Rheumatism superstitIons, },

It is when 1t comes to rheumatism
that old superstitions come most def
nltely to the fore, and there are
scores of cures and preventives which
have come down through the centuries.
One Of these which the Belgians have
introduced to the fighting men at the
front is the wearing Of strip of cat
skin beneath the coat. According to
the Belgians, this makes you immune
from both rheumatism and gout, and
with the trenches deep with mud and
icy water, the average soldier, wheth-
er in France or England, is only too
glad to "take a chance" on any sort
of preventive, and 1t is said that
scores of domestic pussy cats have
been offered up rs sort of sacrifice
to provide whole regiments with the
coveted strip of fur. The fad has
spread to England, where "catskin"
bands are now sold; but so far Ameri-
ca has been content with the theory
that the wearing Of steel ring, or
the carrying of potato in the pocket.
would keep off the dread aching OF
joints and muscles.

EASTER LILY FROM BERMUDA,
Gardens but They Are Now Be- /.
ino Grown In United States.

The Easter lily, the accepted floral
emblem Of that church festival, was
introduced into this country about fifty
years ago from Bermuda. The littld
group of islands have sent us millions
of bulbs and received millions Od
American dollars In return. The large
eastern cities buy hundreds Of thou
sands of bulbs annually, costing in the
neighborhood Of 800 per 1000.
OF late years some disease has at.
tackled the bulbs. and on this account
and by way Of developing our own
possibilities, experiments in the culture
Of Lilium longifi0rium, the botanical
name Of the Easter lily, have been
made, which prove that in sections OF
Florida, Mississippi, Washington, Ore
gon and California 1t can be grown
with perfect success. Thus, 1t is point
ed out, we are making ourselves indie
