A Unique Arrangement of Flowers.

At 5 o'clock tea recently attention was called to an artistic but apparently careless arrangement of flowers upon the richly papered walls of the reception room. They appeared to be trailing down the wall, but presently the hostess explained to an admirer of the effect produced that the flowers and vines were arranged in bamboo cane about three feet in length. The hollow cane was notched here and there, and an ar engagement made for holding quantity of water. Then flowers were lightly placed in the notches. From little dis tance, or if the flowers and vines are deftly arranged, the bamboo is invisible, and the leaves and blossoms appear to be actually growing upon the wall New York Post.

One Editor who is Not Jealous.

Harper's Weekly. Davis is big man in
more ways than one. He is of powerful
physique and is broad mentally. Just after
his appointment of the Weekly, the editor
of a weekly contemporary printed para
graph which said in substance that Davis
was not writer, but owed his appoint
meut to the backing of friends, and not to
his own merit The article concluded by
saying that there was employed a man on
another paper who was head and shoulders
above Davis as a writer.
Some people would have got angry at
this, but Davis did not. He put on his coat
and hat and Immediately visited the editor
in whose paper the paragraph was printed.

A Duty for Every Young Mother.


A most serious fault with many
mothers, and one accountable for Il
terrible waste of life, is that of failing
to properly discipline their children to
take medicine when offered them and
patiently submit to any other treat
ment to bear which little or no forti-
tude is required.
Every young mother should distinct
ly understand that there are many oc-
casions in child life when the chances
of recovery depend almost entirely
upon the early training. If child is
pampered and petted and hired to take
medicine, there is sure to come a time
when all persuasion is utterly useless
and force must be resorted to.
In diphtheria, for instance, if he has
always had his own way, little or moth
ing need be expected from medical
treatment, and before the disease has
reached its most dangerous point
brides and articles will have long since
been exhausted, and medicine or food
can be administered only by ''main
strength" Force must now be used,
LOT IL WouIu never 90 70 pefIu1C ID cLIlIu
to go without treatment, and yet in not
a few instances it must do more harm
than good.
All this trouble and much of the
danger might easily be obviated by
mothers. At very early age they
should fix in their little ones the habit
of taking, without hesitation, every
thing offered them in a spoon or cup

of mathematics that he is never so
happy as when setting himself hard
sums, tried to give some sort of an av-
erage of the amount of work and time
and strength and health and patience
and good nature that could be saved if
everybody opened and closed the doors
of all the houses by means of the door

But think of it one moment. Think
of how many doors there are in one
house, and how much time it takes
every week to scrub off the dirt which
need not be there if the fingers closed
upon the dOorknob instead of the door.
Watch yourself, and watch your friends
as they let themselves in and out They
turn the knob if there is no other way
of entering, and then transfer the
hand to the door, feel of the wood for
awhile, and then push it to with the
fingers upon the paint instead of the
knob.

WHERE MOTHERS BUILD HOUSES.


Woman in zuIuIand Is the Architect and
Constructor of the DomiciIe.
The Zulu woman is the architect and
builder of the Zulu house, and the style
of architecture is known in the colonies
as waffle and daub" 1t looks like an
exaggerated beehive, for the Zulu mind
has this peculiarly, that it cannot
grasp the idea of anything that is not
round or elipticaI in form. There are
no squares in nature. To build her
house the woman traces a circle on the
ground, fourteen feet in diameter, ana
and getting a number of long, timber
branches, she sticks them firmly into
-the ground, and then bends the tops
over and ties them with fiber obtained
from the numerous creepers or ''mOn-
key ropes.
Then she twnes thicker creepers in
and out of these sticks all around the
circle of these spaces, about twelve
inches apart, and then taking waffle "a
kind of coarse grass or reed she thatches
the edifice, leaving Il small hole at the
top for a chimney and another hole
three feet square for a door. In front
of this she builds a covered way extend
ing outward about three feet, and the
exterior of the house is finished by a
coat of ''daub," or mud.
She then seeks nest of the white
ant, and, digging it up, obtains a
quantity of white clay, which she beats
to powder, dries and then, mixing it
with water, l1neads it until it is quite
smooth. This she spreads over the
ground inside the hut, and beats it
carefully until it is quite hard and free
from cracks This floor a good house
wife will scour twice a day, with smooth
stones, until it is like piece of polished
marble
The fireplace is near the door, and is
simply ring of this clay to confine the
embers in one place. The other neces-
saries found in a hut are a bundle of
spear shafts, some drying tobacco and
several punches of millet hanging from
the roof Grouped around the walls
are the three amasti Ga species of sour
milk jars, the native beer jars and
open jars for holding grain.
OF course the dense wood smoke ris-
ing coats the roof, millet and tobacco
with soot and long fingers" of it hang
in every direction; but the floor will be
clean enough to eat on, and as long as
that is so the social Mrs. Grundy of the
Zulu is satisfied. Telegraph.
