too good to last.
The insect was not introduced into

could not be encouraged to propagate
successfully. A priest had the honor

Women in Gardening.

Gardening is destined to become a
part of the general education of women.
Its value in the kindergarten system
cannot be overestimated. Already in
several kindergartens Towering plants
are kept in the schoolroom and the
children are taught to properly care
for them. The result of this innovation
is said to be highly satisfactory, since
the work develops traits and talents not
acquired by other means.
Not only for kindergarten teachers is
a knowledge of gardening valuable, but
also for instructors of the higher grades.
Recently the thorough understanding
and proper care of the human body has
become branch of education of the ut
often fatal results of ignorance in this
direction have been too openly mani
fest. So physiology has been coupled
with elementary hygiene in our public
schools.
Just so, also. the plant culture is des-
tined to become part of botany, as it
is now taught. Inasmuch as entomol-
ogy may encourage cruelty unless care
fully guided, so also botany may en-
courage ruthlessness unless coupled
with careful training in the care OF
plants.
That a woman with a knowledge OF
flower gardening, fruit culture and
kitchen gardening will make a more
efficient wife for the farmer, suburban
resident or country mechanic needs no
explanation.
The influence of this branch of edu-
cation upon the youth of both sexes is
very powerful. During the earlier
days of life children are most receptive
| and the Unborn love of nature can be
either stimulated so as to exert health

The Inevitable Desk.

No matter what her vocation in life, a
woman needs a desk. Here she can
keep her personal papers under lock and
key, and she will know where to find
them. To the woman who writes desk
of her own is a necessity. There are
desks for the economical woman as well
as for her more luxurious sister in these
days when the manufacturer caters to
the pennies. Desks of oak, with fascinat-
ing pigeonholes galore, can be bought
for 81. More elaborate desks, with
book shelves beneath and a place for
bric-a-brac above. cost from 81 to $40
One of the latest desks for milady's den
is of white enamel, with the sides ar
ranged to hold photographs. These
sides fold over before the writing tablet
shuts up. The lower part of the desk is
shelf for books, protected by silken
curtains at the side, which match in
color the lining of the Photographic
screen. Such desk is charming ad-
ditiOn to any room.

been coming down our street twice a
day for the last six months. At first he

street, pretending not even to glance at
our house"
"Oh, he was"
"Timid? Yes, that was it. I felt
really touched byssuch silent devotion,
and after that would often tap on the
window and call him over, but he would
be so nervous and i'll at ease all the
time. Why, he would not even look at
me, but keep glancing down the street
all the time. By the way, he must
have passed your house; did you ever

SHE WAS AN ADVENTURES.
How She Took in a Crowd on an Express
Train.

The express train from St. Panl to
Duluth made short stay at Pine City.
After the train was already in motion,
a young woman was seen to run along
the platform and jump into a car in
which was only a few gentlemen.
Throwing herself into corner seat, she
began to cry Historically, and the sympa-
thetic men, feeling compassion for the
poor creature, naturally offered their
assistance and inquired the cause of her
violent emotions. She hesitated in her
reply but at last, amid, goodly flow
of tears related that against her will
she had been forced by her parents to
marry man whom she did not and
could not love. A few days previous
she had arrived at Pine City, his home,
and he at once began to ill-treat her,
she was now forced to protect herself to
leave the town and return to her par
ents, as she could not live with him any
longer.
| During her recital she showed several
marks and scars on her neck and arms
! not neglecting to expose a portion of
/ her beautiful form, whilst remaining
within the limits of propriety-inficted
! by the cruelty of her husband. Al
though he watched her carefully she
managed to escape from him, and was
able to jump into the moving train. Her
wish was to return to her parents, who
lived in jefferson, Neb., but this she
could not do. as her husband had taken
all her money, and at that moment she
did not have cent in her pocket. One
word led to another. She removed her
jewelry, consisting of bracelets, ear
rings, and watch, gave her name and
parents address, and one of the gentle
men was kind enough to advance her
800. At the next station, amid as
surances of everlasting gratitude, and
the most charming. "Oh, thank you,
sir, she left the car to take another
train southbound. The gentleman who
gave the money, it is needless to say,
was sold, the jewelry was worthless
trash, and the story of the cruel hus-
band was trick theatrically presented
by an experienced thief.

Souls Untamed by Music.

There was long line waiting in the
lobby of the Metropolitan opera house
the other day to buy tickets for special
performance of opera, when a deter
mined looking young woman who
seemed to be in great hurry came in.
She gave one glance at the line and con-
cluded Immediately that she didn't have
time to wait for her regular turn. So
she walked up the line until she came
to rather mild-mannered woman, who
didn't look as if she would object to any
sort of affront. There she stopped,
looked around and then deliberately
forced her way into the line in front of
the mild young woman.
The mild young woman was consider
ably surprised. She hesitated an in
slant. as if uncertain whether to call an
attendant and have the interloper put
out or not. Then she leaned forward
and said. very distinctly:
you beast! You beast!"
The interloper was perfectly cool
about it and apparently unconcerned.
She turned partly around and, looking
over her shoulder, replied:
well, if you behave like an animal
you must expect to be treated as one. :"
