Married Women Can Find Time If
They Will.

When l hear a married woman lament
the lack of wide opportunities in her life
l find myself wondering. in kind of
daze, what she means. If inquire par
ticularly, I usually discover that by lack
of opportunities she means either the
time for study and self cultivation which
she deeply desires, or else an opportunity
for public activity and recognition. Well,
both of these are good in their proper
places, and there are few wives who will
not be able to find some hours in the
week to give to either one or the other.
| suspect that in the case of those women
who say they actually do not get time
for study or music, or for an occasional
club meeting, the trouble lies in the fact
that they do not want to enough. For
be sure of this, that in the long run a
man or a woman usually finds time in
to do most A woman may desire the
opportunity for self-culture and growth,
but if she in her heart really prefers an
hour of neighborhood gossip, or a piece
of drawn linen for her luncheon table,
or a vulgar profusion in the menu she
offers her guests, she will have these and
not the study. II. on the other hand
the intellectual Quickening that comes
from communion with big and earnest
minds be the one thing in life that she
feels she must have, be sure that in some
degree she will have it--not enough of it,
possibly, to satisfy her, but enough to
make her life richer, because she will
make her living less complex in order
that she may have it.-Woman's Home
Companion.

Need Solitude and Quiet.

The need of solitude is beginning to be
recognized by those who note the fright
full waste Of force that results from in
cesant companionship, and wise was the
woman who, addressing graduating
class of girls lately, recommended that
each Of the young women who pursued
the calling of teacher should have a room
to herself
All women and girls-and for that mat
ter. men also-who are engaged in oc.:,..
patlons that tax the mental powers,
should be able to command solitude and
quiet for their leisure hours, and herein
lies a sharp contrast between the posi-
bilities Of the comfortably circumstanced
and the rich, on the one side, and the
poor OH the other-the attainment of pri-
vacy. says Vogue. TO shut not only the
world. but ones friends and ones family
out for time every day is to save much
foolish wear and tear of the nervous
system, and to stave off growing old.

WATERING FLYING ENGINES.
Four Thousand Gallons Taken in
While the Train is in Motion.

|, Among the remarkable features of
modern railway travel the one that al
ways attracts attention is the trick of
taking water by the engine while it is in
motion. The American tourist has be-
come accustomed to seeing the narrow
trough, 1900 to 400 feet long, at various
dead level points along the road, and he
knows that the strip of water which it
contains is scooped up by the engine as
it speeds over the tracks. But people
from foreign countries often ask Ques-
tons about the water between the tracks,
and marvel when they hear the story
about "drinking' the engine ON the fly.
What seems marvellous mechanical
contrivancc is an extremely simple thing.
tender 1t is C shaped. with the top end
pointing i'll to the water tank and the
bottom curled under the body of the ten
der. BY series of levers this end may
be dropped juntil it reaches the level of
the ties. When the engine reaches the
trough the fireman drops the scoop end,
which is 80 inches high and - inches
wide, into the trough into which it sinks
a distance of about six inches, or within
an inch of the bottom. 1t may wabble
slightly without doing any harm, be-
cause the trough is - inches wide.
Dropping the end is all that is done, for
the motion of the engine does the rest.
The water rushes into the pipe and
thence into the tank with rush and
force which suggests to the uninitiated
the use of powerful engines.
1.-THE most remarkable thing about the
water-taking SCOOP said New York
Central railroad official, lis the fact that
the speed of the train must be reduced
when the wafer is taken on. 1t reaches
the bends in the pipe with such force
that if the train were allowed to go at
it's regular speed the metal would be Sc
riously strained, so we reduce the speed
to about thirty miles an hour and have
the best results"
While the engine is passing over the
trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour
it takes up about 1000 gallons of water
about as much as would be contained in
100 spirit barrels.-New York Tribune.

a Green Rose

In the spacious and shady garden of =
relative, not far from Meopham. 7 have
seen this week bush of green roses
The buds and blossoms. be it understood
were not merely greenish, nor striped or
varlegated with green, but perfect green
roses in shape and make, with calyx
corolla, petals-everything, all alikc-of
bright, vivid color, exactly resembling
that. Of the ordinary green leaf of the
rosebush. Some of the blooms were of
the ordinary size. and fashioned like n
tea rose, or small Gloire de Dion, and
many among them were most SYMMETRY
cally formed and finished. Perhaps, since
| have the honor of the friendship of the
Dean of Rochester, and know his most
delightful books about roses, l ought not
to have been so astonished at a green
rose. Dean Hole is sure to have written
something wise and learned about this
particular vagary of nature, which may
have forgotten, but certainly, the great,
bold rosebush at Meopham, with it's score
or more of grass green flowers, was at
the time a true surprise. There exhaled
faint perfume of briar from these emer-
ald-colored monstrosities-but what could
possibly induce the queen of the garden
thus to abdicate her lovely colors and
splendid traditions and look like tuft
of grass or button of St. Johns wort :?
After that bush, l, at least, am quite
prepared to hear of blue roses and black
roses without incredulity.-Sir Edwin Ar
mold in the London Telegraph.

there was grandpapa leaning on his hoe

Of bread and milk, they took grandma by

But just as they came to the porch, who
should strut across it but Flippy and her
cheeping brood! And behind her
stretched path of three toed tracks, all
dotted over with thirty or forty bdb3

Servants Are Often Suobs,

Although our mult-millionaires them
selves are, as rule, particularly modest
and unassuming, especially while on their
travels, their servants have not the same
reticence, and it is amusing to see the
airs that the footmen and maids assume,
who feel the reflected consequence of
their employers:

marked young woman laughingly the
other day. She fairly bristes with i'm
portance. l crossed with them on the
steamer not long ago. and the contrast
was most amusing. The former never
made complaint, and the latter was
never satisfied. She seemed to think that
the established rules of the ship in re-
gard to children might be all very we'll
for ordinary people, but that her little
charges should have special privileges.
The captain, who had a great sense of
humor, rather encouraged the old lady,
just to draw her out. and one day he
came to me and said, What do YOU
think is her latest demand? Last night,
you know, there was heavy fog on,

deck and told my head officer she wanted

A Star Fancy for a Child.

star. anCy for Il Child.
When summer nights are warm and dry,
The Scorpion, with his flaming eye,
Down in the south as twilight grows
Watches the lily and the rose.
He sees the peoples and the stocks,
The sunfiOwers and the hOllyhockS;
Though all the trees are thick and green,
With his red eye he looks between.
But when the nights begin to freeze
East ward behind the naked trees
Orion lifts his head to spy
Those stars that in the garden lie.
The Scorpion told him how they grew,
Purple and pink and white and blue;
So night by night Orion goes
TO find the lily and the rose
Night after night you see his stride
Across the south at ChriStmaStide:
Though all the fields are white with snow
He watches for those stars to blow.
But when it's near his time to rest,
Leaning his head toward the west,
When April nights sharp and clear,
He sees those garden stars appear
For just before he sinks from sight
He sees the borders strown with light,
And looking back across the hills
Beholds the shining daffodils.

The Spectator.
