Beautiful Adornment.

There are many varieties of flow
ers which require but little care, in
order to obtain from them fine dis
play of bloom from early spring
till late fall. OF these every country
home, whether in village, rural
town, or on the farm, ought to have
an abundant supply. The pains be-
slowed upon them will be well re-
paid in the pleasure they will afford
both to the household and its guests.
A small buoquet of fragrant blossoms
on the table at breakfast, dinner, or
tea, adds a grace to the pretty dish
es and the shiniest silver, and gives
an air of refinement to the plainest
board. Flowers are the most beauti-
full adornment of the parlor or
'living-room"-always excepting
the incompatible beauty of bright
and loving faces-and in the sick
room are veritable minister of
angels" TO weary eyes and sad
hearts.

Let the Girls Romp.

Most mothers have II dread of
ronlps, 81 they lecture the girls
daily on the propriolies, and cxhort
them to be little ladies. They like
to see them quiet and gentle and as
prim as possible. The lot Of such
children is rather pitiable, for they
are deprived of the fun and frolic,
which they are entitled to. Child
ren-boys and girls--must have ex-
ercise to keep them healthy. De-
prive them Of it, and they will fade
away like flowers without sunshine.
Running, racing, skipping, climbing
these are the things that strength
en- the muscles, expand the chest
and build up the nerves. The mild
dose of exercise taken in the nur-
sery with calisthenics or gymnastics
will not invigorate the system like a
good romp in the open air.
Mothers, therefore, who counsel
their little ones to play very quietly
make a mistake. Better the laugh
ing, rosy checked, romping girl than
the pale, lily-faced one, who is call
ed every inch lady. The latter
rarely breaks things, or teaIs her
dresses, or tires her mothers patience
as the former does; but after all
what does the tearing and breaking
amount to? 1t is not wise policy
to putlan old head on young should
ers. Childhood is the time fol
childish pranks and plays. The
girls will grow into womanhood
soon enough. Let them be children
as long as they can. Give them
plenty of fresh air and sunlight, and
let them run and romp as much as
they please. By all means give us
healthy, hearty, romping girls, rath-
er than pale faced little ladies, con
demned from their very cradles to
nervousness, headache and similar
ailments.

To Preserve Out Flowers.

The secret by which florists pre-
serve cut flowers in their freshness
is this. Take a sharp knife, and by
a slanting, clean cut through the
stem, remove a small piece of the
end which has been in water, every
day, and replace the water with
clean, after rinsing the vase thor
oughly. Do not do this cutting
with scissors, for this closes the
cells of the stem so that no water
can enter, and also crushes them SO
that rot begins.

GATHERING PEARS BEFORE
MATURITY.

Pick a few at intervals from
week or two to two or three days be-
fore full maturity, marking the dates,
and observing their quality, when
soft, with few gathered from the
tree when fully ripe. The best time
may be thus definitely ascertained.
The rule among pear growers is to
gather the crop when, by lifting the
hanging specimens into an upright
position, they readily separate or
crack off from the tree. Select the
largest and Iipest first, which will
leave the smaller and greener room
to grow, increase, and develop into
later and larger ones.

The Philadelphia Times says that
many of the fine and expensive
orchids seen in florists shops are
grown by a woman in New Jersey.
She was a school teacher, saved
little money and married, but on
her wedding tour her husband died,
and she could not get back her
position as a teacher. Her father
left her little piece of pine land in
New Jersey, and in very small
way she started Horticulture. Now
she has taken her two young sisters
into partnership, and does a big
business.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? 3?
If you will remember a few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively un-
known,-to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to. pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

cure. We recommend Green's August

A NOBLE SOUL.

DR. Amieis, writing of his schoolmates,
says that the one That pleased him best
was the largest boy i'll the class, with a
great head and broad shoulders, named
Garonne.
One moruing before the arrival of the
master, three or four boys were tormentng
Crossi, boy " it'll red hair and useless
arm, which he carried suspended from his
neck. His mother peddled potherbs; his
father had gone away TO America.
They were punching him with rulers,
hitting him in the face with chestnut
shells, and minimizing him, with his arm
hanging from his neck.
Franti, a boy 18th a repulsive face,
sprang upon bench, and, pretending that
lie was carrying basket on each arm, aped
Crossis mother.
Many of the boys laughed loudly. Cros-
81 Selling an inkstand, hurled it at the
mimie's head. Franti lodged, and the
inkstand struck the master, who entered
al the moment, full in the breast.
The boys flew to their places, and be-
came silent. The master, going to his
table, said in restrained voice
Who did it p
No one replied
Raising his voice, the master cried. Who

poor Crossi.

PETERS wuFE's MOTHER.

And when Jesus was come into Peters
house he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick
OF a fever And he touched her hand, and the
fever left her. and she arose and ministered
unto them.--Matt. viii, II, Is.
The miracles of Cbrist-w bile they are
not nature, SO neither are they against ma
ture. Beyond nature, beyond and abore the
nature which we know, they are. but not
contrary to it. The healing of the
sick can in no way be termed against ma
ture, seeing that the sickness which was
healed was against the true nature of man
that it is sickness which is abnormal and
not health. The healing is the restoration
of the primitive order. We should term
the miracle not the infraction of law, but
behold in it the lower law neutralized, and
for the time put out Of working by
higher; and Of this abundant analogousex-
amples are evcTmore going forward before
our eyes. Continually We behold in the
world around lower laws held in restraint
by higher, mechanic by dynamic, chemical
by vital, physical by moral; yet we say
not, when the lower thus gives place in
favor of the higher, that there was any
violation Of law, that anything contrary
to nature came to pass rather we acknowl-
edge The law of greater freedom swallow
ing up the law of a lesser. Thus, when |
lift my arm, the law Of gravitation is not,
as far as my arm is concerned, denied or
annihiated; it exists as much as ever, but
is held in suspense by the higher law Of
my will So in a miracle of healing,
the law Of disease, as to its power and
progress, is suspended, by the Divine will,
so that tie original law of health flows on
again-Notes on tie Miracles Of Christ

CARE OF THE COMPLEXION.

In closing my talk with the ladies on
this subject would classify and sun up
my advice something like this:
Train your features to composure, and
avoid all grimaeing habits.
Exercise much in the open air.
Use oils, creams and fruits freely nyour
diet.
Drink simple, blood purifying herb teas
frequently.
Do not wash your faces oftener than
once day, but apply some harmless
cream or meal at least twice in twenty
four hours.
If niggardly Natue or jealous Time on a
hot summer day necessitates the additions
of power puff to your toilet articles, use
it with discretion and moderation.
And in addition to all this you must
keep your minds busy, your thought cheer
ful and Your souls free from bitterness if
you want fresh, attractive exterior be-
yond the leeting springtime of youth

Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, of the school of
domestic economy at the Iowa Agricultur-
al College. says:
In roasting meats of all kinds the meth
cd adopted should be the one that in the
most perfect manner preserves the juices
inside the meat. To roast beef in the best
possible manner, place the clean-cut side
of the meat upon smoking hot pan,
which must be over quick fire. Press it
close TO the pan until scared aud slightly
Drowned Reverse and let the opposite
side become similarly scared and brown.
Then put it at once in the oven, the heat
of which should be firm and steady. but
not too intense, and leave il undisturbed
until cooked The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound. if it is TO be
rare, less half an hour deducted from the
aggregate time ON account Of soaring. In
other words, pound roast of beef
will require an hour and quarter, six
pound roast an hour and half, and so on.
If the oven is not too hot the beef re-
quires DO basting and is better without it.
When the oven is at the proper tempera-
trre and the cooking is going on all right,
the meat will keep up gentle suffering
in the pan. II, upon opening the oven
door this suffering is not perceptible,
more heat is required. But if in addition
to the suffering any smoke is diseernible
in the oven. the heat is too intense and
should be lessened. Unless the heat ofthe
oven is too great, the drippings in the pan
will not burn and smoke and when the
meat is cooked there will be thin coating
of brown jelly in the pan where the meat
rested, which by the addition Of stock OF
water will make delicious gravy.
A roast Of beef should never be washed
and il il has accidently been wet or moist
ened, il should be carefully wiped dry be-
fore it is scared or put to cook. Soaring
almost instantly coats the cut side of
piece ef meat, and prevents the escape of
juices in the after-process of roasting,
while a firm, steady heat gently but
thoroughly cooks it, and thus both juices
and flavor are preserved Basting is a
troublesome as well as damaging process.
And as salt and water have tendency to
tougher and extract the jaices of meat
they should not be used on it while roasting
If It is desired to have the meat sweet,
Juicy and tender.
