Watermelons.

Every home can have its own water
melon patch, and the gardener who has
not tried growing this delicious fruit
would do well to prepare for it next year
The seed are usually started in hot
beds. Use strawberry boxes. thrusting
into box of soil twenty seed. pointed
end first. When ready for transplanting,
the box can be removed from the plant
and the plant dropped into the hole with
out the roots being disturbed.
1t is well to use some quick fertilizer.
so the young plants can get an early
start. The hills should be about ten feet
apart each way, but some of the smaller
varieties may be plante~ as close six
by eight.
While the common watermelon is of
use only for eating raw. there is firm
hard-fleshed variety which is used for
making preserves. AS it is used for the
same purpose as citron, it is known a
the citron melon. 1t comes true to seeC
and can be grown by any gardener.
Muskmelons thrive best in light soil
They are started and planted like the
watermelons, except that hills should be
four to six feet apart each way, with
two or three plants in each hill. There
is so much loss from insects that two
or three times the number of plants
actually needed must be set out.

HINTS FOR THE GARDEN.
Seeds to Sow in Midsummer.

The gardener who wishes to have pansy
plants for blossoming early next summer
should prepare this year by sowing seed
in August or September. Transplant the
seedlings to cold frames with good soil
and allow them to remain in the open air
until winter when they should be pro-
tected with glass and boards. They must
be given some ventilation at favorable
times during the winter. The plants will
start early in the spring and may be
transplanted from the cold frames as soon
as the danger of frost is over and will
blossom Immediately.
Other plants which may be started to
advantage in the summer are hollyhocks,
larkspur, columbines. Canterbury bells
and perennial peoples.
They may be kept through the winter
without cold frames by having the seed
bed rais.d so as to insure perfect drain
age and by mulching the plants with
coarse litter just before cold weather
sets in. In the spring they may be trans
planted to their permanent places early
and will blossom the same season.

Historic Hart Street.
From the London Chronicle.

fFon the LONDON IhroncIe.
Hart street, which Criticized Friars
wants to absorb, is justified by its his
torical associations in wishing to preserve
a separate identity. For in Hart street
there formerly stood the mansion of no
less person than Sir Richard Whiting
ton, lord mayor of London and lover of
cats. The Church of st. Olave here also
has its associations. Pepys lies buried
there in a vault of his own making, and
it's register contains the baptism OF Rob-
ert Devereux. Earl of Essex, the parlia-
mentary general.

The Madonna Lily.

Remember to start the coming August
bulbs of the Madonna lily, beautiful
plant which should adorn every garden
1t is not generally grown. perhaps. be-
cause of the necessity of starting the
bulbs in the late summer.
The soil should be fairly good, inclined
to dampness, hut well drained. The
ground should be worked over a foot
deep and If it is poor manure should be
worked in below where the bulbs are to
be placed. The bulbs should not come
In contact with the manure.
The bulbs should be planted at least
four inches deep, and the bed may then
be covered with a light layer of manure
Considerable growth will be made in the
fall, and the following spring or early
summer will produce beautiful fragrant
white flowers on stalks three or four feet
in height.
After Towering the plant dies to the
ground and remains dormant until be-
ginning its new growth late in the sum-
mer. An established clump should not
be disturbed until the plants begin to
show signs of weakness or disease. This
condition may not develop for many
years, and when it does another clump
should be started in new location.

FAMOUS AVIATOR ID FLY AT STATE FAIR MOrOk Aviators Have Been Engaged by the Fair
 Management

The Alabama State Fair has just completed arrangements with one of the foremost. aeroplane companies for performances here during the fair this fall. The Morok company, composing five aviators, headed by the wonder ful Morok himself, will make daily flights, some days carrying passengers.
 Prominent also In this company is the famous St. Yves, Frenchman, and one of the leaders of his profession. st. Yves is noted for his altitude rec ords and swift sensational flights.
 Morok, the head of the company, is an unique character. When but kid he came to this country as a trick bicycle rider. It was then that the bfcycle had just been introduced and for one to risk himself astride one of these "tarnal" things was considered mere foolishness. Then the "loop-the- loop" craze struck the country and in this Morok saw more chances to lose his life So he gave up his bicycle and went in for 1ooping-the-loop, But the loops then constructed did not suit his fancy. so he built one just for himself and gave trial perform ance for r. T. Barnum and was en- gagged on the spot for that famous circus, Barnum'& Bailey. He travelled with them until aeroplanes were in vented.
 Since then he has been amusing crowds of people every week with his death-defying stunts in the air
 During the entire run of the fair here this fall Morok and St. Yves VIII fly through the clouds
