The Derivation of GI()r»«.Itmr, In til A D. the Arabs crossed the narrow strait of Gibraltar »ed eatabe- llshed themselves around the famous rocjt whose name is derived from their leader. Field Marshal Tarlfc was one of the leaders of the Arab Imrasioi! off Spain. Qebel is on Arabic word nionrtr- ing mountain. The great rock, wblola was by far the most conspicuous ob- ject along the shores of the strait, was accordingly named after Tarlfe, Gcbel FRUITS AND FLOWER8. Host kinds of fruit trees thrive but In rolling land*. It mildew appear on the rosebushes, dust with sulphur. The garden must be mellow, rich and kept clean. This la the inside secret of tucccssfukgardenlng. An application of hard wood ashes will supply the soil with the potash so necessary in growing small fruits. Bone meal is an excellent garden fertilizer, but It docs 'not give Immedi- ate results unless dissolved with acid. The longer a n orchard Is kept in cul- tivation and a crop taken off the great- er becomes the necessity of liberal ma- nuring. The greater portion of the roots ef the grapevine grows near the surface. For this reason the cultivation should be shallow. * In the garden especially one of the drawbacks to the germination of seeds Is that they are often covered with too much eartk when planted. Usually the smaller the teed tha less covering ts required. \WkT He Wa<r Arrested. \When I wa3 in the legislature,\ said the Kentucklan, \I was called over to the penitentiary to see an old friend.
