MISS JEAN INGELoW.

Oh, Fond Dove!" tale of sailors love,
and "Mopsa, the Fairy" were widely
sung and fingered long before the pub
lie. Much Of her work was supposed
to be autobiographical, in which con-
nection it was for long time thought
that her name, "Jean Ingelow,"
which she candidly signed to her work,
was a nom de plume and many people
were set by the ears TO discover the
real identity of the author, in many
cases it taking them longer than if she
really had in the first place signed n
pseudonym.
In her youth it was said that the
poetFess WAS not regarded as an infant
phenomenon and that nothing was cs-
pecially noticeable about her except
her tilnid demeanor and prediction
for wandering off along the coast,
where she loved to sit in loneliness and
watch the sea.
At her death Miss Ingelow was II
years old and was living in little cot
tage at Kensington, where, with her
brother, who had remained a bachelor
all his life, she passed her days sur
rounded by the beautiful greenery-
screened gardens attached to the lodge
and in which. 1t was said, it was her
greatest pleasure to roam. The cons
servatory is said to be as large again
as the little cottage, and her fayorite
amusement was to wander through the
sweet-scented aisles Of this and watch
her little pet birds at play.
Of late years she had passed from
public mind and moi many recalled the
sensation her early work created.

bound together with large pearls and
wreathed with leaves and flowers.
Around the edge of the cover there is a
broader wreath; corner sprigs in gold
thread are thichly interspersed with
spangles and gold leaves.
This antique work has been revived of
late, and some of the modern en-
broidered book covers are really beau
tiful. They can be made up at any
bookbinding establishment.
The design given is for prayer-book,
and is combination of white faille,
black velvet and gold. The cross of
black velvet has the edges covered in re-
lief with gold bullion, and is applied on
the white faille, over which the sides
and corners of the black velvet are laid,
the edges being all covered by the
heavy bullion embroidery. The wheat
and the passion flowers are in silver.

SWEET JEAN INGELOW.
As an Authorizes She Ranked as the
Peer of Mrs. Browning.

AS an Autaoress She Ranked as the
Peer of Mrs. Browning.
Miss Jean Ingelow, the distinguished
poet and novelist, died in London re-
Gently, in her seventy-seventh year.
Jean Ingelow was more widely
known as poet than as novelist. Her
first work appeared in 1888 and imme-
diately created a furore in the literary
world, being ranked by many critics
Of the day above Longfellow's and Ten
nyson's work.
She was matured woman at the
time, being above SO years old, and it
was noted that all her poems had
quaint, tender note of sadness i'll them,
which Immediately raised the belief
that she had been disappointed in love
in her youth. However, whether the
tender passion ever held sway within
her heart was never known and by
some was never believed. They en-
planned that it was not love which die
tated the strain of sadness found
throughout her work, but the many
years of her childhood spent in the
quiet, Unconditional life of the Boston
home off the Lincolnshire coast. A
ballad, which was published early in
her career and which fascinated the
literati of the time with it's bizarre
meter and gentle tactful impulsiveness
of description, was "High-Tide OFF the
Coast of Lincolnshire" And this
sounded the keynote to her character.
In 1887 she published a second vol
ume of poems, after which they came
at irregular periods, but always were
sought for with avidity by publishers.
Miss Ingelow was regarded as the peer
of Mrs. Browning, her fame resting
alone upon her poems. Her work as
novelist attracted not so much at
tention. despite the fact that the pub
lication of her first novel, "Off the
Skelligs." was eagerly awaited.
During later years her verse was
kept afloat and before the public by
magazines and exchanges the world
over. 1t was not an uncommon thing
to find an occasional one of her early
efforts reprinted in any of the metro
politan dailies. And great deal of her
work found it's way into the curriculum
OF the schools, where it was regarded
as classical.

Log Messages On Flowers.

South American lovers have pretts
custom. 1t is well known that when the
petals of the great laurel magnolia are
touched, however lightly, the result is
brown spot. which develops in few
hours. The fact is taken advantage of
by the lover who pulls magnolia
flower, and on one of its pure white
petals write a motto or message with
a hard. sharp-pointed pencil. Then he
sends the flower, the young lady puts il
in vase of water, and in three or four
hours the message written on the leaf
becomes quite visible and remains so.

In days of old, when books were lit

cases of their precious treasures were
worthy the contents. deliberately
carved ivory, gold and silver plate,
studded with jewels, and equally beau

broidery on velvet and satin, were all
used as covers.
In the time of Queen Elizabeth the

TEACH THEM EARLY.
Children ShcU4G Be Made to Under
stand the Value of Money.

One of the most serious problems
that meets us in life is that of the
proper use of money. Profess inlif-
ference to it as we may, it is the great
factor in human existence, without
which, at the present day, nothing can
go on.
1t seems curious that, in the face of
social matters as we find them, no more
attention is paid to teaching children
the value of money. How much misery
would be saved were this little precau-
ton taken! A father dies. and sudden
ly family accustomed to live at the
rate of thousand a year, discovers
that there is little or nothing left for
them.
If the boys and girls are so FORUM
ate as to procure positions thai bring IN
a living income, how difficult 10 they
find it to live on the amount, simply
because they have never been taught
the value of quarter, They have
had the use of an allowance as chill
dren, but 10 idea of it's expenditure
las ever been given them. When they
ran short and required more than they
had fer some coveted pleasure they
supplied the deficiency by borrow ing
Of a more careful relative, promising
to pay on next allo@ance Gay, thus es-
tah!ishing a bad precedent.
Children should not be taught to be
niggardly. but if n sufficient income is
allowed them, they should be taught
to make it sufficient. They should be
taught to reflect before spending their
money, SO that it may not all go for
tatfy the first week, leaving long
blank of days when the glories of mar
bles, kites and ether toys brighten in
proportion to the impossibility to OBJ
tain them unless some ebliging relative
makes q loan,
a girl should know the proper use of
her income as well as should boy, and
Il boy should be taught to scorn as I'M
manly and unworthy "a squire of
dames," borrowing for his own amuse-
ments money which his more careful
sister has saved. To do otherwise, is
to permit him q selhshness which may
develop into earelessness of the feel
;nge of others particularly the women
of his family, be it wife, mother or sis
ter), so long as his own wants are sup
piled.
Money and its handling is the key
note ts'the human character; therefore
to its spending should mere serious
thought be given than has hitherto
been universally considered necessary.

The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread in oiled paper when it is taken
from the oven and sealing the knot Of
the string holding the paper, as is done
in few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and hand
ling as well as the possibility or baeiili,
and the paper prevents the moisture in
the bread from escaping and keeps the
bread fresh.
