IN THE GARDEN WITH BURBANK
AS Elizabeth

first selection of them was by observ-
ing the character of the leaf and stem.
Seedlings and fruit trees that after
ward produce the largest and finest
fruit are found TO have leaves that are
large, glossy, thick and dark green
with prominent buds and generally
with upright branches of large, short
jointed wood. Those that are worth
less have small, knotted, twisted wood,
small buds with wooliy leaves and
rambling tendency of growth.
While exceptions, of course, exist,
these differences in the relation of foil
age and fruit will serve as the most
useful guides in first selections"
What are the qualities of the Chi
nese and Japanese quinces?" / asked.
The American ounce is descended
from European stock that migrated
westward, the Chinese and Japanese
ounces are from ancestors that mi
grated eastward. and because these
were unchanged by crossing and selec-
ton the fruit is very hard generally,
bitter and, to our tastes, inedible.
THE early Spring blossoms, how
ever, are of great beauty, and in the
case Of the Japanese ounce the tree
has been cultivated for it's blossoms
rather than for its fruit.
My experiments in crossing the
. A4Nehii duAAlCS Win Iic oIIelitdA va
rietles were not succeSsful: although
they produced some curious and un-
usually interesting hybrids, they were
absolutely sterile and none of them
even bore blossoms.
The ounce is still in half civilized
state and has been so neglected that It
still shows a strong tendency to re-
vert to the wild type, but there are
possibilities in it and the success at
tained is very encouraging. Crossings
and selection will undoubtedly yet pro-
duce many changes and very great i'm
provement"

Frozen Beef Tea.

Frozen foods are very valuable in
the sick room. Cooling and refresh
ing, they can often be served when
the patient refuses nourishment in
any other form. When preparing
frozen foods for the sick the most
scrupulous care should be used to see
that everything is clean, and that
the can and all the utensils are
scalded. To make the frozen beef
tea beat up the white of one egg to
a stiff froth and stir in one cupful of
beef tea. Freeze to the consistency
of a heavy custard. To make frozen
beef juice, add half a pint of beef
juice to the beaten white of one egg.

SUMMERTIME

Wild Indigo.

Can that be gorse?" asked a young
English girl the other day, seeing the
acres of wild indigo in bloom upon a
bare, sterile hill just across the river
in Virginia. 1t is little wonder she
asked the question, for the wild indi-
go, everywhere now in bloom, looks
remarkably like the Old World gorse,
and is of the same family so that 1t
is not surprising that she fancied her
self back on Hampstead Heath.
Wild indigo is known at once by it's
low, broad, bushy habits, it's three
cloverlike leaflets, and it's profusion
of tiny, golden flowers that, examined
minutely, are, as in all the pea family,
curiously like little butterflies with
folded wings. Nothing in fact is love
lier these days than to see our COM
mon little yellow butterfly futtering
over the billowy fields of wild indigo
Do not try to farm in soil where wild
indigo grows. 1t prefers the dry, ster-
lie, light soils and avoids rich humus.
But If you buy a spot for sheer
beauty, there is never a flower which
so cheaply beauties the ground.
When you pick wild indigo and let it
fade, the leaves will blacken in drying
This is due to the presence of indi-
go in the system of the plant, and, in
deed, early settlers really used wild in
digo to dye those beautiful old hand
woven fabrics that antique collectors
now prize so highly. 1t was not the
true indigo of tropical regions, and
did not produce so fine a dye, but still
it gave a soft and lovely shade of
blue. Today coal tar dyes have driven
the old-fashioned vegetable dyes al
most out of the market. But whatever
may be said for synthetic dyes, they
do not, as they fade, turn such beau
tiful colors as the old-fashioned dyes
AS chemical dye fades, it's hue actu.
ally changes in many cases. A vege-
table dye merely softens as it grows
old, and retains, even for centuries,
essentially the same color.

Dlstorp of Dour Rame

BEALE
VARlATION-BeII.
RACIAL ORIGIN-irish.
SOURCE-A nickname.

Probably the most general source of
the family name of Bell is the word
bell" Its first use as a surname was
an indication of the fact that the
bearer lived near a bell which was a
landmark in the countryside.
But Bell, or Beale, as it is often
spelled, is not always of English
origin. There was among the ancient
clans of Ireland one which bore the
name of "O'Bel," which in its trans
lation into English has almost inva-
riably become Bell or Beale.
The clan name, however. is not de-
rived in this instance from the given
name, but rather from the descriptive
surname borne by the chieftain who
founded it in the days of ST. Patrick
This chieftain was named '"Tuathal"
and surnamed "Cruinnbheul." which
means gathered mouth" The clan
name is derived from the latter por-
ton of this surname, meaning
mouth "Tuathal" was the father
of the chieftain "Seaghan," who a
few years later founded the clan of
the O'Shanes or MacShanes.

thousands Of women, who have bob
bed or shingled their heads And more
than one woman has had her hair cut
for no reason at all save that she
wanted to be able to get a hat that
would come down as low as hats now
adays are supposed to come
If you have a large head there are
several ways of going about your
problem of getting a hat. First you
may simply take the largest hat you
can conveniently lay hand upon. It
will perhaps be two or three inches
too small. In that case you pull 1t
down as far as it will come and go
about with your ears and forehead
and side hair showing, and looking
of course, quite eccentric. There are,
however, plenty of women who solve
the problem in just that way.
Another thing to do is to go to your
mllliner's and have your measure
ments taken and a frame made for
you, which, after it is tried on, must
be covered with some sort of straw
braid or silk fabric. A third way is
TO dig up a shop where they shape
pieces of felt or straw to suit any size
head. Sometimes two rounds of felt
must be used, one for the crown and
one for the brim.
And now there are interesting little
adjustable hats in the shops. Unfor-
tunately, some of these are Just about
right for a medium size head when
entirely let out. The really large heads
cannot wear them. This is true of
some charming little soft velvet hats,
made with rhinestone buckles at one
side of the pie-shaped opening in the
crown of the hat. Corresponding loops
OF the velvet are opposite the three
little buckles. and there is an under
facing of velvet to match the hat.
Unfortunately, even with the lappet
of velvet extended to it's fun length it
is impossible TO fit one of these hats
TO a woman with a really large head.
Another device for the large head is
a felt hat which can be made larger
or smaller by means of six or seven
eyelet holes on either side of the V
shape cut-out. A lacer holds these to-
gether much like the lacer in the front
Of Child's sailor blouse. Still third
type Of adjustable hat is made by
gathering the fullness of a felt hat
and holding it in place by means Of
little buckle and narrow ribbon around
the crown.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Cancer.

During the morning. tomorrow $
planetary aspects are not very reas-
surfing, and indicate a condition OF
restlessnesS and nervousness that is
not compatible with pleasantness of
disposition or productive of 'harmoni-
Gus surroundings. The inclination to
nag must be combated, and the desire
to vent your spleen on others must be
overcome. In the afternoon the condi-
tions assume a much more favorable
character, and presage a changed
mental outlook. which will insure a
great deal of pleasure and enjoyment
out of those pastimes and recreations
ordinarily associated with Sunday. In
the home circle the atmosphere prom
ises, after a few trying hours in the
morning, contentment, peace Of mind
and tranquility of spirit.
A girl born tomorrow will cause
many misgivings as result of deli
cate physical condition. The signs,
however, denote that she will possess
remarkable recuperative powers. and,
though lacking in outward indication
OF strength, she will have a resistance
that will insure her a happy issue out
Of all her ailments. A boy brought
into the world will, on physical
grounds, cause no worry, and attain
maturity without being subjected to
dhy IllHSSS. LII
and disposition, after making due al
loWance for the difference Of sex, both
boy and girl will be very similar. They
will be largely irresponsible and care
free, getting out of the present what
ever pleasure they can, and taking no
heed of tomorrow or what it may
bring forth. They will both be demon
stratively affectionate.
If tomorrow is your birthday you
make up in plodding and persevering
habits for what you lack in brilliancy.
You are slow to grasp a situation, and
your perception, although ultimately
sure, is not keen. Once, however, you
have formed judgment it is sane and
invariably correct. Foresight is not
one of your attributes; you always
profit by hindSight, and never make
the same mistake twice.
You are slow to make friends, but,
once made, you retain them, as your
loyalty is unquestioned and your sin
cerity undoubted, Just the same in
your love you are not liable to capitu-
lateaat sight, but, when sure of your
self, you will love with your whole
heart and soul.
Well known persons born on this
date are: Isaac Hays, physician; David
G. Farragut, first admiral, United
States Navy; Phineas T. Barnum,
Snowman; Henry c. Murphy, lawyer;
William c. Whitney, lawyer, of New
York; Joseph B. Foraker. soldier.

Dining room tables, especially those
with a high polish, require continual
care to keep them free from disfig-
uring marks. Dull-fnished wood,
that which is oiled and not varpished,
will not mark easily, and that is one
good reason for choosing this finish
when buying the furniture for this
room. When the polish is high it
will be necessary to use heavy mats,
preferably asbestos-covered ones, be-
meath very hot dishes, or sufficient
warmth may seep through the silence
cloth to mar the wood beneath.
If the surface of a table gets dis
figured there are ways of restoring
the finish. Try rubbing the marks
with a cloth moistened with wood
alcohol. Do not put much on; rub
lightly and then polish with a dry
cloth. This is said to remove white

Erebus was a term Used by the
