Even In London, most conservative of cities, one by 'one the famous old street cries are dying out. In Shakespeare's day the streets were musical with tills chanting of tradesmen, calling their wares, each to his own particular lilting tune. The laat to be heard In modern Lon don Is that of the lavender peddlers: “ Sweet lavender, sweet lavender I “ Won't you buy my sweet lavender? “ Sixteen branches for a penny I” I t ’s still heard on the side streets, but Its days are numbered. It's easier to walk to s drug store and get moth- bnlls. Just ns the street cries are dying out. so also are the London flower girls— famous In song and story— dis appearing. Once they were to he seen all over the city— these "girls" whose ages ranged from sixteen to sixty. Pleadll ly Circus tins been their last strong hold. But there are signs that they’re being ousted even from this favored spot. Men, mostly ex-soldlers out of regular Jobs, are now w ilin g flowers. A ir Jsts.

AGE OF LOUD SPEAKERS HERE OLDEST OF APPLE ORCHARDS Results In Straining of Vocal Chorda and Throat Troubles, Says a Music Toachar. A mnsic teacher remarked the other day that more and more people were going to her for voice production, on the advice of a doctor, who rightly said that their throat troubles were merely the resalt of straining their vocal chords, says London Answers. “We belong to an age of loud »pest ers,” »lie ssld smilingly. •'Psrtlrularly women and girls talk much more loud ly than ever before. The restless age in which we live is responsible, ami tills modern shouting accounts for the number of strained throats ab o u t” H er statement raises a very interest ing point, because we ail certainly And that the voice raised the loudest usual ly gets home first! T he sweet simper ing prunes and prisms of a hundred years ago won’t get us a telephone call, or a bun in • tea shop, or a Jumper at a sale, or tell us the way to Putney bridge. T lie man or woman who whispers in these crowded days never gets very far. One man said, quite seriously, the other day, that he thought modern dance music had a great deal to do with people's strident tones. And there certainly is something in that, too. Occasionally, a fte r all the harsh voices some one comes to town with a soft, crooning speaking voice. You eon spot such a man or woman at once, and know, too, that they found their southing tones in the heart of the country. And you know as well that, If they live in n big city for long, they will be forced to shout— as we all do— for our dally bread! PECULIARITIES OF SENATORS Spencsr Ests Ne Breakfast, Curtis Won't Use Elevator, and Over man Takas Snuff. During the lull In business employ ees at tlie capltol have had time to take stock of some peculiarities and idlosyncraclps of senators, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Herald. For Instance, they have noted: Senator Smoot of Utah only shaves, or is shaved, every other day. fie thinks that Is often enough and he “likes to give his face a rest.” Senator Spencer of Missouri never cats breakfast. But Senator Moses of New lluinpsblre, who was his guest at luncheon recently, says "you should see him eat the rest of the day.” Senator Ourtls of Kansas never lubes un elevator i f he lias the time to climb the stairs. H e says climb ing stairs Is the best "reducer” he has ever tried. During the summer he has done much stair climbing and has lost 25 pounds. Senator Overman of North Carolina is one of the few eenators who now md tben take a pinch of snuff from the historic snuff boxes In the eenate chamber, which are kept filled during the sessions of congress. Senator Cameron of Arizona says lie Is the best cook In the senate. When a boy of sixteen years old he was the sole eook for a large crew on a flehlng smack which operated off the .-oast of Maine. H e also holds rec ords as a flxhermnn. Senator LaFollette calms his nerves after a heated debate by “pulling” on an old, well-seasoned pipe. Sky Cyels and Man Kite. Remarkable (lying feats performed iu miniature aircraft are described in (he Popular Science Monthly. An 0h-o aeronautical engineer, it Is snld, list built a "bicycle-plane," weighing less than 100 pounds and operated by foot power, which has flown success fully at McCook Field, Dayton. Even more remnrknble is a kite-like gilder constructed In Europe. Although weighing only ten pounds and eapa- ble of being folded up and carried oh the hack, this airship Is snld to have remained In the a ir for almost in hour on several oeenslons. Save Your Nalls and Tacks. When you open boxes, take up car pets, or do anything that produce* a crop of bent nulls or useless tacks, save them. Then, the next time you repot or transplant flowers, scatter the nails and tacks through the bot tom layer of the soil, set In the flowers or plants, and fill the pot w ith rich loam. When you w ater the plants the nails will ru s t; the product of this oxidation will enrich the soil re- mnrkahly. You w ill be agreeably sur prised with the strong and beautiful growth of the plants. It Is In the Mountains of New Maxtoa, and Probably Was Planted In 1SS8. America's oldest apple orchard, so fa r as known, is a group of trees In a remote hamlet o f the Manzano moun tains of central New Mexico. The origin of this orchard Is lost In an tiquity. How It came there, whence the seed, who the planter, nra ques tions that go unanswered. The word "manzano" Is Spanish for apple tree, and “manzano" means apple. I t Is believed that the New Mexico orchard was started by one F ra Geronimo de la Liana, a mission ary from Mexico who In 1635 came to Quart, five miles below the present hamlet of Manzana. There was at Manzana, It la aald, a wonderful spring, says the American Forestry Magazine, and It In believed that the Spanish priest planted the orchard near the spiring. Although this early settlement was abandoned for more than a century be cause of Apache raids, the orchard grew on. As It stands today tt Is In two gronps, one of fifty trees, the other of sixteen trees. The trees are of “spront” growth, many of them In groups of two or three starting from a common center. They still bear fru it, although the apples are small. The guardian of the orchard today Is the Rev. Jose Gauthier, a French padre who has served the Manznna townpeople for the last twenty-five years. The orchard Is the property of the local church.

A beetle on the African Gold Const has the useful habit of eating tbe “grubs” o f mosquitos. The bug, a tiger beetle with the Imposing name of Ciclndela octoguttata, goes to the edges of ponds where the grubs ure swimming, and fishes them out of the water. It helps very m aterially to re duce the number of mosquitoes in any area which It inhabits. One of the great problems of mod ern tropicul medicine is the killing of mosquito larvae, consequently it is probable that an effort w ill be made to cultivate the new beetle extensively. A t present one method of the samo sort is in use in most malnrla coun tries. This consists In putting shoals of a tiny fish known as “millions” into mosquito ponds. The "millions” feed on tlie grubs. Science is beginning to take a very deep interest in these "balances of na ture,” for It Is probable that, by mak ing a Judicious use of them, both health and crops can be Improved. The ravages of the “green fly,” fo r In stance, are controlled by the “lady bird." In a poor ladybird year tbe green fly becomes a serious pest. Raising the Dead.
