Women as Gardeners.
Weekly Star.

If there are to be beautiful flowers and
fine vegetables raised in gardens attached
to farms in the newly settled States and
Territories of the West it is likely to be
produced by women. If the table is to be
supplied with lettuce, celery, cress toma-
toes, egg plant, fine peas, beans and sweet
corn they must be in the majority of
cases raised by women. If there are
to be flowers raised in and about the
house the women must raise them. Men
do not like to bother with squash, melon
and cucumber vines, though they have no
aversion to eating the fruit they produce.
Of every hundred beds of cultivated straw
berries found on western farms an inves-
tigation would show that ninety-nine we're
planted and cultivated by women. Most
of the other small fruits produced on
western farms are raised by women. 1t
may be admitted that the wives and
daughters of western farmers have work
enough to do without taking part in the
tilling of the soil. Besides their general
household duties they have the milk to
take charge of, and generally they have
the care of the fowls. There is actual
pleasure in raising fine vegetables, small
fruits and flowers, as is evident from the
fact that many persons of wealth, refine
ment and leisure adopt gardening as a
pastime. The laying out, planting and
cultivation of garden exert refining
influence on the persons engaged in
them. A woman who is good gardener
is generally good housekeeper. The
habits of care and order employed in the
garden are likely to be transferred to the
house. 1t is an employment in which
ladies of rank and quality have been en-
gagged in all ages and countries. In the
days of slavery the wives of southern
planters did very little work in the house,
but they took pride in their proficiency
as gardeners. They delighted in having
the earliest peas and asparagus, the ten
derest lettuce, the largest tomatoes, and
the finest strawberries.

Progress in Steam Navigation.

The first steam vessel that crossed the
Atlantic was the ship Savannah, launched
in New York, in 1918. She was sailor as
we'll as steamer and therefore only carried
seventy-fve tons of coal. She made the
voyage to Liverpool in twenty-five days,
and then sailed round Scotland and visited
Stockholm, Cronstadt, and other distant
ports, but the investment did not pay. and
hence was discontinued. The first British
steamship was the Shannon, wooden yes
sci, launched in 1926. John Quincy Adams
was then president, and he congratulated
the public on this Indication of progress.
One day, in 1888, the New Workers were
astonished at the spectacle of a British
steamship sailing up the harbor. It was
the Sirius, small but well-built vessel,
whose sole distinction is that she led the
way in this grand advance, whose extent
may be inferred from the fact that the
North German line alone has carried more
than million of cabin passengers. An
other feature in the progress is found in
the vast increase in the postal system.
The Journal Of Commerce, of October Is,
1928. mentions the surprising fact that
the ship Florida, which had just arrived
from Liverpool, brought 100 letters. On
the other hand, the Oregon's mail filed
59S bags, and the number of letters sent
abroad in one day by the New York post
office was 100000

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A delicious pie may be made of canned
pineapple. If the pineapple is IN slices,
it should be chopped fine; to one large
cup of pineapple allow one cup of sugar,
half cup of butter, one cup of sweet
cream, four eggs; reserve the whites for
the top of the pie, as it should have an
under crust only. Do not throw away the
juice left in the can; it makes nice fla
vOring for pudding sauce, or with the
addition of a little gelatine and sugar
you might make small bowl of delicate
jelly.
The best remedy for sore eyes is made
as follows: take three hens eggs and
break them into a quart of clear cold rain
water. Stir until well mixed. Boil over
slow fire stirring every few minutes. Add
half an ounce of white vitroil. Boil a
short time longer and remove from the
fire. There will be curd thrown down.
Bind this on the eye or wash with the
liquid. It may be bottled and kept for
use.
Cracks in floors around the skirting
board or other parts Of the room may be
neatly and permanently filled by thoro-
ughly soaking newspapers in paste made
of one pound of -four, three quarts of
water and teaspoOnful of alum, thoro-
ughly boiled and mixed. The mixture
will be about as thick as putty, and may
be forced into the cracks with a case
knife. 1t will harden like papier mache.
Bread griddle-cakes are excellent, and
may be made of stale bread Soak a
small bowl of bread over night in milk.
In the morning mix half cupful of -four,
into which is put one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, with one
quart of milk, three well-beaten eggs
and little salt. Beat up the bread with
this batter until it is very light, and fry
a delicate brown. The batter should be
thick.
Beef fritters are the best for breakfast.
Chop pieces of steak or cold roast beef
very fine. Make batter of milk, flour
and an egg and mix the meat with 1T. Put
lump of butter into saucepan, let 1T
melt, then drop the batter into 1t from a
large spoon. Fry until brown; season
with pepper and salt and little parsley.
FOOD FOR INyALIDs.
Pork is good for nervous persons, but
is not easily digested. Wild game is ex-
cellent. Fish is good for nervous people.
Eggs boiled just hard enough to harden

J .1orvsn. The bare thought Of what Nigh
| happen III that interval, il she was absent,
| filled tire niot!ier with horror. She wrote to
| Mrs. MacRdWiH and SAINT her maid with the
letter.
| Or the result Of this proceeding i. was not
! possible to entertain n doubt.
Sydney's love for Kitty would hesitate at
no sacrifice, and Mrs. MacEdwin'S conduct
had already answered for her. She had re-
| ceived the governcss with the utmost kind
ness, and she had generously and telicately
| RETAINED from asking any questions. But
one person at Mount Morven thought it nee
essary TO investigate the motives under
which she had acted. Mrs. Presty's inquir-
| ing mind arrived at discoveries, and Mrs.
PreSty's sense of duty communicated them to
| her daughter.
There can be no sort Of doubt Catherine,
| that our good friend and neighbor has heard
| probably from the servants, of what has hap
pened; and (having her husband to consider
linen are so weak y has drawn her own con-
illusions. Ii she trusts our fascinating gov
erness, it's because she knows that Miss
| Westerfeld's affections are left behind her
| in this house. oes my explanation satisfy
| you?'
Mrs. Linley said: Never let me hear it
| againI'
And Mrs Presty answered: How very
| ungratefulr'
| The dreary interval Of expectation, after
the departure of the carriage, was brighten
| ed by a domestic event.
Thinking it possible that Mrs Presty might
know why her husband had left the house,
Mrs. Linley sent to ask for information The
| message in reply informed her that Linley
hod al
| dal's return from London. He had gone to
the railway station to meet his brother.
| Before she went downstairs to welcome
Randall, Mrs. Linley paused to consider her
situation. The one alternative before her
was to acknowledge, at the earliest oppor-
tunity, that she had assumed the serious re-
sponsibility Of sending for Sydney Wester-
field. For the first time in her life Gather
inc Linley found herself planning before
hand what she would say in speaking to her
husband.
A second message interrupted her. an
nouncing that the two brothers had Just az
rived. She joined them immediately in the
drawing-room.
Linlcy was sitting in corner by himself.
The dreadful discovery that the child's life,
(by the doctors eonfeSsion) was in danger
had completely overwhelmed him; he never
even lifted his head when his wife opened
the door Randall and Mrs. Presty were talk
ing together. The old lady's Unsuitable curl
osity was eager for news from London; she
wanted to know how Randall had amused
himself when he was not attending to bust
ness.
He WAS grieving for Kitty; and he was
looking sadly at his brother. Il don't re-
member" he answered, absently. Other wo-
men might have discovered tina. they had
chosen their time badly. Mrs Presty, with
the best possible intentions, demonstrated.
Really, Randall, you must rouse yourself.
Surely you can tell us something. Did you
meet with any agreeable people while you
were away?"

Why he got Married.
Boston Record.

Silas is a country character, who means
well. He tries to earn a living, and stink
ers around" at odd jobs and chores, and
whatever he can get to do, but he works
good deal as he talks, with painful drawl
that is very suggestive of that state of
natural restfulness which his ilk call ''bOrn
tired" Silas came to mend fence the
other day for one of his patrons in the
suburban village where he belongs, with a
peculiar air of festiVity about him. He
had on a bright, new neck-tie of blue
japanese silk, and his honest face was
covered by an expansive grin all the time
that he was receiving his orders.
"You seem happy, Silas, said Mr.. Blank,
with some curiosity, when he had finished
about the fence.
"Ya-as," drawled Silas "Ya-as, I've
been gettin married, this mornin'."
married! You? Why, Silas, man
alive, what on earth have you gone and
done that for? You can't support yourself
as it is!'
"Wull," said Silas, 81 ken poorly near
support myself n think it's durn pity
if she can't help some!'

A Cheap PeachblOOm Vase.

Shortly before the flowers began to
bloom in the spring ROckland woman
heard a knock at the door, and when she
opened it she encountered a peddler gen
tleman standing on the stoop and smiling
blandly over large basket of prehistoric
plaster images.
Madam" he said, smiling an inch or
two wider, g I haf-"
Don't want en-" the woman snapped,
beginning to shut the door.
The image man held up a vase tempt
ingly, besplashed with much red and yell
low paint.
"Haf you read off ther Shonny Morgan
vase dot soldt for $4,000 in New York;"
he asked, with his head on one side
The woman slowly opened the door
again and said she had.
The image man looked cautiously up
and down the street, and sinking his voice
to hoarse whisper, said:
"I hat here vase dat ish gombanion
piece. only it is larcher. So hellup me
Gracious. mine brudder shtole dis vase,
und if you will not gift me away, sells 1t
to you for $3.50"
And she finally bought it for 35 cents
and last years calico dress.

'sWHY ?"
FLORA MONTGOMERY.

Why IL it, why. when baby wee,
Grown tired OF its infant play,
Sinks down TO rest on . parents knee
At the gathering dusk Of day
Why il IL q tear in the parents eye
Will efr'times tremble and fall,
A cob from the heavine bosom rise?
the babe is asleep that's all.
Why is it. why, when a baby wee,
Grown tired OF it's short life play.
Sinks down to rest on the Saviour's knee
At the close Of another day
Why is it, oh why, a parent will moan,
And cling to the child and weep?
The angels will guard the night alene,
For the babe is only asleep.
The waking will come st dawn Of day,
When two little eyes will ope--
BE ths night long, still watch and pray"
And rest in q truthful hope.
There is always dawn to follow night
There Is always a waking from sleep.
And ever anon a CLEAN of light
Will reward the vigils we keep.

I'le Evil Genius.
ADOMEsTIC STORY.
BY wILKIH COLLINS.

The governess stopped in tho middle Of tho
room. Her head sank on her breast; her
quiet, con vulsivo breathing was audible in
the silence. Mrs. Linley advanced to the
place in which Sydney stood. There was
something divine in her beauty as she look
ed cOmpasSionately at the shrinking girl and
held out her hand.
Sydney fell On her knees. In silence she
lifted that generous hand to her lips. In ST.
lence Mrs. Lnley raised her, took the writ
ing which testified to her character from the
table and presented it. LinIey looked at his
wife, looked at the gOvernesS. He waited,
and still neither the enc nor the other utter
ed a word. It was more than he could en-
dure. He addressed himself to Sydney first.
TRY to thank Mrs. Linley," he said.
She answered, family; Il can't speakp'
He appealed to his wife next Say last
kind word to her." he pleaded.
She made an effort, a vain effort to obey
him. 4 gesture Of despair answered for her
as Sydney had answered: Il can't SpeakW
True, nobIy true, to the Christian virtue
that repents, to the Christian virtue that for
gives, those three persons stood together on
the brink Of separation, and forced their frall
humanity to suffer and submit.
In mercy to the women LinIey summoned
the courage to part them. He turned to his
wife first.
II may say, Catherine, that she has your
good wishes for happier days to Gomez"
Mrs. Linley pressed his hand.
He approached Sydney and gave his wife's
message. 1t was in his heart to add some
thing equally kind on his own part. He could
only say what we have all said-how sin
cerely, how sorrOwfuIly, we all knOw-the
common word ''goOd-by !'-the common
wish God bless YOU"
At that last moment the child ran into the
room in search Of her mother.
There was a low murmur of horror at the
sight of her. That innocent heart, they had
all hoped, might have been spared the misery
of the parting scene!
She saw that Sydney had her hat and cloak
on. you're dressed to go out" she said.
Sydney turned away to hide her face. 1t was
too late; Kitty had seen the tears. ooh, my
darling, you're not going awayp She look
ed at her father and mother us she going
away?' They were afraid to answer her.
With all her little strength she clasped her
beloved friend and playfellow round the
waist. "My own dear, you're not going to
leave me!' The dumb misery in Sydney's
face struck Linley with horror. He placed
Kitty in her mothers arms. The child's pit
eous cry: ooh don't let her go! don't let
her goW followed the governess as she suf-
fered her martyrdom and went out. Linley's
heart ached; he watched her until she was
lost to view. "GOnep he murmured to him
self-'gOne fOreVerI'
Mrs. Presty heard him, and answered him:
She'll come back againv'

Mrs Linley's first impulse in ordering the
carriage was to use it herself. One look at
the child reminded her that her freedom of
action began and ended at the bedside. Two
hours at least must elapse before Sydney
Westerheld could be brought back to Mount

tions for browning -four, which is very
nice to thicken and flavor any but white
| soups From this stock variety of soups
| can be made. By using different havors
and vegetables one can vary the order in
definitely. The best bean soup I know is
made as follows: Look over and wash a
pint of beans and put them to soak over
night in quart of warm water. In the
morning, drain and put them in kettle
with water to cover, and let them come Just
to the boiling point. Stir in one-fourth
teaspoOnful soda, and carefully remove
the scum which will soon rise. Then drain
and put them in a porcelain kettle with a
quart of stock and one of water, and a
teaspoonful of salt. Cover and simmer
for three hours. Then pass the soup
through a seive and return to the
kettle. Mix to a paste a teaspoonful of
Drowned -four and stir in when the soup
boils. Add more salt if necessary, and a
very little white or cayenne pepper, and
pour into a warn tureen. Serve with
toasted bread or crackers
The bread may be cut in small squares
and brown delicately in very hot oven.
1t is less trouble than to toast it. Fold
napkin In any fanciful design and put
on a plate, then pile the bread upon it
and pass about the table to serve. 1t is
nicer than when the soup is poured over
it in the tureen, and if the table be
somewhat scantily furnished, as is often
the case with a soup dinner, and it makes
another dish.
The meat which is left can be made
into the vegetable stews or meat dump
hngs-receipts for which have been given
IN the previous visits to our House
hold dining room, or very savory pie
may be made. Line deep baking dish
with rather thick crust (if your oven
does not bake well at the bottom, put
the crust only around the sides of the
d1sh) and put in the meat prepared in this
manner: Cut In as even slices or pieces
as possible-it won't be possible to carve
it very handsomely put it in stew
pan with cup of the stock Git is good
plan to keep pint when making the
soup, to use in warming up the meat
and sufficient water to cover the meat.
Add tablespoonful of butter, and salt to
season just right; always adding the salt
after the butter is we'll mixed in, that it
may not be made too salt When it boils,
take out the meat and put half of it in the
pie-dish, sprinkle over it heaping tea
spoonful of flour; then add the rest of the
ihio"'' pun oEeI 1t d scdh6 cup OF tne
gravy, sprinkle over it a teaspoonful of
flour, and put over it a teaspoonful of
butter cut in bits; put on the top crust,
which should be cut two or three times
across the center, and bake three-quarters
of an hour in steady oven. Heat the
remainder of the gravy, adding little
water if necessary, and stir in teaspoon
of flour mixed smooth with little water.
When it thickens pour into warm gravy
dish and send to the table Immediately.
