MAKING SUCCESS

Each Individual Should Work Out

By BESSIE l.. PUTNAM,

Said a successful farmer recently,
Il have lots of nice apples, and | be-
lieve that my success is largely due
TO the fact that | do not neglect to
feed my trees. There is Blank with a
large orchard next to mine But his
soil has run out, and now he wants
to buy the fruit from two or three of
my trees"
This man had his own ideas, too
about the renewing of the soil De
testing the nuisance of corn stalks in
the stable, he used the orchard for
feeding ground in the late fall, and the
result was that the added fertilizing
element keeps the ground in good
condition.

matter. Look at the nice crop of rag.

careful snd observing a man had al
lowed the weed crop to mature But
he assures us that when about to cut
it he hesitated, fearing that the stalks
would pierce any apples which
CHANGED to fall. And now at picking
time he finds that the weeds act as
cushion, protecting the falling fruit
and rendering it scarcely less perfect
than that which is hand picked

Marques of Sligo in Indian Mutiny
Lord Altamont, who through the
death of his aged father. the other
day, has become marques of Sligo,
was through the Indian mutiny. His
father, who was in the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutiny broke out.
Lord Slgos wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques,
were sent for safety to a place which
was surrounded by rebels for a fort
night. The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as a ruse to pass him off as her
own son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents, who meantime had to 60

The new marques recently celebrated

land, but he sent his wife a telegram

Those wishing a succession of cut
flowers through the summer cannot do
better than to rely upon some of the
ANNALS. A ten-cent package of seed
will supply a single variety in profu-
sion, and they are for the most part
easily grown.
The leader for this purpose is with
out question the sweet pea. Its beau
tiful form, exquisite colors and delight
full fragrance are sufficient to gain for
1t place on all occasions. The long
stems render it graceful for vases,
and the flowers are less perishable in
nature than many other species.
Plant as early as possible. Most
seeds are best in the packet until the
ground is warm and dry; but sweet
peas must be planted as soon as pos
sible. Do not wait for pleasant
weather, or you will wait in vain for
blossoms. Plant them when you plant
your earliest garden peas
A rich loan well fortified is the
best soil. Dig a trench six inches
deep and plant the seeds two inches
apart in a Zigzag line covering with
an inch of soil pressed firmly down.
1t is better to place the support now,
though it may be given later but can
not so easily be placed firmly Wire
netting is the best support. though
common brush will serve the purpose.
AS the plants grow, gradually draw
the soil about the roots until the
trench is filled This gives a deep
root system, rendering the plants able
to resist drouth
A weekly draught of liquid manure
will help to keep them growing vigor-
ously.
Keep the blossoms closely clipped.
Pick the freshly opened flowers daily.

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered AROUND Humble House
hold Implement.

During the reign of James l., the
metal pins came into fashion. In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invsCted by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuel
Wright, of Massachusetts, to patent
in 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
it was regarded as a charm against,
and also as an implement of witch
craft. Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
zion that a toad pierced with pins
you'd cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet a priest on leaving
house-a state OF affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and in Iceland if a man is
suspecting of walking after death,
pins and needles are thrust into the
feet of the corpse.
Readers of Romance will remember
how people were believed to be be-
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
gies of them. Even today in the back
country a favorite charm" to make
the cream chum into butter is the
dropping of hot pins into it.

A rather pretentious house of very
pleasing design is shown in the cuts.
There are many new features about
this house that are likely to become
popular.
The idea of placing the stairway in
the center or near the center of the
house is a good one and l am pleased
to note that the people generally APP
prove of it because l feel that it is a
sensible improvement in house build
ing In this plan the stairway is
quite an innovation. While you start
up from almost the exact center of
the house the most of the space oc-
cupied by the stair is against the
back wall, the least valuable space in
the house
The stair itself is what you might
call a three way combination stair.
Besides the main stairway there is a
separate back stair from the kitchen
leading up ten steps to meet on
landing. This landing is high enough
to give head room for passageway
across under it leading from the
kitchen to the reception hall. This
gets back in a sensible way to the
old idea of connecting the kitchen
with the front door without being
obliged to pass through the dining
room. This passage way also gives
access to the cellar stair, which is
placed under the back stair. In this
passage way also is the opening to
the coat closet under the front stair.
Then from the landing up we have
but one pair of steps and this is all
that is necessary. By this arrange
ment every foot of space is made use
of for some good purpose. The room
ordinarily required to carry the back
stair to the upper floor is saved and
there is no corresponding objection
1t would be hard to find fault with
the arrangement in any particular

Old Pie Shops Disappearing.

With the decline of the la mode
beef shop in London one notes also
the disappearance of most of the old
fashioned pie shops, such as the ia
nous eel-pie shop in Fleet street that
the youthful fancy of the writer al
ways associated with the story of
Sweeney Todd, "the demon barber"
The itinerant vender of sleeps trot-
ters has also almost disappeared, as
well as the seller of sandwiches at the
doors of theaters, while the peripatetic
pie has quite vanished from the
streets. In their place we have the
all-conquering but malodorous fried
fish shop, which has multiplied four
fold during the last twenty years.
