glyph, suggesting that a phonetic al¬ 
phabet grew out of the picturegraphs 
and the symbols. The serpent itself 
gives' one of the elements. Among the 
Pueblos the serpent figured in a very 
interesting way. When the children 
were initiated and were to receive the 
breath of the divinity through the sacred 
plumes, they were prepared to enter the 
sacred city, which is under the water of 
the sacred lake. But the serpent must 
also be carried to the upper door of the 
place of worship where the children 
are and its mouth placed near the en¬ 
trance. 
Water and seed were poured through 
the serpent effigy. The priests below 
caught the water in a sacred vessel and 
the seed in sacred baskets and presented 
them to the children, teaching them that 
both water and seed came from the 
serpent, which was the symbol of the 
rain cloud.— The Rev. Stephen D. Peet, 
at the meeting of the American Associa¬ 
tion for the Advancement of Science. 
CREEPING EVERGREEN EUONYMUS 
TTOR covering smooth stone walls, 
the creeping Euonymus radi- 
cans is an excellent vine. Low walls 
of any kind have^ a nice appearance 
when clothed with this vine, its dark, 
small evergreen leaves contrasting well 
usually with the color of such walls. 
When walls are high, some vine with 
heavier leaves looks better, the euony¬ 
mus appearing too frail in such cases. 
The euonymus clings closely and 
makes no unattached shoots, just what 
is wanted usually for furnishing a low 
wall. As a rule the plain leaved one is 
the better sort for the purpose, but 
should the fence to be covered be of a 
very dark color the variegated leaved one 
may sometimes be used to advantage. 
The variegated leaved one is sometimes 
planted in positions it does not suit, such 
as on plastered walls, where it has been 
noticed; and very much out of place it 
was, too! 
An opinion is sometimes expressed 
that this euonymus is slow growing. 
This is a mistake. It is because of its 
small leaves that the impression of slow¬ 
ness prevails, and there is not much side 
growth to it for a while, but in upward 
growth, it should not be considered a 
slow grower at all; given good soil it 
will ascend a wall in a satisfactory 
manner.— Florists' Exchange.
