Oregon Is said to have a white sun
llower which grows wild lu some local

plants. Under perfect conditions It will
flower and seed within eight days of
planting.
A northern aspect for the orchard
gives a colder and later soil and re
tards the blossoming until a later pe
riod, thus lessening tbe danger from
spring frosts.
If for no other reason than Its habit
of lato blooming, the sulvlu deserves a
place In every garden. Nothing can be
more splendid than a well grown bed
of salvia lu early autumn,
v Tho finest house plants grow where
the temperature does not get above 70
degrees nor lower than 00 degrees.
But most of us would think we were

Beaconsficld was just walking away

Colore of Children'! Erea.
It has been conclusively proved that
women have a lurger proportion of
brown eyes than men. If In purents
tbe mother has brown eyes and the
father blue, the chunces are eighty

family will be brown eyed, the percent
age In favor of the boys having blue
eyes being seventy-two to twenty-eight
If the purents have eyes of like color,
tbe chances In favor of tbe children,
both mule and female, having eyes of
the same color are ninety-two to eight

POINT8 ABOUT TURTLES.
The Are Nut Mo Much I. Ike On Aa
other ae Maar l'eotile Think.
In moist places In the fields and
meadows limy be found tho wood tor
toise, a sober aort of turtle of a brown
or reddish brown color above, the shell
having a ridge In Its middle along the
imck, says Nature Hlndy. Kach plate ol
the shell underneath has a black
blotch.1
In mud boles nnd In small ponds, of
ten resting on a log or stone above tlx
water, one mny almost always find the
painted turtle, which has tho margin
of the shell marked red, while the shell
Underneath Is yellow. These turtle
are nut ao easily captured as the wood
turtles, for they are rather timid and
often slip Into tho water when ap
proached, hut with patience nnd In
genuity they can he outwitted at last
and one secured for examination.
It will bo ruro good fortune to find a
turtlo at a meal and see him hold bit
food, sometimes with ono-fore foot,
sometimes with the other, but never
with both nt once, as cuts nnd dogs
often do.
After watching him for nwlille try to
find whether he always draws Ills tnil
In on tin same side of his hot house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over; then sometimes try other tur
tles In the sin no way mid find out for
yourself whether, turtles vary In this
matter of hiding nway their tails. This
Is more Important than you con Imag
ine. If all the animals and plants of
tho siinin sort were always tho same
there would never be any change in
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same numlier all u round.
As you find other turtles, particularly
In different parts of the country, if you
travel about, or in such museums as
you can visit, see what differences you
can find in this matter of tho number
and arrangement of turtles' toes. It Is
not so silly as It mny appear to aoino
people. Notlco also that some turtles
have webbed feet, to ennblo them to
swim tho better.
Manage In somo way to open the tur
tle's mouth and find whether It has
teeth, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the Jaws. Touch
tho eyes gently with a small stick and
see the turtle draw a thin skin over
them. This Is tho third eyelid, the same
as In bens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tall are cov
ered with scales; then some time exam
ine the foot of a hen or pigeon and see
that they urc scaly also. In this mat
ter of the third eyelid and the scales
tho birds nnd the turtles huvo feutures
in common. I'erhaps somo tlmo you
will learn how It happened uud will
find it u very Interesting story. New
York Tribune.
Auprourlnllnii a Crest.
Tbero is a restaurant keeper with a
new and capacious place on the upper
west side about whom a story Is going
the rounds. This "uilno host" make
no secret of tho fuct thut when ho ar
rived lu America as a youth ho had
more Augers and toes than dollars nnd
that It Is duo to bis own Industry thut
he now can command his little army
of cooks, waiters and other help. When
be opened an addition to his rooms re
cently, bis friends were surprised to
see a crest emblazoned conspicuously
on various parts of the wall. The glass
ware also bears the crest.
"I say. Put." auld a friend recently,
"where did you got that crest':'
"That belonged to a king of my name
In Ireland." wus tho reply.
"And I suppose you were one of tbe
royal fumlly V"
"Well, I don't know," was tho confl
dential reply. "I looked it up in th
Astor library. Tbero were several hun
dred yours to account for, but I thought
I'd take a chance." New York Times.
Flnilliiu Mare Material.
"How largo is your Mammoth cave?"
asked the foreign tourist.
"Nobody knows exactly," suld the na
tive. "It's so large, though, and pcoplo
get lost in it so easily, thut when a
man is about to explore It he makes his
will and wishes his weeping friends
goodby."
"Most astonishing! I never heard thut
before!"
"Oh, well, of course. It Isn't quite so
bud as thut. I was only joking."
Entry In foreign tourist's notebook:
"Another curious custom nutdng Amer
icans is thut when they tell an amaz
ing lie they call It a Joke." Chicago
Tribune.
True Merer.
"Prisoner." said tho judge, "you are
convicted of blgnmy, of having married
two wives. Have you any pleu for
mercy before the sentence of tho con it
Is Imposed on jot.?"
"Yes, judge," said the prisoner. "Give
me as big a sentence in jull as you
can."
"What?"
"I want to keep out of the clutches of
those two wives as long as I can, and a
long jull suutouce will be true nioroy."
