Fear i'm Animals.

rom Our Animal Friends
Back in prehistoric times our ancestors
probably knew fear a constant feeling
They fought to defend their lives and
homes from one another. With the begin
ming of agriculture and the demonstration
of animals, fighting ceased to be the chief
object of existence. gentler feelings had a
chance to grow, and fear was not so COM
mon a state of mind. But We are not in
the condition of savage tribes. We do not
live in fear ourselves, and We understand
that the animals We have domesticated
must be treated with uniform kindness
The horse is exceedingly nervous; while
cattle do not appear so nervous. any dairy
man Will tell You that the utmost gentle
ness is necessary in caring for them. We
can reason away most of our fears; neither
the wild nor tbs domestic animals can do
so much. The one way to teach an animal
to conquer fear is to let him feel that he
may trust us. 1t as the true and only way;
for it leads TO love-and perfect love cast
eth out fear"

Easter Lilies.
Few people gazing with admiration upon
the display Of Easter lilies in the florists
windows realize that to possess one or more
such beauties is within the grasp of every
one, with very small outlay Of money
and time. The Easter lily now so-called is
the Bermuda lilium harrisii
Bulbs may be had at prices running from
ten cents upward. A very good size may
be had for fifteen or twenty-five cents. An
ordinary flower pot, the size suited to the
size of the bulb, allowing two inches space
at the side, gooa rich garden soil, and
two-inch layer of cinders at the bottom
that is all that is required to begin with.
Plant the bulb about two inches deep,
water well and start in a dark. cool place
as you do other bulbs. When it begins to
grow, give it a good, permanent place,
where 1t will not be subjected to sudden
changes of temperature, and do not let it
dry out. That is ALL Surely no one need
to cast longing eyes at the florists win
dows when little effort will produce just
as fine results.

Both the hyacinth and narcissus may be
quickly and easily raised in water. For
the former procure the glasses that are
sold for the purpose. Fill with soft water,
putting little charcoal in the bottom to
keep 1t sweet. Choose fine solid bulbs and
set them SO that the water barely touches
the bottom. Add water as needed but do
not change 1t unless 1t becomes foul. Keep
the glasses in dark closet, or even in
the sideboard until the white thread-like
roots nearly fill the glass. Then bring to
the light. Every one knows the Chinese
