the waters rose.
when I looked down at last

Then the hurricane broke. It
came out of the northeast, an icy,
whipping blast, an eighty-mile

The ropes binding Our bodies
to the mast seemed as II they
were going to part every minute.
The wind dashed our bodies like
whips. Our clothing was torn.
Our naked bodies bruised and cut
by the ropes and the pounding
against the masts.

room without any heavy clothes.
The wind whipped him naked in

THE HOLLYHOCK- FLIRT.

Then there is the hollyhock-
worst tiirt out! One never knows
what to expect of it, except that it
will always jauntily throw up it's
banner spikes of bloom and look
brightly and smillngly at you. 1t is
a stately coquette, it is pretty and
wilful. 1t won't grow in the place
you carefully transplant it, and posi-
lively refuses to allow it's seeds to
terminate in the spot of your choice,
but wantonly throws them about in
the most undesirable places, and
fiourshes its coarse green leaves from
the most impossible locations. De-
pend upon it? Not much! After you
have carefully purchased or saved the
seeds from the most double of bloom,
and sowed them in fear and tremb bling,
watched and protected them for a
year, they will calmly open their
flowers and stand there. unblushingly,
and look you in the eyes, frowned
with single petaled bloom! OF all
the beautiful, coquettish, tantalizing
flowers, the double hollyhock is queen!

from opposite sides. The chimney
may be of brick or of the cement
block type. 1t should stand inside
the room for conserving the heat as
much as possible. The pipes may be
common stove pipes, but are better if
brick fiues or sewer piping as they
will assist also in holding and dis
tributing heat when the fire is low at
night. Soft coal can be used If
desired in these make shift heaters.
The side benches should be about
three feet wide and of height to just
come under the side glass sill. The
center bench around which the two
foot aisles go should be six feet wide.
Cedar posts set deep in the ground
support these benches. Common inch
lumber is used for sides and floors
resting on stout cross strips spiked
to these posts. Side boards are ten
inches high. Two inches of good,
fresh horse manure is put in the
bottom and then it should be filed to
within two inches of the top with a
good rich pasture soil of sandy loan
nature. Through this is thoroughly
mixed another two inches we'll rotted
horse or COW manure, or if at hand,
sheep manure. When you force
plants you must feed tremendously.
Rotted sods make an ideal hberous
soil for this work, and after getting
we'll under way, a stack or broad fiat
heap, rather of these sods should
always be in preparation. Soil in
benches should be thrown out every
second year. A few bushels of good
sharp sand worked in through the soil
is help to drainage, and keeps the
soil from packing. Before putting in
the middle bench two AKA posts should
be set under the ridge piece, properly
spaced. There should be door or
window in the outer end of the house
to assist in ventilation in very hot
weather.
