and one at night. As
the days grow short the meals are tax
en- before light and after dark, leaving
the period of light entirely for work.
Sometimes it Is necessary to travel
twenty-four hours without stopping for
food
