FIND FISH ALREADY BR0lLED
Volcanic Peak In South American
Andes Throws Out Dainty Morsels
Which Indians Appreciate.

There is a volcanic peak in the
South American Andes that serves
broiled fish for breakfast. Not infre-
quently they also are on the bill Of
fare for luncheon and dinner as well.
This peak is called the Tunghurahua,
and is regarded as a special instru-
ment of the gods by Indians living in
the vicinity.
They believe that when an eruption
takes place, running their crops and
perhaps sweeping away their homes,
the mystic spirit of the Tungurahua
provides the broiled fish so that they
will not want. But the scientific ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat different.
Far underneath the mouth of the
volcano is a subterranean lake. When
the volcano begins to spout flame and
lava the suction draws up tons of wa
ter, carrying along the fish, which are
cooked by the inferno they pass
through. After an eruption the In
dians find thousands of the fish in the
ashes and lava from the volcano, and
many of these are just crisp enough
for a dainty breakfast.

Knew Value of Relaxation.

''How is it that you are able to do
so much more than other people?" ask
ed tired, nervous woman who stop
ped Mrs. Palmer for a word at the
close of one Of her lectures.
Because" she answered, with the
sudden gleam of a smile. II haven't
a7y nerves nor conscience, and my
husband says I haven't any back
bone"
It was true that she never wor-
ried. She had early learned to live
one day at a time, without 'looking
before and after" And no one knew
better than Alice Freeman Palmer the
renewing power of joy. She could
romp with some of her very small
friends in the half hour before an i'm
portant meeting; go for walk or
ride along country lanes when vex-
ing problem confronted her; or spend
a quiet evening by the fire reading
aloud from o:e of her favorite po-
cts at the end of q busy day.-Mary
r. Perkman, in st. Nicholas.

THE TULIP IN POTS.

Some varieties Of tulips are well
adapted to the flower pot. The Clu-
siana vent grows to height of 20
inches, with a slender stem. The
leaves are very long and narrow and
the flower sometimes measures two
inches across. This variety Is of the
funnel form, with bright lemon-yel-
low flowers, with light shading of
green or white, sometimes streaked
with pink. 1t is very fragrant, and
when properly cultivated is one of the
most beautiful of all the tulip family.
The tulip is easy to cultivate, as 1t
thrives we'll in either heavy or light
soil. 1t does better, however, in rather
light soil, well-drained and fairly rich.
Those grown in heavy, black soil pro-
duce smaller flowers, and the. colors
are not nearly so bright. In some Of
the uplands of Virginia the ideal tulip
soil is found for the growing Of bulbs,
and it is said to be almost identical
with that of Holland, where this
flower is so successfully grown.

THE CARE OF YOUR PLANTS
syL. M. BENNINGTON.

Some persons labor under the delu-
sion that water must be applied daily
to their plants in the window garden.
More plants are killed every year
through this process than by any other
means. Plants watered every day are
literally drowned out, unless they hap
pen to have the best of drainage.
Others go on the "little-and-often"
plan-that is, they apply water in small
quantities whenever they happen to
think of 1t.
The result is the surface of the soil
Is kept moist, and from this the owner
takes it for granted that the soil be-
meath must be properly damp.
Nine times out Of ten examination
will show that an inch or two below
the surface the soil is dry. OF course
the roots of the plant cannot do their
work under such conditions. The plant
soon sickens and eventually dies and
the owner wonders what caused the
trouble.
Now, in watering plants several
things have to be considered. First
the nature Of the plant. Some like a
great deal of water, others only mod
crate amount.
Second, the soil. A'close, loamy soil
dries out slowly, therefore 1t will not
require as frequent or as large apph-
cations as a light porous soil from
which moisture evapOrates rapidly.
Third, location and exposures must
be taken into consideration. Plants in
the sun or a very warm place, will
heed a good deal more water than
those in full or partial shade or a low
temperature.
Fourth, the size of the pot must be
reckoned with. The soil in large pot
will not dry out for two or three days,
but the soil in a small pot will become
quite dry every day. Little moisture
needed.

GLOOMY DAY HAS ITS USES
For One Thing, II Gives Man an op'
portunity to Mediate and Be
Strengthened.

A gloomy day now and then serves
n useful purpose. II enables a fellow
TO sit down and take stock Of himself,
for there is something about the lower
ing clouds and dismal weather which
causes one TO contemplate more seri-
ously the realities of life, the Dayton
News observes.
And gloO ly day at this season, of
all gloomy daysl Sodden, sullen,
dreary! The gloom seems 10 hover
over and settle down upon one and
sink into his soul. The mind refuses
to run in cheerful channels. The very
muscles seem TO relax and to rebel
when asked to do a task. The blood
flows slowly through the veins and the
nerves grow dull. At least, that is
the way it seems upon a gloomy day
at this time Of the year.
1t is pretty hard to think seriously
when the sun Is shining. Life seems
to be sort Of joke. The world
smiles and you smile with 1t, and all
is fickleness. It is no time beneath the
smiling skies Of pleasant day to
mediate. But a gloomy day-what
are we on earth for? From whence
did we come? Whittier do we goP Is
II all worth while? Should we struggle
on, with the reward so small or end 1t
all? These are the questions that
come TO the fellow who sits and gazes
out into the sullen air Of a gloomy
day.
But the beauty of 1t is, he answers
his own questions to his own satisfac-
tion, and arises from his place at the
window, renewed in strength and in
determination to do the right thing;
for he comes to understand the
beauty of these gloomy days, to value
them at their worth, and to know that
he who sits and meditates is prohted
thereby.

Lasting Memories.

Loneliness seems forever impossible
since you went out and left the gate
ajar and all the world came in and
all its sorrows. The griefs that enter
in some strange way solace my own,
and this increasing sense of the
anguish of the world is lightened and
lifted by sharing it with other folk,
1t is good to feel so passionately and
utterly a part Of all that lives and
throbs and suffers. .. How for
tunate and how unusual in so small a
house that the hall leads all the way
through from green to green. We shall
get all the breezes that blow, as the
house faces the west as all houses
should face; and always and forever
we shall hear the stream. There's a
step there at the back, down to the
garden walk, that you must remember
you who are absent-minded. keep
forgetting that you are dead.-From

He says that a few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard

SAYS ALL CHILDREN DO 1T
University President startIes Hearers
by Declaring Youths Like to
"Take" Things.

DIR. G.. Stanley Hall, president OF
Clark university, speaking on "Relig'
lon and Education" the other day
tossed off a number of opinions that
rather startled some of his hearers
"Say, damn once in a while If the
occasion demands" Doctor Hall ad-
vised, and when the gasping had sub
sided he gave it as his belief
that slapping children was a good
practice if the slappings were admin
istered vigorously and mot more In
sorrow than in anger.
"Be very kind about stealing" said
the wise doctor, ''fOr all children
do it,"
That appears to be a pretty broad
assertion, says the Dayton News.
Perhaps the doctor is right, but let
us hope that he has Overstated the
case. In justice to him 1t must be
added that he qualified his assertion
concerning the thievish prOpensities of
children by saying:
POSSIBLY there is not person here,
a man at least, who has not stolen
apples, turnips or watermelons. If
they had been caught in the city they
would have been branded as Grim
inals."
We can understand the doctors con-
clusions concerning apples and water
melons, but why should any boy want
to steal turnips? AS well accuse all
boys of prefering work to play. No,
we refuse to believe that Doctor Hall
was not too generous in his accusation.

Equity.

Let the tears of the poor man find
In them more compassion, but more
justice, than the pleadings Of the rich.
Try and discover the truth, as well
among the promises and presents Of
the rich man as among the wailings
and opportunities of the poor.
Where equity can and should have
place, charge not the rigor of the law
upon the delinquent, for the fame of
the righteous judge stands not great
er than that of the merciful.
If perchance you should bend the
rod of justice, let it not be with the
weight of a 5ribe, but with that of
mercy.
When it should happen to thee to
judge the cause of some enemy of
thine, turn thy mind away from thine
injury and set it on the truth Of the

But, as l have said, one will have

such change as may appear necessary
to ne intelligent plant grower who
does not believe in treating all her
plants exactly alike.
Give fertilizers to growing plants

he carried in his memory table of

that on one occasion two of his stu

they found disagreement in their re-

the calculation. He did this mentally,
and his result was found to, he correct.
