they like to be let alone when they are
doing their best, and SO do you.
Don't follow every body's advice
Select some good authority on plants
and be guided by it. Above all, dont
''trv everything" to make your plants
grow. Nothing will kill them sooner
than persecution of this kind.
Don't let failure dismay or discourage
YOU. One must serve a sort of an an
premiership in flower growing as in
other occupations. Study your climate
your soil, the location of your flower
beds, and the kinds of plants particu-
larly adapted to your locality.
Don't do as the lady did who said that
she watered her plants regularly every
Wednesdayaand every Saturday, wheth-
er they needed it or not, because she
believed in having "a regular system for
everything" Water your plants when
they need water and at no other time.
Don't be too eager to buy seeds and
plants where you can get them cheapest
The best is always the cheapest, and you
cannot get the best for nothing or for
half price. | once had bare, ragged

who love flowers, but cannot have them

A Wonderful Memory.

The history of the celebrated conjurer,
Robert Houdin, furnishes remarkable
example of the power of memory ac-
CURED by practice. He and his brother,
while yet boys, invented game which
they played in this wise: They would
pass shop window and glance into it
without stopping, and then at the next
corner they used to compare notes and
see which could remember the greatest
number of things in the window and in
what position they stood. Having tested
the accuracy of their observations they
would go and repeat the experiment
elsewhere. By this means they acquired
incredible powers of observation and
memory, SO that, after running by a
shop window once and glancing as they
passed, they would enumerate every
article in it.
When Robert became professional
conjurer, that habit enabled him to
achieve teats apparently miraculous.
1t is told Of him that, visiting friends
house where he had never been before,
he caught glimpse fthe bookcase as he
passed the half-open library door. In
the course Of the evening, when some of
the company expressed their anxiety to
witness some specimens of his power,
he said to his host: ''Well, sir, [ will
tell you, without stirring from this place,
what books you have in your library"
Come, come,' said he, "that is too
good"
eve shall see," replied Houdin.
LET some of the company go into the
library and look, and [ will call out the
names from this ROOM"
They did so, and Houdin began "Top

wonder of the whole company.
More than once gentleman stole in
to the drawing-rooom certain that he
would catch Houdin reading catalogue,
but there sat the conjurer, with his
hands IN his pockets, looking into the

Hints to Housekeepers.

Soiled clothes should not be allowed
to remain in the bedrooms. They faint
the air and make it impure.
Sprained ankle has been cured in an
hour by showering with hot water
poured from height of few feet.
Common washing soda and boiling
water should be used to rinse all the
waste-pipes at least once every week or
ten days.
If you are a tall woman arrange to
have your work able and ironing
board a few inches higher than they
are usually made. This little preCau'
ton will prevent many a backache.
Don't allow the broom to stand on the
brush end when not in use; hang it ona
nail by means of a ring in the top Of the
handle. Don't forget that broom will
last much longer if, after using, it IS
dipped in boiling water for few min
uteS.
In changing feathers, always put them
into new ticks, as the feathers will surely
prick through washed ticks. | believe

How to Sweep a Store.
From the Commercial ENQUIRER.

We don't use a leaky old sprinkling
pet to sop the floor all over in puddles
when we sweep. No, sir! We have
wet sawdust, and put a row of it across
one end of the store and sweep that
right along to the other end, just like a
regiment marching across ten acre lot.
1t catches all the dirt and carries it
along. If it gets little dry, 1 add
some more. Some folks scatter sawdust
all over the floor, but Mr. Vanders saws
that's no good; that the reason for us
ing sawdust is to avoid wetting the floor
all over and to have something that will
absorb the dust.

I am thankful now,
Mute. passive, acquiescent, recave,
And bless God simply.
-[R Browning, i'll Balcony.
You arc so far above me; yet stand
And watch your upward way;
know the path is stony that you tread;
You strive and toll and pray.
The strife and toll have brought you peace at
Yes, peace-but not forgetfulness of what is
past
know the heavy burden that you bear
With you must always stay,
But YOU laid it down at your Saylor's feet,
And its bitterness passed away.
And now you would not break the quiet rest
OF him YOU loved SO dearly; God knows best
And so He called him early to his home
That home of peace so fair,
Where he is waiting till the time shall come
For you to join him there;
In that land where our lost ones are found once
more,
Where we meet our beloved who went before.
But yet you have this comfort to the end
Not his, but yours. the loss
God called him home to a heavenly crown,
And He babe you bear the cross;
And the weight of that cross no soul may know
Save those who through life with its burden go
You shed below you on the tOllSOme way,
The path your feet have trOd,
A light to point all lesser souls the way,
And bring us nearer God.
In pain and in sorrow, and bitterest loss,
You show how His servant can carry the cross

CITY and Country.

The farmer who is disconnected with
His position and prospects, and looks
with envious eyes on the apparent ease
and comfort of his city cousin, is very
apt to overlook the small things which
come to him at little or no cost, but
(which form very considerable item in
the expense account of his envied city
brother. The eggs, butter, cheese,
fruit, vegetables, chickens, ETC., which
may and do daily grace his table, are
seldom thought Of when he figures up
his yearly profits, or if thought of are
not considered of sufficient import
ance to figure in the account
A more important item, because
larger, is that of rent. How
many farmers credit their yearly &C.
count with a fair rental. That same
item takes from one-ffth to one-third of
the annual income of the CITY clerk.
And so with the fuel question. "A clerk
with salary of $1,000 year will
have to expend not less than $50 each
year for fuel, an expenditure that
would seem enormous to most farmers
So it goes through all the items of the
daily living expenses. The uncounted
things which make up so large part of
the farmers living, and do not enter in.

question whether or not he could do
