Giorgio Polacco's brilliancy as reveal

story told by Algernon st. John

one occasion by Milanese agent Offer

Polacco named certain price as re-

to go elsewhere. The next season the
same agent asked Mr.. Polacco his terms
again and for the same city. Mr.. Po-
lacco named them. The agent, acting
with certain celerity, asked Mr.. Po-

done, and Mr.. Polacco took his contract
home to his wife. The latter read II.

DUTCH BULBS FOR
THE FARM HOME
Growing Them Successfully Out OF
Doors.
B. w. ANsPoN,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Hyacinths, tulips and narcissi can
be grown in all parts Of the State
where the temperature drops low
enough to freez the so1 for several
weeks during the winter and are an
addition to the attractiveness Of any
farm home. Although we generally
find them planted IN beds or boards on
the lawn, better effects can be secured
where they are allowed to become
naturalized among the shrubbery or
where they can remain permanently.
Secure your bulbs now. The leading
seed houses show attractive bulb
catalogs giving descriptions and cul-
tural directions for the same. Bulbs
may be planted any time during the
fall, provided the ground is not frozen.
In this State, the latter part of 90
tober is good time for planting. Since
we generally plant bulbs in beds that
are occupied by ANIMALS, it will be
necessary to wait until after the
growth of such plants have been check.
ed by frost. These should be removed
and the bulbs planted. Any well-drain-
ed, light, loany soil will do for bulbs,
but soil that is sandy will give better
results than one which is composed of
clay. In heavy soils it is advisable to
place layer of sand under the bulbs;
in very heavy soils it is best to sur
round the bulbs with sand to insure
drainage. Although rich soils gives
best results, fresh manure should never
come in contact with the bulbs where
the soil does need fertilizer at time OF
planting add only weIl-rotted manure
or compost. Dig up the soil to
depth of s to 10 inches and prepare it
thoroughly. Rake the bed so as to
leave it in rounded shape SO as to
shed water.
Tulips should be planted 4 inches
deep, while hyacinths and narcissi
should be planted 6 inches deep. Be
sure to measure to the top Of the bulb.
In order to secure uniformity in time
Of blooming, it will be necessary to
have bulbs of the same size and to
plant them at uniform depth. After
the ground has become frozen, cover
over the bed or border with several
inches of straw manure. This should
be removed in the spring when danger
of severe freezing is over.

WHEN YOUTH DIES.
Shock of the First Realization That |
One Is Getting Old.

0tVSN Va lIC Euo6 nSdh&0@sOb hhaS
One Is Getting Old.
The moment when one first feels
acutely that he is no longer young is
bound to make one pause in something
akin to CONSERVATION. For vividness it
is like a flash Of lightning across a
black sky. Life no longer is all before
one; even, more dreadful thought, it
may be mostly behind.
After the first keen realization there
follows bewildered state Of mind due
to unwillingness- yes, to an actual puz-
zled inability to accept the truth. With
all the agony of the startled call Of a
child at night the heart cries out, "It
cannot be; it is not so.,
Youth dies hard and fights and strug-
giles in its dying like an imprisoned
bird. Others, even those near and dear,
are older, are even old; we can see that.
But how can the stubborn facts be
true as to ourselves? Very gradually,
little by little, fighting its way inch by
inch, the truth prevails and gnaws at
the heart-though only intermittently,
of course until time numbs this emo
ton as it does every other one.-Robert
L. Raymond in Atlantic Monthly.

Circles are things in which people
move and reason.
Those who move in circles imagine
that they make the world go round,
and those who reason in circles are pos
tive Of it. However, wheel Is really
the only thing that can move in a cir
Gle and get anywhere.
The periphery Of the face makes a
circle, every part Of which is equally
distant from point within, called the
scenter.
Society has circles, especially under
its eyes. Those who move In social
circles move because they are so un-
easy they cannot keep still.
Marital jars and connubial pugilism
influence the belief that the family cir
Gle might freauently be termed a ring

tie Remnants Are Believed to Stand
Near BabyIon's Ruins.
It is doubtful If there is any place
In the world so rich in ancient remains
as the valley of the Euphrates, in
Mesopotamia The result is that to
archaeologists and scholars the place
is a veritable "Tom Tiddler's ground" /"
and new finds" are constantly being
reported.
When it is remembered that tradi-
ton places the site of the Garden of
Eden here, while among its many
ruins are those OF ancient Babylon, the
promising nature Of the valley to the
scientific excavator becomes apparent.
It is near the ruins Of Babylon that
we find what many scholars believe to
be the remains of the tower Of Babel
an immense cube of brickwork, called
by the natives Birs Nimrud.
Recent exhaustive examination Of
the strange pile and its site has reveal
ed the fact that the tower that once
stood here consisted Of seven stages Of
brickwork on an earthen platform, each
being of different color.
The tower boasted Of a base meas
urement of nearly 600 square feet and
rose to an unknown height. Even to-
day the ruins rise some, 100 feet above
the level Of the surrounding plain

MOVABLE SCHOOLS FOR MARY
LAND NEIGHBoRHooDs.

Plans are now being made by the
Extension Service, in cooperation with
the Farmers Institute Department Of
the Maryland Agricultural College to
continue the work inaugurated last
year, of holding Movable Schools or
Neighborhood Short Courses in Agri
culture and Home Economics, In diff
ferent sections Of the State during the
winter months.
These courses were a great success
last year. They are not in the nature
of an Institute, but supplement this
class of instruction. Short courses
will be conducted for four days at any
given place. They are designed to fur
nish to the farmers and farmers
wives, and particularly the young men
and women in the farm homes, an op-
portunity to secure, through series
of complete and regular lectures, and
practical demonstrations, information
in a given phase of farming in which
the individual or community is
especially interested. On account Of
limited funds and men and women
available for the work only small
number of these Neighborhood Courses
can be conducted this year. Every ef-
fort will be made to make these prac-
tical and useful to the community. For
this reason courses can only be held
In those places where the people are
deeply interested, and are willing to
put time and energy behind them SO
as to make them success from every
standpoint
Local communities interested in
these Neighborhood Short Courses
should communicate with the Exten-
sion Service. Maryland Agricultural
College. College Park, Maryland.

Russia,s Merchant EIau.

The Russian merchant flag is hor-
izontal tricolor of white, blue and red.
Originally it was the Dutch flag, and
its appearance so pleased Peter the
Great that he took it with him from
Amsterdam and hoisted it upside down.
His plan to distinguish it from the
Dutch banner met with much criticism,
however, as the flag in an inverted
position denoted a flag of distress, and
eventually the stripes had 60 be rear
ranged before Russia adopted it as a
national emblem.

Decomposins Water.

Water is decomposed or separated
into its constituent gases by passing a
continuous current Of electricity
through it An ordinary zinc and cop
per voltaic battery gives sufficient am
perage and also voltage to separate the
oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen goes to
the pole connected with the copper
plate and hydrogen to the zinc pole or
plate. The volume of hydrogen is dou-
BILE that of the oxygen, and both are
chemically pure. Steam, if passed over
red hot iron, surrenders its oxygen to
the atoms of the metal while hydrogen
is given OFF pure and free.-New York

A bulb of unusual interest for the
amateur is the Colchicum. This bulb
produces flowers in the living room
without the aid Of soil or water to
bring about it's growth. The bulb can
be placed on shelf in the room where
it will come into bloom. It produces
its flowers in the fall. outdoors, dur
ing the early winter, inside. AS is
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton, the flowers are produced without
leaves. The bulb produces its leaves
in the spring. This bulb may be pur-
chased from any reliable seed store.

music TO ALL

The development of photographic in.
struments has been wonderful, and the
records made by the large companies
engaged in such business are now the
medium of bringing the opera, the pop.
ular song, ballads and classics to all
people.
The present season of grand opera at
the New York Metropolitan opera
house is specially notable for two reas.
ons: Owing to the great European
war New York is the only one of the
large operate centers to give its regu-
lar projected season of grand opera
the magnificent revival of Carmen
with an all star cast, including Farrar
Caruso. Aida and Amato, has proved
one OF the greatest successes ever
known in the history of opera.
With such unusual interest attaching
to this revival of Carmen, still the Vic
tor company has offered the public rec
ords of the wonderful songs in its Feb
ruary list of new records.
Indeed, for those who want it, music
may be had by anyone now. Every
home can have the kind of music it de-
sires for the field from which one may
chose selections is unlimited.

The snake strikes at him, but he
throws blanket over it and throws it
from the window. The gypsy girl is
found hiding in the grounds, but Owen
treacherously permits her to escape.
Pauline buys race horse which Owen
pursuades her to ride in a steeple
chase. Owen has the horse drugged
and in the course of the race the ami
NAL falls but Pauline miraculously es-
capes. Recovering from the shock,
Harry and she set out for house par
ty in the Adirondacks. Owen has the
gypsies follow them. Disguised as
mountaineers the gypsies decoy Paul
inc and Harry from the party and plan
to do away with them. After a des-
perate struggle Harry frees himself
from the band and seizing Pauline
dashes away with her. Their retreat
