Hanging Baskets.

The hanging basket is growing rap
idly in favor, and as a consequence is
being greatly improved. There is no
excuse for their absence from palace or
hovel-the cottage or the farm house.
The pot or receptacle for the flowers
for the hanging basket, is simple and
cheap. They can be had to suit any
taste or purse. But it is q matter OF
Indifference what the character of the
pot is, as it is generally hid with the
dropping contents of the basket.
But the character of the contents is a
matter of taste and Judgment. There
should be variety in the basket-at
least that is the idea of the writer, to
give it pleasing effect. Some upright
in growth, while others should be vines
and dropping. For this purpose Geran-
iums, Centanieas, Begonias and Coleus
Especially the Mu1ticolor, Eclat or
verschaffeltiD can be combined with
the Wandering Jew, (Tradescantia)
the Dew and Ice Plants, (Mesembry-
anthemum) and other varieties giving
pleasing results. But climbers, in the
selections, must not be omitted. But
in this care must be exercised in the
variety to suit the situation, and the
basket. For most hanging baskets it
is necessary to have English Ivy. Pas
sion Vine, Madeira Vine, Othonna. etc.
But let no one do without these adorn-
ments of the house and home for the
reason that the means are not adequate
to buy expensive pots or plants. Al
most anything can be made to loor
charming.

The Wheel Horse,

THERE Is wheel horse in every fam
lily; some one who takes the load on all
occasions. 1t may be the older daugh-
ter. possibly the father, but generally
it is the mother. Extra company. sick
ness, give her heavy increase of the
burden she is always carrying. Even
summer vacations bring less rest and
recreation to her than to others OF the
family. The CITY house must be put in
order to leave; the clothing for herself
and the children which a country So
journ demands seems never to be
finished: and the excursions and picnics
which delight the heart of the young
people are not wholly delight to the
''provider." once heard husband
say, ':My wife takes her sewing
machine into the country and has a
good time doing up the fall sewing"
At the time, did not fully appreciate
the enormity of the thing; but it has
ranked in my memory. and appears to
me now an outrage. How would it be
for the merchant to take his books into
the country with him, to 90 over his ac-
counts for little amusement? Suppose
the minister writes up few extra SER
mons, and the teacher carries He
brew grammar and perfects himself in
a new language. ready tor the opening
OF school in the fall.
Woman's work is never done. She
would never have it done. Ministering
to father and mother, chelishing her
husband. nourishing and training her
children-no true woman wants to see
her work done. But because it is new
er done, she needs resting times.
Every night the heavy truck is
turned up, the wheel horse is put up
into the stable, and labor and care are
dismissed till the morrow. The thills
of the household van cannot be turned
up at night, and the tired householder
cannot 60 into a quiet stall for repose.
She goes to sleep tonight feeling the

ready to open. at any moment to an

both eyes, bright and early to see the
machinery well started for new day.
There is never any time that seems
convenient for the mother of little
children to leave home even for day:
but with little kindly help from her
husband, and a little resolution in her.
self, she may 90, and be so much the
better for it, that the benefit will over
flow from her into the whole house
hold. She will bring home some new
idea and will work with the enthusiasm
that comes from a fresh start.
One word for the older sister; who
makes the salad for lunch and the des-
sert for dinner; who takes the position
of wheel horse quite cheerfully while
her younger sisters make themselves
beautiful and entertaining, and, one
after another, find zone true heart
apiece to love them, and leave the
maiden to grow into an old maid.
However willing her sacrifice, it is one:
and nothing but the devoted love and
gratitude of the households whose fires
she has helped to kindle will reward
her for what she has Christian
