A Practical Joke. —He was an ardent amateur horticulturist (says the Southland Daily News), and his great ambition was to grow sweet peas which would he the envy of his neighbours. He sought advice —and got it. Following directions carefully, he dug a trench, brushing aside the expostula*tions of his wife, and strewed the seed along the bottom. His work done, he waited confidently for results. An obliging friend, who did not like to see the hopeful one disappointed, slipped into the garden under cover of night and planted peas just about the trench. They grew in healthy fashion, and the innocent one now considers himself vindicated, but those in the know are waiting to see what happens when his peas grow pods apd not flowers.
