The first reaches of the Tigris were
beautiful. The river was broad and
swept along in graceful curves. Its
banks were deeply lined with luxuriant
date palms, each with a necklace of
glistening, golden fruit. But barren
wastes lie 300 yards behind them.
Tigris sunsets are wonderful. Old
campaigners say that they are second
only to those of Egypt. An admirer
of a Tigris landscape and sunset would
think of spice winds and balmy
breezes. The native Arab says, "God
made hell and found it was not bad
enough, so he made Mesopotamia-and
added flies"

WORKING IN THE SHADE
BY ELIZABETH VAN RENTHUYsEN

BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN
There is hardly garden plot of any
size that does not possess some spot
that resembles the back of an elderly
bachelors head when the hair has
started to point toward the advisable
ty Of purchasing toupe. Always one
finds these bald spots under the shade
of trees or where the sun has little
chance to make it's influence felt.
It is what might be called a "back
yard" effect, because re shady nook
Is peculiarly the property of the back
yard. Early in the morning and late
In the afternoon the sun takes peep
under the branches of the trees. At
other times the umbrellalike big fel-
lows keep the ground free from the
life-making rays.
Early in the spring, before the leaves
come, the bare spots are sure to have
some sun. That is the signal to plant
bulbs in the autumn so as to be ready
for the sun. By scattering crocus bulbs
and letting them fall as they will, one
gets better effect than by carefully
arranging them in rows While tulips,
narcissus, white, lavender and yellow
crocuses and some native growths that
are almost of the weed family may be
utilized
The fever-few will stand the winter
and will seed itself. 1t begins to bloom
during the month of June. Foxglove,
monkshood and larkspur are also
among the possibilities for the bald
| place. And then there are hollydocks
and almost any of the lily family.

It is always necessary to plan for
| the garden during the days when the
weather and the cold blasts make il
impossible to work out of doors. A lit
tie study of the possibilities during the
idle weeks will prepare the amateur
for campaign in the open that will
get astonishing results.
Of course, one should have i'm
pressed the fact that it is not possible
to accomplish everything at once. A
simple, well-studied program, taking
into. consideration the kind of plants
with which the best results are OBJ
tained in your particular section, i.

If the worker knows just exactly il

execution of the plans becomes more {
matter of pleasure than of toll.

isn't a spot of any size in any section
that cannot be made to show artist,

lgent study is given to it's improve
ment-and the proper amount of stud,
Is precious little.
The main thing is to decide to d.

a correspondent of the Chicago Daily
News in describing a trip up the an

tains on the river. He navigates his
ship from q bridge incased with steel
nrmor which is bullet-spattered in sew
eral places. In the old days sandbags
were piled four deep along the rails
of the ships to protect crafts against
Arab snipers. 1t has been some
months since there was serious snip
ing along the river. The Arabs found
that it paid better to sell eggs and
fresh chickens.
Six officers and myself shared the

The cities and people of the East,

from peasant to king apparently have
been put under the microscope this
season by designers of trimmings in
order to bedeck milady in manner

remarkable for their >colorings, beauty

been worked out in several ways, not
the least being in hand embroideries,
while wool, silk and wool, and beaded
decorations embodying the designs and
colorings of India, Egypt and other
Eastern countries are offered in great
abundance. A great variety of novel
tassels is offered to buyers also. Many
of them make use of Eastern design

CULTURE OF CINERARIAS
Bv C. GEOERX.

In the culture Of the cineraria the
one mistake so often made l., that of
sowing the seed too soon. The plants
thus raised, more often than not, make
a rank growth this is not in any sense
desirable. By sowing in May or June,
plants large enough for all decorative
purposes can be had. In after treat
ment the aim should be to secure as
hardy a growth as possible.
Cineraria is one of the most useful
and ornamental of plants, with flower
of the richest and most brilliant colors
and shades and of the finest textures
For succession, it is well to make
sowings of the seed from May to Sep
tember, but the main sowing in July
The cineraria is a very fine plant for
the conservatory and for house decor
alton. The coloring of this plant en-
dears it to growers there are the love
ly and rare cornf1ower-blue tints in pro
fusion, rich crimson and blood red in
many varieties, deep rose and shell
pink; and a wonderful combination O.
pink and light-blue shades. There
also a lovely single pure white va
riety that is worth considering for you'
all-white bed.

in summer are called fish eaters."l
They migrate to the hills in winter to
escape the floods, but return to their
bits of river lands in the spring. We
saw scores of families standing waist
deep in the river hauling out bony,
wiggly fish as fast as they could bait
their hooks with bits of dough. The
children seem to live in a perpetual
state of bathing. They have a strong
aversion to clothes of any description
and are less dirty than their parents
because they have not lived as long.
1t is now date-picking time, and those
natives who are not fishing may be
found at the top of date trees suspend
ed by rope slings similar to those used
by coconut pickers.
Late in the afternoon we passed the
new mouth of the Euphrales. A few
years ago this river got tired of its
mouth at Kurna and cut a new one a
few miles north of Basra. 1t is said
that in few years the mouth at Kur-
ma will become hardly more than a
canal. The Euphrates water is a sui
phuric white, while the Tigris water is
now comparatively clear.

white troops returning from hospitals
to their units at the front. The bags
of rice and flour comprising the car
goes of the barges fastened on either
side of our steamer formed couches for
several hundred native troops. We
spread our camp beds, camp tables
and collapsible chairs, hung porous wa
ter jugs on the ships rail, so that the
hot wind would cool the water in the
jug by evaporating the moisture which
seeped through, and settled down for
our term of agony.

The ideal soil for growing sweet peas

Diet, Exercise or Death

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of thick
ening of the arteries or of kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles. rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
of outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water. frequently. Before meals take a
little Anuric, the great uric acid neu-
trailer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains. in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which Dr. Pierce of Buffalo,
n. Y, discovered and named Anuric.
Anuric, more potent than Ethia, dissolyes
uric acid as hot water does sugar."

Good Sleepers,

Learning to sleep well is learning
to live well. But it does not follow
that the good sleepers are necessarily
good people or that they know how to
live. Good sleepers are to be found
among those who break the laws of
morals and of health. They have the
gift. Whether they will be able to
keep it through their lives is a ques-
ton. The effects of their lawbreaking
may suddenly overtake them and the
ravages may weaken their sleeping ca
pacity. In the depths of consciousness
there is often a rebellion of the mind
that is none the less persistent be-
cause it is silent and that may sud
denly break out into revolution.

ceIery's Many Virtues.

There is but little enlightenment af-
forded in the everyday culinary liter
ature on the many uses of that deli
cious plant known as celery. Proba-
bly, no other plant is so well adapted
to cooking in so many different styles
as celery, a vegetable that can also
be eaten raw.
There Is harry any other vegetable
of which every part can be brought to
such good account. The trimmings
can be used for fiavoring purposes, or
for soup and broth, while the seeds are
carefully preserved for similar uses,
or to produce celery salt, which in it
self forms an ideal table condiment.

Price of the Times,

Because of the scarcity of paper
the London Times has raised it's price
to four cents. One hundred years ago,
in the taxation following Waterloo, 1t
was IA cents, equal to 40 cents now.
Poor men did not read it; most of
them then could not read anything; it
was "taken in" at public houses and
by the wealthy. The price dropped,
as the newspaper tax was lowered and
finally removed, to six cents in 1861,
and stayed there 80 years. Its fluctu-
