SWEET PEPPER IS
MOST PALATABLE
No Vegetable Produces More
Table Enjoyment if Given
Little Care and Study.

Your garden ought to be well sup
piled with that most palatable veg
etable, the sweet pepper. Many peo-
pie imagine that all peppers are too
hot to be eaten with comfort but
this is a great mistake. The only
hot portions are the seeds, and they
can be removed before the cooking.
Green peppers are cooked in vari-
ETY. of ways and there is no vege-
table that produces more table enjoy
ment than these vegetables, If lit
tie study and care are given to their
growth and preparation for the ta-
ble
Perhaps the earliest variety is the
Neapolitan. If wellgrown plants are
set out early they will produce fine
fruit in June. The fruit first turns to
a light yellow and then to a brilliant
scarlet.
The Ruby King. the Bull Nose. or
Sweet Bell are fine peppers. They are
blunt-nosed. round, and about two or
three inches long. The Ruby King is
little larger than the Bull Nose and
Its flesh is very mild and sweet. These
plants grow about three feet high,
and are not easily blown down.
The largest variety is the Chinese
Giant. The flesh is thick and sweet.
and can be eaten raw.
Peppers require rather light, we'll

growing from the start If growth is
checked by cold weather or lack of
moisture. they will not mature well.
When the plants show two or three

transplant when all danger of frost is
past and in fact not until the
weather becomes quite warm. Place

Finally the large elephant was

sounded to bring in the bull. AS the

seated on fence stuck a banderillo
into his back to anger him. He was
good-sized animal, with rather short
and sharp horns. He ran around the
ring once or twice and finally saw the
elephant, and stood stock still, sizing
up Mr.. Elephant. The elephant also
saw Mr.. Bull at this time and they
both stood staring at one another.

Paris.-The wonderful depot OF lost
articles. which for thirty years had
its temporary headquarters at the Pre-
lecture of Police. is about to be re-
moved to the Caserne de la Cite. with
its stocks of 100000 heterogeneous arti-
cles. According to these figures, one
out of thirty adult Parisians loses
something every day, and the police
depot was really growing too small.
There is story OF one particularly

are not told how many times she lost
it after that.

to tell are scarcely less amusing

Curing Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may
be sick and infect other timbers. which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting great weights in a
new building. Some of the diseases are
so contagious that in a building they
will jump several feet across masonry
or brick to some stick of healthy wood.
Cures have been discussed by the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers. Most of the diseases are va
rieties of dry rot caused by fungus.
and most of the varieties Of the dry rot
fungi cannot stand heat much over 100
degrees. so the most likely cure is to
close a building up tight, if any beams
are infected. and heat it up to 100 or
40 degrees. Even this is not always
successful. for ends of beams are bur-
led in the outer brick walls. and the
heat may not reach them.-Exchange.
