Gardening and Horticulture have for
years found some of their best friends
among the feminine members of the
household The enthusiastic botanist
is rarely willing to stop at a merely
theoretical knowledge of her favorites.
She likes to grow them, watch their de-
velopment, their peculiar characters
tics and eccentricities and to study
their possibilities. To do this, she
must grow them, and many valuable
contribution to plant-lore has come
from the quiet, unobtrusive researches
and labors of the sisterhood.
OF late, since the subject of occupa-
ton for women has come under such
general discussion, horticulture has
seemed to present itself as peculiarly
adapted to the tastes and capacities
of women who are seeking a
means of livelihood. To grow flowers
and small fruit successfully requires
tact, patience and a nice sense of dis
elimination. Having these, one may
reasonably expect to make fair record
and secure at least tolerable financial
returns There is more money in rails
ing small fruits than most people are
willing to believe. 1t looks like a
small business. and there are thousands
of objections urged against it; but once
considered all of the possibilities OF
such an occupation, and many of the
objections vanish.
Those who live near large business
centers always find market for good
products in their fresh state and 1t is a
well understood fact in the best com
mission houses of the metropolis that
there is rarely such thing kn:wn as a
surplus of really high grade fruit OF
any sort. The markets are frequently
overstocked but not with the very best
grade of goods. There is always de-
mand for fancy articles and extra-fne
nroducts OF all sorts. First, given the

than He is in minutia. If He has

balances delicate enough to weigh the

God fathers raindrop is there any
thing so insignificant in your affairs
that God will not father? When Dreyse,
the gunsmith, invented the needle-gun
which decided the battle of Sadowa,
was it mere accident? When a farm
er's boy showed Butcher shortcut by
which he could bring his army up soon
enough to decide Waterloo for En-
gland, was it mere accident? When
Lord Byron took piece of money and
tossed it to decide whether or not he
should be affianced to Miss Millbank,
was it mere accident which side
of the money was up and which
down? When the Professionals were
besieged at Beziers, and drunk
en- drummer came in at midnight
and rang the alarm bell, not knowing
what he was doing, but waking up the
host in time to fight their enemies that
moment arriving, was it an accident?
When in the Irish rebellion, starving
mother flying with her starving child,

the night and her hand fell on warm
bottle of milk, did that Just happen so?

our religion is worth nothing at all,
and you had better take it away from
us, and instead of this Bible, which
teaches the doctrine, give us a secular
book, and let us, as the famous Mr..
Fox, the member of parliament, in his
last hour, cry out: "Read me the eighth
book of Virgil" Let us rouse up to an
appreciation of the fact that all The
affairs of our life are under a Kings

Women being by training and by long
practice the usual administrators Of

grounds which make or mar the pleas

appropriate that their taste and skill,
as well as their means, should be called
upon in bringing both 20 the highest
possible perfection.
Women have no more at stake than
men have in the higienic conditions of
street and towns. But they have more
leisure than their husbands and broth
ers Business does not inexorably
drive them to the counting-room or the
shop the instant they have swallowed
their breakfasts and devoured the
morning newspaper. The crack of the
whip does not sound on their ears, for
bidding them for an instant to intermit
their vigilance on penalty of being left
behind in the headlong race and furi-

course women are busy, desperately
and breathlessly SO, but still they pos,
sess over men this great advantage that
they can, to some extent, command
their time.
Hence it is a very happy thing that
women in many places are looking
wisely and well to Che public house

ness of the streets, the purity of the
water supply. the lurking foulness Of
neglected drains, and the germ-pro

above all else, they insure success by
persuading every citizen and citizenes
to the duty and the beauty of CAREFUL,

Some Bright Bits of Truth Taken from
the Rams Horn.
An evil thought is the mother of an
evil act.
A step in the dark may be step to-
ward death.
1t is better to have the DEVILS war
than his peace.
No man can have great God who has
little Bible.
For dead opportunity there is no
resurrection.
Many people who do not believe in a
hell live in one.
The peace of God is something the
devil can not break
Every year a good man lives his Bible
becomes bigger.
The man who does not believe in
God lives that way
People who really love God will find
some way to show it.
1t always makes the devil spit fire to
be called hypocrite.
Truth is always in bad taste, to whom
it tastes bad.
Keep the Bible open and the door OF
Heaven can not be shut.
As soon as sin is hated we are willing
to go to war and fight it.
People who have to make longrea
to pick up the cross find it heavy.
God finds it hard to bless man who
looks at everything through money
The man who tries to get to Heaven
on stills will have many tumbles.
1t takes a great many hallelujahs to
make pound out of fifteen ounces.
| 1t takes just as many cents to make
dollar on Sunday, as on a week day.
The justice that wicked man never
wants is the justice he deserves.
| God is so near that every time peni-
tent sinners heart beats he hears it!
| The man who has God to plan for
him always does good days work.
The man who is willing to have only
little religion will never have any.
Bad men do right only because they
have to; good men, because they love to-
We can always get good out of our
troubles by talking them over with the
| Lord.
God does not want dollar from any,
body who is not willing to be pure in
heart.
Some people can talk more religion
in ten minutes than they can live in a
: week.
God will not listen to the PRAYER of a
man who will not do all he can to helm
himself.
The Bible does not say the world will
/ find us out, but that our sin will find
Us out.
Many a man will miss Heaven by an
inch-the inch he cut from the end of
his yardstick.
Sin can Danish men from Gods pres.
ence, but it can never separate them
from His love.
Officiousness in church work is sign
of worldly pride and not of proper
Christian humility.
The devil gets millionaires by making
them believe that money can do more
for them than God.
Christ came to seek and to save the
lost. We are not walking in His foot
steps unless in this we are trying to be
like Him.

WHAT is BEST.

John xiii, 7.
'Tis easy when the skies are bright
To trust our Loving Fathers care,
To say that all fIe does is right.
And pledge to follow anywhere.
But faith alone San dry our tears
When baby fingers cease to move,
And all our hopes OF future years
Are buried with the one we love.
How good can come from grief like this
We can not understand, nor know
How tears and signs are turned to bliss,
And made to help us, He will show.
When in our Fathers presence, blest
With clearer vision, we shall see,
That love has given what Is best
To fit US for eternity.

BILL NYE,s HORSE STONY.

A Cincinnati man bought high-bred
horse recently with n pedigree that went
back to team that Noah used to drive
when he was doing his hauling from the
sawmill to the dock where he was build
ing his boat.
BY and by the Cincinnati man felt
unable to keep such valuable horse and
offered him for sale to Kentuckian who
knew the herd-book.
The Cincinnati man produced his ped
gree, which was as follows: Bay horse
Blue Grass. foaled in 1887. sire Black
Sampson. dam Young Phyllis; Black
Sampson, by Breastplate, dam Lady
Wake; Young Phyllis, by Blue Jeans,
dam Matte j.; Matte j., by Cyclone

mentor, by ruscarora H., dam Ada v. ;
Breastplate, by Frank, dam Jellico; Jel-
leo, by Bucephalus, dam Princess; Buc-
ephalus. by Sir William. dam Eulala.
The Cincinnati man said: 1--WE will
go around aud see the horse" and they
did So. The Kentuckian shook his head.
"Your horse has strain of vulgar
blood" he SAID. "Notice he eats like Il
horse that has lived and lunched out of Il
nose bag like cab horse. He has nc
refinement. can pick out horse thai
has good parents and been brought NJ
tenderly. That horse has been beltet
around the stall with the back of cur
rycomb, and he is a Jay horse"
"Well, he is not begging your pardon
He only needs to point to his pedigree
which bought him on largely. ReaC
it, and you will find no break in the title
bought him of Kentuckian whit
knows horses"
The Kentuckian glanced over the ped
igree and said "There is something sin
gular about this pedigree. | know al

a LITERARY CURIOSITY.

In the last issue of Wallace's Monthly
appears. under the signature of that most
interesting writer, rs. L. H." series
of statements concerning the PAGER,
which are so full of error and injustice,
perhaps unwittingly done, that we can
not refrain from calling attention to
them. This we do not with any desire
to take part in the controversy or even
to unnecessarily criticise, but merely to
correct plain error, which, if allowed
to pass as true, could only end in doing
a most deserving class of horses Sc
rious wrong. Says the writer;
The PAGER is curious study. He has
anneared wherever the saddle horse is
needed in new countries. He can be
made out of any breed by mechanical
manipulation. In Kentucky it matters
not whether it be the cold-blooded morse
used to drive cattle or the descendants
of the hIgh-hred brennan or OF the stlll
richer-bred Denmark, tracing directly TO
imp. HedgefOrd; if he is ridden on the
hard highways barefOoted in front and
heavily shod behind and manipulated
with "A curb bit. he will change his trot
will break into a pace.
In the first generation this action may
thus be the result of mechanical manipu-
lation, but within few generations the
pacing action becomes a confirmed IN
heritance. Hghly-bred trOtters have
been thus converted to the pacing ac-
tion and PAGERS have been converted to
the trotting movement by the reverse
method of weighting the front feet.
We do not agree with the writer in the
above paragraphs, nor do we think the
facts will bear out his assertion in the
statement that the PAGER lean be made
out of any breed of horses by mechani
cal manipulation" This mechanical
manipulation, it is true, has been known
to make some horses, otherwise poo
saddlers, mix in their gaits to the extern
of "shuflling' or ambling for short dis
tances, but we do not believe it has eve
been the means of making horse no
pacing bred adopt the pure, clear, fric
tionless and speedy gait seen in the i'm
proved PAGER of today. This gait Il
distinctively, if we may use the term
sui generis, and is the result of fiXe'
hereditary law, and not the result o
any extraneous condition or mechanics
manipulation. Because "cold-bloode,
horses used to drive cattle" are made Il
adopt hybrid action and shuttle to
certain extent, or even because "highly
bred trotters' (in all of whose pedigree
that we have examined may be foun
more or less pacing blood have bee
converted to the pacing action, are nc
data sufficiently strong upon which
base so sweeping conclusion. Doe
the writer above mentioned believe ths
by such means the thoroughbred, tn
hackney or the Percheron could be col
yerted into consistent PAGERS, or that tn

1t has occurred to me that it would be
of interest to show the number of tracks,
by States, at which trotting races were
given in 1892; and the index of places in
the new Year Book has been consulted,
aud the results appear in the table given
below. There are 1897 places from
which reports were received and as there
is more than one track in Boston, Phla-
delphia, Baltimore, etc, the aggregate
of trotting tracks that did business last

States alone, and in Canada there were
95 more. New York State leads, but is
followed very closely by Ohio and Iowa
comes third. which was rather sur
prise to Inc. Illinois and Indiana are
plentifully dotted with trotting tracks,
while Kentucky, the centre of the breed
ing interest, has only twenty-eight
tracks that were in operation last year.
The great States of Mississippi and
South Carolina are conspicuous by their
absence from the list. There were only
! ll2 tracks at which running races were
given in 1892 in the United States, and
the proportion of ten to one about rep
resents the relative Importance of the
