TIE LINEN CLOSET.
A Place of Pride and Pleasure to the Mis-.
trcss of II Well Ordered Household.

N Aaco Oh fride ana Pleasure tn the Mis-
trcss of a Well Ordered Household.
The interest and trouble bestowed by
housekeeaers of old on their linen chests
shines by its absence in the minds of many
OF their descendants. 1t is pity, too, for
few things are more attractive than well
kept linen cupboard. 1t is always better
when this place can be what it used to be
called OF old-a linen closet-as then there
is room for the proper storage of the vari-
GUS items. The closet must be dry, or the
results to the linen will be fatal Where it
Ia possible to give up closet or small
room to this purpose the first thing to pro-
vide is plenty of shelves, each wide enough
for the articles to be laid upon them. These
should have unbleached covers made wide,
SO that after being fastened to the back of
the shelf they will fold up over the linen
and the other edge will fall down over this
again. When the shelf is long, it is we'll to
divide the cover into two OF three lengths,
30 as to be able to get at each part of the
shelf without disturbing the whole Each
kind Of linen should be kept separate, with
It's name marked on the cover to prevent
confusion. In this way one can tell at once
where to go for anything. An arrangement
obtained In some houses is to sort out the
bed linen according to the room to which it
belongs, the name of the bedroom being In
this case marked on the cover. This plan
prevents trouble when q room has to be
got ready, as one has only to go to the shelf
belonging to the particular room she has to
prepare to have all the needed linen ut hand.
Things bought in sets, such as dozens of
towels or napkins, should be kept in sets
and marked as such In putting away
linen, whether sheets, pillowcases, table
cloths or napkins, the last clean things as
they come from the wash should be put at
the bottom of the pile. BY enforcing this
rule strictly with everything linen will
wear half as long again.
Where 1t is not possible to appropriate
closet or room to the linen as large a cup
board as possible should be chosen, and
some such arrangement as the above should
be adhered to- 1t is most satisfactory to
allot a shelf to each room, as if many sheets
are piled up together they are hard to idcn-
tify without taking the whole lot down.
The stock of linen can be kept up at
small cost by adding little toit each year,
especially If one can take advantage Of
the annual sales Of good establishments.
Though linen has been the only material
alluded to here, many housekeepers prefer
a really good quality of cotton for sheets,
not only as less expensive, but preferable
for ordinary use.

near Tallsb9rouCh, gave Fanceburg

World, an account Of wonderful
snake nght that he recently wit
messed. lie was going through a strip
Of woodland on the way to his wheat
neld when his attention was af-
tracted by peculiar noise near his
pathway Looking in the direction
whence the sound proceeded he OBJ
served a blacksnake and ratulesnake
twlned together in deadly combat.
The blacksnake was wound about Its
venomous enemy, endeavoring to
squeeze the life out OF him. The
Judge became an eager spectator of
the novel combat. Ever and anon
the rattlesnake would bite the black.
snake. Then a remarkable thing
would occur
The blacksnake as soon as bitten
would uncoil himself, dart for small
bush, aud bite off one OF the leaves.
He would molsten it in his mouth,
press out the juice, apply it to the
bitten place, and then return to his
enemy again. This was repeated
several times until the blacksnake
squeezed the life out of the rattler.
Judge Bowman says he never kills
tlacksnakes. He says it is their
mission and one they greatly enjoy
to destroy all the venomous snakes
they can find. The Judge has a
net blacksnake that stays in his
barn and keeps away all the rats and
mice

Not Ashamed of His Trade.

s'Tom" Poole, the friend Of Cole
ridge and other men Of genius, and
one of the most pronounced Liberals
Of his time, was the son Of a tanner.
His father had resolved that this lad
should continue the business, and so,
although a younger brother went to
college, poor Tom vas apprenticed to
the tanning trade, with the bare
equipment Of reading, writing, aid
arithmetic.
But Tom hungcred for an educa-
tiCn, and set about getting it. With
the aid of a cousin ami that Of a
French refugee he learned Latin,
French, and a little Greek. AS time
went on he found that he was ignor-
ant Of practical details connected
with his trade, and 50 le home, and
began working under teigned name
in large lanyard, where he could
become acquainted with the newest
Improvements that had been intro
duced into the business.
All his life long he sought growth
and development, and that he WaS
never spoiled by prosperity is indi-
Gated by one significant incident. He
was one day walking in Bath with
the Marquis Of Lansdowne, and recog-
nized III an old wagner driving by a
man who had been carter il the tan
yard where had worked.
= He excused himself to his COM
panion, and hurried across the street
to offer the carter his hand. The
man stared at him for moment, and
then exclaimed, delightedly:
Sure, 'Jis never our Tummas!
Well, Ibid always think thee summat
above the common"
Poole could be very vehement at
times in bis abuse Of the aristocracy.
Even when he was county magiS-
trate and a man Of acknowledged i'm.
portarce in the neighborhood, he
would say, aggressively:
II am a p!ebeian. l am a tanner.
You know | am tanner,,'

wits used to call him Lord Chancellor

WILD FLOWERS OF WYOMING.

Wyoming has many beautiful species
OF flowers, conspicuous among them
being the Iow-growing Towering plants.
Cacti are everywhere present, there
being at least three varieties OF Opun-
tia, or Prickly Pear. Then there are
also the EpiphylIun and a bell.like
species, probably an Echinocactus.
The Yucca Filamentosa grows In
great abundance, throwing up its be.1-
tiful spikes of white flowers. The
wild Clematis is indigenous here, also
the wild Tiger Lily, Geranium, or
Cranes bill, Larkspur, several species
of Conyolvulus, Cyclamen, Sweet Peas,
wild Tulip and Prlmroses.
There is a peculiar skeleton plant,
which seems to be bundle of twining,
leafless stems of pale pea-green; it
grows to the height of about two feet,
and produces little blue flower. In
the fall, the bushes detach themselves
from the root and are blown about by
every idle wind so that the people call
them ''tumbling weeds"
There are also many very fine species
Of Ferns, some Of those in the noun
tain canyons growing to height Of
four feet, and very beautiful in form
and foliage.
On the mountains are very many
Alpine flowers found, some growing
near the streams and watcred by the
icy waters of the melting snow, some
on the edge of rocky or barren tracts
where their scantv roots can but inst
mainta their hold. Y. NJ.

4 LEGEND OF THE CHRYsANTHEMUM

a AEIGNO OC LIE
Lung Lee, nephew Of the Sun and
Emperor of China, was extremely fond
OF that royal flower, the chrysanthe-
mum. He showered hopors upon the
person who produced new specimens
and he had in his garden these flowers
of all tints Of the rainbow save ones
blue chrysanthemum was lacking, and
although many tried none were able !o
droduce it. The good Emperor tore
his hair with rage, beheaded a florist
Or two, and finally offered a princely
reward to any one who should produce
the flower, promising to the successful
one the hand of his daughter, Hi Too,
who was charming in mind as she was
beautiful in face and form. Among
her admirers was a young gardener
who had charge Of circle of precious
chrysanthemums in the Emperor's
grounds. he had llkened the lovely
maiden to the charming white chrysan-
themum, and had murmured words of
affection to his adored princess, who
loved him IN return. This young MAI
entered the lists in competition for this
coveted prize, and alter long expert
menting succeeded in proanciny at
last beautiful blue cLrvsanthemum
which he showed one evening to the
princess, saying that he should present
it to the Emperor on the following
morning. But alas! An elderly rival
had been wa ching the young lover
with jealous eyes, and on the morrow,
when ne went eagerly to pick his
treasure, he found it brokon from the
stalk and gone, The jenlous rival had
discovered the peerless flower and had
presented It to the Emperor US his own
production, claiming the promised re-
ward. Just as he did so young man,
pale with anxiety, rushed into the EN-
peror's presence, charging that this
man had stolen his flower The rival
at once gave him the lie and the En-
peror trowned upon them both. At
at last be decided that they must both
raise another flower and that which
ever should prove on imposter should
be beheaded on the spot.
At last the day came when the tri-
umphant lover carried to the King
another chryssnthemum, bluer and
lovelier than tho last, and WAS re-
warded with gracious smile from the
Emperor and tho hand of the lovely
Hi Too. When they searched for the
unhappy rival they found that he had
stabbed himself N the midst of his
flowers in desperation and to escape
the fate awaiting him. The nuptlals Of
the young lover and the beautiful Prin-
cess were celebrated with becoming
pomp, and after long and happy
reign they died, the secret OF the blue
chrysanthemum dying with them.
Many are the hybridizers who have
tried to produce it since but sll have
been uns- ccessful.
