DAISIES
BY 1. M. BENNINGTON.

No flower in all the garden series is
more beloved than the star-eyed daisy,
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 ANIMALS,
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 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-
ber. They must be protected with
straw or litter through the winter and
transplanted to their permanent posi-
tion in the spring
The orange daisy, South African
orange daisy, has become a great IA
vorite. 1t 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 bor
ders and as a pot-plant.

THE WHITE CARNATION
BY BETTY PAKE.

The search for the pure white car
nation, one that will Keep its pure
color for long period, has never
been quite successful.
1t is a fact that the average vari-
ETY. remains under cultivation but a
few years, and they are constantly
running out. They must, therefore,, con-
stantly be replaced by newer and
more vigorous varieties grown from
the seed. Often a carnation that pro-
duces beautiful white flowers for two
or three years fails entirely after that
time.
The common garden soil will not do
for the carnation. It should be COM
posed of about thTee-fourths rich, dark
loan and one-fourth well-rotted ma
nure. This should be thoroughly
mixed several times and by Septem-
ber the first cuttings should be placed
in boxes about five inches deep. Set
the plants about ten inches apart.
Syringe thoroughly with water until
they have a good start. The plants
should be staked in order to keep the
flowers above the foliage
The soil should be frequently treat
ed with liquid manure-cow, sheep,
or hen droppings are excellent-but
It should not be too strong say about
the color of weak tea
If yoN want large flowers you must
disbud the plants judiciously. Give
them plenty of water and ventilation,
and syringe with tobacco extract to
discourage the red spider.
If potted, they should be in pots
of from four to seven inches accord
ing to the size of the plants.
The best way is to propagate them
in cold frames, leaving them uncov-
cred as 'ong as POSSIBLE, The early

THE BEAUTY OF HYDRANGEAS
Rv LIMA r. ROSE.

One of the best late towering, hardy
shrubs is the hydrangea.
While there are other shrubs that
| like better, this one seems to be a
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 in
their pinky brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing ef
fects when seen against a background
of pure white.
In planting the hydrangeas, would
never advise using them singly. They
are vastly more effective when
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 plant
that will grow in any soil and under
almost any condition, and has hardi.
ness enough to Withstand the trying
ordeal of the severest northern win.
ter, will find the hydrangea the very
thing they are looking for.

Safety Not First.

Our present-day civilization can
boast Of many good and wonderful
things, but safety is hardly one OF it's
blessings. The ancients seem to have
moved about in a paradise of safety
when we compare the simple condi-
tiOns of their life with our own COM
plex and dangerous environment. The
very richness of modern life makes
the world a dangerous place in which
to live. The figures showing the mum
ber Of deaths from violence in recent
years is appalling. Last year, in the
United States alone, $1,000 persons
were killed in accidents of one kind or
another, while nearly 100000 more
were injured. About $4,000 workmen
were killed while at their tasks. On
the railroads of the country about
10000 persons are killed every year,
and 20 times that number are injured.
On the streets and roads 5000 deaths
are caused by vehicles, the automo-
bile being responsible for half the
number of victims. st. Nicholas.

lily has always kept the shrine Of Our
Lady of Olvidados down in Yucatan,
where the old faith still holds, and
where men have not gone after
strange gods"
But how in the world if you live
in Yucatan did you ever work your
way so far north?"
When General Zapata rose in re-
belliOn after President Diaz had fed
to France, the whole country rose with
him. Every place was looted, and
what few treasures we had were ta-

I'VE in Trocanto managed to hide
the wealth of the shrine, and for
months my brother, who had the care
of the shrine itself, had little trou-
BILE in secreting the wealth that we
had hidden for nigh four hundred
years.

They had no fear of God. 1t is
lacking always, they say, in mob
that knows neither law nor leader.
And the stone was gone-looted-ta
ken, as everything else was taken,
with the raiders when they fed to the
north.
Always, senior, our raiders have
come from the north, from the days
of old when the Toltecs came down
upon the land, and when following
them the countless thousands of the
red savages drove the Toltecs in head
long flight, bringing death and DESC
lation upon the land. And then the
Spaniard came. and-thou knowest the
