why TOMATO PLANTS WlTHER
These Raised In Cold Frame Are Lees
Hardy Than Those Grown In
0pen-North Wind Hurts.

Frequently 1t Is found By those who
start tomato plants In cold frame
that the blossoms which appear 90
thrifty and which give such promise
Of future returns wither and drop from
the plant a few days after the latter IL
transplanted to the open field. Conse-
quently a new set Of blossoms must
be developed and the plants lose all
advantage that was theirs In the way
Of an early start.
There may be two reasons for this.
Plants raised In a cold frame are
necessarily less hardy than those
grown In the open. II the weather
happens to be sufnciently mild for
two or three days after the trans
planting occurs the plant will adapt
itself to the change. But II the wind
veers about into the north or north
west and there Is a marked drop In
temperature the shock Is too great
and the blossoms 60. Experienced
growers watch for what they antici-
pate viii be q settled spell Of spring
weather-even delaying the removal of
their plants to the open for q week OF
ten days beyond the time they feel
the change should occur. IN order q
avoid loss Of blossuma.

WAR GARDENS FOR EVERYONE
SuppIies Are Needed for Armies Fight
Ina for Brotherhood and Peace,
Gays Dean WoodG .

Every family should have its, own
garden this year. ITO do so will be to
release supplies for the armies that
are fighting for brotherhood and
peace" says Dean A, F. Woods Of the
Minnesota College Of Agriculture.
ITO hasten the close Of the war, !"
adds Dean Woods, I'VE must feed the
people in the armies. The farmers are
doing everything possible and the peo-
pie Of the towns should assist by
avoiding waste and extravagance.
They should make gardens not only in
their back yards. but in their front
yards as well, and on vacant lots
They should organize garden clubs, In
Guiding women and children, and
grow enough to supply their needs moi
only through the summer, but through
the winter. They can do this by In
tensive effort" ........
Dean Woods urges boys and girls
clubs, Boy Scouts, teachers, preachers
and Al public-spirited citizens to leat
In this work.

CURIOUS CLUBS.
The Man Killers, Their Cheerful Talk
 and Fitting Fate.

Tho Man Killers, Their Cheerful Talk
 and Fitting Fate.
 One of the oldest purely social clubs was the Everlasting club, limited in membership to hundred people, who divided the day among them in such a way that some of them were always on the premises. Solely for the pur- pose of keeping up the fire from which members lighted their pipes an old woman was kept, and during the fifty years of existence the club members smoked fifty tons of tobacco.
 No one who had not killed an op. ponent in duel was allowed to be a member of the Man killing club, where the conversation was confined to wounds, bullets and slaughter Curi- ously enough, most of the members were executed.
 Very different in character was the Six O'Clock club, whose members, num- bering six only, met at 6 in the even ing and separated at 6 in the morning.
 Meeting early in the evening and sitting smoking until midnight. the curious people forming the Humdrum club observed the strictest silence.
 But perhaps the most curious club of all was the No Nose club, which was founded by. an unwilling follower of the Egyptian fashion of flat faces. London Telegraph.

LYRIC

Manager Isham showed he knew what he was doing when he selected .sThe Suuaw Man" as the play to in- troduce his new leading man, Alfred Cross tof the theatregoers of Bridge port. Miss Frances McGrath as Nat ur-ich an Indian girl, gave very carefully and artistic performance. Alfred Cross. the new leading man of the Lyric Stock Company was thoroughly convincing as Jim Cars ton. Miss Luella Mercy as Diana wynnegate gave splendid perform ance and wore some charming gowns.
 Others m the cast who gave cap- able performances were: Walter Mar shall, Albert Gebhardt, William Evarts, Harvey Hayes Ethel paggett. Frank g. Peck, Daddy Bass, James F. Ayers and others. The production received careful and admirable di- recting byAR. G.. Edwardes, the cap able stage director of the Lyric and the scenery was realistic.
 The story deals with two great sac- rifices, that of a man for his cousin, who has embedded the funds of an English charity fund, and that of an Indian maid, who rather than see her white, husband unhappy. kills herself that he may wed the woman he loves.

Salvage Ship, in Gale,
 Is Believed To Be Lost

Victoria, B. C.. Feb. 2O-The sal wage tug Pilot, which was engaged in saving the steamship Sesostris off Ocos, Guatemala, has not been sight ed since she left Salina Cruz, Mexico, Feb. 1. and is believed by the owners
 here to have foundered with all hands. The Pilot, which is owned by the British Columbia Salvage Go. Of Victoria, left here last summer with a party of salvage experts, the object being to float the former Kosmos liner Sesostris, for nine years em- bedded in the sand at Ocos. Con- siderable work was accomplished and the Pilot departed for Selina Cruz for additional supplies. After leaving Salina Cruz the Pilot ran into heavy gale and is supposed to have been wrecked. The run. from Salina Cruz to Ocos usually requires only 22 hours. Capt. Birss, Second Engineer Peterson and Fireman Mclaughlin, all of Victoria, were on the tug, the rest of the crew being Spanish Americans.

CROOKED, BUT FAMOUS.
Washington Street, Boston, One of th'
 Worlds Great Thoroughfares.

Washington Street, Boston, One of the
 WorId's Great Thoroughfares.
 Washington street in Boston is one of the great thoroughfares of Amer lea, worthy to rank with Broadway in New York and Michigan avenue in Chicago. Like nearly everything else in Boston, 1t has a history of almost incredible length and responsibility, making other streets seem painfully young and callow and crude.
 Moreover, Washington street is one of the longest in the world, running all the way through Boston and on to another town without stop or break. This is not accomplished without many bend and meander, however, for Washington street is amazingly crook ed, as are nearly all the thoroughfares of Puritan origin, It seems that the Mayflower party did not realize how big Boston was going to be-, and so they carelessly let the cows lay out the streets as they wandered home ward.
 Washington street today does not look like an aristocrat of ancient. lin- cage, however. On the contrary, it ap- pears decidedly democratic, swarming with all sorts of people who jostle and push each other on the narrow, overfowing sidewalks in the brilliant glare of numerous electric signs that flash the rival merits of moving pie ture shows, bars and cafes.-Exchange.

Persia's Great Superstition.


 The greatest superstition in Persia is what is known as the "evn eye.' You must not say to some one whom you meet, How well you are lookingv' for if you do. and that person is taken ill it will be because you gave him the evil eye. You must not say to moth CT, "Whati pretty baby!' ''What a bright childr' for if you do and any, thing unfortunate happens to the child you will be considered responsible. Many mothers let the children go dirty and poorly clothed in order that they may not attract favorable attention. The sign which is thought to have some power to avert the evil eye consists in holding the second and third fingers of both hands close to the palms with the thumbs, while the other fingers are ex- tended straight out. Then, with the hands behind you, you make down. ward movement three times.

WALKING ON HUDSON BOTTOM
(New York Sum-

(New York sum- Fighting berracudas and tapping sharks on the nose is just child's play
 to Tom Barry, master diver, but when lit came to tackling the Hudson River in the winter time he had to give up. At that Tom might have walked over the river bed to Jersey, as he intended to do when he started, if he hadn't left his mittens behind, but the lack of those mittens nearly proved a trag- |edy.
 Barry is one of the divers who
 worked under water to make the film of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
 the Sea-, and before that he was a
 diver in the navy. So when it was
 suggested to him that one might walk to Jersey under water he fell right in
 with the idea and showed up at the
 foot of 1S8th street and the Hudson yesterday with his suit and lots of nonchalence. The suit stayed with him, but the noncha1anee left after about Is minutes of souslng around i among the ice cakes. He struggled into his suit and got
 all ready with the exception of the
 mittens4 He wouldn't bother with them because he didn't have time, he said. But when he got out in the pat
 ent suit that holds caustic soda and oxygen and things to make a lifeline and airline unnecessary he found that his hands speedily got so cold they wouldn't work. Finally while in about 20 feet of water his numbed fingers gave the oxygen valve too big a turn, { the suit swelled up and he f1oated to | the surface on his back, looking per- fectly silly and helpless and a bit wor-
 ried.
 That would have been all right if one of his amateur helpers hadn't got
 rattled and opened the plate on the
 front of his helmet The oxygen
 rushed out and his 175 pounds of equipment started for the bottom of the Hudson. Parry managed to get the plate closed and then he was left without any air at all.
 s'It felt just as if somebody had hold of my lungs and was squeezing them .,
 he said later and he began to get faint and saw visions of landing on
 the bottom and staying there. Those on shore saw his hands waving about
 in the water as he opened and closed
 them, struggling to make them work against the icy paralysis, and then he
 managed to get one hand down to his
 oxygen valve and open it just bit so
 that enough of the life giving gas
 rushed into his lungs to keep him
 conscious until he was hauled ashore
 He was pretty sickly looking diver
 for a time, but after drink of brandy
 he feebly got out of his suit and an-
 nounced that he would try it again
 with a helper that knew his business
 And next time he won't forget his init tens.

Struggle of the Rivers.

The discovery that there is kind of struggle for. existence and survival of the fittest among rivers is one of the most interesting results of the modern study of physiography. A notable ex- ample of this contest is exhibited by England's two biggest rivers, the Thames and the Severn. Between their valleys lie the Cotswold hills, and exploration shows that the Severn by eating backward among these hills where softer strata underlie them has diverted to itself some of the headwa- ters which formerly flowed into the Thames.
