The Violet stIn Ponulnr.

The ever-popular violet promises to
hold sway as the fashionable flower Of
the season for both men and women,
ana In London it is obtainable in novel
ARRANGEMENT. The fragrant, modest
little flower is made up in the form Of
true lovers knot, with a patent pin at
tachment for securing it, and the idea
emanates from a firm Of lady florists
calling themselves the Woman's Garden
ing Association.

About Hanging Pictures.

In hanging pictures the main point to
remember Is that the centre Of the pic
ture should not be more than five feet
ana : Few inches from the floor. This
enables person when sitting to see q
picture with the eyes naturally and
slightly raised, while In standing the
vision IS directly In line with the scene
OF the picture. Very large pictures must
Tor the sake OF symmetry be hung
higher aud placed nearly fat against the
wall. A picture hung over tall piece
OF furniture must be vigorous in outline
and bold in treatment.

About Kid Gloves.

A town called Grenoble, France, is
the place where most kid gloves come
from; vet of the twenty thousand or
more tourists who pass though the CAPT
tai of the Isere Department each year not
more than ten ever go out OF their way
to learn something Of this great national
industry.
For it is national, as France holds the
chief position in the world IN this line
of commerce, and wherever you go you
are sure to find that the best gloves are
of French manufacture. This success IS
not due to a question Of taste only, but
to excellence Of workmanship also.
There is nothing mechanical about
Glove making; it is all hand labor; there
fore experienced and skillful operatives
are necessary to produce good merchan-
disc, But as Frenchmen do not like to
leave their homes, it is the Belglans, the
| Germans and the Italians who go abroad
and devote themselves to the production
of an inferior kind of goods Tor toilet
purposes in other countries.
At Grenoble alone 1900, OO0 dozer
pairs of gloves are manufactured an

gives employment to $4,000 workpeopl5
of both sexes. There are 1000 men and
$1,000 women residing in rayon OF
thirty-eight miles around Grenoble who
live by this work. Glove making, then
is interesting from social point OF view
as it is one of the few callings open t
female labor in which they can earn re
spectacle wages without abandoning hus
bands, homes and little ones.
When l add that out of the 7,2oo'

A Curious Mutiny.

There are some curious points IN the
case of the mutlreers on board the
French ship Anne, who were recently
tried at St. Pierre, Newfoundland. The
vessel started from Bordeaux but had
not proceeded very far upon its course
when the crew deposed the captain ana
nut him in irons. The first mate took
command. His purpose was to reach
the Azores. But in few hours 1t be-
came apparent that he did not kno"
what he was about. Accordingly, the
crew sought their ex-captain next day,
dashed him to a mast, and commanded
him to steer for the Azores. He refused
to do so unless he was released. The ere"
set to work again on their own accoun

finally accepted his condition. Forth
with he put the ship about, and carried
them to St. Pierre, where they were

A RARE BUT BEAUTIFUL PLANT.

Imantophyllum miniatum is plant
that seems to be very little known,
writes Eben Rexford. l have never

my own. 1t resembles the Agapanthu5
very much in foliage, though It's leaves
are broader, and hardly as long, and are
perhaps darker in color. 1t sends up
its leaves and flowers from large bulb,
and increases rapidly. In order to Sc

The Agapanthus, bears its flowers, which
are small, on the extremity OF a tall
stalk, where the Imantophyllum has a
stalk more like that of the Vallotta, and
its flowers resemble those of that plant
almost exactly IN shape, but they are
unlike in color, while those OF the I'm

DEADENISG TIMBER.

A Southern farmer writes, in the South,
where the land is usually cleared by
deadening the practice is convenient, but
more costly in the end than complete
clearing at the first. Land Is cleared OF
the small timber at cost o. about 80
per acre. while it costs at least SS5 to
clear it completely. In general there Is
no practice that is in common use with
out some advantage, and this applies TO
the deadening of the timber in the first
clearing. Where timber IS scarce to
deadeu it is an economy, for otherwise
the timber is burned and destroyed.

large quantity OF standing timber, once
of no value, but now worth more than
the cost of clearing for the lumber and fire
wood in it. Timber will keep sound many
years, and where there is no market for II
and possibility of future value, 1t Is adj
visable to kill and leave it for future use.

KISSING THE ROD.

What we'v missed of calm we couldn't
Have, you know
What we've met Of stormy pain
And Of sorrows driving rain
We can better meet again
If it blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When our tears fell with the shower
All alone
Were not shine and shower blent
As the gracious Master meant:
Let US temper our content
With his own.
For we know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So, forgetting all the sorrow
We have had,
Ietus fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad.

WARM WATER For COWS.

Warm water for COWS to drink is the
subject up for discussion in the conven-
tons and papers at this time. 1t Is
wonderful how much experimenting can
be done and how very little is found
out. One wise man will try it here and
come to one conclusion while another
wise man will try it there and come to
quite another conclusion, each thinking
he has settled the question forever. The
outside party will read the reports and
Immediately see that each one of those
parties tried the experiment under
entirely different surroundings. O1e
may have kept the COWS warm and
decided in favor Of cool water while the
other reversed this by keeping his COWS
cold and deciding in favor of warm
water. The proper way would seem to
be first to put the COW in the proper con
dition, both as to housing and feeding
and especially having plenty Of meat on
her bones, then try her with water at all
the temperatures from blood heat tc
freezing and the one she then thrlVeS
under is the best for a COW that is prop
erly kept. Any other plan simply test:

another error which is knowledge scarce

or don't do it at all.--Amerlcan Dairy
