ouakers Proud Of Pedigree.

The Quaker custom, exemplified In
he burial ground Of Jordans, of not
marking the resting places Of the
lead with memorial stones, is not so
universally followed by them now
But If no outward record is kept, the
Society of Friends has remarkably
complete records of their own doings
md their registers of births, marriages
md deaths are among the most COM
olete in existence. Friends, indeed,
ire great on pedigrees, and they are
rs proud of old Quaker blood as other
people are of more aristocrutic descent.

New War Game.

Playing war got three small boys into the Columbus Qnd) city court They had been reading the newspa. pers. They knew eggs were cheaper and also about the latest things in gas bombs. They armed themselves with eggs, playing that they were hand bombs, then lay in ambush to await the coming of the enemy. Just any sort Of an enemy would satisfy them. John J. Hosea, manager of the Citi. zenS Telephone company in Columbus, happened to come along with his new ly-washed touring car. Clarence Kep. ley friend, was riding with him. The boys decided the car was a battleship or a Iaube or something like that and they opened fire. Eggs spattered the sides of the tur. Kepley jumped out or the machine and gave chase He captured one boy, who confessed and gave the names of his confeder ates. They were loaded in the car and taken to the city court, where Mayor Volland lectured them.

War Hits Burnt Cork.

Black face comedians of the Ameri can stage have found their labors greatly increased because of the war.
 There is scarcely a minstrel man or Woman-in the country who is not hard hit, for before the war there was available a carbon burnt cork which made backing up a job of two or three minutes.
 All that was necessary was to rub cold cream on the face, and then rub on the face blacking After the show the black could be rubbed off just as quickly as it was put on-a smear of cold cream. a towel, then soap and water, and the minstrel's face was it's regular color
 Now, however, the importation of this cork has stopped, and the min. strels have to make their own black. ing. The carbon burnt cork was bet ter for it's purpose than any known substitute, and in it's absence the black face actors have to soak nu- merous corks in kerosene. These are then charred to a powder.

Potatoes in Corfu.

The French soldiers now occupying the Greek island of Corfu are perhaps not aware that the potatoes which are furnished them at every meal are of French origin. This precious tuber was unknown at Corfu until after the oc- cupation by French troops of the "Sev- en Isles" in 1907 after the peace of Tilsit. The French general, Donze- lot" says Le Cri de Paris, "command- ing the army of occupation. had much difficulty in feeding his troops. He wrote to France and in 1910 frigate came from Toulon loaded with pota- toes. A liberal quantity of these was planted in the island by the soldiers of the garrison. The general offered samples of his first harvest to the in- habtants. They were unanimous in declaring that these unknown tubers had a disagreeable taste and that it was impossible to eat them. Four years later when our troops evacuated Corfu, the same natives bought the gardens and potato fields that had been cultivated by the soldiers. The natives had changed their minds"

GARDEN FOR BUSY WOMAN
By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

Every woman ought to have gar den. The change that takes woman out of doors away from the routine of homework is a good one. It affords health, happiness and a positive relief to the overworked muscles and tired brain of the woman who spends most of her day indoors. There is health for both body and brain in working in garden.
 There are great many flowers that require very little care and give won derful returns for the little time ex- pended. My advice to the woman who has not much time to give to her gar will give the best result for her limit ed care.
 No lover of flowers can afford to be without corner for sweet peas. They bloom in wonderful profusion and their beauty and fragrance are too well known to need comment. Plant as early in the season as possible, and SOW the seeds about an inch apart. Cover with about two inches of soil and tamp the soil down firmly. Keep the roots well covered as they grow, as shallow planted sweet peas often fail in hot weather Provide some brush for them to grow on, water pro fusely and enjoy their beauty.
 Allow a corner for poppies. Also space for few china asters, like our grandmothers grew. Nothing is eas fer to grow, nothing blooms more pro, fusely. Few plants are richer in color or bloom later in the season.
 Phlox is profuse bloomer and rich and varied in coloring. It is most eff. fective when massed and the colors kept separate.
 The gillytlower is a fragrant old timer worthy of our attention. This is late bloomer, like the aster. Plant

APRIL IN BlRDLAND
By L. M. BENNINGTON.

This month the birds mate, and many new ones come from the South. This month the boys and girls wander all over the woods and fields looking for the bluets, the violets, hepaticas and spring beauties.
 This spring hope they will not pick too many of our wild flowers, because 1t is feared that in time there will not be many of our beautiful native blossoms to gather.
 They have been ruthlessly plucked and thrown aside for so many years by thoughtless children that a great many of the most beautiful and val uable species have run out of exist ence.
 In their walks in the woods this spring it would be very interesting to the boys and girls to take up the study of wild flowers and the study

a myriad of caravans of the past bleach along the desert trails, cara vans that mostly came to harm at the hands of marauders; but there are some among them destroyed by thirst, by the sand storm or by the water of wells poisoned in inter-tribal wars. Of all three risky Tripolitan trades. the caravan trade is the most risky; and the old caravan men will find It, tie in the newer industry of war for which their peace-time labors have not fully prepared them.
