CORNER FLOWER,'„ REE 13y Ann K, ltobinso Why not ttlro that eeral;gly place under the obi tree jn the fence owner into a beauty -spot by building a roe c bedand platting it with wild flowers? I did that last spring, but fall does just as well, I loosened the g'r'ound ast for garden- ing, and Placed ontop of it atones about the size of a hat, and just abeut, touching each other.

Try it i dirt in between them to hail their' height I was careful that all ere- - vices were filled and that no air-hoiesi were left to header the upward travel' of moisture. This to important, as all, root!; must have direct eonnectioa with Mother Berth. I plat on a layer of slightly smaller atones between' the larger ones, preen- ing them down well, and adding more Of nhy good rich loam, When I was through, a few jagged joints worried me, until I thought what nice trellises they would make for some delicate vine. Towards the hack, I placed the tall- er plants — rhododendron, tiger -lily, lady's slipper, and wild flowers trans - Planted frim the woods. Even a' skunk -cabbage, which is • beautiful, in spite of its name, will look well. Ferns for Shady Places. There are many varieties of ferns you can use, from those that grow two feet tail to the tiny fronds, that dpt'ead over the ground star' fashion.Ton can get ferns from the woods. Toward the front of the bed have May -apple, pack -in -the -pulpit, adder's- tongue, squirrei..corn, bloodroot, wood - lily, or any of the frail, dainty wlld� flowers to bee bad for the getting. Wild violets grow splendidly among rocks.! The common blue ones are- the most popular, for they are so .cheerful; but you can !have some of the white end yellow ones too.. You will have to watch so that they don't crowd every- thing else out in a year or so. Put in a cowslip, a catnip and a neint root, and a few mountain -tea plants that have such pretty bright berries. And after everything is as you want it, add a vino or two, the lovely arbutus, ivy,', laurel or any of the vines Nature uses' for carpeting purposes. And 'Coe if you can got a nettle moss to cling down among the deeper slhadows. Bulbs for Spring Blooms. Slip in a few bulbs for early -spring blooming.' They will have bad their season in plenty of time for the root plants to grow; the darling little cro- ws rusus Is up before the snow Is gone, and daffodils are In bloom before the wool- ly fern fronds are uncurled. A, rock bed can be made In strong sunlight, using, of course, flowers that thrive in the open. Here the choice of plants is almost unlimited; any low - growing plant that is friendly with the svn does nicely. Use portulaca, or candytu[t, or pansies, or cultivated daisies, or ice -plant, whose cool -sound- ing name is so restful on a het day. In my corner I saw late tulipa lord- ing it over the modest pansy; they held their heads high while their day hots!, and when finally they faded, the velvety pansies covered the bed with theirlovellness, and dainty light - green poppy foliage was showing. Leave bulbs In the ground all the time; they will take care of t71en1- relves and bethe earliest to bloom in the spring, dauntlessly lifting their cheerful little faces to a cold spring blast. Surnames a d Their Origin CRANE Variation --Crain. Racial Origin—English. Source—A place, also a nickname, The manner in which such a family name as Grana could have originated is likely to ite puzr,ling to the casually curlddhs, for certainly, the crane was not a ennimen enough bird • in England of the middle ages to have occurred o a man's associates in that 'period when various deserilvtive . phrases came into use to differentiate one in- dividual from others bearing the same given name. There might have been exceptional cases here and there of"dealere in rare animals who coulda have gotten the surname from the fact that- they sold cranes, But that would not account for the very many families which to- day bear the name. It might also— and undoubtedly was, in some in- stancee—be conferred upon a Man as a nickname, and from this develop In- to a family name. But the explanation, In the vast ma- jority of cases, lies in a custom quite widespread in the middle ages, and now all but forgotten, exeept where the owner of it little inn, restaurant or curio shop desires'' -to fend an air of quaintnes and antiquity to his busi- ness. The custom was that of placing outside the doer a signbearingthe picture of some animal er article. Let- tered ,signs ,were little used because the bulk of the population could not read. But the picture wee• a distin- guishing mark to the uneducated as well as the educated eye. It was not uncommon, on busy streets, to see a veritable menagerie on the signs of the shops and inns of a single square. It was midi easier to refer tq a mal simply as "Geoffrey Crane" than as "Geoffrey at the sign of the Crane." Bence the 'Modern form of•the none, though at one period it was preceded by "de la'?

Not sick—but not feeling quite well. That is the way moat people feel In the spring.' Easily tired, appetite fickle, sometimes headaches and a feeling of depression. Pimples or eruptions may appear on the akin, 01':there may be twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia. Any of these indicate that the blood is out of order --.that the 1mi0or life- of winter has left its mark upon you and may easily develop into more serious trouble, Do not dose yourself with purgatives, as many people do, In the hope that Voll can put your blood, right. Purge-. dyes gallop through the ayeteiu and weaken instead of giving strength, Any doctor will tell ybu that this is true. What you need in the spring is a tome that will enrich the blood and build up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills' do this speedily, safelp and surely. Every dose of this, medicine helps to enrich the blood, which clears '111e skin, strengthens the appetite and makes tired, depressed men, women and children bright, active and strong. Proof of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills when the system is run down is shown by the case of Mrs. Lil- lian Lewis, South Ohio, N.S., who says; --"About a year ago I was badly run down. Aly appetite was poor, I. dict not sleep well and my nerves were all unstrung. ° I could not go upstairs' without stopping to rest.

In the nineteenth chapter of Kings, says' Prof. William Lyon Phelps in Scribner's :Magazine, we are informed that Elijah "found Ellsba, the son of Shapbat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of. oxen before him, and he with the twelfth.'' ei had always supposed that this meant that Mishit and the !hired bands were out plowing with twelve yoke; 1 did not suppose he was driving twelve yolte of oxen in front of hint, though the Bible seemed to say so. The Rev. Te. Hartz, missionary in India, writes me a letter that ought to interest all lovers of the Bible, all dirt farmers and many others: "I an living in an Oriental land where oxen en all the plowing. I had frequently seen seven yoke of oxen plowing the some field, but a few days later I was traveling through t•he country on ..my tours, and as I came over n little rise of ground what did I see but eighteen yoke of oxen plowing a field, one fol- lowing another just as In =she's time. We missionaries. who are ac. cuotomed to use the Bible in these Oriental hutch are continually getting new lights on old truths, '1'he West • has got so far away from the Orient'; that many things in the Bible seem to be out of place until you can see the Bible incidents in real life.
