A man wants some one place in home
that he can call his very own, some
portion of the house where his will is
law. where no conflict OF authority can
arise. says the Ladies Home journal.
This Is not altogether for the purpose
Of securing solitude. for his family is
usually most welcome there, but the
need for 1t springs from the desire for
that sense of proprietorship which is
his habit abroad, and from the wish to
be abls TO do precisely as he plcases
In 1t least \ corner Of his own house.
Here should be the comforts that the
man devises for himself. the lounging
chairs, tho desk and library. his smok-
ing materials with license to use them.
Here lie should be able to feel abso-
lutely ut his ease. troubled by no fear
Of 'mussing. things" no need to thread
his way anxiously through u maze of
furniture and various decorative OBJ
structions. trembling lest something
should be overturned and broken. and
there should be the seat Of that ad-
admired disorder to which lie only has
the clue. His books and papers should
be left as he leaves them. though 10
the orderly female eye they may seem
may be Uttered with piles Of books,
magazines. letters. manuscripts. every
thing that can possibly find place
there. but II woman wishes TO Sc
cure to man one OF his most cherished
home comforts she will let things re.
main as he places them.

Ata meeting Of the Rhode Island

Cushman, aplarist Of the agricultural
experiment station, read, q paper en-
titled 1.-The Relation OF Bees to Fruit. !"
Mr.. Cushmun illustrated his subject
charts, ind spoke about forty minutes.
He began by saying that he was q
bee keeper und would present views
attained by personal observation. The
essential and important point made by
MIR. Cushtnan was that bss3 &ers. not
Injurious 10 growing fruit, but that IN
the contrary, they were beneficial to
howSrs and the bloom OF fruit trees.
In this belief he was supported by every
member OF the society present. MIR.
Cushman referred generally 10 the pro-
cess OF development OF flowers, and said
that some fertilizod themselves by the
wind, but the great bulk is fortified
by insects. The latter produce cross
fertilization, very important thing
for plant life. To illustrate his posi-:
ton Mr. Chshman quotsd lib6rally
from celebrated writer's On the subjSot
Of self and cross fertilization. INSECTS
and flowers IRE benefited alike: He
EXPLAINED how bees get H. the nectar
OF flowers ind tho result Of theit action
In ihnoculution. He referred 10 the
various kinds OF insects that get their
food from flowers and fruit The
habits OF flowers correspond to the
habits OF insects, and both nre indis.
pensible to each other.
