Growing Tomatoes.

The middle Of May finds most OF
the tomato plants In the garden. The
man who was wise enough to grow
his own plants in hot bed will have
ripe fruit quite long while before his
neighbor. who has to depend upon
half.dried. discouraged seedlings from
department store,
Still, by insisting upon getting the
best plants you can buy, big sturdy
fellows. with lots of leaves and roots
full Of water you can do very well
with purchased tomato plants. Do
not secure them until you are all
ready to plant and get them In the
ground as soon as possible.
AS usually handled. the amateur
gardener gets a double crop OF foliage
and half crop of ripe tomatoes, The
fruit splits. rots at the ends and a
large part Of 1t fails to color up and
ripen before frost catches II.
The purpose Of this article Is to tell
how to avoid these troubles and Sc
cure twice AZ much ripe, sound fruit
with no more trouble, II is a simple
secret, but few seem to know It.
Tomatoes need rich, deep. rather
heavy soil, well fertilized. Muriate
of potash Is an excellent fertilizer, az
is also steamed ground bone. Use n
handful to each pint.
Spade and cultivate as for garden
crop and drive in strong stakes about
Ave feet long, placing them two feet
by four feet Set one plant four inches
from the south side of each stake
covering the roots firmly and soaking
the soil with water after setting
Allow only three branches to grow
on each plant. and tie them to the
stake with strips OF cloth When they
reach the top of the stake, prune
them back. II a smaller quantity OF
the very finest and largest tomatoes
are preferred, allow but one main
stem to develop. Keep the branch
ends clipped as soon as the plant has
attained good size, and all of it's en-
ergy will then go into making toma
toes.
Now comes the secret! Where a
side branch leaves the main stem is q
fork In which the fruit develops. In
same place little shoots appear. Pinch
out these shoots as fast as they grow
and you cannot fail to get magnificent
tomatoes. Do not plant one Of the
tree varieties, but select smooth
even, meaty type like Matchless
Stone, and many others Of their kind

MAUNDY THURSDAY.
An Ugly Term What it Comes From
and What Il Means.

As the eve of Good Friday draws
near one hears q good deal OF Maundy
Thursday and wonders where such an
uulv term comes from and what il
means. II is borrowed from England
and from a very early English word
meaning basket, maund and maundy
having come 20 signify articles
given in charity or from kindness.
From very early times che day
before Good Friday has been marked
By acts Of humility and love on the
part Of those in high position for Tire
lowly, in memory Of the Saviour's
aet ia washing the feet of His fol-
lowers, aud serving as a srvant those
who were unworthy TO unlatch His
shoe. Sovereigns, princes, ecclesi-
astics, laymen Of high degree, for
hundreds OF years thought it fitting
to their churchly profession to lay
aside personal dignity on this coca
sion and c0ndeseend u the menial act
of washing the feet Of paupers.
There is a story told of Cardinal
Woolsey, at the age OF fifty-eight,
making a Maund at which service the
dainty prelate washed and kissed the
feet of fiity-uine old men. II seems
the habit to choose one more pauper
than the years of ones life one to
grow on as the children say. In ad-
dition to the foot bath and kiss, which
must have been something of an in
Fiction to he washed and kissed, pres
ents Of shoes, cloth for shirts, a red
and two white herrings and a purse
of gold were bestowed on each poor
creature, and they were verify sent on
their way rejoicing.
This custom still obtains in some
OF the Catholic courts of Europe, but
the service is not as elaborate as
when Queen Elizabeth knelt before
her poor subjects and bathed and kiss
ed them. She was a naughty lady,
and it must have been great trial
of faith on her part to bend the
knee. She was quite esthetic about
the whole performance, as the story
of the celebration of the day at her
palace at Greenwich in her thirty
ninth wear, seems to indicate. The
| Queen was attended by thirty-nine
| ladies and gentlemen misery loves
company, and and an audience and
thirty-nine victims.
These latter were first scrubbed in
the royal presence by the yoemen OF
the laundry with warm water and
sweet herbs. Then they were pass
ed along to the subalmoner for q
repetition Of the ordeal Of washing,
then to the Queen herself. Al
every washing the sign of the cross
was made on each foot, and each
was kisses. If acts of kindness are
never lost. this old palace, now the
home of the worn and sick sailors OF
the British Navy, should still be sane
titled by this humility of a powerful
queen.
| Royalty finally got tired of service
to the lowly and each reign saw les;
of ceremony until, in process of time
food and gifts, and finally only money
was bestowed on Maundy Thursday
So general became the gift of money
on the part of English royalty that
coins were specially minted for the
occasion and now that personal com
fort has replaced acts of early piety,

taken the place of largess to the in
