Grass seeds germinate In from four teen to eighteen days. A quart of seeds is sufficient to cover 300 square feet 15 by 20 feet. Five to six bushels are required per acre. Do not 60W grass seeds in hot, dry weather, particularly in July or Au gust. Toa trivalls is good for shady lawns under trees. Festuca rubra is most suitable for bard wear and for dry or sandy soils. Sharp sea sand applied lightly over lawns in the autumn that is. over lawns on clay or loam encourages the growth of fine grasses.

Eow startling was the difference In the customs of the English and the Keots even less than a century ago is shown In the story of the way in which the famous highland chief, Alastlr MaedouelL of Glengarry frightened George IV. out of his wits. In 1822 Glengarry was one of a party of Scot t.sh nobles and gentlemen who ban queted "the first gentleman of Europe" In Ilolyrood palace. Colonel Macdonell was the last chief to wear the full highland costume, and when the com pany sat down to dinner he, according to custom, placed a brace of loaded pistols by his plate. The king started up in alarm and was persuaded to re main in the room only on the assurance that Glengarry meant no treason. Lon don Spectator. Stevenion's Wife. A half caste sailor once said, "Mr. Stevenson Is good to me, like my fa ther, and his wife is the same kuid of man." King Tembinoke said of Mrs. Steven son. "She good; look pretty plenty ikoneh" (sense). Perhaps they both meant what the Hrt Edmund Gosse so well expressed when he wrote of her as being "so dark and rich hearted, like some won derful wine-red Jewel." But the best tribute in Mrs. Steven son's praise came from the peu of her husband. Critic. Our Coal Supply. The United States coal supply is near, ly one-half that of the entire world.

The aged should have food at frequent Intervals-little and often should be the rule-fowl every three or four hours. The appetite is not as keen In old age as it is in youth, nor is the di gestion so good. Fresh vegetables are needed and relished by elderly persons, and they are a valuable addition to the dietary if they are trou bled with constipation, as they contain fibrous tissue, which gives bulk to the contents of tho intestinal canal and supplies something for the intestines to contract upon.
