CULTURE OF HARDY ANIMALS
BY LIMA P. ROSE.

Seeds Of hardy ANIMALS should be
sown early. in shallow boxes or pots
and placed in 4 warm window. or
horbed. A second sowing ought to be
made from two - four weeks after
for a succession. as we'll as 10 pro-
vide against failure the first time.
The most convenient receptacle for
seed is a shallow box from two to
three inches deep and of any con-
venient size.
The best soil for all Of the smaller
kinds is a very fire. rich. sandy ,Oam.
The very best soil IS that taken from
old hotbeds. or from old pasture land,
piled up in sods and allowed TO rot
for two or three years and then mixed
with sand and q little old stable ma
nUre.
Give the tiny T'auts plenty Of air
and moisture. vet rot too much water
or they will damp Of Get pots two
inches or more in diameter and plant
the young seedlings along the edges
OF the pots SO that as soon as the
ground IS warm enough they can be
easily turned out and planted singly.
as by hat time hey will have good
roots
DO not cover seeds TOO deeply. This
- a common and disastrous mistak"

Hit Him Coming and Going.

An attorney went to a livery stable and hired q team for two or three hours and at the end of that time, in q state of absentmindedness, left the team at another livery stable, where it remained eight days. At stable No 1 there was no worry about the team. They knew the attorney was perfectly good for the pay. At stable No. 7 there was equal freedom from anxiety. The attorney came there, left the team and went away. saying nothing. They put the horse into Q stall and "chalked 1t down on the office slate. knowing him to be a business man who paid cash. Discovery came at last, and the lawyer was presented with two bills. one for eight days hire and the other for eight days keep. He paid both bills promptly, but it cured him of be- ing absentmindetI for nearly whole month.

 We were standing round a small fire wrote Arminius Vambery, the Hun- garian Iinguist and traveller, in his ac- count of caravan journey to Box hara when we were startled by two reports from firearms and the loud yellin% of some person who was badly hurt. The whole caravan was alarm cd. and we all ran to the rear. where we found one of our c0mpa anions with a shattered arm.
 Several horsemen who were conveying the annual taxes from Shiraz to Tehe. ran had come up with two Jewish shopkeepers, whom they first insulted and then started to assault. when ] Persian of our company interfered One of the horsemen became so enrag ed that he lifted his rifle and shot at the Jews. He afterward declared that he had intended to friyhtcn one of the Jews by shooting through his cap. but he missed his aim and hit the Per sian's arm.

HAPGOOD AND PINCHOT.

Who is behind Brandeis. nominee of President Wilson for the supreme Bench, who is under fire before sub committee of the senate. That is question which has occasioned con- siderable concern among the politi- clans of the country at large. Bran deis was not even mentioned publicly before his name was sent to the sen- ate by the president. His selection was something of mystery as well as a surprise.
 An editorial bearing out this query in the New York Sun is of some in- terest:
 "Those in and out of the Senate. who have taken the pains to look up the matter discover that Norman Hap good probably may more justly lay claiming to originating the Brandels appointment than any other person who enjoys the close confidence of the administration. A complete alibi has been established for Col. House, who left for Europe before the matter arose.
 It is learned that Senators LaFol- lette and Newlands, Charles R. Crane and Amos Pinchot had been consult ed about the nomination by Secre- tary McAdoo and all approved of it. Outside of this select list of progress sive has-beens there appears to have been little consultation by the presi- dent
 Hapgood, president editor of Har- per's Weekly and former muckraker in-chief for Golfers; Amos Pinchot, bull moose who has run amuck. a brother of Clifford Pinchot, whose name will always be held in abhor- renee by Alaskans, the leading for ester and leading "conservationist"- a delectable pair to dictate or other wise bring about the nomination of a member of the supreme court.
 It is little wonder that the Presi- dents nominee is having rough sled ding. The people are tired of con- servation. and undertaking. and stiff ling public utilities, and the appoint .ment of one of the leading advocates of the Big Stick" will not help smooth the troubled sea of capital ism.

LIFE IN THE SEA.
1t Exceeds That of the Land, Square
 Mile For Square Mile.

The sea teens with plants and ami. malls, and it has been estimated that the amount of life in the sea exceeds that of the land. square mile for square mile. Animal life is found nearly ev- anywhere. even at the greatest depth; but 1t f1ourishes best at or near the shore. On the other hand. plant life seems to be absent over the bottoms of the ocean basins, but plentiful at the surface. where the sunlight plays an important part in its growth.
 It is believed that the original forms of life began in the ocean many mil. lion years ago. and at no time since has life there ceased. Many of the earliest forms are now extinct; others have gradually increased in number and va riety from their beginning to the pres ent time. How long ago life began no one has definitely determined. but it is known to have been many million years ago. for the remains of extinct animals and plants are found in the oldest sedimentary rocks.
 According to gcologists, the oceanic waters have made many tncursions upon the continents and at times have nearly submerged them. Long ago. even in geologic sense, before the birth of the Appalachian or Rocky mountains, the sea made frequent vis- it's to the interior of oar continent and left, after each retreat, a sandy. muddy or Sli,ny deposit mixed with shells and other organic remains. which later be- came solidified into rock. Were not the organic remains still found in the de- posits it would be difficult to believe that the ancestors of many present day sea animals once lived along the beaches of an ancient inland sea- Geological Survey Bulletin.

REAL PREPAREDNESS.

Advocacy of preparedness is at least having a wholesome effect upon the public mind in that it is showing most persons that condition exists in the United States that calls for in- telligent action both on the part of our nations representatives and upon the public as well.
 There is plenty of proof that one of the things most needed is "team work" in which every real American is willing to do his part as soon as such service is disclosed to him.
 There is an increasing number of thinking persons that believe the principal menace at this time is NOT WAR with a foreign power. but the menace of being unprepared for sud- den PEACE ITSELF
 Should the European war be ab- ruptly terminated it cannot success fully denied that the United States is in no position from a commercial standpoint to protest herself from un- suual and unexpected competition.
 The pursuit of an impractical com mercial policy has thrown the bars down to competition that would be disastrous to thousands of the most important industries in this country. The kind of preparedness that is most urgent is business preparedness. not

preparedly for war, though one ma. be followed by the other.

be followed by the other.
 It is impossible to believe that tho President himself is in earnest Thc he says grave danger is impending. If he really believed this country danger from an encroaching peril do you not believe that he would place an embargo upon our munitions and military supplies and be busily engaged in storing away such muni- lions as would be necessary and that could be drawn upon at moments s notice? Why is it that the President
 ooks for war and breaches encour- agement to the shipment from this country of millions of dollars worth ,f war munitions that might, if dan ger be impending, be used against the government? If our officials se- riously believed for an instant that war was imminent, you would see ev- cry factory and shops running over time getting ready.
 There is no one who seriously be- lieves for an instant that either or the European powers has the slight est idea of attacking the United States within the next few years, even if they were disposed to do so. There is grave possibility of fric- tion with an oriental power, however, and that power is directly and indi- rectly the beneficiary of war muni- tions from American factories today.
 Can it be said that the government is using due diligence in defending this country, when it is not providing the nation with ample military stores, if representatives of the gov ernment, including the President. re- ally think danger is imminent?
 As matter of fact, as one ana lyzes some of this hysterical prepar- edness talk, is it possible to escape the conviction that the greater part of it is pure politics, and that the sug- gestion of danger is being made large ly for the purpose of solidifying pub lie sentiment for the coming Presi- dent campaign on the part of both Democrats and Republicans?
 Certainly nothing is being done so far as the public is informed to pre- pare for either war or peace-to pre- pare for either a commercial or an armed invasion--to safeguard either American homes, American labor or American industries against a mail ed foe to foreign labor and foreign commercial activities. On the con- trary. every suggestion that there should be an immediatement amend ment of immigration or tariff laws so as to prevent the dumping of the pro- duct of cheap labor, or cheap labor itself upon the home markets iss met with derision or with silence.
 We are not prepared for peace and most of the radical advocates of pre- paredness for war are so palpably in- sincere-so lacking in candor and good faith-that the preparedness policy as outlined by both parties promises to be as great fiasco as our adjustment of affairs in Mexico.
