"DELlCACIES" At THE FRONT
Hindu Troops Have Partially for
Danties That Seem Peculiar
to Western Senses.

A Native Indian writer, a Mr.. Mira,
in letter to an English newspaper,
tells Of the kind Of delicacies that the
British Indian troops at the front par
ticularly enjoy. The principal things
are ghee. areca nut, betel and Indian
tobacco.
To English readers. says the Man
chester Guardian, ghee will be the
most mysterious of these commodi-
ties. 1t is a kind of clarified butter,
made from curdled milk-in India
usually from buffalo milk. The
curdled milk is churned into butter;
then the butter stands for a few days
until it begins to turn rancid. Then
1t is boiled, and seasoned with dhye-
whatever that is-salt or the leaf of
the betel. which is a kind of pepper
plant Indians like 1t, but Europeans
seldom do. because it is so ripe" that
it is virtually rancid.
As most people know, the Hindus
use the areca nut as a kind of chew
ing gum. They chew it with betel
leaf and a little shell lime. The nut
is astringent and bitter, but it does
not seem to have any particular effect
on the user The betel leaf adds .
peppery flavor to the combination

THE PERENNIAL FLOWER BED
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL

Last month we talked about the
hardy bulbs. This month we are 60
ing to make a flower border of peren-
NAL plants, plants which SOW their
own seed and of plants that are bien-
malls, and we are going to buy or beg
them all.
Suppose we have a border from
twenty to forty feet in length and from
six to fifteen feet in depth. Or to fit
our estates" our border can be made
much larger or very much smaller.
A border planted by woman should
not be over twenty by eight feet in
size, for if she did all the work ex-
cept the heavy digging, it might not
be possible for her to give a larger
one the right and necessary care.
Such border should run north and
south, and if possible, face the east.
The background may be of hollyhocks,
both single and double, golden-gIow,
the single tiger lily, the ever bloom
ing flame flower, the tall meadow-rue,
and tall meadow-sweet, set out alter
nately.
Then in front of these and at least
two feet from them we will set out
the pearl echilIea, some of the column
bines, the choice Of which are cana
densis, chrysantha, chrysantha alba,
carulia hybrida, skinner, and Cali
fornica hybrida

THE GALA AND ITS CULTURE
BY BESSIE /. PUTNAM.

Rich soil, moisture, warmth, and
sunshine are the key notes co success
with the Gala. 1t can-yes-must be
made to bloom in winter without much
sunshine If the other essentials are
supplied
If wanted for winter blooming it is
best to let it rest in summer, turning
the pot on its side, in some out of the
way corner. Repot in September, fill
and food.
Over this put layer of manure well
rotted, and finish with a rich compost.
Water cparingly until growth com
mences, and then the water can hardly
be supplied too freely.
Always use warm water The roots
will enjoy it quite hot, but this is
death to the stem. Some place a ring
of tin around the base of the stem,
pressing it down an inch into the
soil. With this protection the hot
Eater can be freely used.
Bottom heat may also be supplied
by placing the pot on hot brick. By
keeping pair of bricks for this pur-
pose and alternating every u hours
the buds can be forced more freely.
Give liquid manure once or twice a
week, gradually increasing the dose as
the plant seems to thrive.
Rout the red spider by spraying
with cold water, and the scale with
soapsuds.
When two leaves appear successive
ly from the same stalk, watch for a
bud next. Others will succeed it
through the winter if the treatment
outlined is adhered to. Bottom heat,
moisture, and all the sunshine posi-
BILE are the best incentives to growth.

drangea paniculata grandiioTa would
be very pretty, and to continue the
row, hardy pompon chrysanthemums,
the several blue varieties of larkspurs,
moon penny daisies, Shasta daisies,
fox gloves sweet williams, coreopsis,
lanceolata grandifora and an almost
double variety, called "the golden
fleece"
Nicotina afinis can be planted in
this row early next spring and from
year to year it will SOW its own seed
and will come up so close to where
the old plants grew that it will not
often need transplanting.
Then we will have the hardy gail
lardia, gysophila paniculata, or baby's
breath, lavender, Lychnis, rose cam
pion, monarda didyma splendens, al
so called the bee balm and robin run
away, the Chinese bell flower, the
hardy perennial poppies and the gar
den heliotrope.
A double border we will make of
two heights of plants, setting the tall
eT ones a little back of the very low
ones. The snap dragon, the double
anemOne, the mullen pink, the sea
pink, English daisies, the harebell,
Canterbury bells, the hardy double
and single pinks, the polyanthus, the
hardy primroses and the English COW
slips all will help to make our hardy
flower bed a thing of beauty and a
joy forever
The earth for a perennial border
should be light and porous. Never
try to raise flowers in soggy, wet soil,
AS soon as the plants are we'll rooted
have forkful of well-decayed stable
manure spaded in we'll around each
plant unless they are very small
plants, then use your own good judg-
ment.
Just before freezing weather a
mulch two or three inches deep of
stable manure should be. spread over
the bed a little heavier about each
plant, and if the plants have any
spooky branches they should all be
trimmed back quite close

KEEPING UP THE LAWN

Kill weeds on the lawn by either
pulling or cutting off the plant below
the crown.
Don't NOW the lawn too closely
during the heated term; but do not
allow weeds to go to seed.
Deep working, thorough pulveriZa-
ton, effective fertilization and a
thorough raking and rolling down to
a smooth level are all necessary to a
smooth, level lawn.
Get your lawn seeds of a reliable
scotsman, and ask for the best and
the freshest. Don't use old seed left
over from last year, but insist on hav-
ing it fresh, and of good mixture.
The best time to seed a lawn is
during the latter part of August or
the early part of September. At that
season, the heat is over and showers
are almost sure to come, and the
young grass will have several months

could not foresee. But it was certain
that it was heading direct for earth
The news was confirmed from the
European observatories. And soon the
monster began to be visible in the
sky, a hundred thousand million miles
away, like a little moon.
All over the land prayers went up
to heaven. The rich prayed to be per-
mitted to live, to enjoy their wealth.
The poor forgot their misery and
prayed to live a little longer. But a
few men like Hagan were utterly care
less.
For the first time all human beings
will be equal in this world, Mary"
he said, as he sat at his wife's bed
side. 1T will not matter to US"
Mary Hagan answered nothing;
but she, too, prayed. She prayed
that somehow they might find mercy
she and John and every living soul
upon the planet.
BY the beginning of the summer of
2205 the star had visibly increased in
magnitude. There were two moons
in the heavens now. The monster,
which was named Og, after the fabu-
lous king Of Bashan, was no more than
forty thousand million miles away.
And still it was heading toward
earth. Nothing could save the
world, said Professor Joram. He
indited these words after making an
application for an increase of salary.
to take effect on the first day of the
succeeding January. The directors
refused his application, on the ground
that after that date he would, by his
own calculations, have no need for an
increase of salary. Professor Joram,
who was struggling to make both ends
meet on pittance of twenty-five thou
sand, was deeply chagrined. He even
made a private application for a bet
ter-paying position in the University
of Buda-Pesth. Such are the incon-
sistencies of the human mind.
And the splendid object in the skies
waxed in size continually. 1t was
visible by day now, as well as bv
night, huge moon, larger than the
sun, and of silvery whiteness.
When it gets within a thousand
million miles of US. at the beginning
of December, the heat will be con-
siderably increased" wrote Professor
Joram. Therefore it is safe to say
that we shall never have another win
ter. We shall have milde- summer.
a second summer in spring, and next
summer will mean the beginning of
the end"
