few vines are better to grow than the
Madeira and the Columbian climber.
Their foliage is of a very rich.
glossy green, and the delicate white
flowers, or rich clusters, of the Ma
deira vine are not only abundant, but
deliciously fragrant. Both vines are
easy to grow, and in a fairly good soil
will attain a height of 20 or 25 feet.
Although the asparagus s%prengeri
produces only tiny flowers, it's foliage
is so glorious, so green and restful to
the eye, that it is a plant much to be
desired. Not requiring a great amount
of sun, it "a be placed back of other
plants and, if somewhat above them
its rich beauty will act as a charming
foil.
1t is doubtful if there is any other
n thing in the culture of house
plants SO little understood as the
proper application of moisture.
Generally, the best way to determine
when a plant needs water is to take a
pinch of the soil and rub it between
the thumb and first finger. If dry
enough to become powdery, water
should be applied; but if it is still so
damp as to hold between the fingers,
no more water will be needed for a
time. Lilies, of course, are an excep-
ton to this rule, and in fact, almost
all kinds of bulbs.
Pansies are a desirable flower to
have, and a five-cent package will be
sufficient for one ordinarily to grow.
They want to be started indoors in
a box full of rich soil, and kept in a
slightly-shaded place.
The dirt should be damp all the
time, to insure which it needs frequent
watering, and when the pansies are
planted out it is better on this account
to have the bed on the north side of
the house.
There if given a little care, they can
be made to bloom till frost comes In
the fall.

These Gems Fairly Blaze With Myriad
Shades of Color.

SnadeS OF Coior.
Those exquisite gems, black opals,
which were practically unknown up
till comparatively recently. cost more.
carat for carat, than do diamonds even,
while experts declare hat they are in
1n1tely more beautiful.
And in this connection it may be
pointed out that the term ''black opal"
Is distinctly misleading. 1t was coin
ed to distinguish it from the familiar
light opal. AS a matter of fact. the
black opal is alive with myriad shades
of flaming %splendor. from brightest
tints of green glowing fire to meteoric
gold or lavender that in an instant
quiyers to crimson or slips into molten
ruby or sapphire as the angle of light
alters.
Black opals are dear. not only be-
cause they are so beautiful, but be-
cause they are so rare. They are found
only at one spot, a comparatively small
tract of ground in New South Wales.
adjoining the Queensland border.
The field is called Lightning ridge.
1t is a wild and desolate spot. The
nearest towns to it are Walgett and
Collarendabri. and it is about 800 miles
from Sydney as the crow flies.
Black opal mining is about the big
gest gamble eXtant. There is really
nothing TO guide the miner in selecting
a likely spot. The work is hard. The
shafts average forty feet in depth, and
all rock has to be "bucketed' to the
top. Water is scarce, food almost I'M

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys Seem to Be In
a Class by Themselves.
Ito Be Continued.)

Cats, logs ana Oeem TO Dc IN
a Class by Themselves.
Horses are generally given credit foi
q great deal more Intelligence than
they actually possess. Scientific tests
show that i'll wisdom such as human
beings display horses are hopelessly
o~utclassed by dogs. monkeys and even
cats.
The horse can be taught TO do certain
things just because be is too stupid to
have any ideas of his own. Like many
human prize pupils. he can learn. but
cannot think.
So far as intelligence goes psyche
logical experiments show that it is
practically Il dead heat between cats.
dogs and monkeys.
The dog has human morals; there
fore people are apt to assume that he
has human logic. But the cat. say GER
tain persons. in sheer brains stands
next to man. He has the adaptive in
~telligence that makes him equally at
home in parlor and wild woods and gets
him a living anywhere. A cat, it is
argued, can think faster and take care
of himself under more different condi-
lions than any other living thing ex-
cept man.
Monkeys undoubtedly seem more in
telligent than they really are because
they resemble human beings in actions
and outward appearance SO much more
closely than other animals.
Some scientists maintain that, al
though the monkey may be really no
more intelligent than the cat or dog.
his intelligence is certainly more like
the human type.
Although he may not think better.
his methods of thought are more like
those of a man than are those of the
other animals.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WITH THE FLOWERS
BY e. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Don't be too anxious to SOW flower
seeds for next summers growth until
you have studied what you want to
have in your garden and how you are
to obtain the best results.
If you contemplate having a flower
garden next summer, see to it hat you
reserve a place for some of the old
fashioned flowers. Oftentimes a bou-
quet of these will bring more tender
memories to your friends and awaken
more of their gratitude for you than
any amount of the newer varieties.
February is a good month in which
to start the cutting of geraniums and
verbenas. Cuttings of verbenas start
ed 20 will root in about ten days.
Always remember that tall plants,
like hollyhocks, castor beans, sunf1ow-
ers and cosmos are best for back
grounds.
Protecting plants from cold drafts
about windows is a matter of much i'm
portance. In case of severe winter
weather a certain amount of cold can
be warded off by placing over them
made of paper.
Plants will seldom do well where
gas and dust abound. Proper regula-
ton of the heating apparatus will gen.
orally eliminate the former and regu-
lar spraying or sponging of the foliage
of the latter.
In doing this the under side of the
leaves should be looked after, for it is
there that insects first make their ap-
pearance and unless checked by spray
ing they will soon spread.
Such house plants as geraniums, be-
gonias, petunias, azaleas, fuchsias, he
liotropes, snapdragons and the like do
best if not watered too often during
the winter. But when it is done the
soil should be thoroughly soaked, and
the temperature of the room kept a
little higher for a few hours there
after.
The best time to water these is in
the morning and on a sunny day.
For starting early flowers, SOW the
seed in shallow boxes and plan to
transplant the plants at least twice be-
fore they are placed in the open
ground. In order to have them do well
the Temperature is lower after each
transplanting. In this way they will
be hardened off, and made more
ready for setting out in the open
ground.
Considering the small amount of
care it requires, there is no flower
more satisfactory and beautiful than
the dahlia.
Such hardy bulbs as hyacinths, tu-
lips, lilies, crown imperials, phlox
irises and the like do better, as a rule,
if allowed to remain u~ndisturbed in
the ground for years.
If you have any cold-frame plants,
such as violets, roses and carnations,
don't fail to expose them more and
more to air for gradual hardening off
before planting.
Try growing geraniums this year.
Next to cannas, they will give more
satisfaction for the trouble expended
thar almost any other flower mention
able. Be sure to get those, however,
adapted for growing in beds.
When your Easter lilies get through
blooming water them until the leaves
begin to fade, then Withhold water I'M
til the tops die. When that occurs o
can put the pots in the cellar and leave
them there until autumn.
Gladiolus bullets will blossom a
year earlier if peeled before planting.
Being dry, the husk requires a long
time to soak up so the new growth can
penetrate it, but If it is removed
growth starts at once.
For a perpetual delight all summer

POTTING SOIL

Lay in a supply of potting soil now,
so If need arises for soil when the
ground is frozen or covered with snow
it can be met. Equal parts of good
garden soil, old, well-rotted manure,
leaf mold and sand should be stirred
well together, sifted through a coarse
sieve and stored under shelter In
boxes and barrels.
