Some Social Customs.

Don't let us say that we wouldn't
trust our daughters and our sons any
where, let us keep our faith whole and
unbounded in them, but do let us re-
wise our ideas a little as to what is
right and proper in our social customs.
II our social customs were not so lax;
If young girls were not left alone with
young men SO often and for so long a
time, there would be few daughters of
respectable homes go astray. Mothers
cannot longer close their eyes to this
question; the souls of their daughters
are in their hands, and they owe it to
themselves, TO their daughters, and to
society to throw every possible protec-
ton around them. -Womankind.

ing lots unless the property is secured.
The house is an old Tory mansion, one
of the few still standing in excellent
condition in Cambridge, and it is ar
object OF great and increasing interest
to thousands of visitors from all over
the country. 1t would make a most
desirable museum.

Light In India.

Light is to be thrown at last on the
religion of India. The great shrine at
silva has been lighted with electricity,
and now the other temples will soon
be so arranged that by pressing a but
ton they can instantly be flooded with
light like a modern hotel. There are
some three million gods in the Hindu
Pantheon, and they will now witness
a miracle surprising any ever at
tributed to them. Heathenism will
have to go before the electric light.
There can be no more miracles
wrought in dark corners to deceive the
ignorant. Turn on the light and they
will see that it is murder to burn
women on the funeral pyre, and no re-
igion to torture child widows because
their baby husbands died. True re-
igion thrives best where men see
clearest, and the Brush light in the
temples of India will brush away the
old superstitions and false beliefs in
false gods. The world moves. The
Moses that was there when the light
want out is there to-day with an cleo
trio plant.

The laborer may be worthy of his
hire, but he does not always get it.
In California the growing of olive
trees from small cuttings was first
suggested by a poor nurseryman. 1t
was worth millions of dollars to Cali
fornia and the southwest, but the poor
discoverer got nothing from it. Before
that time olive trees for orchard plant
ing purposes used to cost 81 and IS
each. They can now be had by the
thousands for 10c and 15c each. A
poor Pomona nurseryman found, by
experimenting, that olive trees could
be propagated from cuttings by start
ing them in the winter months in
boxes of sand in hot greenhouses.
That discoveryhas been worth millions
of dollars to California and the south
west, but the discoverer is still work
ing in Pomona nursery for $3.50 a
day. The cuttings that come by the
hundreds from full fsized tree are
about the size of toothpicks.

Flower Growing.

Persistence, patience and persever-
ance are the three P's that spell sue
cess in the home culture of flowers.
If you have never tried flower-growing
you may expect to meet many failures;
professional florists do not always sue
ceed, and | am sure we hear enough
about about poor crops from our
friends, the farmers. Why then should
we expect every seed we put in the
ground to grow? OF course we must
expect failures, and it is in overcoming
them, in studying the nature, the
habits, and the requirements of differ
ent plants, that half the pleasure Of
Horticulture lies. The wise beginner

Counting Noses.

The International Statistical 1nsti-
tute asks that a simultaneous census
bo taken of all the world in 1900. This
can be done if slight notifications in
the time of taking their regular CEN
sus be made by the most important
countries. Portugal, Denmark, the
United States, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, Belgium, Hungary and
Sweden will regularly take their CEN
sus in 1900, and other countries might
easily arrange to do SO. This plan,
however, will hardly be agreed to by
New York and Chicago. 1t would
give them no time to incorporate
another village and make greater
New York or Chicago when the re-
turns of the census of the other city
came in.
