THE LADIES.
SUBJ CTS in WHICH THEY ARE
SPECIALLY INTERESTED.
Notions, Etc, of the Day-Sug-
gestive Thoughts.

Now, ladies'" said the demonstration,
will show you the size, shape and re-
lative positions Of the vital organs in this
subject, and she made the big-waisted
woman stand forth With this piece of
chalk will draw on the surface of her
body the outlines of her lungs, heart,
stomach, and so on" With rapid skill she
covered the jersey with white lines, and
the woman soon looked like living figure
stepped out of chart in doctors office
That is an exhibit of woman as she
ought to be- the lecturer said, and will
proceed to show you how most of you are"
Then the prettily- shaped young woman,
who could wear Undetermined corset, and
yet had as much bulk as the other, though
differently apportioned, was put under
chalk tracery. The lungs and stomach
were placed higher up than the other, and
her gizzard and other things incidental to
the human interior were represented as
lower down: all of which was declared to
be abnormally awful. But do you know
what l observed 1t was that her heart
was in the right place. Clara Belle, in Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
PANsY BED.
A spot for pansies should be selected
where it is little shady at least in the
middle of the day, if such a spot is to be
had, but if not, il can be where it is fully
exposed-a place tntirely shaded is not de-
sirable. A light soil made rich with we'll
rotted stable manure would be a place the
plants would delight in, but if the soil is
haa l,a w. h,,
ging in plenty of the same kind of fertl-
izer. Seed can be sown any time during
the present month or the next to raise
strong plants before winter. Sow the seed
in shallow drills, and water lightly; take
little freshly cut grass and sprinkle il lightly
over the bed, thus making mulch to pre-
vent the soil from becoming too dry.
Watch carefully for the first appearance of
the young plants, and as soon as they ap-
pear arrange the grass to lie between the
rows, allowing the sun access to the plants,
otherwise they would quickly become
drawn. If weeds should appear remove
The mulch and hoe the soil, afterwards
mulching again. When the plants are suf-
ficiently strong, or about an inch high,
transplant them TO stand from four to six
inches apart in rows, with the rows ten to
twelve inches apart. The location of this
permanent bed and its preparation should
be the same as already described. If the
weather should be very dry after trans
planting. it will be necessary to supply wa
ter as the case may indicate. BY following
these directions one need not fail to have
vigorous plants by October iek's Maga-
zine.

THINKS LOVE Is PAY ENOUGH.
In all our marriage services if remem-
Der rightly, some such stipulation is made
as that we shall love our husbands" 1t
is, as | understand it, the principal part of
the contract. Let those wives who are
clamoring for pay ask themselves if they
understood this part of their obligation.
Let them ask their womens hearts if they
know what love is. If they do not they
are not wives, ald if t. y do they will be
patient. Tennyson says in Locksley
Hall"
Love took up the harp of life and smote on all
its strings with might:
Smote the chord of self that trembling passed
in music out of sight.
The wife who values her labors for her
husband at so many dollars and cents has
not lost self in her love for him." Wife"
