Language of the Visiting. Card.

The custom of turning down the
corners of the cards to signify different
messages is not very general one, a.
it is considered better form to have
ones pasteboard representative as fresh
in appearance as possible, writes Mrs.
Hamilton Mott in the October Ladies'
Home Journal. However, the fashion
does obtain to small extent and its
language is as follows: Turning the
upper right-hand corner signifies that
the single card is to include all the
ladies of the household, and turning
the left-hand upper corner, that the call
was made personally. The latter is the
more senseless custom, as, except in
Washington, where the visiting duties
are so very onerous, it is very unusual
in thi country for ladies to call by
proxy, or to send their cards to door
by their maid or footman.

loan, leaf-mo'd, manure and sand in
sufficient quantities t) make it porous
enough for the water to filter through
it gradually. Too much sand will make
the soil so open that water will pass
through it rapidly, without doing the
roots of the plants any good Gerani-
ums it'll large, trailing roots can be
hung on nails, or placed on shelves, in
the cellar, during the winter months,
where they will keep all right until
needed in the spring again, provided
the temperature of the cellar never de-
scends to the freozing-point. 1t is al
ways better to carry the standard plants
over from winter to winter than to buy
them fresh from the florist in the
spring, Many plants that thrive and
bloom well in the greenhouse do very
poorly when transplanted to your gar
den; but the flower plants that you
have carried over will be hardy enough
to grow thrivingly in their old bed in
the garden. One should take up only
strong, healthy plants, selected from
the best stock in the garden. If frost
holds off, or protection from it can be
had in the garden, it is better to leave
the geraniums that are hung in the eel
lar in the ground until after the middle
of October.-G. b. w., IN Outlook

About Spanking.

Don't the book say "Take this child,
train it for me?" Don't fog your chill
dren. Don't forget the child's flesh is
tender. Don't try to break his or her
will. Don't imagine Solomon meant
such an uuseemly way. Don't spare
the rod of correction, Mol there are
many ways to correct (train) a child
without blows. Don't fret and scold
Don't notice every little fault or fail
ing Don't promise to punish and fail
to do it. Don't be austere aud scold to
the little ones. Don't tell little " white
lies" to your children. Don't "pro-
woke thy child to wrath" Don't yell
and scream at, or threaten your chill
dren. Don't forget TO keep barrel or
large tub of water handy to get to.
Don't fail to " souse " Johnny or Mary
if they persist in disobeying. Don't be
surprised if the secoud dip cures
them. -Stockmon and Farmer.

Decorating a Radiator.

There is nothing in the whole domes-
tic economy so hopelessly ugly as the
steam radiator. The screens and Jap
anese umbrellas that are usually placed
before it only emphasize its unattrac-
tiveness. 1t has remained for a woman
TO perfect scheme for making pretty
corner out of the hopeless place where
this comfortable but hideous heater
stands. A couple of shelves on brack-
cts placed above the heater, suggests
the New York Press, brass pole run
along the lower shelf, curtain hung,
a few books and ornaments placed on
the shelves, and the thing is done. A
bookcase might be in the corner for all
any one would know during the sum-
mer and when the heat is needed dur
ing the winter mon h, just push the
curtain aside and the heater can do all
its work. OF course the heat will de-
moralize bound book, but paper nov
els or some works no one cares much
for may be used, and there never was
better place for mage zines. Vases
and all sorts of pretty things can be
pressed into service with the very hap
piest results, and any flowers or grass es
that will wave little in the heated air
will give fetching effect.-E Exchange.

Unknown Writers Editors Are After

New writers often suppose them
selves rejected because they are un-
known; but the unknown man of force
and quality is of all others the man
whom the editor welcomes to his page.
He knows that there is always dan
ger that the reigning favorite may fail
to please, that at any rate, in the order
of things, he is passing away, and that
if the magazine is rot to pass away
with the men who have made it, there
must be a constant infusion of fresh
life. Few editors are such fools OF
knaves as to let their personal feeling
disable their judgment; and the young
writer who gets his manuscript back
ay be sure that it is not because the
editor dislikes him, for some reason or
no reason. Above all, he can trust me
that his contribution has not been
passed unread, or has failed of the eX-
animation it merits. Editors are not
men of infallble judgment, but they
do use their judgment, and it is usually

Collection OF American OctObers.

say you get an October of good flavor
as soon as the end of August. Then,
as soon as the leaves begin to

that the more you take of it overnight
The livelier you feel in the morning.
OF course one would want a sample Of

Women and Home.

Women worry too much over the small
affairs of life and wear themselves out over
such matters as undarned holes in the
table linen, furnished silver and unwashed
iceboxes. OF course am talking of the
great middle classes of women who look
after their own servants and households
and attend to the marketmen, butchers,
grocers and bakers, who help to form the
formidable array of daily cares which are
inseparable from housekeeping. Unfor-
tunately, in nine cases out of ten, lack of
system is the principal stumbling block in
the way of good housekeeping and perfect
service
The woman who conducts her house on
bystem which servants and tradesmen are
made to understand will find her lot much
Easier and will be able to converse inteli-
gently on some subject besides that ever
lasting bugbear, the management of serv-
ants.
Days and hours arranged for certain
household duties and kept strictly to will
simplify housekeeping and insure the re-
spect of servants, however ignorant or stu
pid they may seem. The great fault with
servants is that mistresses begin wrong
with them and then lay their own short
comings at the door of the cook, laundress
or chambermad.
1t is possible to train the most seemingly
impossible case of servant-girlism to a state
of absolute perfection, and this is always
done by the women who are not hollow
eyed and worn out through their struggles
with the kitchenmad.
Some women seem to like to fret and
worry and think those two verbs the most
important ones in the management of their
households,
Women are not good enough to them
selves as a rule, and the health reform
list who breaches rest and sunshine and sofa
pillows and a matinee now and then to the
great army of housekeeping women will
have n text worthier than muscle culture
and dumbbell exercise or even the newest
fads in physical training
1t is told that a certain New York society
woman whose engagements occupied near
ly "a hours of each day made a practice of
taking one day every two weeks which she
devoted to a thorough resting process, re-
naming in bed all day and having mas
seurs manipulate her tired limbs and ach-
ing head until the feeling of positive and
complete rest was assured.
| would advocate such a day off, for
housekeeping women. Not day at home
spent within reach of Household worries and
annoyanceS, but day begun at a turkish
bath establishment and ended by a perfect
dinner at some good hotel. Get out of the
rut of housekeeping worries once in awhile.
Rest the tired head and hands in the lux
urious languor of a Turkish bath. Get
medicned, manicured, massaged, hair
l. dressedl
You will go home feeling positively young
again and will surprise your household
with smile long absent among the wrin-
kles and lines of an existence made miser-
able through constant friction with house
hold wOrries.-N York Herald.

The Field Daisy.

The field daisy is an anomaly in the
American fora. Formerly it was the
most despised and detested of all nox-
ious weeds. We say noxious, because
it was the adherence and often the
despair OF the farmer. His name for ii
was white weed. when, from certain
legend connected with it, it was not
something worse. 1t was tenacious Of
its place in the soil, when it once OF
tanned place there, bevond any other
nuisance or the grass field. Ploughing
did little good. If it did MT sill stay
in the burrows it would find its way out
in the manure next year and uprear It's
saucy head more fresh and blooming
than ever. The worst OF it all was
that it was always beau iful. The
aesthetic sense is not grea y developed
in the average farmer, and when il
conflicts with his pref it is N Yer any
where. He could not see its beauty,
and in carrier days almost every one
else was with him. But OF la.e the
beauty of the daisy has been too much
for the sense of utility. 1t has become
fashionable flower. It's plenty nc
longer precludes it from his distinc-
ton. Maldens 60 INTO ecstacles over
it, as Oscar Wilde not long since bowed
down in alteration to the sunAower.
While it is but The worst of weeds in one
quarter, it is enshrined in another
Here, indeed, is an anomaly, and it
seems in a fair way to be continued.
Fashion has put its stamp on the flower
to stay, while those to whom it is IA
nuisance will still regard it as 10 the
grass field what the canker worm or the
caterpillar is to the orchard 1t is a
pity that this Iestiforous work should
all be done with face of such smiling
beauty. Boston Herald.

DO YOU mean the widows mite?"

the answer. 81 shall be satisfied with
half as much as she gave" said his
friend. GLOW much are you worth?"
"Seveuty thousand dollars" Give
me, then, your check for $35,000 that
will be half as much as she gave; for
she, you know, gave her all" The
rich man was cornered. CovetOus peo-
Pile often try to shelter themselves be-

How to Kill a Meeting.

Stay away from it, Come late. Take
back seat. Take no part in it. Say
discouraging thugs about it. Never
take anyone to it. Never pray for the
leader. Never study the topic before
hand. Refuse to lead when asked to
do so. Be Indifferent to spiritual re-
suits. If you pray or speak at all, con-
sumo twice the time which belongs to
you. These are few ways in which
many persons make large contributions
toward killing prayer-meetings To do
the opposite things would contribute
largely and powerfully to make meet
ings live and helpful. -Selected.
