We can learn some lessons from men,

a shabby dress suit for Office wear? Put
your money in frOck suitable fol BUSH

The Housewives Objection to Dust.

This clearly instinct, bred for so
many generations, is great safeguard
against disease. The dust of the ordin-
airy house is very poisonous, if enough
of it be breathed, or if it be allowed to
reach an abraded surface. If, for in
stance, a little of it were distributed
over the wounds of the patients in the
surgical ward of a hospital, nine out of
ten of the patients would die. The
inner surfaces of the body are likewise
so very delicate that breathing it in
sufficient quantity would have, in a
measure, the same effect.-Selected.

We connt the broken Tyres that rest
Where the sweet waiting singers slumber-
But DER their silent singers breast
The wild flowers who will stoop to number

And noisy Fame is proud to win them
Alas for those who never sing,
But die with all their music In theml
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story
Weep not for the voiceless, who have known
The cross without the crown of glory
Not where Leucadlan breezes sweep

But where the glittering night dews weep

Hanging Baskets.

To keep hanging baskets from drying
ont is the chief point of importance in
their care. A very good method is to
hang the basket where it can be
sprinkled every day, either with a
watering-pot, using a generous supply
of water, or with a whisk broom. Dip
the broom in water slightly warmed,
shake il little, to remove the greater
weight of water, then, by whisking it
quickly over the plants, a fine spray
can be thrown, which is better than the
spray from the watering-pot.-ET.

ington newspaper.
2. The STAR has larger and fuller circuIa-
tion in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading and purchasing population, than any
other newspaper in the world. 1t is essentially
a home paper the extent to which it is relied
upon by members of the household, particu-
