Doctors for Ailinr Plants.

A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view urges the need of new class of
educated physicians whose business
shall be the care and cure of disease
threatened and disease-stricken plants.
'The time will come" he says, when
every agricultural district will have
its plant DOCTOR" He even foresees
the development of specialties by plant
doctors just as by other physicians, so
that in many difficult and obscure
cases of disease affecting valuable
plants, the services of such specialists
will be employed. The foundation of
schools of practical plant pathology is
urged as a matter of national import
ance.

Ehe walks in beauty like the night
OF cloudless clmes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright

Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day Denies
One shade the more one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress.
Or softly lightens DER her face
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear, their dwelling

So soft. so calm, yet eloquent.

CMaurice F. Egan, in Songs and Son
''Yield. up, Q love, thy crown and hearted

He walks in vain by yonder garden gate,
Where hollyhocks and tall carnations
rise,
Sweet marjoram and blooms that linger
late,
And ali the scented herds that house
wives prize.
A late rose throws soft kisses to the
breeze,
On petals sunrise-hued, like his loves
He hears childs voice in the apple trees;
He starts. All, no; it is not she that
speaks.
Gone! Lost! Her voice must ever be
afar-
Those tones that made his fond heart

Twas not voice as other voices are,
For blithesome hope and love were in

sickness or death threatened; all this

COLLEGE GIRL AND
COLLEGE WOMAN
Intellectual Training is Valuable as
1t Helps in the Trivial Cares and
Crosses of Daily Life.

The college woman is not an over
educated being whose mind has been
crammed at the expense of her body;
she is an all-around person, whose de-
velopment has enabled her to grasp
opportunities to fill responsible situa-
tions, and to do her duty in society and
the home.
One can nowhere else find such speci-
mems of girlhood at its beautiful best as
in our colleges The graduates of this
summer are neither deficient in physical
training nor Indifferent to domesticity
They are splendidly vital set of young
women, athletic, vigorous and bloom
ing; they have good appetites, good
digestion and firm muscles; they know
how to stand, to sit, to walk and to
breathe, as wei las how to study They
are women who have been finely equip
ped by exercise in the gymnasiums and
in the open air, and are quite ready for
the next step in life, whatever it may
be.
Their work in mathematics and Ian
auages, in history and bellies lettres, has
not disqualified them for presiding in a
good mans home as his wife and the
mother of his children, while it has by
it's thorough mental discipline fitted

The disconnected woman lives in open
rebellion with God. He has a certain
niche in life for each human being
whom He creates to fill. Do His crea-
lures know better than He the path
that is fittest for their feet to travel?
"A contented mind is indeed contin-
ual feast"-and there is a world of
truth, too, in the words:
Sour discomfort that quarrels with our
fate
May give fresh smart, but not the old
abate;
The uneasy passions disingenuous wit
The i'll reveals, but hides the benefit
If the chance of birth has given you
as your portion poverty instead of
wealth, of luxurious idleness, do not
rail at fate, but accept the situation
with CHEEKY. heart, firm in the faith
that God will better your situation if
He finds you worthy of advancement
They who have so little knowledge
of human nature as to seek happiness
by changing anything but their own
dispositions will waste their lives in
fruitless efforts and multiply the causes
for discomfort.

LITTLE HINTS FOR
HoME-MAKERS

The Five O'clock Tea.-In furnishing
the 5 o'clock tea table whether tea or
chocolate is served, each cup should be
different in design and colOring. Among
the odd dishes for the table a dish for
mayonnaise dressing is not to be de-
spised. 1t is of German ware, and both
in cOloring and shape resembles a large
tomato.
In this same ware is a huge orange
for holding marmalade or pelly. BO-
hemian glass is much used for finger
bowls, claret jug and punch cups. When
gilded and jeweled it is most effective.
Dish of New Potatoes.-Peel, wash
and boil one quart potatoes with one
quart water, add one tablespoonful salt
When done drain off the water, return
the saucepan with potatoes to the fire
again, cover and let them remain two
minutes, then shake them up, put them
into a hot dish and pour over the fol
lowing sauce: place a saucepan with
one tablespoonful butter over the fire,
add one-half tablespoonful flour. stir
and cook few minutes, add half a pint
of milk, cook three minutes, add one
tablespoonful fine chopped parsley,
pour the sauce over the potatoes and
| serve.
New Hint on Packing.-Here is some
thing for the woman who is packing
away winter f1annels and furs to re-
member. She may envelop her belong
ings in all the evil smelling concoctions
| of drug shop and put them away in
| the air tight gloom of cedar chests, but
| if the eggs of the moth are already in
| the garments, their doom is sure. Be
fore wooden garment is put away, it
should be quickly pressed with hot
iron. Heat will destroy the egg. Then
the odoriferous moth ball and the pen
etrating camphor will do their work of
keeping out more moths.
Clam la Tobasco.-Chop one dozen
| CLAIMS fine and stir them for five min
utes over a slow flame in one cupful of
clam liquor and one tablespoonful of
| butter. Add the juice of half lemon,
| some salt and pepper and few drops
| of tobasco sauce and sprig of chopped
parsley. Serve on toasted crackers.

DISCONTINUED WOMEN.
BY LAURA JEAN LIBBEY.

OF all women who have woes, real or

their own troubles, and nurse them
much. more zealously than the blessings
that strew their paths.
