A gasp of astonishment went
out from those who had gathered

made in spite of recommendation
Of the jury that jail sentence be-

The case was given to tho Jury
lat noon today, and last evening at
1880 they reported that they
were unable to agree, and asked
for more instructions, and what

UNUSUAL SUCCESS
IN RAISING PLANTS
BeefSteak Fed Occasionally to
Ferns and Palms Brings
Good Results.
AN ALICE MAY noUGLAsl

A friend who has unusual success
in raising ferns and palms has given
me her secret, She feeds them beef
steak occasionally About every six
weeks she plants a bit of raw meat
close to the roots and it is literally
eaten up.
Some Of our potted ferns were droop-
ing SO FASTENED to try the new plant
food A single dose of the steak
brought them back to health and their
growth since has been surprising
Then in pure curiosity experimental
with some outdoor ferns last summer,
and after a few weeks | dug up the
place to see how the meat and plant
were getting on together. / found
the decaying steak literally cluched
by innumerable roots that had en-
twined themselves about it like so
much wire. How hungry they
seemed.
1t is said to be a common thing
for people living along the gulf coast
to feed oysters to their ferns and
palms This would be somewhat ex-
pensive for us poor inland people,
but they frequently buy a load of
shell-flsh as we buy coal. simply dump
ing them in pile in the back yard
and keeping them alive by occasional
dousing with salt water.
Watering the plants with unsalted
beef tea has also been successfully
tried by my neighbor Hearing these
things, How little we know of our
house-mates, the fern family! Who
would have dreamed that they, too,
have carniverous tastes? Could they
have caught it dwelling so near our
dining tables"
