In some Instances, as said above, the
housewifery classes are carried on ID
conjunction with the ordinary elemen-
tary school, and for the matter Of that in
the same building, two afternoons
week being set aside for this purpose. In
this case there are also two evenings
weekly when from to 10 O'Clock the
young girls are taught how to make
plain dresses, nnderlinen, how to knit
stockings and woolen shirts, how to card
cotton and wool how TO darn socks and
TO mend household linen. While these
special lessons are in progress one Of the
teachers reads out loud some work about
farming on small industries, OF even 4
book of travels, which serves to widen
the range of thought Of these budding
intelligences.
Already these institutions are making
their influence felt i'll the countries
which have adopted The idea thereof, and
those who have visited them assert that
they will ultimately serve 10 raise the
standard of comfort, peace and happi-
ness among the working classes and con
sequently improve the general status Of
the masses. Moreover, they are by no
means costly to keep up, for, according
to recent statistic on the question, the
expenses in connection with a school for
100 pupils amount to about $500 year.
This being given, it is to be hoped that
the housewifery school viii soon become
an accepted fact in big cities, as will
surely the addition of housewifery class
es to every elementary village school

Awaited Certain Death.

Held by It's Glittsring Eye, a Rabbit
Awaited Certain Death.
A gopher snake at Escondido has been
the cause Of much earnest discussion
among local naturalists recently. The
question discussed was, "Do Snakes
Charm Or Hypnotic Their Prey?7 One
Of the naturalists had the unusual but
fortunate experience at Escondido of
happening upon a large gopher snake
just as the reptile was about to over
come trembling cottontail rabbit and
envelop the animal il its deadly coils.
For some time the naturalist watched
the snakes movements.
1t was within 10 or 12 inches of the
apparently fascinated rabbit Silently
and almost imperceptibly the snake had
wormed its way nearer and nearer to
Its victim. Its eyes glistened with an
intense brightness. Not a movement did
it make which might alarm the timid
rabbit. The forked tongue, which to the
eye Of q human being il 20 repulsive
and intended to be terrifying, appeared
to exert an entirely different influence
upon the mind Of the innocent rabbit.
This darting tongue either excited the
victims curiosity or caused the animal
to 50 concentrate its mind on the snakes
tongue az to throw that mind into
hypnotic condition OF such strength that
it could not break the spell and run
away from impending death. The forked
tongue darted out Of the snakes mouth
almost as regularly and rapidly as the
needle Of a sewing machine rises and
falls in the cloth. The 1.-THE body crept
nearer and nearer. The rabbit was mo-
tiOnless Its eye was fixed on the pierc-
ing eye Of the snake. Even the waving
Of the wind kissed shrubs about the
rabbit failed To break the spell, and
softly and slowly grim death in snake
form wreathed its folds about the crea-
ture. Then was the spell broken.
To the naturalist who watched the
capture Of the rabbit it appeared az if
the snake had certainly fascinated the
animal AZ a gopher snake il not poi
sonous and has DO we'll developed fangs,
its only means of killing prey is by con
striction. In order to catch an animal it
seems almost necessary for the snake to
fascinate the victim. Washington Post.

FAILURE OF SEEDS.
An Authority on the Subject OF Seed Ger
mination States Some Common Causes.

An Authority on the Subject OF Seed Ger
mination States Some Common Causes.
With each recurring season come nu
merous complaints of the failure of seeds
to germinate. Alfred Bridgeman, the
well known New York horticulturist
and scotsman, briefly states some Of
the causes for these failures il his book
on gardening
First.-Some cultivators through ig
norance or forgetfulness of the fact that
the products of a garden are natives Of
various soils and climates and require
peculiar management, SOW their seeds
at an improper season. The most tender
species should not be placed i'll the open
ground until settled warm weather. The
half hardy are subject to risk If sown
when frost prevails. The early and most
hardy species and varieties should not
be planted until the ground can be
brought into good condition, as some
species of plants that in an advanced
state of growth will stand a hard win
ter are often cut off by very slight
frost while young, especially if exposed
to the heat of the sun after a frosty
night. To guard against disappointment,
reserve some of the seed for later SOW
ing.
Second. Some species Of seed, such
as beans, beets, cabbage, lettuce, rad
ishes, satisfy. turnips, etc, being from
their nature apt to vegetate quickly, are
often liable to be devoured by insects
within 4S hours after they are sown and
before a plant is seen above the ground
unless a suitable remedy il applied in
time to destroy them.
Third. Some species, such as carrots,
celery, leeks. onions, parsley, parsnips,
spinach, ETC., being naturally of tardy
growth, taking, in unfavorable seasons,
from two to four weeks to vegetate, are
apt to perish through incrnstation Of the
soil or other circumstances which can
not always be controlled.
Fourth. Failures often occur through
seeds being deposited too deep in the
ground or left too near the surface,
sometimes for want Of sufficient seed iii
given spot solitary plants perish,
lacking strength to open the pores of
the earth, and very often injudicious
management in manuring and prepar
ing the soil will cause failures
To insure fair chance plant your
seeds moderately thick and thin ont the
surplus plants while Young. In planting
seeds in drills. which is the most desir-
able plan, the size of the seed and
strength Of its germ should be consider
ed. Large seeds producing vigorous
roots require deeper planting than di-
minutive seeds producing delicate roots
and slender stalks. The smallest seeds
should not be covered more than quar-
ter Of an inch.

sWhat shall you answer, win l adviser"
What shall you answer him? Why, Mol
Let him steal kiss-'tis his due-and then,
Give him your hand and let him go.
He is only man amongst other men.
And II you miss him, perchance you may,
One misses flower, shoe, glove,
The working worlds at your feet today,
And works far sweeter than lukewarm
love.
When the right man comes. you will never
doubt,
Won't look puzzled or come to me-
'Tis may go to the right about.
II with that choice, don't agree.
You may tease perhaps may coquet awhile,
Most of us do it, but Love will peep
Through your eyes in sunny smile,
Never were eyes could that secret keep.
Work il you choose for gold or fame,
Tis the workers guerdon, but close inn
pearled
Keep the sacred lamp of true love afame
For him you d single from out the world.
-Womankind.

Stage smoking.

If You ask the heavy villain why he
doesn't smoke cigars on the stage, he
will tell you that no property man,
however important the company may
be, will consent to supply cigars. Gig
arettes are much cheaper, and the stage
villain who delies all traditions and
smokes cigars always does so at his own
expense. And this is rather expensive,
inasmuch as the villain of the drama
usually wears a dress suit, is supposed
to be plentifully supplied with i'll got
ten gains, and only takes two or three
puffs at whatever he is smoking before
throwing it away. Until the property
man volunteers to furnish cigars we
must be content with the cigarette
smoking stage villains. Philadelphia
