During the early Spring it is de-
lightful to have something growing
in the house or in the schoolroom to
interest little boys and girls in what
is going to happen very soon out
doors.
If father or the older boys in the
manual training shop will make a
rectangular box with glass sides, line
the bottom with zinc, and have a
glass cover which may be opened
slightly to let in the air, the children
will have a fine little conservatory of
their own. Put about four inches of
rich soil in the bottom of the box and
either plant or transplant into the
soil some bits of growing life. For
example, buy small COCO palm, some
holly fern, a ptesis, any begonia ex-
cept the Rex begnoia, and small as
paragus fern, letting the last named
trail along the soil of the little green
house. The earth should be kept
moist, and the box set in the sun
light, preferably in sunny window
The cover should be raised little

during the day to allow the air to
enter, but not wide enough to permit
too much of the water within the little
green house to evaporate.
If it is impossible to Luy suitable
plants, and it might be in some places,
plant in the soil some seeds of conf
mon geraniums, of beans, oats, corn
and some of sweet alyssum. These
seeds will sprout quickly, and while
the grains will not last long, the lit
tie geraniums and sweet alyssum will
last long time.
If you live in the country where
woods are close by, then get some
moss from underneath the leaves and
some hepatica plants and put these
in the small greenhouse. You may use
large fish bowl for the purpose, but
the box with the zinc bottom is really
a better arrangement. Any child will
take a great deal of joy and pleasure
in having a little conservatory of this
kind, and will also take greater in
terest in working in the outdoor gar
den because of this experience.

shelves protected with a door, o.

| All portable closets have bail-bear
ing castors so they may be readily
moved, and the taller ones are almost
always built in two sections which
fit together with pegs and holes
They fit together so perfectly there
is no danger of their having rickety
tendency which would endanger theil
contents.
All the old closets we're built Of
hardwood, variously polished ant
vanished with elaborate hinges
knobs, handles and locks which
formed the decorative finish. Those
in bright brass and in Dutch or Japa

to keep them up to the right standard
of brilliancy.
Unusual New Types
Modern closets are carried out in
plain yellow pine, well seasoned and
filled, then they are painted and deco
rated to fit the rooms in which they
are to be used, Some are painted in
black and ornamented with designs
of fruit, flowers, figures or scenic
panels, in natural colors. Others are
painted in Chinese red, vanished to a
high polish, and the decorations are
of Chinese design and are worked OUT
in gold with black shadows. Elabor-
ate metal hinges are used on this type
of closet and are very attractive.
Other closets done in other wood
are simply sand papered, filled and
vanished to bring out their natural
wood grain Still others are painted
in futurist fashion, shaded blue and
green swirling into definite design
at certain points where a meremaid,
a fish or a human figure works itself
distinctly into view, coloiful but ultra
modern in school,
Everyone is conscious of the charm
of the octagonal room and a bit of
the charm may be brought into a
square room by cutting off two of its
corners with portable corner closets,
a third corner being disguised by a
riangular-shaped tea table, or serv-
ing table, built with three center
drawers reaching the floor The table,
of course, like the closets, matching
the woodwork in the room, black, with
yellow walls, for instance, or some
other contrast.

What Makes You
Want to Stretch

The necessity or desire to stretch
comes to us because certain parts OF
the body are not receiving the proper
amount of blood circulation and it is
these parts that we stretch at such
times.
If you have even been to a ball
game, you know, of course, that it has
become customary for the crowd, no
matter how large, to stretch its legs
and arms during the last half of the
seventh inning. In fact that has come
to be a fixture at ball games and is
universally known as the stretch
inning"
Now, it is not so much the result of
a desire to encourage the home team
as the natural following out of ma
lures laws that originally started
this practice. The end of the seventh
inning at a ball game generally
means that the crowd has been sitting
quite still for the greater part of an
hour and half, just long enough for
the circulation to become poor in
parts of the body, and the custom of
stretching at ball game thus comes
from the necessity of getting a little
more speed into the action of the
heart to increase the blood supply.
In other words, the stretching con-
stitutes mild form of exercise. You
will notice the ball players them
selves do not stretch in the last half
of the seventh inning. They are get
ting enough exercise without that.
1t is natural, however, for us to
stretch as we wake up from sleep
after having lain quietly in one posi-
ton for one or more hours. 1t is
natures way of causing the heart to
work faster-F'rom the Book of Won

Borders for Gardens

The best, place for hardy border
is against wall, or along walk,
leaving a space of grass between.
To make a new border, remove the
sod and soil to a depth of about two
feet When refilling, put layer Of
clinkers or small stones in the bot
tom for drainage; then, sods, face
down, or leaves. After that, mix
chopped sod coarse fertilizer and inch
bone, and fill in few inches from
the top. The top layer should be
fine garden loan, with a depth of
about five inches.
Flower beds for ANIMALS are more
easily made, as it is only necessary to
remove about six inches of the top
soil and fill in fertilizer, mixing with
the soil underneath.
A small bed of Eyerbearing straw
berries is a profitable investment for
the home garden. Select place
where we'll fortified vegetables were
grown the previous year. Have your
bed all ready before the plants ar

other. Keep the blossoms pinched

Pure Blood Chicks

Even with his poor start he was

the 100 pure blood chicks have

his scrub cocks, except for meat. Mr.
