Odd Marriage Belief.

An unmarried man or woman OF
marriageable age is something that is
rarely seen In the Fiji islands. The
reason of this is not far to seek. the
natives believe that If a person dies
while in an unmarried state his or
her soul is doomed to wander about
through endless ages of eternity In an
intermediate region between heaven
and hades. At the end of each moon
they are allowed to look into heayen'
but are never permitted to enter.

away with sharp knife In alternate
slices, as is shown in the illustration.
NOW secure a number of large bowls
into which some hot-not scalding-
water has been poured. Tie all the
branches to be treated into bundles
and place the ends of the boughs in
the water, at once removing the
whole thing to dark cupboard.
This emersion in hot water seems
to have the curious tonic effect of
stirring the sleeping buds so that
when brought out into the light they
will be able to commence active
growth. OF course the method is one
often followed by florists when they
wish to revive dropping flowers.
1t Is just as well to leave the
branches in the dark cupboard for
twenty-four hours, although naturally
the water will have become cold long
before this interval has elapsed, but
this does not matter. 1t Is a question
for the individual to decide whether
the boughs shall be grown to perfec-
ton In the vases or whether they shall
only be placed in the ornamental re-
ceptacles after they have fully devel-
oped. Some people do not find the
'leafiess branches inartistic and these
are, of course, soon adorned with ex-
panding buds which give a delightful
spring" feeling to the apartment.
Which ever course is adopted the
boughs should be placed at once in
pure water which 1t Is necessary
should be kept in a fresh condition.
To this end 1t is not a bad plan to
place lump of charcoal In each vase
or bowl, or change the water every
day. 1t is now desirable that the
branches should be placed in fully
light position, If possible in front of a
window where they will get all the
sunshine.
The speed of growth will be entire
ly dependent upon the warmth Of the
room; II the temperature is high the
buds will commence to swell very rap
idly. Soon the expanding flowers and
leaves will be plainly visible and at
this stage dust is harmful to the young
growth.
If possible, the boughs should be
protected when any sweeping is going
on in the apartment, and in any case
the shoots will be benefited If they
are sprinkled occasionally with luke
warm water. 1t should be pointed out
in conclusion, however, that the direc-
tions emphasized in the foregoing
lines should be followed II the best
results are desired.

Removing Bark.

and blossom. The purpose Of the
present method is to initiate as near
ly as possible this natural process in
mid-winter at which time the fresh
growth will have special value.
Nowadays when Towering trees and
shrubs are so common in our gardens
there will be no difficulty in finding
subjects for treatment. All the crna-
mental plums, apples, cherries and
currants, to mention only four kinds
are perfectly adapted, whilst the wild
species of these fruits which are to
be found in the hedge-rows may be
made equally useful. Bright green
foliage Is always very acceptable and
branches Of trees with large buds,
such as. chestnuts and sycamores, may
be included in the collection.
The season Of the year when the
system may be most successfully prac.
ticed is during the months of January
and February. Strange as 1t may
seem, the buds always expand more
readily If they have been subjected to
week or two Of frost, 30 during a
spell of severe weather is good time
to secure the boughs. It is, OF course,
matter OF Importance to be able to
select the boughs OF the trees which
are we'll budded for blossom. Mostly
the flower buds will be fatter than
those producing only foliage.
In cutting the branches from the
trees 1t is matter of some Importance
to make a clean severance, seeing
that torn or ragged fractures prevent
a free development on the part OF the
twigs. The most shapely branches
should be- selected and all along 1t
should be borne in mind that the
sprays are to be used in vases for
decorative purposes. In order to en-
able the boughs to absorb water as
freely as possible 1t is a good plan to
remove some Of the bark on the lower
portion OF the stem. This is best cut

Fannlnq Mill for Seed.

You should never fail to use a good
tanning mill, selecting only the heav-
lest and plumpest kernels Of good body
for sowing, and avoid planting shriv.
eled and warped kernels.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye seed
may be best prepared by tanning
mills, which separate by size and by
weight by means of screens and wind
blast. A good tanning mill properly
used, will more than pay for itself in a
single season.

To the gardener, the cold months of
the year must always mean a cessa-
ton In the active work of plant cul-
ture. Any scheme which will enable
the enthusiast to pursue his pastime
during the winter Is sure of a well
come. The new method Of bringing
the branches of trees and of shrubs
Into flower at this time, is one which
promises to make valuable addition
to the resources of the indoor gar
dener. It's very simplicity must ap-
peal to everyone, while the decorative
possibilities of the system cannot fail
to attract all flower admirers.
In order to understand the purpose
or the treatment the consideration of
few natural science points may not
be out of place. 1t is we'll known to
botanists that all deciduous trees and
shrubs bring their next seasons
growth to very advanced stage dur
ing the fall Indeed, all leaves and
flowers are quite ready for the spring
folded up on a very small scale be-
meath the protecting bud cases. Now
the resumption of growth, when It
does take place, is largely due to the
fact that the plant starts to draw wa
ter from the soil and the fluid rising
to the buds swell out the undeveloped
tissue and the tree comes into foliage

These are charming for holding

celery, cucumbers cut in cubes, minc-

elect. Choose fine, smooth tomatoes,
not too large, and as nearly one size
as possible; dip for half a minute in
boiling water, then skin and set in
icebox to chill; cut generous slice
from the top Of each, scoop out pulp
and seeds, dress the cavity with salt,
pepper, oil. vinegar, then fill with the
salad, seasoned with French dressing
or mayonnaise. Handles Of water
cress may be attached to these orna-
