Toasting.

For the social creature who aspires
to prominence and popularity at the
convivial board there are books and
books of clever toaStS. But they do
not tell us why we call these compli-
mentary little speeches "toasts;" nor
why the subject of them is toasted,
or called the toast" But history
that sheds light into the remotest cor
ners has preserved a rich tale.
When glasses were goblets and wine
was drunk out of cups, toast" was
just what it is today-bread toasted.
And no old-time goblet of wine was
complete without it's floating piece of
toast which was supposed to give the
drink a flavor. So, instead of saying
II drink to thee" it was II toast thee
or "a toast to thee"

To make a bathtub that has

soak flannel in kerosene and
rub well over the entire surface.
In few minutes the crust that
has been left on from time to
time will diappear. This meth
cd is specially good where the
water is hard. If this is done
each time after the bath has
been used, it will always have a
bright, new appearance, and the
enamel or paint will not suffer.
Cucumber peel has been found
to be very efficacious in ridding
the house of cockroaches. It
should be scattered round the

the peel, which to them acts
like a poison.

This plebiscite was never held and the
fact that the two have remained un-
der the control Of Chill without such
vote being taken for all these years
has always been a source of bitter
feeling between the two countries.
Naturally if a plebiscite is held now
the vote will be overwhelmingly in
favor of Chill as she has. without
doubt, Systematically driven out the
greater part Of the Peruvian popula-
tion.
AS near as I can find out the best
way out of this old controversy would
be for Bolivia to receive the disputed
territory. She would thus gain
much-needed outlet to the sea and at
the same time act as a buffer between
Peru and Chili-who are about as
friendly as France and Germany.

Tulips.

The display of tulips around the
Capitol seems to grow more wonder
full every year. This year II is a
trumpet blast in color, delightfully."-
echoed in gardens all over the city.
Whether it is improvements in the
breeding of tulips, or merely the ever
swelling numbers of the gay armies
of these flowers, they are certainly
the victory parade of Washington S
Spring.
1t is strange to think that the tulip
does not really belong to us, so much
part of our gardens has it grown,
but 1t comes to us from over the
water. Not even Holland can boast
the paternity, for tulips did not reach
that country till about 1900. They
came originally from Asia Minor and
Persia, and like the lilac and horse
chestnut, were first brought to Eu-
rope by the Austrian Ambassador at
Constantinople.
The Turks seemed to have pre-
ferred the red and yellow tulips with
narrow petals, and at first this kind
was the only sort grown, though the
round faced Dutchman selected by
preference the round -petalled types.
Soon, however. the popular taste in
tulips grew sophisticated and craved

those that produced strange new

various gorgeous splashes, and all the
shades of mauve. lilac, rose, purple,
and even the famous black tulips.
The marvellous Jagged kind, called
Parrot" was early developed by
horticulturalists and sold for hun
dreds of dollars a bulb.
Today the despised simple red and
yellow tulips have returned to favor.
They form the flower of those bright
armies that now besiege the Capitol
with f1uttering banners.
Nowadays there are tulips for every
taste-doubles and parrots and
bizarres for those who love fantastic
shapes, Darwins for those who like
pastel colors, and the plain old fash
ioned cottage tulips for the simple of
heart who like the strong gay colors
and well known forms

N THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK


grow on the Poetic coast and in Eng
land, too!'
Mr.. Burbank answered:
Both the redwood and the Seuuoia
Gigantea are tender as compared with
most of the pines, the spruces and the
cedars, and it is all a matter of eli
mate. But although some of these
trees do not really thrive as far north
as central New York, yet they have
proved hardy in the region of Wash
ington, D. c., and they may be grown
along the Atlantic coast south of
Washington.
The redwood grows with great
rapidity, and, of course, requires a
good deal of room; both varieties are
raised from seed, and the redwood
from cuttings as well, but seedlings
are not very abundant in the dense
forests, as the loose soil, with its
porous coverings of needles, does not
make favorite place for them to root
easily"
The student gardener said, with a
certain convictions:
This lesson Is going to halt right
here-the subject of sequoias is too
interesting to pass over rapidly. First,
what is the difference in the two
trees?"
Mr.. Burbank explained:
"One is the Sequoia gigantea, the
well known big tree" and the other
is the Sequoia sempervirens. known
as the redwood. This redwood Is re-
garded as a variation of the gigantea,
and this variation is supposed to have
taken place in comparatively recent
times, speaking geologically.
'The redwood has fiat and broader
foliage, a narrower, less compact
form than its cousin, the gigantea,
and thrives best in a lower altitude,
nearer the seacoast. The big tree"
on the other hand, loves the noun
tains and grows best in sheltered
valleys over 1000 feet above sea level,
and sometimes near the snow line"
