Vinca or Periwinkle, as it is calledi dcwn here. There are three varic- ties a pure white, a white with rosy €ye, and one of dul! rose, the latter being in my eyes the least desirable cof all the colors Nature has given us in flowers, and if you have ever paid etiention to these things its a color which she has bee:: most prodigal vith. 1 have seen the Periwinkle growing in such masses on the Easi Coast, where it appcars to have es- caped from cultivation, that the greund appeared to be covered with a carpet of white and rose. Other 2nnuals that are satisfactory plants for flowers are tic Gaillardia, Calll-! orsis, and annual Phlox. These make fine borders of color or beds.i The Gaillardia is never more thm.] @ foot high and combines the col- ! ors of red and yellow. The Calliop- sis grows about 18 inches high and ccembines the colors of yellow and a rick, dark, maroon. This dower grows wild in our woods and natur- ally the cultivated variety does ex- ceedingly well with us. In my North- ern garden | planted Phlox in a bed Ly themselves and used them for cut- ting purposes, but down here I see them most often scattered over lawns where they make bright bits of col- or that no doubt please the taste of sorae persons, but to the lover of & fine green lawn, it would appear like notiing short of desecration to per- mit anything but a blade of grass to stick its head up on a sweep of green. Geraniums are desirable plants for brightly colored flowers and those are usually obtained by sending to rurseries in the North for the plant;. The most of these Northern grown things come to us planted in a hervy clay soil. This must all be gently washed from the roots and then they should be spread out in a naturai manner and some fine good soil sift- ed in around them and prncked as watered. [ never set out a plant turee or four weeks to protect it from the sun and wind. Sometimes | tee slats of thin wood and again I! may use pulmetto leaves or the ends oi a thick-growing cane that I have i my place. Geraniums do not make the show | {with us that they do in California ! for the reason that the soil is hvu\'-‘ ier out there and retains moisture that is most necessary for the roots of this plant.

Fitch, author of “At Good Old Siwash.”) 3 The dentist is a cheerful fiend whe mines for nerves in the teeth of hu- wanity and gets paid so much per pang for the pain which he causes. Dentists are a necessity like death and taxes and just about as popular with their customers. Thanks to the dentist our teeth last longer than tney once did and people do not have to totter through old age on spoon food. But it is very hard to thank the dentist while he is performing his valuable service. * It is almost as hard to refrain from: rising up and smiting him with the ciosely as possible and last of all operating chair. The dentlst preserves our teeth by filling them. To fill a tooth the den- t:st sits the owner in a stout, sus--’ i pcious looking chair and opens his 1wouth until he can count his ribs from the inside. He then takes a vemall sharp drill revolving at the rate of 11,000 revolutions per sec- cnd and bores through the tooth down into the collar bone, cooling the drill now and then when it gets Having drilled his shaft he puts in a few laterals, gangways and working chambers, installs a pump, | and mines out bone and nerve unti ' (the victim being to cave, ln-sum-ll-f,':GEO‘?O TOPOBODOINL EOBOEO I ¢ ing him now and then to turn his |« him a better ehance at the workines | When the dentist has comnleted | & { his grotto he takes a handful of pure O | : (with a small trip hammer, muff the patient with a sheet of He uses becanse it is this | that [ obsolutely necessary someone | % When the zoid has been hammercd :) cocling the tooth with water and then anneals the whole thing with a blow pipe, after which he polizhes, baffs and varnishes the job and packs up his tools for the day. | Going to a dentist is more painfuj ! than going to an old-time inq!lis:-i tion and the padient leaves the chair with his face feeling like the en- trance to a train shed. But after .|| dentist has prospected around a riouth and has done about $30 wortin russ, bridge and the owner can en- joy becfsteak for twenty years long- cr and does not have to sit up nights for weeks at a time with a tooth which is making more trouble than Theodore Roosevelt did in the re. publican convention.
