HEINE's PROPHETIC POEM

(Heinrich Heine was driven out OF
Germany on account Of his hostility
to Prussianism. In one of his poems
now almost forgotten, he made a
prophecy. Louis aUntermeyer's trans
lation of THE Weavers." which ap-
peared in a book, 1925 Poems by
Heine," to be issued by Henry Holt
& Co.. is as follows:l
From darkened eyes no tears are fall
ing;
Crashing our teeth, we sit here calling
Germany, listen ere we dispense,
We weave your shroud with a triple
curse
We weave, we are weaving!
"a curse to the false god that we
prayed to
And worshipped in spite Of all, and
We waited and hoped and suffered in
vain:
He laughed at us. sneering. for all of
We weave. we are weaving!
"a curse to the king, and curse to
his coffin,
The rich mans king whom our plight
could not soften;
Who took our last penny by taxes
and cheats.
And let us be shot like dogs in the
street
We weave, We are weaving!
"a curse to the Fatherland, whose
face is
Covered with lies and foul disgraces;
Where the bud is crushed as it leaves
the seed,
And the worm grows fat on corrup-
ton and greed
We weave, We are weaving!"

Timely Hints for the Home Gardener
(corn. Tomatoes and EsspIant.)

be brought to the blooming period by
the time 1t is warm enough to plant
them with safety in the garden. II
the plants are not to be trained, but
allowed to lie on the ground. they
should be set about four feet apart
each way. If trimmed and tied to
stakes they may be planted in rows
three feet apart and eighteen inches
apart in the row.
In common with all plants grown in
house. hotbed. or cold frame. toma-
toes require to be hardened off before
planting in the garden. BY this
process the plants are gradually
acclimated to the effects Of the sun
and wind. so that they will stand
Hardening off is usually accomplished
by ventilating freely and by reducing
the amount of water applied to the
plant bed. The bed. however, should
not become so dry that the plants will
wilt or become seriously checked in
their growth. After a few days IL
will be possible to leave the plants
on mild nights.
Eggplant is started and handled in
the same way as the tomato. 1t is,
perhaps. less widely known, but Is
rapidly becoming a popular vegetable,
The soil best adapted for its produce
ton is a fine, rich sandy loan, well
drained. The plants should be set in
rows three feet apart and two feet
apart in the row. Free cultivation 10
desirable and the plants should be
kept growing rapidly. On the other
hand. many growers believe that fresh
stable manure should not be used for
eggplants. and that the land should
not contain unfermented vegetable
matter to any large extent. A dozen
good healthy plants should supply en-
ough for the average sized family
throughout the season.

Washington. d. c., March 23.-Sweet
corn, to be at its best. should be eaten
within a few hours after il is picked,
for its sugar content disappears very
rapidly after it is removed from the
garden. For this reason and because
of its very general popularity. it is an
excellent vegetable to grow in the
home garden. 1t should be planted on
rich land and cultivated in the same
manner as field corn. Beginning as
soon as the soil is warm. successive
paintings may be made every two or
three weeks until late summer. An
other method of prolonging the supply
is to plant early. medium. and late
varieties. The seed should be plant
ed about two inches deep. in drills
three feet apart. and thinned to a
single stalk every ten to fourteen
inches.
The varieties recommended by the
specialists in the United States De-
partment of Agriculture are: For
early corn Golden Bantam and Adams
Early, and for medium and late
varieties Black Mexican or. Crosby's
Early. Country Gentleman, and
Stowells Evergreen. The last-named
variety has the largest ears and is
the most productive.
; Sweet corn should be planted on
rich land. The cultivation should be
frequent and thorough. and all weeds
should be kept down and suckers re-
moved from around the base Of the
plant.
Another favorite vegetable is the
tomato. which now forms one Of the
most important of our garden crops
In the north. it is very desirable to
start the plants in house or a hot
bed, and to transplant them once or
twice in order to secure strong and
vigorous plants by the time all danger
from frost is past. Potgrown plants
are especially desirable and they may

MAKING IT PLAIN

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept ssextracts" of cod liners think
ing they viii get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver OIL -
The difference is very great. An
s'emulsion" contains real cod Ivey oil,
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract" is a
product which contains 40 oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scots Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod liner OF,
skilfully blended with glycerine and
hypophosphites. SCOTS Is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
dursed By good physicians everywhere.

Right Marked Changes
BY a sister.

who get most joy from the sport agree
that it is played to much better advan-
tage when appropriate clothes are
worn. Knockers add greatly to the
golfers comfort and the especially
CONSTRUCTED coat with a pivot sleeve is
free from the binding of arm and
shoulder which hampers the players
stroke in coat of ordinary cut.
Wool stockings are far more, COM
Portable for any sport than other ma
terials and long ribbed stocking to
be worn with knickers is priced at
$1.50.
Flannel and silk Shirts.
French flannel shirts and combina-
tions of silk and wool are growing
in popularity for every form of out
ing wear, the soft collar, too, in pique,
soft linen and corded silk accompanies
it. Silk in new varieties of stripes
will endear themselves to masculinity
as striped silks have for several sea-
sons past. Stripes in madras, inclin-
ing to conservative rather than bold
effects, characterize cotton shirts.
Knitted ties are very strong again;
four hand cravats have not changed
to any extent. These in foulards and
basket weaves will be good for sum-
mer and the bow ties return for their
annual season of favor with the low
collar and soft shirt.
Tan Shoes Hold Sway.
In shoes tan Russia calf and Cardo-
va laather Of dark mahogany shade
are exceedingly smart both in Oxfords
and English last walking boots. The
prediction is that black will be little
worn for summer save on dress occa-
sions.
Soft hats for some time past have
shorn away Derby,s laurels. 1t comes
back to its own this spring stronger
than for several seasons past. Its
renewed favor is due perhaps to it's
shape this spring for the derby crown
is low again making a hat easier to
wear and vastly more becoming to
most faces than the high crown.
