Misunderstood Cheetah

The cheetah, generally supposed
10 be a member of The cat family,
actually is not, but is placed in a
different genus. 1t is often used as
dog to hunt game. 1t has very
small head, long, slim legs and c
very narrow chest. The tail is fiat
tened vertically, and may act as
rudder when the cheetah runs at
high speed. Unlike those of true
cats, the cheetah's claws are only
partly retractile. The ground color
of the fur is tawny, thickly sprinkled
with small dark SPOTS

Scythes Growing in Tree

Near Waterloo, N. Y, there are
three scythes growing in tree. In
1861 the farmer, named Johnson,
who owned the balsam poplar hung
his scythe in the crotch of the tree,
and went off to the Civil war. He
told his wife not to touch the scythe
until he came back. He never re-
turned, and the tree has now grown
entirely around the blade. The other
two scythes were hung there by two
sons of the present owner when they
went off to the World war.

Louisiana Capitol Building Bet

In 1882 J. D. Stotler bet R. E.
Collins that the Louisiana state CAPT.
tol building would stand 500 years.
Collins bet $3.50 it would not. They
signed the papers and banked the
money under contract. In the mid
die of July, 1888, they met in Baton
Rouge, reaffirmed the bet and found
that the stake had grown to S6.85
from the 4 per cent interest rate
that will increase it to over s., 000,.
100000 in 500 years. 1t is specified
in the contract that the bank is to
pay the money to the heirs of the
winner.

Making a Glass Garden
Continued from Last Week.
by Edith V. A. Murphey)

of gray-green leaves; if taken in
Spring. these will be cherry-red
with dusty BLOOM. three inch
red flower stems, and bright yell
low tri-fo!iate flowers. which last
a long time and lend brilliancy to
dark backgrounds. This is the
Hen and Chickens" commonly
found On rocks in Northern Cali
fornia. Of course if these be-
come pale nd sprangly they
should be at once removed. Their
compactness and trimness ar e
beauties sought.
The use of fresh flowers with.
out their roots, may make color
full variations in their home in
the glass garden. Their stems
are simply inserted in appropriate
places with the understanding
that they are temporary. and
must be removed when faded,
just as a bouquet would be.
Certain flowers will last over a
we e k, others, less time. OF
course they must harmonic with
the general scale of size. Nearly
all garden flowers are too large
t o look well, out little border
plants, alyssums. lobelia a n d
dainty wildings are just right. If
a flower begins took furry or
droopy, take it out before it
milde VS..
When the glass garden is all
done but finishing, it is time to
give it a drink. Three or four
good hand sprinklings will do.
Probably half a cupful of water.
After the cover is put on, if the
bowl looks streamy. the atmos-
here is about right. If your ma
terial is fresh and free from in
sects, and YOUR soil the same, the
the garden will begin growing
Immediately, and will be constant
ly increasing pleasure to you.
Sweetness and light are essen
tial in the glass garden. Char
Goa | furnishes the sweetness,
which prevents the garden from
becoming musty, and, although
some sun is beneficial, the light
must not be too sunny.
Take your gardens hat off !,
when you give it sun bath. and
keep it from stewing il its own
juice. Except without placing
the garden directly in the sun.
Five minutes airing once r
twice a week is about right. Too
much moisture is worse than not
enough. If the foliage looks
droooy and thirsty, sprinkle it
lightly.
Clean t h e glass occasionally
with soft tissre paper. Sprinkle
lightly afterwards.

the motto of the Class Garden.
Once established. such a garden
should last long time under pro-
per conditions. One of mine last.
ed over two years and was far
more lovely than when it was
first built when it outgrew its
huge container.
My advice is to build a glass
garden this Fall to keep you COM
pany through the long winter
months. and see for yourself
what fun it is.

Ma1ine-Niinded Martins

Two industrious and marine-Inind-

housekeeping in the whistle of the

time the boat whistle footed, the

The crew finally persuaded the pair
70 build the lovenest on dock near
