THE TULIP IN POTS.

Some varieties of tulips are well
adapted to the flowerpot. The Clu-
siana vent grows to a 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-yellow
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 it thriyes well in
either heavy or light soil. 1t does. bet
ter, however, in rather light soil, we'll
drained and fairly rich. Those grown
in heavy, black soil produce 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 1t is said
to be almost identical with that of
Holland, where this flower is SO success
fully grown. ..,

'The Children stopped in front of
the Giraffe's cage. There was Gyp
wearing a beautiful pink bow around
his neck. 1t was around only part
of his neck-even though it was
very, very wide ribbon. For the Keep
er had not been able to find any rib
bon wide enough to cover the Giraffe's
whole neck. sE
"It's lucky thing said the Keep
err that Gyp doesn't have to wear col
lars Think of the collars that would
have to be made for himP
''Next to Gyp-in the cage along
side, was his Mother looking very
proud and happy.
~" Many happy returns of the day.
said the Children. How old is hep
they asked the Keeper.
"'He is one year DID, he replied.
"At that all the Children burst out
laughing. TO Think they said, that
a great, tall, enormous Creature like
that is only one year old!'
"Gyp and his Mother didn't seem to
| know just what the Children were
laughing at, but they looked very much
pleased. Gyp leaned his head out be-
tween the bars and reached his Moth
er's cage. She put her head out too,
and they Kissed each other and rubbed
their heads together.
"Dear old Mother Gyp was saying,
and his Mother was answering, My
fine Son Gypr
awe must have the party said the
Keeper. There is special food today
for Gyp and his Mother, and also for
every other Animal. And there was
even some Ice Cream for the Children,
as the Keeper had asked the Children
he knew loved Animals and were inter-
ested in all they. were doing.
'For the Giraffes he had hay and
vegetables. There was also some grain
and meal, and mulberry leaves for
which he had made special trip to
get. y.
4 "The Giraffes love mulberry leaves
almost better than anything else and
when Gyp saw what he was going to
have as it was being put into. his cage,
he waved his great long Neck about
and looked so Happy!
"And instead of Water, the Giraffes
had Milk. For they much prefer Milk
to water! And, of course, this was q
Birthday Party, and they must have
their favorite dishes.
''The other Animals got many Goodies
they were especially fond of-and
every Animal and Child ate the Keep
er's treat-for everyone had just the
right thing.
"When it was time for all the Chill
dren and Grown-Ups to leave, and time
for the Animals to go to bed, the
Giraffes began bending with theil
heads. Their long necks bent toward
the ground and then went back VI
again.
"'What are they doing?, asked the
Children. .,.
They are making bows of thank
you's,' said the Keeper"

naves, each consisting of nine arched
vaults, the two aisles being formed of
ten chapels. The choir and stalls
are of cedar and mahogany and
are ornamented with remarkably
fine wood carving, while among
the treasures of the church are to be
found some excellent paintings, among
them being fine Murillo and one of
Rembrandt's masterpieces.
Arequipa Cathedral Is Old.
Among the cathedrals of Peru that
of Arequipa is one of the oldest and
most interesting. The city was raised
to a bishopric in 1857 and the cree
ton of the cathedral was commenced
in 1912. 1t was completed in due
course, but in 1914 its interior was
partially destroyed by fire, many of
it's rich treasures, paintings, and othef
possessions being lost. The rebuild
ing took % years, and four years after
it's restoration it again suffered some
damage from the terrible earthquake
of 1868. The structure faces the Plaza
de Armas, it's facade measuring 45O
feet in length. 1t has three entrances
and the building is supported by 20
large columns of composite Ionic and
| Doric style, lending it a massive and
splendid appearance The interior is
divided into three naveS, separated by
superb columns that support the great
| arches above with harmonious effect
The main altar is of marble, and the
/ pulpit of beautifully carved wood.
| Huanuco, capital of the department
of the same name, was made an epis-
copal see in 1865. The once large pop
ulation of the city has dwindled since
the discovery Of the famous copper
mines at Cerro de Pasco until now
there are perhaps about 5000 left.
The cathedral which fronts the plaza,
is chiefly remarkable for its solid con-
struction, having stone arches and a
high and pointed steeple. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that severe
earthquakes have never visited this i'm
mediate section.
Chachapoyas has been bishopric
since 1843. The cathedral is a sim
pie one-Story structure of brick, hav.
ing two square towers to relieve the
plainness of the facade.
Ayacucho, bishopric since 1909. has
cathedral Of more pretentious archi
lecture built of volcanic rock from
the Picota mountains.
Puno, raised to bishopric in 1861
has q cathedral which is well con
structed and quite ornate in architec
tural establishment. The space o.
the facade between the two towers i.
highly ornamented and has number
of fine statues of saints placed in opeI
inches as an unusual feature.
TrujiIlo's Two Large Towers.
Trujillo, an episcopal see since 1877
has large and substantial cathedra
whose architectural features are twt
) large towers with a cupola over tn,
center of the building. Many fin,
paintings decorate the sacristy. TIL,
general plan of the building is simila
to that of the cathedral of Lima.
Cuzco, the ancient capital of the In
cas-, was made bishopric, as early a
7 1886. Construction of the cathedra
J was begun the same year, but for on
reason and another the building wa

consists of three naves separated b.
stone pillars which support the higl

DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS

BY ELIZABETH VAN 6ENTHUYsEN.
Flowers, like genius, belong in the
family of democracy. The one is just
as pat to pick out log cabin as a
palace for its home. President Will
son, speaking at the log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born, called at
tention to this feature of genius. When
he said that genius picked its society
as it willed, without regard to the
status of the persons, he also called
attention to one Of the distinctive at
tributes Of flowers.
1 am reminded of this idea by one
of the most recent social events among
the millionaires Of the East. Down on
Long island, where there are scores of
palaces more costly than anything, that
any king ever dreams of building, a
number of rich women came together

SPEAKING OF HEDGES
BY LIMA 3. ROSE.


More and more the hedge is coming
into its own. For miles and miles
along the New Jersey coast, reaching
from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt,
Is the most continuous stretch of
country homes in America. Million
aires, near-milllonaires, people with
money and people who are merely COM
Portable have made this region show
place of never-ending interest. There
are more millionalres among the home
owners Of this one spot than the en-
tire realm of England holds.
They have discarded the fence al
most entirely and mile after mile Of
privet comes into view as one motors
along the smooth, beautifully kept
ronds.
There are also, in the Pacific region,
hedges Of geraniums five feet high,
hedges of Gala lilies and Of roses, but
the substantial, serviceable evergreen
hedge is the last word for elegance and
utility. and the New Jersey coast Of
fers the best possible field for its
study.
Here is how the landscape garden
ers OF this section handle the plants
Before the plants are brought to the
ground quantity of top soil is pro
cured for the purpose of filling in
about the roots. They need lots OF
moisture to keep tliem healthy and to
mnlntain the rich green color. Then
the transplanting is done In the spring
and the plants are handled with care
10 prevent the roots from being dried
Out by the wind.
The evergreens that run from IL t.
a inches are set from to IL inches
apart. The larger plants can be placed
with 1S-lnch intervals.
In order that the evergreens may b,
hushy, they are. pruned when planted
and this makes the subsequent shaping
Of the hedge easy. The spring time Il
taken for the pruning, because th'
plants are then resuming their growtl
and the process finds its best results.
Starting at the beginning. the frs
\, thing TO do is to dig a trench Wild
enough not to cramp the roots, so tina
they can spread fiat and not touch tn
sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stabl
manure is worked in the trench witt
the soil. After the planting a coatinI
Of manure is placed on the surface o
the soil, covering all Of the earth tina
has been disturbed. This mulch is lef
In place for year, and is then usual
" worked into the soil. ...I
Where double-row hedges are re
qulred the plants are set in rows ST
to nine inches apart and the plant
from Q to 16 inches apart in the row
The whole eastern coast is begir
ming to show the effect Of hedge Gu
ture. Newport, the queen Of sunme
resorts, Long Island and all Of the otl
sr show regions are literally marke
with the natural substitute for th
fences.

JAPANESE NAPLES

One can go a long way and do worse
than to pick the Japanese maple for
ornamental effect. The. elegance of the
tree, its rich coloring and it's decorative
value cannot be overestimated.
~ One should always take care to give
the maple sunny position to fully de-
velop its rich coloring. In the spring
and summer it should be literally wa
tered. .g.
1t is important to keep the soil loose
about the base of the trees and under
no circumstances should the pruning
knife be applied.

Promotion means increase of pay,
and money to him spelled only disas-
ter. He had been in two regiments of
the line-he told me the names of
both. He had fought in South Africa,
but he had no medals to show. So we
left him in the ranks-the best soldier
and the bravest man in the whole COM
pany. He died very gallantly last Oc-
tober, during a bombing attack in the
salient at Ypres. Nothing in his life
became him like the leaving of it.

for an entertainment. They had three
elegant prizes to be awarded.
For what, you ask.
Bridge? ..-
No.
These women of the aristocracy of
money came together, each bearing a
little basket, to compete for the prizes
that were given for the best arranged
basket of flowers that had been grown
by the woman who arranged the hand
basket.
All of the money commanded by peO-
pie who consider one with mere mil
lion poor, could not provide these wom-
en- with n pleasure that the poorest
child of the log cabin cannot enjoy.
What child is there in the land who
cannot pick and arrange a bunch of
pOsies with as much freedom as the
wealthiest of these grand danes?
1 think it a good idea. Why not
have little contests at which the taste
and good judgment of the members Of
each little circle of a community will
be tested by the arrangement of flow
ers?
One need not award cut glass and
silver prizes. There can be just as
much rivalry and competition where
the prize is but a ribbon. And when
the award Is made the committee that
judges the prizes ought to be made to
tell exactly why one bouquet or basket
is better arranged than another. The
members should say in what respect
one set of flowers is better grown than
another.
Thus will be established an inter
| change of ideas as to the growing OF
plants and flowers and the artistic sen
sibilities of each contestant will be de
veloped while the stock of general in
formation will be improved.
Flowers are the true democrats
They are as sweet for the pauper al
for the prince. There is absolutely NJ
bar to a study of their beauties and
would like to know that in a millioI
homes the example of this rich coteri,
on Long island is being followed to tn,
profit of other people and to the bet
ter production of the pretty things o
life.
