Plants i'm the Home.

There are some homes which distinc-
lively impress themselves on the mind
of the visitor as being abodes of artistic
refinement and comfortable elegance.
They need not be eXtravag antly fur
nished, and yet there is something about
them that appeals to the incest sense as
soon as the front door is opened. When
called upon to analyze this peculiar
beauty, it resolves itself into the con-
clusion that such a place is sweeter and
better than others because at every turn
one meets with bits of living green that
serve to make il peculiarly attractive
Though rigid economy must needs be
practiced. the Introduction of single
plant will give an air of luxury, and If
to this Is added a blithe little canary in

feeling that cannot be defined, but which
makes itself so keenly felt.-Chicago

Mothers and Dauehter--in-L"w

With those mothers whose grown sons
are contemplating matrimony we wish TO
have a little confidential chat OF course
we know that you think no one in the
world is quite good enough for that boy
of yours, but just the same let the ten
derness and the gentle acts Of oonsid-
Grafton be for the youthful bride rather
than for the new made husband.
It is a crucial period in woman's life
when she enters another family. ana
many an hour of sorrow can be avoided
If at the outset Johns mother puts her
loving arms around the new daughter
and makes her feel she is welcome ad-
dition rather than an intruder in the
new home. Love your boy all you want
to. but do not make your affection FOR
your son show up in evident contrast 10
the lukewarm feeling YOU entertain for
his wife.
Men are not so easily hurt. The mas
culine heart is not SO easily wounded
Sights that would grieve the woman
would never be noticed by the man.
Therefore be hypOcritical rather than too
honest in your expression Of feeling
Make the young girl feel at home. You
never will know the awful longing she
may experience for words of love and
comfort. You perhaps deem her cold
when she is doing her best to keep back
the tears of lOnliness.
Even though she does not live under
your roof, you can show in many ways
that you regard her as a daughter rather
than that dignified individual, your sons
wife. If she is far away from her own
home try 10 make up to her for its loss,
and though at first your own heart may
cry out against the division of an affec-
ton that has always been yours entirely
in time you will reap the reward Of a
greater love both from the son and the
daughter-in-law.-Ph Philadelphia Times.

Chemistry for Girls.

Knowing the chemical composition of
-four meat and potatoes and the effect
of various methods of preparation, a
housewife can put her learning to eco
nomical uses and do her cooking ON such
a basis as to produce palatable dishes
with no loss of nutriment and at the
least expense. AS a matter Of fact an
educated cook, even though she enjoys
the reputation of always making things
taste good" Is seldom a saving cook
not because she intends to be wasteful,
but because she has not the scientific
knowledge regarding food materials and
their management, which would enable
her to be saving. On the other hand,
an intelligent cook has scientific reason
for every direction and every process.
She is able not only to produce the most
appetizing results, but to do so with
the greatest economy of time, labor and
money.
The same is true in other departments
which come under the care of the house
wife. A knowledge of chemistry ana
the ability to make few simple tests
would enable her to avoid the use OF
a great many frauds, useless and IN
furious articleS-for example, washlng
compounds that are utterly worthless or
that will rot the clothes; toilet powders
containing bismuth, or arsenic for her
own complexion or use in the nursery
expensive baking powders that contain
alum or something worse; a WonderIul
furniture polish at 80 cents pint thaJ
costs about 10 cents a gallon; poisonous
hair dyes; dangerous ointments; quaek
medicines warranted To cure the most
severe attack of something in half an
hour. etc. ad infinitum.
Therefore. we say, let the girls study
chemistry in the school, not merely for
the culture and mental discipline to be
derived from it, but for its practical.
economic value. and not only let them
do it. but insist that the school d.
rectors furnish the opportunity for them
10 study at least the elements of the
subiect.-Philadelph Record.

unfavorably the bills offered at Wash

better protection and care of animals

bill is the one introduced by Mr..
Cullom, and referred to the Commit

duces the number of delegates to
FIVE, leaves the President Of the
United States free to select them at
his own discretion, and drops the
IS, 900 salaries named in the bill in
PRODUCED by Mr. Cummings. But 1t
provides that the pay and allowances
of the commissioners" shall be at
the rate of $40 per day and actual
necessary expenses, giving a rather
wide leeway. The paper suggests
that the members of such commits
sion ought to receive nothing but
their expenses. and that no man
ought to be a member Of 1t who is
not sufficiently interested in the
work to be willing to give to 1t his
time without compensation. The
persistent introduction of the feature
of @pay and allowances" is painfully
indicative of a desire on the part OF
somebody to provide for himself OF
