JOINTS FOR THE GARDENER.

Don't crowd your seeds. Plant them
one at time if large enough TO handle
individually. and you will get twice as
many seedlings.
Don't forget to spray your seed boxes
regularly. Lack of care in watering
is productive of more failures in flower
raising than any other one cause.
Don't plant two kinds of seed in one
box unless their habits and time of
termination are the same. Growing
plantlets require more water thon
terminating seeds.
Don't fail to label your seed boxes and
to indicate where the rows are planted.
so that you will know whether weeds
or flowers are coming up.
Don't let the temperature get be-
low 40 degrees in the room where you
keep your seed boxes. Seeds grow best
in room in which the temperature is
kept moist and at AIN even temperature
of about 70 degrees.
Don't place your seed boxes in the di-
rect sunlight until the seeds have
sprouted. Keep them in light situa-
ton, however. Heat is more essential
than light to seeds; light is essential to
the development of rlantlcts. The
young. plant is, however. as tender as
an infant, and must not be rudely ex-
posed to the glare of hot sun all day.
Watch carefully for dropping leaves.

GOLFERS WEEKLY.

OF all weekly papers there must be one which
is the best; GOLFERS WEEKLY is that one.
1t is made by combination of the greatest
writers and the greatest artists in the world, who
are regular contributors to its pages and each of
whom occupies page every week.
Mayo W. Hazeltine writes the Editorials. There
Is no living man who sees clearer thinks straight
er, and can convey thought with such cogency
and charm as he.
Edgar Saltus writes " Our Note Book" The
wide scope and brilliant quality of this famous
writer's mind peculiarly fit him for this function.
Julian Hawthorne does our ''VitaScope" These
papers add week by week to the wealth of u rep
utation already worldwide.
Last. but not least, Edgar Eawcett, in his Men,
Manners and Moods" finds himself at his best
and that best is unsurpassed by any contemporary
author. His social philosophy, his satire his
humor and his poetry constitute him the fayorite
writer of men and women of the would.
As for our Artlsts-words cannot describe pic
lures, and these drawings will speak for them
selves. So bright galaxy of famous names as
we expect TO present never before shone together

REMEDY FOR GROUP.
First of All, Place the Sufferer In an
Upright Position.

Upright Position.
This is q disease of childhood, al
though we sometimes meet attacks in
grown-up people.
There are two forms of this trouble.
the membraneous Group and the SPAS
modic Group.
The membraneous Group is a very
fatal disease, causing many deaths. In
some ways it resembles diphtheria, and
like this disease, it requires the best
medical skill.
The spasmodic or common form OF
Group may be treated ntelligently at
home, unless the attack lasts too long
or occurs too frequently. when physi-
clan should be consulted.
In this form of Group there is a swell
ing and inflammation of the CLOTHS,
which is that part of the throat where
the voice is produced by the air passing
through the vocal cords, or another
form may be the result of a nervous
contraction of the muscles of the throat.
1t usually occurs at night. The child
awakens out of a sound sleep gasping
and choking, and the difficulty Of
breathing is often distressing to wit
ness. The mother or nurse must retain
her presence of mind, and while acting
promptly will try and quiet the chile's
fears.
Keep the child in an upright or sit
ting posture, and loosen all bands
around the throat or body; put cold
compress around the throat-the colder

break the spasm of the CLOTHS muscles;
never mind if the child screams; pin it
snugly on, and over it put a dry towel:
after short time you will see the
breathing gradually become easier. the
struggles cease, the face become more
natural color, and he child being some
what exhausted from its fight for
breath, will gradually drop into gentle
sleep. Giving the child anything to
swallow during the spasm will only
make matters worse, as it will interfere
with the breathing and brighten the
child more. Children that are predis
posed to this trouble should be taught
to breathe through the nose, if they are
old enough. They should be warmly
clothed during cold weather, wearing
flannel underclothing. Their general
health should be built up by giving
them nourishing food, plenty of milk
and by daily baths of tepid water, in
which sea salt has been dissolved,
enough to make the water taste strong
ly of it. A dessertspoonful of cod liver
oil may be given three times a day
The child should also have all the sun.
shine and fresh air it can get without
taking cold.
The cough syrups usually put up arc
of little use and will often nauseate.
Generally, with good hygiene and
good nursing the child outgrows the
predisposition to it altogether.-Louise
Lannon, NJ. D., in N. Y. journal.

AN OUTLINE QUILT.
New Design That Is Sure to Be Ad-
mircd When Neatly Made.

New Design That Is Sure to BE Ad.
mircd When Neatly Made.
A particularly handsome quilt was
recently made by the women of lead
ing church society in one of our large
cities, and met with so hearty an ap-
proval, and was so greatly admired,
that large number were finished and
sold at SIP each. The blocks were Of
Lonsdale cambria. In some of the
quilts nine blocks were used, and in
Others rs. The blocks were longer than
wide, and their size was calculated ac.
cording to the size of the bed, whether
single, double or three-quarters size.
For n double bed of ordinary width,
lin which nine blocks are used, each
block should be stamped with de-
sign to be outlined. Some may be of
figures, some of flowers, and others in
conventional patterns, but all are to be
of bold, open pattern, which will
prove much more effective when made
up than q fine or intrinsic pattern
would. Four of these patterns should
be alike, and these four used for the
corner blocks. The designs are next
outlined in some delicate color, pale
pink, pale blue or yellow, but all the
outlining is done with one shade. Wash
silk or linen is used, as preferred, the
linen, of course, proving less expen'
isive than the silk.
The blocks are next laundered and
carefully pressed. They are now ready
to be set together, and for this purpose

suffering from any form of female
weakness are requested to lay your
case before Mrs. Pinkham. Perhaps
you cannot afford to pay the large fee
of q local physician and then run the
chances of not receiving benefit from
their treatment. Then again it is en-
barrassing to relate your private
troubles in detail to male physician
Mrs. Finkhain asks you to remember
that her advice and help will cost
you nothing. We ask You to remem-
Der the great volume of experience
she has to draw from; no physician
living has ever treated so my cases
of female ills as has Mrs. Pinkham,
and from this vast experience surely it
is more than possible she has gained
the very knowledge that will help your
case-anyway, you should give your
self the benefit of the chance.

AS DONE IN OLD MEXICO.

| Everyone is required by law to keep
n bowl Of water in the entry way of
| his house for the convenience of dogs,
so that they will not go mad from
thirst.
The waiter will give you a complete
change of plate, knife and fork with

tables, and the style is to eat but one
thing at "a time.
Very few horses are used except in
carriages. The little mules pull and
carry immense loads. But two-wheeled
rarts are used almost exclusively for
sli kinds OF drayage.

graced to be seen carrying two-pound

| Fires are almost unknown. Cooking

made of masonry, and as the houses are

and have no chimneys, there is little
chance for CONGREGATIONS.
Gentlemen rarely drive, and Mexican
ladies never do. If they do not have
their own carriage and coachman they
hire cabs. There are very few rigs,
even in the City of Mexico, that can be
hired without a driver.
Aside from fresh fruits, which are
always served abundantly, dessert is al
most unknown on the average home or
hotel table. A dulce. or simple sweet
of some kind, is served at the end of the
meal, but it rarely consists of more than
very small portion of preserved fruit
or one little tart about the size of a
dollar.-Modern Mexico.

PIANO DECORATION.
Nowadays No Instrument Is Placed
AGAINST the Wall.

Nowadays No Instrument Is Placed
Against the Wall.
The piano is now usually considered
one of the most effective and artistic
pieces of furniture in the drawing
room; let us hope the times have gone
forever when it was placed firmly
of wax flowers in the center, fianked
by solid looking books on either side.
IL may be placed across IL corner or be
standing out into the room according
to the taste and pleasure of its owner.
If placed cornerwse it will require no
drapery at the back, and landscape
painted on the wall, but it III ust be re-
membered that piano, cutting off one
of the corners in this way, will dctract
from the apparent size of the room.
The plan most in vogue at the present
day is to place it out in the room with
u clear space right around it, and then
the question arises how to make the
decidedly ugly back of the piano show
30 advantage under it's changed condi-
tions. This may be brought about in
various ways. A piece of canvas may
be fastened on to the back and land.
scape painted on it, or a study of flow
,ers. This must be prettily draped with
silk, edged with handsome fringe, the
silk being arranged in graceful curves
at the top of the piano and down the
side, where it may be caught in with
a silk cord and tassel; the color of the
silk will naturally be decided by the
prevailing tones of the room. Some
people, however, do not care for paint
,ings on piano backs, but prefer 10 have
them entirely covered with drapery.
This may be managed by mailing Il
light strip of wood to each end and
lin the center of the woodwork at the
top of the piano; this holds the weight
iof the drapery, which is fastened to it
with tiny tin tacks. Oriental staffs
and embroderies look very handsome
utilized in this manner; and still more
beautiful effect may be obtained By
isewing numberless tiny seqnins on the
material, causing it to glitter and
sparkle in the fire or lamp light. Plush
and velvet are also often used as drape.
'ries, and make most beautiful ones;
soft silk is equally satisfactory. Small
lnick-knacks and ornaments should
not find resting place on the top Of
the piano, neither should books be
placed on it, or anything that will jingle
when the instrument is in use. A small
silver lamp looks well in the center
and throws down a good light on the
music, and photograph or view may
be placed on each side. A pretty cover
should be made for the top to save it
from unnecessary scratching. The
keys must always be kept white and
polished and never allowed to become
yellow-Chicago Tribune.

ORIGIN OF PHRASES.

"Adieu" means ito God | commend
you," and the familiar ''good-by" is a
contraction of God be with you"
Just the cheese" is of original orig
in and comes from the Hindoostanee
word "cheez," meaning thing.
The phrase mind your P's and Q's"
comes from the printing Office and "is
due to the similarity in form of the
lower case or small p and q in for:
of Roman letter, leading Il novice to
mix thea when distributing type into
the cases"
\ "toad-eater" is one who does the
most nauscous things to please his pa
trons-as in olden times the mounte-
banks boys used to cat toads in orde:
to show the skill of their masters in
expelling poison.
ITO sleep like a top" is one of the
phrases which seem at first considera-
ton absolutely unmeaning. 1t is
corruption of the French proverb dor
mir CONNIE une taupe"-to sleep like
q Jrole.
