Flower Talks

There are hundreds of both orchid lowered and grandiflora varieties of sweet peas, many of which are practi- cally alike and still others which lack either fragrance, purity of color, vigor or some other characteristic which all first-class varieties should have
 How to Grow Sweet Peas
 The soil for sweet peas should be rich and deep. A good, rich loam. with plenty of well routed manure in it is the ideal soil for raising good plants plants that will produce an abun- dance of blossoms of good substance. They should be in such a position that they will be fully exposed to the sum light and air on both sides of the row
 Seed should be sown as early in the season as the ground can be worked. They can be planted as soon as Octo- Der, but as a rule they are not planted in this vicinity until about February or March. It is best to make a trench or furrow about 12 inches deep. Fill the trench with plenty of well rotted manure bone meal and good rich soil, well mixed together, then make your drill or row in this trench. about inches deep Plant the seed and cover with about or inches of soil As soon as they are above ground, thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart, when planted too close they do not attain their full development

outside sat the natives dressed in a '"whspy bit of rag" Some of the belles were all bundled up in a breach clout and a nose ring. They squatted around outside and nearly laughed themselves into mysteries. Although they might have been mentally cal culating the number of rib steaks that could be carved from the persons of some of the Keystone queens for a cannibal feast, they didn't say so.
 They caught all the points and fair ly howled with laughter. It speaks pretty well for the universal qualities of Keystone fun when the captain of a warship and the king of a cannibal camp can laugh over the same joke.

FISHING CAT IN MICKEY"

l Mack Sennett likes to use animals in pictures. In Miss Normand's new play Mickey two cats are used to bring
 out a strikingly dramatic contrast in the story.
 l One is a lean. scrawny frog hunter who
 rustles for his grub in the mountain cabin
 where Mickey lived with her foster father.
 i One of the ''close-ups" of the picture shows this cat actually fishing for frogs | in a mountain stream. It will attract lattention, not only as a picture, but as | a nature study.
 l If anyone were to write a magazine story about cat that went fishing, some professor of natural history would begin I to shriek nature fake!' but they will |; have to believe what their eyes see. This old feline ragamuffin sneaks out I to the' waters edge. A paw suddenly flashes out with the speed of snake striking and the frog Is hooked They found this cat in the California mountains where they went to film Miss Normand in some of the scenes from Mickey" The old miner whose cabin they used told them that the eat learned to fish from being left alone for days at time in the cabin, He had to hustle for his food or starve. He hustled. Nature men would probably call this a reversion to type. In their jungle days, before they became domesticated, cats undoubtedly were fishers. So nat ural history will say that this cat did not learn how to fish; it remembered how to fish. It took up the heritage Of a savage past.
 Afterward the scene of Mickey is shifted to a luxurious home in the city where poor little Mickey finds the go- ing hard and sorrowful Here, there is another cat-a soft, silky
 Persian aristocrat, pampered like prirna
 donna Nothing could more strlkingly illustrate the change. in 'Mickey's'' en-
 vironment than these two cats.
