Vegetable Gardening

Little work of Importance can be done
in either the kitchen or market garden
during January. Stored crops need at
tention. Vegetables in pits and trenches
should have sufficient covering to pre-.
vent injury from frost. If vegetables are
stored II the cellar veptilate it whenever
the weather will allow. Cabbaees and
other plants IN cold frames need daily
ventilation. and whom the TEN pera ture is
mild enough the sashes may be removed
altogether. If the plants are frozen when
the snow falls it may be allowed to remain
on the sashes. but otherwise it should be
cleared off.
Preparations should now be made for
spring operations. Arrange for neces-
sary manures AID fertilizers, also for
tools and implements. 1t is now in
order to provide boxes for starting seeds
IN the kitchen windows, and fats for use
IN hotbeds, as we'll as to collect bean

The RrotherlPsS Girl.

The girl without brother is especially
to be pItied, writes Ruth Ashmore In the
Ladies Home Journal. She is the girl
who is never certain of getting the pleas
ures of life unless she is very attractive
of course, she has no brother who she Is
certain will axe her everywhere; she is
apt to g4t little bit vain, for she has no
brother to tell her, as only brothers will, OF
her faults and mistakes. 1t is only the
some THAT doubtful tact of a brother that
announces Il wouldn't walk up the street
with you in that trock," and the girl
whose brother says this to her may be Ger
tain that he is oniy expressing the opinion
OF other girls broth rs. He may not do
1t in the most semitic way, but he does tell
the truth, and If you ast him why paying
a visit to another girl is more desirable
than to one you know, ne will sit down am
look at you, and then be will say: well.
you see, it is ils5 this way: F.om The
time you get there she is nice girl who
gives you pleasant welcome and YET does
not gush over you. She IS entertaining,
and yet she has d fashion of pdttlng down
nasty gossip or silly talk among whoever
Is there. She is d restfuI s )rt Of girl, she
Is not always wanting to do something
that tires you half to death and where the
game isn't worth the candle, and when. she
says coed by to you, you feel pretty Ger
tain that she is very glad you came, and
that she will be glad to see you another
the, but that she doesn't look upon yon
as the one and only man in the world; )"
that is the kind of description that the
brotherless girl can't get. Then she does
not hear of men that fellow would rather
not have his sister go with. Probably the
wisest course for her to pursue is to choose
as her most intimate friend girl who S
a wise brother; then she can reap the ben
eft of his counsel.

DIR. CuyIer on Cheerfulness.

Much depends upon a cheerful start for
the day. The man who leaves his home
with a scowl on his brow, and snap al
his children, AID a tart speech to his
wife instead of kiss, is not likely to be
pleasant company for anybody during the
day; he will probably come home with the
temper of porcuplne. Wise ylans should
be lad for every day, 50 that 1t be not
an idle saunter, or an aimless oustling
to and fro. Yet to make good speed on
the right track we must not start over
loaded; not too many things to be under
taken, lest they prove hasty botchwork.

overstrained rush, neither IN business OF

the insane greed for wealth, or the mad
ambition goading brain and nerves to d

Pray lean upon my arm, mother;

And silvery are the locks that shade

But strong as ever is the love
That beams within your eye.

You carried me for many an hour
Until your arms were tired.
From childhood up to mahhood's years,
Through every pain and i'll,
You watched me with loving eye;
You watch my welfare still.
And shall fail you now, mother,
When all your strength has fled
Neglect to guide your feeble steps
As through life's vale you tread:
Your eyes are dim with age, mother,
Cares lines are on your brow;

Are strong to guide you now
Then lean npon my arm, mother;
Henceforth, life's journey through,
What you did SO long for him

THE HOUSEHOLD.
The Decay of Passion
WILL FOSTER

"Oh for touch of the most ancient fire,
That made of hate and love noble thing;
No swaloW-summer-m on the wing
But a commanding passion and desire;
Whose rage no sea might quell, no distance
tire;
For ever lusty as the early spring,
Grand in remonstrance, firm in suffering;
sunward eagle, soaring ever higher.
All, passion then was God-like; now It's blown,
reed, a straw, a changelng all its days;
Then from its H. tlnve: took blaze
But now it cannot warm itself alone:
Then hearts were hearts and the wide earth was
StreWn
With mighty deeds, and starlike full of
grace.

Isn't it odd, anyhow, that people want

not admire that spirit 1t looks like a
remnant OF the old savage vandalism not

the race.
But there are some things that need to
be shaken-the more the better. There is

where it remains it will stand a good
