GARDENING FOR LADIES.

How many enthusiasts there are
now to be found among the gentle
sex, in behalf of gardening or out
door exercise for ladies. 1t is quite
refreshing to read such dainty lit
tie story as this, told by Julia Cole
man;
81 know one lady whose sensible
doctor told her, twenty years ago,
that she was half gone with con-
sumption, and that her only chance
of life was 20 be in the open air as
much as possible. And a perfect
bower of Paradise was her little
yard. Was the soil poor? She en-
riched it. Were her varieties indif-
ferent? She procured better. Near
ly all the flowers were fragrant
Fifteen kinds of roses bloomed under
her hands, and a succession of flow
ers filled out the summer. One side
of the yard was covered with grapes.
Peaches, plums and raspberries were
trained Spaljer, and choice squashes
ripcncd on the roofs eff the out houses.
Tomatoes were trained to single
poles, and yielded luxuriantly; and
ruby Strawberries peeped out even
from the bleaching grass. She, her
self, was as fresh and vigorous as
you could expect one to be whose
half decayed lungs had left her with
insufficient vitality. But her life
was saved, and it had been a happi-
ness to herself and a blessing to 9TH
ers."
She is right, too, when she says
that more than half the credit for
the characterization of our door-yards
and homes is due to the ladies' who
push the men up to their duty.--Far-
n5ey and Gardener.

THE RAILROADS OF TIE WORLD

There are now $4,000 miles of
railroad in the world. II is a won
derful fact one to excite much re-
feetion-that Of this 1914, 600 miles
of finished railway, more than 50,-
900 miles are in the United States,
while all Europe has only G3, 1000
miles. The United States has near
ly as many miles of railway as Great
Britain, Germany, France, Russia,
Austria, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Swe-
den, Norway, Holland, Denmark,
Switzerland, Portugal, Turkey and
Greece, all put together. Ninety
years ago we had only three millions
of population, and there was net
settlement west of the Ohio river;
not turnpike west of the Allegheny
mountains-hardly one on the At
lantic coast; and to-day we have
more miles Of public highway than
all Europe.
Next to the United States comes
Great Britain, which has 10000
miles; Germany has u, 900; France,
10000; Russia, 5000; Austria,
1900; Spain, 300; Italy, 3 400;
Belgium, 1000; Holland, 1000.
Greece" but living Greece no
more"-has six miles Turkey has
$40.
British India has 1900 miles
nearly as many as Austria or Russia,
Mexico has Is miIes-poor Mexico!
Egypt-this is another topic of re-
Aection-has LOO; and Australia
has 500.
The cost Of all the railroads in
the world has been about $l2,000,-
100000, averaging $4,000 per
mile. The average cost in Europe
is Sl35, 900; in this country, $J0,-
600.
The locomotive is now running in
Japan and in Syria-by the rivers
Of ALBANIA and Pharpar.
All OF this work has been done since
about l835-thirty-seyen years ago.
In thirtyseven years more, we shall
see all Asia traycrscd in every di-
rection by railroads-the cars of The
Pennsylvania Central running don't
faint J from Jerusalem to Pekin and
the capital of Siam. What a fer
ment there will be III the world when
the Asiatic continent is fairly brought
up to the level of European and
American business activity Our
trade with Japan and China viii be
as valuable as our present trade with
Europe. The American continent
will swarm with the Turanian race,
as now with Germans and Irish

had been q woman ne would nave

persisted and with reason, GAS no
hadn't much brains to start with, if
he had all his life been confined to
the routine of housekeeping, sell
dom coming in contact with the
world, always having to beg for the
money he must uss, instead of maxi
ing it himself, he would have been
a very inferior person" If self-sup-
port can develop and strengthen the
character in one sex, why not in the
other? The pettiness, narrowness
and unhappincss Of women would be
greatly diminished if some healthy,
remuucrativc occupation filed their
lives.
But with this universal training of
our young ladies for sclf-'upport,
there must and aoiH come a revolu-
ton in the prevailing sentiment that
it is disgraceful for women to earn
money. 1t is respectable for a wo-
man to work herself even to death
for the church, for the heather, for
some society, provided there is no
remuneration, but the moment mon
ey is received, Then At becomes dis
graceful! Many single women con-
sent TO drudge without pay, in some
relatives family, rather than venture
into any kind of occupation, for the
moment they do this for solf-support
they close caste"
An educated woman, acquainted
with all sciences, PHILOSOPHERS, read
ing the great poets in the original
Latin and Greek, is despised by a
fashionable woman whe can't spell
English correctly, because the for
mer teaches to support herself, and
the latter is supported in idleness by
a rich husband.
American women should be
ashamed of this sentiment. 1t is
out of place in our republic. 1t is
a rag from the torn garments Of old
world aristocracies. If we must
have an nristocracy in this country
let it be one of intellect and virtue;
not of money aud idleness.
There is much less Of this spirit
among men than women. Genuine
American men have respect for hon
est labor. 1t is the great foundation
of our republic. One Of its fairest
blossoms is the idea that honest labor
is noble. As democratic ideas have
pretty thoroughly cured men of false
notions on the subject Of labor, there
is some hope for women.

THE Boston Post says change
has come over the aspect of political
affairs in the Republican party
The opposition to Grant, which was
supposed to have been blown away
by the artificial whirlwind created by
the politicians during the recess, is
appearing more powerful than ever,
and at last it has taken form in tho
proposition for Convention of dis
affected Republicans, to be held in
Cincinnati on the first Monday in
May. AS matters stand at present,
this Convention promises to be of the
very greatest Importance. A we'll
informed correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes from Washing
ton that the friends of Grant in Con-
gress are really afraid, and that their
last resort is to brighten his oppo-
nents into support by declaring that
Grant and the party are insepara-
BILE. Senators freely confess that
within thirty days the situation has
greatly changed and that, although
they do not give up their belief that
Grant will be ronominated, it will be
only after a severe fight. They adj
nit that other men in the party are
more available and estimate that, if
he is elected, it will be by a very
close vote, while the best thing for
the party would be the formal refus-
al of Grant to run. The Cincinnati
Convention comes in now to increase
the fears of these gentlemen and to
warrant their estimate of the diff
culties in the way of Grants renom'
nation. Affairs have been tending
to this end for a long time, and it il
to be hoped that nothing will inter
fere with the prosecution of th'
| scheme.

STICK TO SOME ONE PURSUIT.

There cannot be greater error
than to be frequently changing ones
business. If any man will look
around and notice, who have got
rich and who have not, out Of those
he started in life with, he will find
that the successful have generally
stuck to some one pursuit.
Two lawyers, for example, began
to practice at the same time. Ono
devotes his whole mind to his pro-
fession; lays in slowly a stock of
legal learning, and waits patiently,
it may be for years, till he gains an
opportunity to show his superiority.
The other, firing of such slow work,
dashes into politics. Generally, at
the end of twenty years, the latter
will not be worth penny, while
the former will have handsome
practice, and count his tens of thou
sands in bank stock or mortgages.
Two clerks attain majority sim
ultaneously. One remains with his
former employers, or at least in tho
same line of trade, at first on a small
salary, then on a larger, until finally,
if he is meritorious, he is taken into
partnership. The other thinks it
beneath him to fill subordinate po-
sition, now that he has become
man, and accordingly he starts in
some other business on his own ac-
count, or undertakes new firm in
the old line of trade. Where does
he end ? Often in insolvency, raro-
Iy in riches. To this every mer-
chant can testify.
A young man is bred a mechanic.
He acquires a distaste for his trade,
however; thinks it is tedious way
to get ahead, and sets out for the
West or for California, But in most
cases the same restless, di8contented
and speculative spirit, which carried
him away at first, renders continuous
application at any one place irksome
to him, and so he goes wandering
about the world, a sort Of semi
civilized Arab, really a yagrant in
character, and sure to die insolvent.
Meantime his fellow-apprentice who
has staid at home, practieing econ
omy and working steadily at lis
trade, has grown comfortable in lis
circumstances, and is even a citizen
of mark.
There are men of ability in every
walk of life, who are notorious for
never getting along. Usually it is
because they have mastered one pur
suit, and are on the point of making
money, they change it for another
which they do not understand, and
in a little while, what little they are
worth, is lost forever We know
scores Of such persons. Go where
you will, You will generally find that
the men, who have failed in life, are
those who never stuck to one thing
long. On the other hand, your pros
porous man, nine times out OF ten,
has always stuck to one pursuit.
