A Kitchen Garden For Everybody.

In a space so by 100 feet venture to say
that any man who will spend an hour q
day in his garden from the disappearance
of frost in the spring till its temperance
in the autumn can raise all the vegetables
that a reasonably large family can consume
during that time. Is that worth doing or
is it nots 1t is true that vegetables are
rather cheap in this happy land of plenty,
and even q moderate bank account would
not be much encroached upon to pay
for all the seasonable vegetables that
could be consumed by an ordinary family
But when you have assisted in raising your
own vegetables and have gathered them
and have them on your table there is a
kind of triple ownership in them that
makes you relish them as you never rel
ished vegetables before.
You look out for their excellences and
favors, and your palate is keenly alert to
detect everything that is pleasant Having
your own vegetables when you are an am
ateur adds another charm to eating, and
there is little chance that dinner much of
which has come out of your own garden
will be gone through with in a merely per
functory way or gobbled up savagely, solely
to appease hunger. The raising of vegeta-
bles, therefore, contributes to the growth
of one of the most civilizing of all the arts
the art of dining well and delicately.-J.
Gilmer Speed in Harper's Bazaar.

Health of Harvard Students.

Harvard's sanitary condition is the sub
ject of some adverse comment just now
groundless. il would seem, because for the
present it is authoritatively denied that the
health of the college is anything but the
best; for the future any demand for revi-
sion is anticipated by measures already in
hand The desire to keep expenses at a
minimum causes the demand for cheap
lodgings, and therein lies the greatest dam
ger. The right of student to live in any
locality is still subject to the permission of
the faculty, and an inspection of students
quarters has begun with a view to black
listing unwholesome houses.
In one department at least every students
room will be visited. Where such a course
seems necessary physician and sanitary
expert will prescribe measures necessary to
obviate any suspicious conditions, and I'M
less these are complied with the places will
be declared untenantable for those connect
ed with the university. This may lead to an
advance in the lowest rents, which, how
ever, will be more than offset by the feeling
of security against avoidable illness.-Bos-

A Japanese ..s1o.her Goose" Story.

The Lucky Teakettle" is an ingenious
story told to japanese children, in which
that useful article of domestic economy
plays the principal role A priest who finds
an old kettle in the temple fills it with
water and hangs it over the fire, when. to
his great amazement, it suddenly turns into
badger and begins jumping about the
room. A teakettle Of such curious DISPOSE
ton does not recommend itself to the man
of religion, so the next day when a tinker
chances to call. the priest, thinking to turn
en- honest penny. sells the kettle without
telling Of its uncanny accomplishment
That night the tinker hears q strange noise,
and getting up from his bed perceives the
kettle walking about upon four legs and
covered with a fine coat of fur. The kettle
then proceeds to turn from q badger to a
kettle and back again with bewildering IA
pidity.
The next morning the tinker shows it to
an acquaintance, who surely must have
had drop of shrewd Yankee blood in his
veins, for he suggests that here is most ex-
cellent material for a splendid show. Take
it about with songs and music" says his
friend, and make it danceon a rope" The
tinker adopts the idea and acquires a COM

SAYS the Congregationalist: The
use of the gown by the Congrega-
tional ministers appears to be steadi-
ly increasing in recent years. In
Boston Mr.. Gordon at the Old South
and DR.. Herrick at the Mount Yer
non, in Cambridge DIR. Mckenzie at
the First, in Brooklyn DR.. Thomas at
the Harvard church, and in Newton
Dr. Calkins. regularly stand before
their people in the black gown. The
minister going to supply the Central
church will find that article in the
retiring room. DIR. Stinson has as
summed it on entering his new pastor
ate at Broadway tabernacle, New
York. In number of the larger
churches it is a part of the pulpit
equipment.

in the forward car of a Sixth avenue ele-
waited train 1t was after midnight, and
the young man in fine raiment had evident

little unsteady, but he cheerfully announced
his willingness to give his listeners

He explained that while ne was perfectly
familiar with the compositions of all the
great musicians he also enjoyed the popu-

voice was not in good condition, but he

Wonderful Sense of Smell In Dogs.

1t has often been proved that dogs are
able to track their masters through crowd
ed streets, where it would be impossible to
attribute their accuracy to anything except
the sense of smell alone. Mr.. Romanes, the
naturalist once made some interesting ex-
periments as to this wonderful power as ex-
hibited in his own dog. In these tests the
naturalist found that his dumb friend could
easily follow in the tracks of his master.
though he was far out of sight, and that
too, after no Less than IL persons had fol-
lowed. stepping exactly in the tracks made
by Mr.. Romanes, it being the deliberate in
tention to confuse the senses of the poor
dog if possible Further experiment proved
that the animal tracked the boots instead
of the man. for when Mr.. Romanes put ON
new footgear the dog failed entirely.-St-

An Incident of metropolitan Life.

"Where have you been all these yearss'
said a fashionable woman to a quondam
friend on meeting her accidentally on the
street. Il have not seen you for an age.
Where are you living now" AT As West
Blank street. she answered.
What, really?" exclaimed the other
"why, l live at CO West Blank These
women We're lot only old friends. but both
occupied good social positions, knowing
more or less the same people, and never
theless they had lived within several doors
of each other for a couple of years without
either being aware of the others proximity
Such is the New York of today, and it is
hard to realize the statement of a charming
woman, who is still young enough to be
constantly Ion the co. when she tells us
that when she was a girl she knew person

To Re Expected to Propose Would Deprive
the Girls of Much Fun.
And now dear, privileged woman is to be
granted another privilege. Mr.. Labou-
chere of the London Truth says that she
should become versed in the art of propos-
ing; that there has always been a big mis-
take somewhere anyway, and that it is
woman's place to propose, because she is
more self possessed and could do the ask
ing with more grace than the average man.
Poor woman! There are just two priv
ileGes that she doesn't want and has never
asked for. She doesn't wish to wear mems
clothes because she has tried on her broth
er's quite often. just for fun, and knows
that they are frightfully cold and uncom-
Portable She doesn't want to propose be-
cause-well, just because she doesn't.
Perhaps, though, the masculine girl may
hail Mr.. Labouchere's idea with wild shouts
of approval. Not that she wants to take
unto herself husband especially, but only
for the reason that she will be enabled
thereby to grab one of mans dearest and
most exclusive rights. But the womanly
woman, who is glad that she is a woman
and wouldn't be a man for anything in the
world, hasn't any use whatever for such a
privilege She would much rather some
one would give her a season matinee ticket
Or a s. soda water checkbook- Either OF
the gifts would bring her far more happi-
ness. What fun would there be in dressing
up in ones prettiest gowns and waiting for
Charley-but then by that time some one
will have suggested that it is the girls
place to do the calling-not the mems
They say that the staid individual vul-
carly termed ''old maid" will cease to exist
when Mr.. Labouchere's idea gets into good
working order-for man often is very timid.
you know. A certain girl will tell you THAI
she always assists her admirers along great
ly by planning all sorts of little opportuni-
ties. And then, besides. what sort of a pro-
tector would a man be who is afraid to ask
girl little simple question like that?
However, if worst comes to worst, and
girls take it upon their fair shoulders to ac-
quire the art of making propositions of
marriage, some one will have to start up a
new style of lovemaking. What ghost of a
show would girl have in trying to encircle
45-inch waist? After saying, BE mine,
dearesti' what on earth would she do?
No, no! Receiving proposals is too good
fun to give up without a struggle. Men
might object to the transfer, too, and some
horrid ones might remark that they hadn't
time to be bothered to death. Chicago
