Love between women and men was
not invented for the entertainment of
philosophers, but largely for domestic
purposes; and if platonic love is to
have anything better than a hazardous
and unstable existence the conditions Of
it must be such that it may prosper
without conflict with natures more i'm
portant ends. Thus we see why pla-
tonic friendships between young peo-
pie who might marry do not endure.
Such couples get married and their
friendship merges into a more durable
sentiment. or else n of them marries
some one else. and then it lapses. At
least it should lapse, for, if it does
not, it moi only initiates against peace
in the family but it tends to keep the
unmarried platonist from going about
his business and finding himself Il mate,
according to natures design. Every
manageable man besides her husband
that any woman absorbs involves the
waste of some other woman's opportu-
mites, and nature hates waste with a
%proverbial %antipathy.

Mulching to XIII Weeds.

A small patch of quack grass or Can
ada thistles can be more easily killed
by mulching than in any other way.
Bury the young plants heavily with
straw, bending them down so as to
make a long, spindling growth near
the ground. If any come through the
straw covering do no. cut them off or
pull up the stalks. but bend down M
cover deeper. If this is done faithfully
for one summer the roots will be COM
pletely smothered before fall. 1t is
much easier and cheaper to destroy a
small patch in this way than by Guilt
waiting them, which only breaks up the
roots and causes each piece to grow
with new vigor. In fact, even where
cultivation has been tried as a rem
edy, we have always found the best
success by covering each green shoot
with moist soil as oon as 1t appears
above the surface. One of the advant-
ages of the mulching system is h a 1t
works best in a wet summer, when, by
relying wholly on cultivation, the weed
is more likely to be spread than to be
subdued.

Naming a horse is sometimes fully as
difficult as naming a baby, although the
groom of a well known New Yorker
did not find 1t so the other day. Mr..
Johnson had a valuable horse which he
had called Ajax, and only recently was
able to buy ain excellent rate for it.
What to call it was the problem, and
in his anxiety to discover Just the right
name several days went by. At last
he went to the stable n day and dis
covered that his groom had solved the
difficulty for him. The word Ajax

A correspondent at Webster, Ne
braska, writes:
Could you tell me how to sprout
cedar trees? I have quite a number
of cedar trees on my place that bear
any amount of seed. 1 have planted
the seed in many different ways, but
they always fail to grow.
Red cedar is hard to grow from
the seed. and they are the best grown
in the natural way underneath a con-
siderable grove of cedars. Here the
seedlings will start in the shade of
the trees and grow quite quickly after
the seeds drops, but to take seeds from
the tree and grow them, n must
initiate these natural methods n sup
ply the conditions under which nature
grows it's seedlings. This requires ex-
pert work. The seeds have to be gath
cred after they are matured and Kept
over the following summer and sown
the second spring after being gathered.
This is because they ripen too late
for termination the next spring. When
taken from the trees the hard coatings
of a resinous character should be re-
moved by washing in a strong alkah
or soapy water. They should then be
planted as evergreen seeds are planted
and given the care nurserymen give to
evergreen seedlings.

STORY OF A STORK.
How 1t Carried n Letter to Africa
and Brought One Back

How 1t Carried n Letter to Africa
and Brought One Back.
A story that comes from Germany is
as quaint as it is true, says Our Ami
NAL Friends. Some children living in
the northern provinces discovered that
a stork had made it's nest upon their
roof. Being orthodox little Teutons
they hailed the newcomer with favor.
as storks are supposed to bring luck
to a house. All the summer they
shared their tidbits with their long
legged friend, which became very tame
and companionable.
At the first signs of approaching cold
weather the stork prepared to fit to
warmer climes. The children were sad
at the thought of losing their pet, but
their parents consoled them with the
| assurance that the bird would surely
return the next spring. The children,
still uneasy at the idea of the stork
not being cared for through the long
winter, consulted together and evolved
a brilliant idea, which they immedi-
ately proceeded to put into execution.
They wrote a note in their best Ger
man script, stating that the stork was
very dear to them and begged the good
people in whose country it might spend
the winter to be kind to their pet, II
send it back to them in the spring.
They sealed the note. fastened 1t to
a ribbon. tied it around the birds neck
and tucked it under it's wing. The
next day they sadly watched the stork
wing its way toward milder skies. The
snow and ice came; Christmas time
brought the children gifts and fresh
a~musements, but their summer pet
was not forgotten. When the spring
came round again their little feet used
to climb to the roof day by day, look
ing and longing for the storks return;
and behold One fine morning there
it was, tame and gentle as ever.
Great was the children's delight, but
| what was their surprise to discover
| round it's neck and under its wing an
| other bright band with a note at
| tached, addressed to 1.-The children who
wrote the letter the stork brought
The ribbon was quickly united inc the
missive opened. 1t was from a mis-
sionary in Africa, stating that he had
read the children's note and had cared
for the stork and thought that chill
dren whose hearts had prompted them
to provide for the comfort OF a pro
through the winter would be Wlinng 10
help clothe and feed the little destitute
children of his mission. A full name
and address followed.
The children were full of sympathy
and the m~issionary's note won a gold
en- answer from the family. Other let
tiers came and went by post between
them until by and by the children
learned to know the missionary ant
his little black waits almost as wei
as they knew the beloved stork tina
had proved so trusty a messenger.

An Amusing Experiment.

The harder a thing seems the more
interesting it is. Here is a little ex-
pertinent, very simple. too. which
seems almost impossible on the face Of
lit seems to defy the law of gravi-
tation.
lou take a tumbler. says the Popu-
lar Science News, filled partly with
water. so as to stand firmly. Then
take a strip of wood. about the length
of an ordinary lead pencil. half an
inch wide and an eighth of an inch
thick and tapering to a point at one
end. About one-third of the way from
this end you wedge two ordinary table
knives into the strip. Now balance
the tongue" of the strip carefully
upon the edge of the tumbler, moving
1t slightly backward or forward to
make the equilibrium perfect. When
you have found the center of gravity,
which may occasion you a little troub-
lie at first, you will be rewarded by
seeing the frail contrivance delicately
poised in an exquisite balance, which
at first sight seems almost miraculous.

Knew What He Was SAYING.

In an Edinburg school an inspector,
wishing to test the knowledge of a
class in fractions, asked one boy
whether he would rather take a sixth
or a seventh part of an orange, if he
had his choice. The boy promptly re-
piled that he would take the seventh.
At this the inspector explained at
length to the class that the boy who
would choose the smaller part, as this
boy had done, because 1t looked the
largest fraction, was very foolish.
Then there was a laugh. But presently
the laugh was on the other side, when
another boy got up and said boldly
