DAISIES

No flower in all the garden series Is

or marguerite And perhaps no
flower has undergone a more decided
Improvement than this same flower,
which fills the meadow spaces with its
nodding white and in better soil looks
statelier from the garden path.
The daisy should have a place in
the garden. They make delightful bor-
ders to beds of taller-growing ANNALS,
and can be used very effectively in
beds Of spring-blooming bulbs.
Daisies may be sown at intervals for
succession. in shallow boxes of light.
rich soil Cover the seed to about
three times their own thickness, and
press the soil firmly over them. Keep
the box in a warm window. greenhouse
or hotbed.
Transplant to new, boxes and set out
in the open ground when danger from
frost is past Daisies can be sown
in beds outside in August or Septem-
Der. They must be protected with
straw OF litter through the winter and
transplsnted to their permanent posi-
tion in the spring.
The orange daisy, South African
orange daisy. has become a great IA
vorite. II was introduced a few years
ago and has been made much of at the
flower shows and Is used largely on
big estates. 1t is excellent for Dor.
ders and as a pot-plant.

THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

One of the best late towering, hardy
shrubs is the hydrangea.
While there are other shrubs thai
like better, this one seems to be e
favorite with the masses. 1t has the
merit of extreme hardness, easy cul
ture, great Righteousness, late bloom
ing and persistency.
It's flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but il
their pinky brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against a background
of pure white.
In planting the hydrangeas, l woulc
never advise using them singly. They
are vastly more effective wher
grouped. By this means we secure
for it a strength and dignity which
single specimens never have. Plant
ed thickly this plant produces a grand
effect.
Those who are in search of plan
that will grow in any soil and undei
almost any condition. and has hardi
ness enough to withstand the tryin,
ordeal of the severest northern win
ter, will find the hydrangea the yer!
thing they are looking for.

ing for help. He was perfectly con-
scious of his unpleasant predicament
but was unable to move. Immense
quantities of yangona are consumed by
the natives. Few white people like
the taste at first, but it is considered
refreshing on hot day and it is SO
pleasantly stimulating that many Euro
peans in Fiji drink it habitually. 4
Making Yangona.
Yangona is brewed on all festal oc-
casions as matter of course A great
wooden bowl with four legs is used for
the purpose. Usually it is beautifully
polished from long usage and has a
purple bloom like that of the grape.
the yangona root, which comes from a
plant growing freely all over the is
lands, is brought in when all is ready
and publicly scraped and cleaned.
Then it is cut into small pieces and
grated into the great bowl. In olden
times it was customary to have the
root prepared by chewing rather than
by grating. Several young men or
root and hidden chew them until large
| Jumps Of white fiber had been obtained.
The operation required some time and
the chewers frequently washed out
their mouths with fresh water. 1t is
contended even yet by many people in
Fiji that yangona prepared by the
chewing process is much preferable
to that obtained by grating, SO far as
the favor is concerned.
The second process is adding the
water, which is poured over the roots
in the bowl, after which it is wrung
out through a piece of hybiscus fiber,
which is like fine netting. The yellow
ish fluid which is thus produced tastes
like rhubarb and magnesia.
In spite of the fact that they follow
the practices of the Christian church,
some being Methodists, some Advent
lists and some Catholics, many of the
old-time rites are still persisted in.
Perhaps the most interesting as we'll
as the most remarkable is that found
on the island of Beqa, one Of the Fiji
group, where the natives walk bare
footed on stones so hot that they glow.
Although the statement was long ques
toned, the fact has been established
that there is no jugglery about this
rite, although nobody can explain why
the feet of the firewalkers, as they are
called are not terribly burned.

Poetry From Experience.

The finest poetry was first expert

transformation since it was an expert

but it is easy to read through their
poems their personal history; anyone
with the parties can name
every figure: This is Andrew, that is
Rachel. The sense thus remains pro-
sale. 1t is a caterpillar with wings and
not yet a butterfly. In the poets mind
