In the world in their appearance. Take up
some nasturtium roots in the autumn, cut
back the ends and the buds, and in few
weeks they will begin to bloom again,
giving you the prettiest decoration possible
for your salads.

kitchen garden in pots and boxes with very
little trouble, aud it will he almost sure to
interest and delight your cook. There are

nishes for dish A few fried onions help
out beefsteak immensely; French chops
look particularly nice if laid in orderly
fashion around neat hillock of mashed

laid in dish. A fragrant geranium leaf
floating in the water of finger bowl looks

Women in Political Work,

II is not little remarkable that nearly
every country that admits the right of
woman to succeed TO the crown has had
female sovereigns in the highest rank as
patriotic statesmen and skillful admins
traitors. The names of Isabella of CASTLE
and Maria Theresa will rise at once to every
lip, and il is even more notable that in
India, where the general position of women
is so degraded, many native states have
been governed by able and devoted female
sovereigns.
But the most valuable historical evil
dence of the capacity of women for political
affairs is to he found in the names of the
English queens. Mary, the wife of viii
liam III, is hardly TO be counted for
though in name queen regnant her pol
iticei influence was hardly more than that
of a queen consort But if we take the
other four queens regnant, three of them,
Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria, occupy the
highest position on the rollcall of sover-
eigns who have been successful in building
up the strength and glory of England, de
veloping her power and resources at home
and abroad in frugal domestic adminstra-
ton, and in subordinating private desires
and inclinatlous to political duties.
The high percentage of first classes and
the small percentage of failures among
women who have reigned appear to indi-
cate in pretty decisive manner that WON
en- have at any rate no natural incapacity
10 grasp the import Of political affairs. -
Mrs. EawCett in Forum.

Sweet words In the Home.

There is a tender sweetness about some
OF our common phrases of atfectionate
greeting, staple and unobtrusive as they
are which falls like dew upon the heart.
Good night! The little one lisps il as,
gowued in white, with shining face and
hands and prayers said, she toddles off to
bed Sisters and brothers exchange the
wish; parents and children: friends and
friends. Familiar use has robbed it Of it's
significance to some OF us; we repeat it
automatically without much thought.
But consider. We are as vOyasers putting
oil from time to time upon an unexplored
sea.
Our barks of life set sail and go onward
into the darkness, and we, asleep on our
pillows take no such care as we do when
awake and journeyinS by daylight OF
the perils Of the night, whatever they may
be, we take no heed. An unseeping vig
lance watches over us, but it is the vi9i
lance Of one stronger and wiser than we
who is the eternal good. Good and Goo
spring from the same root, are the same il
meaning. "Goodby" is only God be with
you" Good night"is really God night,
or God guard the night"
1t would be a churlish household il
which these gentle forms of speech wer,
ignored or did not exist. Alike the happ,
and the sorrowful day by day may sa!
Good night. "-Harper's Bazaar.

Girls and Low Cut Gowns.

The question of when to wear low cut
gowns can have but one answer Never in
dAvlirht.n The rule that obtains for the
assumption Of mems evening dress-''from
dusk to dawn''--is adjustable to both. For
every function of society held from midday
to "A late dinner hour girls dress should
be worn high, with long sleeves. If on any
gala occasion it should be desirable to re-
lax the striugency of this ordinance, it
should he only to cut the dress open little
below the throat, and to wear elbow sleeves,
a pretty girlish fashion, in which her youth
full beauty loses naught. There is nova
days to be bad such "a variety of soft hued,
crazy, clin.ing stuifs, than which nothing
can better enhance round contours and line
lines of nature, that young woman need
not sigh for the additional attraction OF
neck and shoulders revealed to an artificial
light in the afternoon.
A few years ago the experiment was
made of hostesses receiving at large after
noon teas in low cut dresses, but the con-
trast between them and their guests in
every variety Of outdoor garh, including
tailor made gowns, soon brought the fash
ion to an end At dinners, evening parties
and balls it ia so universal modern Gus
tom to equip young girls III decolletc gowns
that here can only he the question of indi-
vdual judgment in the matter to combat
it. The cut of such dresses is, however, al
ways modest Burton Harrison in

When coughing at night is particularly
troublesome the thorough warming of the
bed previous to its being occupied will
often avert an attack. The taking of a
warm drink, preferably IA glass of hot milk,
before retiring, or, better, after getting in
bed, is equally good. The opportunity
to warm a bed is not always possible, but
it is generally very easy to procure hot
drink of somo kind no matter where ono
happens to be.
One of the incest ways TO warm bed is
by ironing the lower sheet and as much of
the uppe" one as is thrown back when the
bed is opened. After this is done quickly
draw up the bed clothing and place the
bottles Of hot water or the old fashioned
warm log or bricks in between the ironed
Sheets Persons with consumption and
heart disease will secure untold comfort
and many restful nights if they AWAY 20
to warmed beds to seek rcpose.-Provi-

Improving the Mind.

Do all women find little time each day
for reading something good' BY good is
meant broadening. Ten minutes a day
makes hours in year, and It. means a
growth of the mind that keeps woman
young. Youth means more than the alb
sencs OF years. 1t means living in the pres
ent and keeping abreast Of the times.
Women need to do this, 1t is duty owed
to themselves and to their families, and
she who buries herself in cooking, frils
and follies commits sin. Only that which
we assirnilate as part of the mind is eternal,
and it is the only treasure we carry into
that life beyond that awaits us all.
All other things are but the frame; the

a Bad Habit Among Children.

Children should be warned against the
indiscriminate fashion they have of put
ting every thing in their mouths while out
of doors. Biting at their gloves is a very
common trick, and even money is often
held between their teeth while making
change. People do not realize that their
children are constantly carrying things to
their mouths unless they begin to notice
them particularly in regard to it, and they
will then be astonished TO see what a pre-
vailing habit it IL
Give young child an umbrella, Il stick,
pencil to hold, and the chances are it
will be in he mouth within five minutes,
and when one considers how many danger
Gus diseases can be and are introduced into
the system solely through the mouth it is
easy to understand why one cannot be too

Hints About Garnishing Dishes.

If our good plain cooks" could only be
induced to parnish their dishes and serve
them up daintily they would be far more
appetizing. This involves little labor after
all, and is within the reach of every house
keeper. Parsley especially gives an edi-
bic look to even dish of cold meat, and a
box of it will grow easily in n sunny win
dow all winter and require little or no
care. A lew sprigs around dish, little
chopped up and sprinkled over ircd pota-
toes or beetsteak makes all the difference
