There are many girls at the present
moment who perhaps feel themselves
capable of higher things than just the
odds and ends of work which a COM
monplace home life affords. But
is there higher, Or indeed, more diff
ficult work than the patient, bright
fulillment of home duties? There is
scarcely any other sphere of life re-
quiring more earnest principle, more
constant self forgetfulness There is
Especial work awaiting each of us;
there is a spot in this beautiful and
wonderful great garden in which we
live, where we are destined to plant
and tend the flowers, to SOW and rear
fruitful seed. We are led to it when
we are ready for it. Every detail of
the routine of our life is part of our
duty to God, and as such is conse-
Grated thing. Bravely, steadfastly,
we must undertake and carry through
the duties that meet us on our path;
think nothing co mmon Or unworthy,
shrink back from no effort, be ready
to succeed or fail, but work on
through it all. We need not live grand
lives, but good and useful ones, doing
the work which falls to our lot most
faithfully and conscientio usly; for, as
George Eliot tells us, ''the growing
good Of the W orld is partly dependent
on unhistoric acts, and that things are
not SO ill with you and me as they
might have been is half owing to the
numbers who lived faithfully hid
den life.''

OUR FARMERS.
4 MODERN FARM GARDEN.

The essentials of good garden are
a rich soil and sunny location. The
land must be we'll fertilized, deeply
ploughed and thoroughly pulverized.
Too great care cannot be taken in get
ting the soil in the lest condition.
This work can be done with horse
and tools, and requires only few
hours. A small hotbed should be pro-
vided for starting early plants, such
as cabbages, tomatoes, caulifower,
celery, peppers and the like. This is
not difficult of construction or man
agement, and the details have fire.
quently been given. The cost is trif-
ing, as old boards about the farm can
be used making the frame, and dis
carded window sashes used for glass.
Plant everything in the farm garden
that your family is fond of. Plant
everything that can be easily grown,
for if it is not liked at first it will be.
Start tomatoes, cabbages, caulihOWer,
celery and peppers in a het-bed. AS
soon as the ground is in good condi-
ton set out few roots of asparagus.
Then plant few potatoes, carrots,
peas, radishes, onionssete, and when
danger of frost is past two or three
rows of beans. AS soon as the ground
becomes warm and the season ad-
vanced put in seed enough to furnish
a full supply Of peas and beans, and
be sure to plant literally of dwarfed
liman. Plant also carrots, pars nips,
turnips and satisfy. Set out early
cabbages from the hot-bed, and SOW
few rows of late cabbage and cauli-
flower for fall and winter use. Plant
e good supply of sweet corn, cucum-
bers, squashes, providing an abund-
ant supply of winter squashes.
If your ground has been we'll pre-
pared and you have good garden
drill, the seeding of the entire garden
will not take more than a day. If
your rows are long and straight, an
hour or two at a time with horse
and cultivator will do most of the
work of cultivating, and but little
hand hoeing Or wedding will be neces-
Sary.

To wash lace curtains is quite sci

soaked over night in a warm suds with
two tablespoonful of ammonia to the
tub. To make the suds, boil fine soap
until dissolved. and strain into the
water. In the morning press the
folded curtains, two at time, in
clean basket to remove the water,
and drop them into a clean suds pre-
pared like the first. Swash the cur
tains up and down, soaping the spots,
if there are any, but never rubbing

ceedingly thin starch water which has
been blued or tinctured with coffee

ecru color of the lace. If frames are
used the lace is basted to the cloth
upon them when they are stretched
to dry. If not, they are to be pinned,
scallop by scallop, to sheets laid upon
the unoccupied floor of a dustIess
chamber. Should the curtains be very
fine, it is good plan to haste piece
of muslin couple of inches wide,
about the edges, before the curtains
are washed. This keeps them straight.

starching over them piece of lace

LADIES' COLUMN 4.
EDUCATION That EDUCA TES.

We all believe in ''the higher edu-
cation of woman" But this term
does not always, necessarily, imply
the education which will enable wo-
man to take the place in active bust
ness life of husband, father or broth
err. Not to decry or deprecate the
latter, when circumstances point to
the desirability or the necessity of it's
attainment, there is a line of educa-
ton to which we may always and un-
hesitatingly apply the adjective
"higher" without fear that such
designation can be criticized. Wo-
man has a realm distinctively her
own, and in which, as class, her life
work must be done. That which will
better fit her for discharging the
duties which pertain to that realm is
truly ''higher" education, and one
worthy of the most unqualified en-
couragement, the education of a true
home maker.
1t is gratifying to note how gen.
orally educate and sociologists are
coming to recognize the Importance
of Qualifying women to become the
makers of happy and successful
homes. They recognize the made
quacy of the method-which may be
called the traditional one-descend-
ing from mother to daughter, but
very often broken in the descent, and
very frequently, if not even general
ly, narrow and incomplete at the
best. AS a result, we not only find
existing educational institutions
adopting courses in domestic science
and similar branches of social econ
omy, but in numerous sections of our
country we'll equipped "schools" I'M
der various names have been organ
lied for carrying forward exclusively
this work of practical moment. Vary
ing more or less in scope and detail,
these institutions have common
object and a central idea-they are
worthy the liberal patronage and the
general appreciation which is crafty

POTATO PRACTICE.

About fifteen years ago [ began the
practice of planting potatoes deep,
getting the idea from Mr.. E. S. Car
men of the "Rural NeaU Yorker"
have planted deep since that time and
have uniformity had good crop, ex-
cepting one year when blighted, and
one when potatoes rotted. My prac-
tice is to manure, and plough it in,
giving the land a good puIverizlng
after the ploughing. A good furrow
with two horse plough is made for the
rows; 800 pounds of fertilizer is
dropped in the rows with the corn
planter, and the potatoes are dropped
by hand about ten inches apart, and
they are covered with two horse
hoe. In few days the weeder is run
over the piece and this is continued
at least once a week until the pota
toes are about four inches high. With
this process weeds are an unknown
quantity, and before they can start
again the cultivator goes between the
rows, and in few days the horse hoe
does the killing. The hand hoe is not
needed, and the cost of raising pota-
toes is reduced to minimum. The OBJ
lection to hard digging from deep
planting has no foundation in fact.
because the potato root grows toward
the surface of the soil, instead of in
the opposite direction. The phiIoso-
ply of the deep planting is to secure
more even supply of the needed
moisture for the plant. The deep
planting to reach the source of moist
ure and the thorough cultivation to
conserve this moisture, are pretty
sure to give good crop of potatoes
every year. With large fields plant
er, and possibly digger, are essen
tial for success, by lessening the cost
of production.

Cows on the American farm were

FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The Growth and Development Of the
Sea Traffic Of the Port Of
New Orleans.
Interesting Data showing That the
Volume of the Ports Commerce
Is Much Greater Than the
Statistics of yalua-
tlon show.

In commenting upon the trade OF the
various ports OF the country, II is Gus
tOmdry for many journals to claim that
the sea traffic of New Orleans has not
dayc:opcd for years past. This oplns1n
is based upon the fact that In even the
best years the aggregate value OF the
foreign trade through this port does not
exceed records formerly established. of
course the fluctuations from year to year
are frequent and wide, due to crop short
ages or other economic causes, but the
general total Of value Increases but slow
ly from decade to decade.
This showing OF foreign commerce Is
deceptive In several ways. In the first
place. the value is scarcely safe crl-
terion by which to judge trade move
ating as price. safer measure Is the
volume Of traffic by weight. In the sec
ond place, statist!cians, even the govern
ment officials, fail to give sufficient i'm

as large as is It's foreign trade.
While the government reports OF value

dcate a con,pa ratively slow growth, the
statistics II tonnage show very con
siderable gain In the traffic. Thus, while
the statistics show but moderate
gain in the total value of for
risn commerce handled through New Or
leans during the past fifteen years, the

this port has much more than doubled
