''Begone About Your Business.

A sun dial in Cheshire, England, con
stantly gives 4 good advice to all who
pause to read it's inscription, and the
way it came to do so is told in this
story, taken from Notes and Queries:
It seems the dial was removed many
years since from the inner Temple;
and when it was put up in that place
there was some discussion among the
Benchers as to what motto it should
bear. The Benchers agreed to hold d
meeting to take into consideration what
the motto should be; and the artist
was to send at a certain hour to the
library to Inquire on what they had de-
termined. The Benchers forgot all
about the matter, and when a messen-
ger came he found in the library only
o cross old gentleman poring over an
to1d boek. sPl lease, SIR 2 said the mes
senger, II am come for the motto for
the sun dial" ''What?" said the testy
old gentleman; "why do you disturb
me? Begone about your business"
Away went the messenger, and gave
this word to his master; and he, either
by design or mistake, engraved it in
large letters under the dial, "Begone
about your business The Benchers,
when they saw it, determined that no
motto could be more appropriate-that
chance had done their work for them
even better, perhaps, than if their
memory had served to enable them to
do it for themselves, and so there it
remains.

press the earth around it and water to
settle the soil; then put them away in

both sun and frost.
A good plan is to plunge the pot into
coal ashes until there is an inch or so
of ashes over the top Of the bulb, and
place in a cool, dark cellar. This is in
order to encourage root development,
without which there cannot be many
flowers. After planting do not water
them again, unless they become abso-
lutely dry, until they are ready to be
brought into daylight, which may be
done as soon as the leaves begin to
grow freely. They should not be placed
in a higher tempera ture than 60 or 70
degrees, and it should be as even as
possible. Hyacinths, tulips and narcis-
sus will be found to be the best to
grow, although some of the others may
be used to relieve them.
In planting keep the taller sorts in
the center and dwarf ones in front.

s<P1aying Fool"

1t. Is not every man who recognizes
the folly Of his course before it is too
late to make amends, for his actions.
1t was otherwise with the young shoe
maker in. the following instance. How
much better, however, it would have
been had he never entered upon his fool
ish course at all!
This young shoemaker, though an
energetic and Industrious workman, fell
into the habit of sIending much time
at a saloon near by. One by one his
customers began to desert him. When
his wife demonstrated with him for
so neglectng his work for the saloon,
he would carelessly reply, "Oh, I've
just been down a little while playing
pool" His little twe<year-old caught
the refrain, and would often ask, lis
you going down to play fool, papa?"
Smithe tried in vain to correct this
word. The child persisted in his own
pronunciation, and day by day he &C
costed his father with, "Has you been
playing fool, papa?'' This made
deep impression on the shoemaker, as
he realized that the question was being
answered in the falling off Of his GUS
toners and the growing wants of the
household. He resolved again and
again to quit the pool table, but week
~ allowed the passion Of play to hold
him a long time. Finally he found
himself out Of work, out of money and
out of flour. Sitting on his bench one
afternoon, idle and despondent, he was
heard to eXclaim,-
mo work again to-day! What I'm
to do don't know
"Why, papa" pratted the baby.
cant you run down and play fool some
more?"
"Oh, hush, you poor childv' groaned
his father, shame-stricken "That's just
the trouble; papa has played fool too
much already"
But he never played it again, and to-
day his home is comfortable and hap
py.

story Of a man who was asked why he
talked to himself so much.
WELL" said he, there are two rea-
sons. 9l the first place I like to talk
to sensible man, and in the second
place I like to hear a sensible man

A somewhat similar remark, less
witty, but expressive of what is proba-

by another man.
There are two things that bother

other is how is it going to get on after

Care for Them.

A good supply of flowers can be
grown and enjoyed in winter and early
spring, by planting bulbs in the early
part of October. Planting bulbs can
not be too highly recommended to pos
SCISSORS of a garden, however small, as
the flowers bloom when the garden is
bare and absolutely devoid Of interest,
says the New York Herald. Those who
do not possess a patch Of ground or
who live in cities can also surround
themselves with beautiful flowers at
this perio6. by planting the bulbs in
pots, glasses or window boxes.

a good effect can be obtained by
planting in a window box, as shown in
the cut. The box can be purchased at
almost any price up to SIS. but unless
you are the possessor Of a long purse it
would be advisable not to spend too
much mney on a box, as $5 will pur-
chase over two hundred bulbs.
A good box can be made as follows:

course the form can be varied at will
It is drawn to scale Of half an inch to
one foot so that the hyacinths are nine
inches apart A richer effect is OBJ
talned by planting closer, say seven in
ches apart. Several other designs are
also given suitable for beds.
A beautiful bed of tulips and hya-
cinths recently seen by the writer con-
sisted of panels Of hyacinths grandeur a
Mertelli, pale blush, king Of the blues
and fabioia pale rose These were di-
vided by rows of tulips, including Du-
chesse de Parma, crimson and yellow,
Joost van Vondel, red, queen Of the
violets, chrysolova yellow and white
swan. A good effect is obtained by
planting 8 bed of pink or almost any
color and surrounding it with a border
of white. Tulips planted alone make
charming bed, two contrasting colors
being sufficient, as Kaiser Kroon, red
and yellow, with an edging Of pax alba,
white. Heart shaped beds of pink, as
Proserpina, surrounded by a row of
white, look well, or a bed of white,
surrounded by violet-in fact, the COM
binations are almost endless.
A thing to be avoided is putting. too
uany colOfS III one Ded IN patches. The
best effect is obtained by massing col
ors together by themselves. Plant so
that the dwarf varieties surround the
taller ones. The culture Of the other
bulbs is in every respect similar, vary
ing only in depth of planting and dis
tance apart.
Hyacinths and tulips should be plant
ed four or five inches deep and other
bulbs in proportion to their size, but no
bulb, however small, should be planted
at less depth than two and half or
three inches: The distances apart are
as follows: Anemones, 5 inches; Gro

The French idea of Education for
Girls. -.

AAA> - ASASAA 4uOSI OF EOuCAttOn for
Girls. -,
The French always make this distinc-
ton between INSTRUCTOR and sseduca-
ton" Instruction means what the
girls study, while education includes
manners, breeding, customs, conduct,
habits, ideas, and any amount of learn
ing without this education, in their
sense of the word, means nothing to
them at all. .,- ~. :.
1t is natural to suppose that for this
education, as they understand it, no
body could be more careful, or take
so much interest as a mother: and
add to this the fact that when a man
proposes for a girl in France, he ex-
poets her mother to be able to account
for every hour OF the daughters life.
and you will understand why, above
everything else, the education the
french prefe- for their daughters is

ton for Girls in France" by Katharine

for glass culture Get glasses similar
to that shown in the cut. Use rain wa
ter if possible and do not change it un-
less it smells bad. Putting a little char
coal in the water will help some. Fill
the glasses with water until it nearly
touches the bulb, and keep up q good
supply. Place them in a cool, dark
place until the roots nearly touch the
bottom Of the glass, then bring gradual
ly to the light, and when the leaves are
expanded give as much light as posi-
BILE.
A mantel shelf or any place which is
alternately very hot and very cold is
the worst place to put the bulbs.
The Roman hyacinth is also very de-
sirable for culture indoors, as although
it has not so many flowers on a spike
as the Dutch hyacinth it is better for
bouquets, being devoid Of the stiffness

Bulbs Outdoors.
The kinds suitable for outdoor culture
are very numerous, but the amateur
will do we'll to contine his attention to
the more well known varieties, such as
anemodes, crocuses, narcissnscsor daft
! fodils, snowdrops, tulips and hyacinths.
These afford a wide variety Of color
| and form. Hyacinths for outdoor cul-
| ture can be bought as low as fifty cents
dozen and tulips at twenty-five cents
! dozen. Narcissuses are also cheap
and so are crocuses.
The beds are best if raised from the
surface Of the ground about eight in
ches in front and fourteen at the back
and the soil should be light and rich,
similar to that recommended for pots,
though it need not be so good. Plant
hyacinths seven inches apart and let
there be five inches of earth over the
crown of the bulb. A thin coat Of
manure spread over the bed after plant
ing is good but is not necessary Grown
in beds they do not require water or
supports, all that is required being
that they be planted properly.
