American Gardens and
Homes Both Distinctive

About 1100 A. D., the Crusaders en-
tered Byzantium and the Holy land
and carried many ideas back to the
countries of central Europe. The Per-
slams and Arabians likewise carried
the Byzantine influences to their re-
spective countries. From this the
Arabs developed type of landscape
architecture very different from pre-
vious styles. Their ideas were carried
by them to the countries Of northern
Africa and by the Moors to Spain,
where many famous gardens were
made. These all had a touch of orr
entail design.
The American Colonists found no
gardens in this country when they
landed. They brought with them ideas
from England which were influenced
by the necessity of growing their own
fruits and vegetables. Their desire
for ornamental paintings was inherit
ed from their English ancestors and
this desire has now grown to the ex-
tent that the United States Is out
standing in its development of small
home gardens. The growth of these
gardens has kept pace with the in
crease in population, and the construc-
ton of homes and the style, while in
f1uenced by many others In past CEN
turtles, has become truly and distinct
lively American.

Perkins Quick to See
Value of Imagination

Perkins was feeling queer; he
couldn't get on with his work; he
couldn't do anything. So he decided
to see his doctor.
II don't feel up to the mark" he
said to the man of medicine. "Can
you give me a tonic?"
The doctor surveyed him for mo-
ment or two, and, rising from his
chair, remarked: HAS it ever oc-
CURED to you that there's great deal
in Imagination, Mr.. Perkins|
Certainly, doctor"
"Then imagine there's nothing the
matter with you. Come back in a
week and let me know how you feel r.
The patient went, doctored himself,
and returned at the appointed time.
"Ah," said the doctor. "You are
feeling better. Didn't tell you there's
a great deal in imaginationT
"That's true" said Perkins. "What

Adapt Supply of Food
to Needs of the Body

"Sane eating without overindulgence
will be a pretty safe basis for
healthy life"
Playing foolish adherence to tenn
porary food fads, DR.. Solomon Strouse
used the foregoing statement as the
theme of his article, Building Diet"
in Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
Food furnishes energy and builds up
broken-down tissue. Granting this, it
is easy to see why the lumberman of
Maine uses 5000 calorles daily, where
as tailor will use only about 200.
The building of diet depends also
on locality. In the United States we
eat large amount of carbohydrate.
That is because carbohydrate foods
are cheap and easily available. In
Alaska, fuel is supplied mainly by fat.
milk, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables,
bread and butter, some meat and an
egg or two win pretty well cover most
of the fundamental nutritional require
ments of salts and vitamins."

Mysterious Grave

The chamber of commerce of Gary,
Ind, says that it believes the grave
which lies near Gary in the middle of
the steel plants is that of one Andreas
Zirngibil, which lies within the city
limits of Chicago on the main highway
between Gary and that city. Mr.. Zirn-
gibil is said to have owned large tracts
of land on the southern shores of Lake
Michigan which was considered in his
time as waste land. When he died he
willed that his remains be buried in
this land and that 1t never be dis
turbed, Although the will is said to
have been broken, the grave still re-
mains in its original place almost en-
tirely surrounded by industry. The
dates on the crude headstone are, Born
1907, died 1855, and it bears a legend
in German.

Persian emusic" Apt to
Crate on Western Ears

Persia's pictorial and decorative art
was widely published at an exhibition
recently held in London. But beside
this art, there Is a good deal Of music
in Persia. The Persian orchestra usu-
ally consists of a either, played with
wooden sticks, a very ancient and
primitive style of guitar, made of null
berry wood, with only three strings,
played with a bone "plectrum," viols
that look like mandolins, pipe, and
a horn, large drum, and two small
ones on the same principle as our ket-
tie drums.
The viols are made out OF pumpkins
strengthened with ribs Of wood, ivory
and bits of metal, while each has a
long spike to rest on the ground, so
that the instrument is played like the
violoncello. The noise Of such an or
chestra is terrific, especially when
Singers" who shrek at the top of
their voices, join In. But as the only
type of western music that has been
introduced is that Of inferior brass
bands, the Perslans usually prefer the
native music to that which is imported.

Toll of Horseshoe.

The levying Of horseshoes from IA
nous riders has been long a custom
at Oakham, in Rutlandshire, England.
These shoes have been levied as
tribute from famous men who have
ridden through the town, for no Wis
itor of high rank was formerly per-
mitted to enter unless he paid a toll
Of one horseshoe. The shoes, many of
them large and ornamental, now hang
in the county hall, which was original
~ the banqueting hall of the CASTLE
1t seems that the immortal rights of
the castle were once held by the count
Of Derby, who was official farrler to
William the Conquerer. His descend
ants still have six black horseshoes on
a silver ground in their arms.

Uses Wings in Water

The water ouzel, or dipper, as 1t is
commonly called, is a bird that uses
its wings under water in exactly the
same manner as when flying through
the air. The birds are much like the
thrush and walk along the bottom of
streams in search of food. While they
are thus submerged, they must make
constant use of their wings to keep
down, for their bodies are so light
that they would Immediately come to
the top otherwise. When they do come
to the surface, the water rolls from
their feathers and they are perfectly
dry. They are not webfooted, but they
swim on the surface with perfect ease,

Penny Theator Actor

The Penny theater actors life must
indeed have been wretched one. Like
the strolling player of Shakespeare's
time, his wardrobe was mass Of rags
and his appearance starvation persona
fed. Tenpenee night was thought
a fair wage for taking part in six or
seven successive performances, while
seven shillings a week was considered
high remuneration. Yet the poor per-
former frequently found himself in
arrears of even this inconslderable
salary, and public dispute would be
carried on between actor and proprle-
tor while the whole performance was
held up.-Brian FitzGerald in the Lon
don Saturday Review.

Idea Broke Up Wedding

Ancient superstition caused tragic
ending to wedding in Macedonian
village. The theory is that if the wom-
an can tread on the foot of her hus-
band-to-be while he is standing at the
altar during the wedding ceremony,
he will obey her throughout their we'd
ded life, and vice versa. Both parties
had been warned by their mothers Of
the custom and at the church a stamp
ing contest began, resulting in triumph
for the bride. The groom lost his tenn
per and before long the guests came
to the defense of the family honor and
a general fight took place. The BRIDE
groom later repented but the bride
would not see him.

Bad weather prevailed when Mrs.

With her was her little boy of seven,
who found it very hard to behave dur

his mothers side, not because he was
tired Gas usually a child does), but be-
cause he feared the thunder and the

gun to accompany the heavy rain. At
last he wasn't able to control himself
any longer and not wishing to appear
rude in the eyes Of the hostess, he said
timidly to his mother, ma /.

OUerseas Operators Adept
Lineussts Interview Shows

Selection of telephone operators for
transoccan service Is an interesting
process according to Grace P. Kelly,
chief operator of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company's
foreign service department in New
York In a recent Interview Miss
kelly detailed the method Of selecting
operators for this service, many OF
whom necessarily must speak the Ian
gaages OF those with whom they
Gene in contact in the handling of
calls to other countries
Eleven different languages are rep
resented in the personnel in the
foreign service. These, according to
Miss Kelly, are English, Spanish,
French. German, Swedish, Polish,
Italian, Lithuanian. Finnish, Flemish
and Magyar.
II was disclosed In the interview
that telephone calls made over direct
circuits to London are handled by
English speaking operators. but that
on calls to continental European
points the operators use either Eng
lish. French. German. Spanish or
Italian as the case may require. There
have been calls Miss Kelly stated,
which involved several Languages be-
fore the party wanted was reached.
For example, call to Roumania
would be passed from New York to
London by an English speaking OPP
orator. The London operator would

Measurement Systems

The sexageslmal system of circular
measurement has been in existence
from very early period. 1t was used
by the early Greek mathematician.
Their influence was so great that all
the medieval astronomers and mathe-
maticians, Christian, Jewish and Mo-
hammedan, used the same system.
When a particular form of measure
ment has become established through
the ages there is always reluctance in
making change, because of the con-
fusion that would be involved; calcu-
lations would have to be changed and
existing text books, tables and refer
ence books would be out of date.

Dreams don't always come true, but
Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of

spoken by telephone over two instru-
ments connected by thirty feet of
wire were those of DR.. Bell, when he
said to Mr.. Watson, "Please come
here, / want you" That was on March
10, 1875.
Two years later, after DR.. Bell had
demonstrated the practicability Of
telephone service to numerous groups
In this country, while trying to inter-
est some English capitalists in the
telephone, he wrote prophetic letter

wires with private dwellings,
country houses, shops, manu-
factories, etc., uniting them
through the main cable with

could be connected as desired,
establishing direct communication
between any two places In the
