NO GROUND FOR SCANDAL
Though for a Time the Domestic
Peace of the Deary> Family Was
Seriously Threatened.

A young married woman, whose hus-
band was of an exceedingly jealous
disposition, decided to have her din
Ing room repapered. and telephoned
to the nearest paperhanger to send
one of his men with samples to her
home that afternoon.
Promptly at four o'clock the man
appeared with the usual large sample
book, and Mrs. Newiywed ushered him
into the dining room, as she thought
the paper could best be decided upon
when tried against the wall
No. | don't like that brown, Mr..
Paperhanger. Try the buff she said.
Then, mo, Mr.. Paperhanger, the figure
is too large in that; let me see that
dark blue! Yes, like that, don't you,
Mr.. Paperhanger?"
Yes, madam, that looks very we'll,
but don't call me Mr.. Paperhanger,
that isn't my name"
oh, pardon me, but what is your
name?' Mrs. Newlywed asked.
My name is Love-" the paperhang-
er answered, when Mrs Newlywed be-
gan to laugh
Yes, Love-" the paperhanger re-
peated, somewhat nettled by the
ladys laughter Then she Strengthened
ner face and was about to speak.
when her husband strobe into the
room, with fire in his eyes.
Get out of here, you infamous ras-
CALI he Numbered, shaking his fist
IN the paperhanger's face Get out

What's the matter with your" the
paperhanger snarled. What have |
done?"
Done? Ask me what you have
done! Here l just come home from a
hard days work and find you making
love to my wife, and then you ask me
what you have dore!"
Why, man, you're crazyt Why
should make love to your wife when
l have one of my own? Your wife
asked me what my name was, and 1
told her. w. E. Love. Now what
have you to say?" and the paperhang-
er Strengthened up ready for what
might happen next, when Mrs. Newly
wed said: ooh, Harry, don't act SOL
The man is telling the truth and l
was laughing when you came in at
the idea of having Love and Deary I'M
der the same roof"
This time the paperhanger looked
mystified, when Mrs. Newlywed ex-
planned: Our name is Deary, MIR.
Love; this is my husband, H. o.
Deary!"
Needlessly to say Mr. Deary looked
very much ashamed of himself, and
Mr.. Love is now debating whether he

rine consists Of steel sphere, eight
feet in diameter and capable of carry
ing two workmen. 1t is designed to
be lowered into the water from ten
der, but IS provided with electrically
driven propellers by which it can be
moved about in the water as it hangs
at the end of the cable. One Of its
essential features is a set of four cleo
tro-magnets, which, when energized
by current from the motors within the
sphere, serve to hold it securely to
the steel hull of a sunken ship. Cur
rent for the operation is supplied
through cable running down from
the tender. In addition to this equip
ment it will be provided with electric
drills for piercing the side of the ship,
and with powerful searchlight for
working purposes and for exploring
the bed Of the ocean when the exact
location of a sunken ship is not
known.

Afire in the SkvI

With flames shooting up to height
Of so feet, a Paris aeroplane on pa
troll duty dived to earth just at night
fall recently
The passenger threw himself from
the machine, falling ten feet on to the
roof of a house. The pilot, Benoit,
came down with the machine, but was
burned to death before he could be
rescued. Thousands of people wit
messed the accident, which occurred
over the densely-populated quarter of
Vanguard. The machine took fire at
a height of $50 feet. 1t was then a
mile from the Issy aerodrome. With
remarkable GOODNESS Benoit attempt
ed to volplane into the Issy ground,
but was not high enough.
He managed, however, to swing the
blazing machine down to the waste
land close by, the aeroplane narrow
ly missing the roofs of the houses
and signal posts on the railroad as it
dived earthwards amidst the cries of
the Mortified onlookers.

PopuIarizinq the Deserts.

On Thanksgiving day in 1913 many
citizens of Phoenix, Ariz, ate their
holiday dinners far out on the desert
They went out in automobiles, carry

and they enjoyed their feast beneath
a wonderful sky of green and purple
Automobiles have made the deserts
accessible. F. H. Newell writes in the
Youths Companion Until recently
you could not travel over such dreary
wastes at rate of more than 80 miles
a day, and you had to carry water for
man and beast; but now, in motor
car, you can run 200 miles a day on
the desert in almost any direction you
choose, for the ground is ordinarily
so fiat and smooth that roads are al.
most unnecessary.

Niuhtmare.

Who among us has not at some time
suddenly awakened with a sense of
terror and anxiety, in cold sweat,
and with rapid heart beat? One may
dream of suffocation, or think he is
being nailed down in coffin. Perhaps
as one is falling asleep, he awakes
each time with a momentary vivid
dream of being pursued, OF choking, of
being unable to breathe. What pro-
duces the nightmare? The censor was
weak; certain latent dream thoughts
and emotions have succeeded in es-
Gaping it's vigilance. Such dreams are
continual disturbers of sleep and lead
to insomnia, because the subconscious
depressed emotions are continually es-
Gaping the censor with disguise or
fusion, and so lead to a state of con-
slant mortal anxiety in the mind of
the sleeper.

THE MODERN GLADl0LUS
BY GEORGE S. WOODRUFF.

Everybody knows the gladiolus-in
a way. 1t has been called 1.-THE Peo-
pies Flower" because the common
people can get more satisfaction out
of it, without special care or facilities,
than from any other flower. AS cut
flower. nothing but the expensive or
child lasts SO long and no other flower
has such variety and beauty Of color
ing.
Nevertheless, the modern gladiolus
is almost unknown to large majority
of our people, because of the great i'm
provement which has been made in a
comparatively short time.
The gladiolus is propagated by di-
rect multiplication, by cormels and by
seeds. The CORN planted dies at the
end of the season, but produces new
one at the base of each shoot it sends
sup; so that the rapidity of multiplied
ton depends on the number of shoots
sent up.
When the corms are dug in the fall

number of bulblets or "cormels" are
found attached to them. These cormels
produce the same kind as the corms
they are taken from and Towering the
second or third year from planting
rarely the first year.
When seeds are SoWn they will pro-
duce hardly two sorts alike, and many
will be worth keeping, but there may
be some fine new sorts. The seedlings
will flower the second or third year.
It is much more satisfactory to buy
the cream of other peoples seedlings
than to fill the garden with lot of
poor sorts.
Plant in full sunshine, but not
against the south side of a wall, and
away from the roots of trees, in we'll
prepared soil, a mellow, sandy loan
preferred, and one retentive of mois
ture.
Avoid contact with manure, which
should never be fresh and had better
be plowed in the previous season or
in the fall
Occasionally restore potash to the
soil in some form as for potatoes. II
the soil be stiff or clayey put sandy
loan in the furrOw.
Plant in burrows three to five
inches deep, according to the size of
the corms, and the quality of the soil.
and at intervals of, say, two weeks,
from the time the ground will work
up well in July.
By this means and by the differ
ence in earliness of varieties, flowers
may be had from July until hard
frost 1t is most important that the
ground be kept stirred and mellow
at all times, especially as soon after
each rain as the ground will work
well and before crust forms.
Unless you have planted in masses
for landscape effect, cut every stem
as soon as the first two or three flow
ers open and let the buds develop in
water in the house. Every morning
remove the old flowers, shorten the
stems and change the water. Keep
at night in a cool place.
Thus treated the stems will be in
bloom week or more.
If few especially Large flowers are
wanted pinch off some of the top buds
at the start.
Before the ground freezes dig the
bulbs and dry them. Then cut off
the stems, close and store in shallow
baskets or boxes in cool, dry place
Pull off TIE old bulbs and roots when
you have time.

When the boiling point Is reached,
add two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch,
mixed smooth in a little cold milk
and stir into the boiling mixture. Cook
for eight minutes, stirring all the
time. Remove from the heat, cool and
add two tablespoonfuls of strained
lemon juice. Serve well chilled in
bouillon cups.
Partisan Peas. - Melt two table,
spoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add
quart of green peas, mix WE'LL then
pour in enough boiling water to bare
ly cover them. Add salt and pepper
to taste, the heart of a head of let
tuce, finely minced, one-half of an
onion chopped fine, and a sprig of
parsley minced. Simmer until the
peas are tender, then stir in the yolks
Of two well beaten eggs, taking from
the heat. Return to the fire and SIM
mer until ready to serve.
Cheese Balls. Chop fine eight
olives, six radishes, two green pep
pers. Mix with two rolls of Neuf-
chatel cheese and mold into balls the
size of walnut Serve two of these
balls with sailed wafer and piece
of celery on each plate.
Chicken Southern styIe.-Clean and
prepare the fowl as for frying Roll
the pieces in seasoned flour and place
in a heated pan with three tablespoon
fuls Of butter. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper and pour half cupful of
cream over all. Cover and place in a
hot oven to bake until tender Re-
move the cover before taking from
the oven TO brown the chicken. Serve
with a highly seasoned tomato sauce.
One may combine almost any fruit
or vegetable into an appetizing salad,

not pleasing.

in protected place and are ready at
any time they are wanted. A few days
of sunshine and windy weather in
early spring put the mounds of earth
beside the holes in fine shape to put
in around the trees.
The trees may be set out two or
three weeks before the surrounding
soil will do to cultivate
First, strawy manure is tramped six
inches deep in the bottom of the holes,
then about six inches of the top soil
is thrown in, leaving little mound
in the center of the hole upon which
the center or taproot should rest.
The finer or side roots are spread
out around the little mound, more of
the top soil is thrown in and packed
tightly around the roots, filling up all
air spaces and holding them I'm proper
place.
Next, some rotten straw not ma
nure, Is thrown in, then the rest Of
the soil is tramped well around the
trees. I do not use any manure next
to the roots Of the trees. The manure
is scattered around the trees, the
rain takes tbs fertility down to the
roots and the solid matter, while rot
ting serves as a mulch.
The above method, If closely fol
lowed, will take a tree through the
first summer which is the most crit
ical part of the life of tree.
Get them started right The way is
easy. A bad start causes much trou-
BILE and delay.

magnolias in the autumn. Where they
thrive there is nothing more snowy
than the Chinese varieties. The flow

to form. Go carefully over the garden

weed. Will save lots of trouble next
