The Nation, some time ago, in an article
on THE Development of Games, remarked ::
"If we could imagine the world carried on
by women alone, one OF the first results OF
the extinction of man would unquestion-
ably be the disappearance from it of almost
all the games and sports which now c0nsi-
tute so large a part of its serious work" In
reply lady writes: Another result of the
condition imagined by the writer would be
the disuse of stimulants. Games are stimu-
lants; and while woman sometimes enjoys
a game as she occasionally takes glass of
wine, Yet the fact remains that for the great
majority the stimulant is unneCcessary--that
is uncraved Men have few resources of
pleasure within themselves. The can not
enjoy nature, because they have no fine
perception of color believe men 10 be
equally OOtuse with regard to forms. II is
impossible to say what is the most beaut-

women will agree with me that for delivery
OF form nothing exceeds a fern How sell
dom does boy notice fern without haY

needs 10 be told that it is beautiful; and she

would never wish to exchange such memo
RES for those of the boys successful game
of bail" To which the Nation says: IN
men have few resources of pleasure within
themselves, why is IL mat they always
manage TO have good time together, while
women themselves admit that a similar meet
ing of their own sex is apt to be somewhat
stupid? We are not aware that science
had shown that the majority of men have
no fine perception of color. What science
has shown is that larger percentage of men
than women are color blind; but the num-
Der is only per cent. AS to form, the vast
majority of the great painters, sculptors and

crown the whole. there can be no question
that the most beautiful thing in the world
so far as form is concerned, is not a fern---a
maiden hair" maiden herself. But
to whom do women owe their superior
beauty? To no one else than man. He has,
in the course of thousands of years contin-
ually selected the most beautiful women for
marriage. until the law of the survival of
the fittest has given woman the superior
beauty she now has"

About Telling the Truth.

All noble boys aud girls tell the truth
as q matter of course. In fact, the greatest
possible insult that cen be offered person is
to doubt his word. No matter what conse-
quences are involved, it is always your duty
to tell plainly and clearly just what has
really happened so far as you are concerned.
l once knew little fellow of quite timid
and sensitive nature who had the misfortune
to break window while playing ball in the
school yard. The teacher was thought to be
very stern. and Charlie was very much
frightened, but he went straight in doors
and up to the desk, and told what he had
done. A day or two later somebody said,
"Who broke that window, Mr.. -2" ''An
honorable person, sir,' was the reply, loud
enough for everybody to hear.
When truth-telling concerns not yourself
only, but others, it is sometimes right for
you to refrain from speaking, simply declin-
ing to ans wer rather than to tell tales. You
must Judge about this when circumstances
arise, put of one thing you may be sure, that
it is never right to evade, or alter, or color
statement. Be true, whatever happens.
An old pagan Emperor used to say, mo
matter what other folks do, must be good,
iustas if the emerald should say, Il must al
ways be emerald and keep my color" Do
not hesitate when questioned, but look the
one who questions you straight in the face,
and say what is right to say, modestly and
frankly.
Candor does not require you, on the other
hand, to go about saying dsagreeable things
because they are true. A little girl used
to know once made q visit in house where
were twin sisters. one of whom was much
prettier than the other. What should little
miss do but remark, al think Eunice is fal
| more beautiful than Elsie. and I've hearC
Aunt Clara say she thinks so too" Tbi
was true, but it was true thing which wa
never meant to be talked of. And the little
| girl felt very much ashamed of herself whel
she grew older and recollected it.

The Heavens In November.

On the 1st of November the planet Saturn
will be in opposition to the sun, rising Just
as the sun SETS From the present until
Saturn is considerably past opposition,
opportunity for observation will be
excellent, provided there is q reasonable
amount of pleasant weather. The
beautiful rings are now well spread out, the
main division in them being visible with
quite small telescopes During opposition
in the autumn of 1873 Saturn appeared like
globe impaled on glowing rod, the rings
were SO much foreshortened For three
years the position of the planet with respect
to the earth has been slowly changing, so
the wonderful ring system is now visible in
all it's beauty.
On the 9th day of November the planet
Jupiter, which now shines just beneath the
Pleiades, will be in opposition. During op-
position Jupiter will show to great advan-
tage his immense globe. The great REQ spot

training Tomatoes.

The tomato crop has become one of the
most important in the domestic as well as
IN the market garden, and should be care
fully looked after. There was a time when
the eating Of Of tomatoes, raw aud cooked,
was oyerdone, but they have become stool,
fruit to be eaten for salad or sauce, and are
still more useful for Aavoring soups and
othor dishes. In the East they have been
used for long period in the latter form, ms
an indispensable article ofdiet.
little care in training the plants and
moderate trimming will greatly promote
their frutfulness, advance the time of their
ripening and improve thor flavor. 1t is
well to have them set out on the sunny side
Of wal or fence against which they may
be trained on a slanting trellis, so as to af-
ford free circulation Of air behind aud at
the same time expose the fruit constantly to
to the sun. The sun is essential to the per-
fecton Of the fruit as much as with cherries
or apples 1t is often excluded from. the
tomatoes by tho rank growth of vines ard
leaves, and so the fruit is slow in coming to
perfection without the ripening influence oI
the suns rays.
Another great advantage Of training to
matoes in the manner suggested is that they
are kept out of the dirt, are always clean
and ready for use and are not liable to rot
The common mode Of letting the plants take
care of themselves, and the fruit lie on the
ground, exposes tho tomatoes to dirt and rot
and yermin, from which they may easily
be preserved by little extra pains.
Where trellis or frame cannot be made It
is well TO put brush on the ground before
they have had much growth, aud allow the
plants 10 run on the brush. THIS will keep
the fruit out Of the dirt, and an occasional
moderate trimming Of the vines and leaves
will expose it to the sun. But good frame
will pay well in the end.
