think there is not pleasanter thing
comes into my daily life
Than the answering smile my smile will bring
On the lips OF my own dear wife.
at the morning meal, on the evening hearth
1t brfghtens my household place;
Nosmatter how rainy the day may be.
There is sunshine in her face
But still there is twice in a working day
That find in her smile spell
More subtly sweet, more cherrily strong,
Than the tongue of man can tell
The first is when, at the morning hour,
start for the busy store,
And hopefully take, at the garden gate,
Her last sweet smile at the door.
For then, no matter how anxious am,
No matter how dark the day,
Until will can manage way.
That parting smile at the open door,
Goes with me the whole day long
Is brighter than sunshine, stronger than wine,
And sweeter by far than song.
But the sweetest and dearest smile of all
Is the one that every night
Makes the beautiful face love so well
With Welcome and Love alight;
When turn the corner it beams on me,
And every trouble is DER:
And then could do well-what could not do
For the wife who Is waiting with love so true
And smile at the open door?

An exchange gives the following hints
in the way Of floor decoration: If the
diningroom floor IS of pine, paint it a
light gray. When dry, paint q border
of green. Having sketched a group Of
leaves upon a sheet of tin, have the tin
man cut it out like stencil letter. BY
placing this upon the green and paint
ing over with a darker hue quite pref
ty border will result. The possession
Of artistic ttlent will obviate the neces-
sity of asking help f.om the tinman.

THE Oleander.

In it's native state the Oleander is O.
riverside plant, and as such likes good
living, being born to mud, water and
warmth. AS the. shoots made in one
season flower the next if we'll ripened,
it is always desirable to get strong
growth on the plants as early as practi-
cable. Therefore, they should from
the early spring be given 3 warm, light
place in which to grow, and receive lib
eral supplies Of weak, liquid manure.
An excellent way to summer small sized
plants is to set them in rich howerbed
or border until about October /, when
they must be potted again. After the
blooming season Of plants in pots Or
boxes is over, some of the old soil should
be removed from the roots and they be
reset into receptacle q little larger
than the old one, using rich loan to
fill in around the roots. It should be
well known that this handsome shrub
possesses some poisonous principles,
for if the hand is cut when pruning it, a
dangerous wound may result. Pruning
as rule is not necessaryto the plant,
but it may be we'll once in some years
apart to cut it back with O. view Of i'm
proving it's general shape.
