The Daisy.
From School and Home.l

Inc Daisy.
From School and Home.l
The daisy is pretty little wheel,
with gold hub and spokes of silver.
1t is the "constellated flower that
never SETS" Daisies come in starry
multitude, and last all the year
The Rose is but Summer Queen,
The daisy never dies.
1t not only lives within doors, but
is perennial and so hardy that it has
sometimes been found blooming in
winter. 1t belongs to the great COM
posite family. There are several va
rieties. In the West the plant grows
tall and coarse, but the flower is small
and delicate; while in the East
daisies grow Near the ground, and nrs
much larger, resembling their cult
waited sister, the Marguerite of the
florist.
In old English gardens, the daisy
is called "lIerb Margaret" and
bairn's-worth, or, flower loved by
children. 1t is the "gowan" of the
Scotch. But by whatever name it is
known, or wherever found growing,
it is the fewer beloved of all, save
thrifty farmers, who complain chat it
exhausts the soil without yielding any
recompense save its beauty. Next to
children, who delightin making daisy
chains, the young maidens, who use
the flower to tell their fortunes, the
poets love the daisies best.
Chaucer said daisies were a blissful
sight, and softened all his sorrow.
He calls the daisy the "eye of day."
the compress of flowers" and never
tires of singing its praises. Shake
speare says its white investments fig
ure innocence.
Burns daisy, the "wee, crimson
tipped Hover" is the best known and
loved of all poetical daisies, because
of the grace and feeling with which
the Scotch bard tells its story
Once upon mountain farm,
As a plowman drove the share,
Fell blossom small and fair;
Then he sang forvery pity
The shorn dalsys passing ditty,
and thus the daisy was immortalized
The poet Wordsworth saw the
daisy under various forms. TO his
fancy it was now "demure num-"
again ''ruby-crowned QUEEN He
thought it 50 genial in its influence,
so apt to Undue the mind with love
for simple pleasures, that he rejoiced

is by no means plebian flower, but
is both aesthetic and aristocratic. Its
inner horets are bell-shaped and ex-
elusive, yet it makes a happy com
promise by having the outer rays split
down, to the great delight of the
nectar-loving bee.

An Orderly Home.

In Ordef TO nave an orderly home
what mother does not desire her home
to be such?-the children should at
an early age be taught to put their
little possessions in place where
they will always find them, without
running to mamma, or rummaging up
the work baskets for the mittens
which Bessie thinks she put there. 1t
is good plan to put on the upper
part of the inner side of the closet
door in the sitting-room, a bag with
several compartments, each initiated,
and the whole marked "gloves," into
which Bessie, Nellie, John and Harry,
are to place their mittens and gloves.
On the lower half of the door, a bag
of stouter material, stitched into
eight compartments, should be placed
for boots and shoes. An upholstered
box can be made very convenient by
upholstering it nicely and it will an
swer the purpose of an ottoman and
a receptacle for surplus boots and
shoes. There should be placed a
row of hat-hooks in some convenient
place and within the reach of all the
children; each child should have his
or her respective hook, where he or
she should be taught TO always hang
the school-bag, coat and hat, imme-
dlately on coming home, instead of
throwing the school-bag on the sofa,
the coat and hat over a chair, and
the rubbers and mittens here and
there, and when they are wanted the
next morning mamma and the whole
household run hither and thither to
find everything so the negligent child
will not be too late for school. If
the mothers of small children will try
this, and compel each child to pay a
small fine out of his or her weekly
allowance, into money box provided
for the purpose, if anything belong
ing to John or Nellie, or Harry or
Bessie is found lying carelessly
around. You will find this to be a
stimulus, and the habit of having a
place for everything and keeping
everything in its place will grow on
the child, and besides instilling the
good principles of orderliness into the
child, it will save you many steps and
annoyances.
Each bedroom should contain a
whisk-broom, with receptacle for it,
and each floor should have a dust
pan, small broom, large broom, dust
cloth, and feather buster. The chill
dren should be taught to keep their
own rooms in order. Even the boys
can sweep, brush up, dust and make
their own beds. 1t will make them
better men, In every way, if they
know how to do certain household
duties.
A very convenient basket for hold
ing hosiery, Aannels and such articles
as need repairing, is nothing more
than an ordinary peach basket-one
of the lighter kind. Stain it black
walnut and yarnish, and line the in
side with colored muslin-red, blue
or as the fancy dictates, Ribbon can
be put around the top, and large
bow one side, with a bunch of paper
flowers, which will make it look very
pretty and gay.

OTTAWA, ILL.,, Nov. 6.-Thomas H
Baird, a prominent and wealthy farmer,
living at Vermillionville, was shot and
instantly killed by his negro servant a.
a late hour Saturday night. His dangb-
ter, Mrs. DIR. Bullock, postmistress OF

Yesterdays experience seemed to
prove beyond a doubt the success of the
Australian system of voting. In the
cities the voting places presented a re-
markedly quiet appearance. The voting
proceeded with dispatch and the voters
enjoyed a freedom from the importuni-
ties of ballot distributors never before
known. There was some slight friction
caused by a conflict Of opinion with re-
gard to the duties of precinct and other
officers, but 1t was Insignificant and
made bat little trouble. With regard TO
the ballots themselves there was little
or no complaint From all over the state
reports indicate a very quiet election
and a light vote. Returns come in
slowly. There is probably not the
slightest doubt that the republican can
didate for governor is elected by a good
majority.
