Teddy's Nap.

Teddy was out in the back yard
digging well with an old iron spoon
He had on his grandpas straw hat.
which, of course, kept falling down
over his eyes.
Teddy" called grandma, cit is too
hot for you to stay out any longer;
you must come in now
1t was time for Teddy's nap, but she
didn't say so.
Il amt Teddy" said the little boy;
Use grandpa, and Use diggin' we'll.
My bossy-cow is all tarvin' to deaf
for water, so Use got to dig it."
But grandpa comes in to rest when
the sun is very hot, you know" said
grandma. you may go out to work
again when it is cooler, just as grand
pa does"
Grandma bathed the hot little face,
and took off his dress and his shoes
and stockings, SO that his neck and
his arms, and his little pink feet
might cool off.
Grandpa lies on the lounge to rest,
you know, Teddy" said grandma.
But | don't want to take a nap.'
said Teddy.
Nor does grandpa; you see, he just
hes down and reads the paper, and
II ne gets sleepy he goes to sleep;
that's the way he does"
All wight" said Teddy, selling a
newspaper and climbing on the
lounge. But l want some grasses,
grandma, l can't see to read wivout
grasses, you know"
Grandma found some eyeglass bows
with no glasses in them; and Teddy
held them astride his nose with ane
hand.
Mus read to you, grandma?" he
asked.
IF you please, sir; I'd like to hear
the news"
The news is-er-er," staring at
the upside-down paper, and seeing the
picture of boat; there's a awful
storm and the boats all turned over,
and the peoples all drownded dead!"
You don't say SOL" cried grandma.
And there's war;" continued the
little reader, "and the men wiz guns
shooted some uvver men, and-and"
Here the little fellow began to yawn
He stared hard at the paper, but his
eyes would close; then down dropped
the grasses" and Teddy was fast
asleep

Co-opera ton Is Coming.

Not till we reach the golden age of
cooperative housekeeping may we ex-
pect to find the high virtues of cleanli-
ness, order and scientific knowledge
embodied in our cooks; so we might as
we'll lower our expectations and take
the needless strain from our tired
nerves.
Marriage is declared failure, chief
,ly because man expects mere woman
to exhibit the projections of an angel,
and woman expects mere man to live
on the lofty plane of demi-god.
Blessed are the bride and groom
who do not expect too much of each
other. Their way is not likely to lead
to the divorce court, and it may branch
out in the direction of the kingdom of
heaven.
But what is to become Of all our
high ideals, and all our high hopes

Well, II we must have these, let us
have them for ourselves alone. Exer-

people, but hold up the highest pos
sible standard for our precious selves.
We shall be perfectly safe in doing
this, for We are not likely to grow

CASH OR ACCOUNTS.

The question of cash or accounts is
one that is debatable in the mind of the
modern woman, particularly the city,
woman. Distances in large city are
so inexorablee that the conveniences or
mail or telephone shopping is very
tempting. 1t is possible nowadays, in
deed, to take advantage of bargain
counter attractions at long range.
Many women, knowing their shops
we'll, will unhesitatingly telephone for
a marked down article on opening the
morning paper to find it advertised,
some shoppers holding an account at
different stores for no other purpose.
Sometimes, indeed, these purchases
can be sent G. o. D., but often they
cannot.
In the matter of exchanges. too, the
charge customer has an advantage In
the ease and celebrity with which she
can manage these transactions.
Against, however, this saving of time
and strength and of opportunity must
be set the objection, obviously impor-
tant, of temptation to extravaganza,
says Harper's Bazaar. When an article
is to be charged it seems much easier
to make the purchase. One Of the
phrases common among women hest
tating at this point: ct will only need
little larger check, and a few dollars
one way or the other will make no diff
ference" and it rarely fails to tip the
scale in favor of the purchase, yet it
is just here that the danger of an ac-
count lies in the establishment of mod
crate means, and the woman who finds
herself slipping along this, easy, dan
gerous road can find safety only in
stern repression, or to permit the ac-
count to lapse. An every day balanc-
ing Of accounts is a wonderful safe
guard for housekeeeper, and seldom
occurs with the woman who charges
things.

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN.
Many Groups Deserve Greater Attention
Than They r ,coivo.

Many Groups Deserve Greater Attention
Than They r ,ceive.
Among the most popular flowers of
to-day are the lovely peonies in va,
ried tints of rose, pale crimson and
purple. The petals Of some varieties
are as large as saucers, and being OF
satiny texture, and dropping in
graceful folds, they attract good deal
Of attention. 1t is pleasing to know
that these tree peonies will grow in
any good soil without much trouble,
consequently the whole tribe should
be found place in every garden.
They give fine effect in beds on
lawns, or may be grown in pots and
taken into the conservatory at the
present season when at their fullest
beauty. Some of the newest kinds
measure nine inches across the bloom.
These peonies die down in autumn,
and start growth with renewed vigor
in spring. The gold-fowered Ethio-
plan lily Is another beautiful thing
that ladies procure as fitting COM
panion to the pure white variety.
There Is also quite novel pink flow
cred form, but as yet quite rare; it was
discovered recently in Rhodesia. Many
dwelling houses are now adorned with
the lovely climbing Wisteria sinesis,
which is unequalled for the purpose
when in flower. The fine pendulous ra-
GENES of a rich lavender color remind
one of a bunch Of grapes from the way
they hang on the branches. They are
produced SO freely that at the pres
ent season there seem more blossoms
than leaves. The Wisteria is quite
hardy and its stems extend to great
length each summer. Young plants
can be bought very cheaply, and we
strongly recommend this elegant
climber to those who do not know it.
A group of pretty Towering plants
that deserve greater attention than
they receive are the double-fowered
ivy leaved geraniums. Few plants
compare with them for balconies or
window boxes or to hang down from
stagings in the conservatory or from
baskets; the foliage alone is handsome,
whilst the flowers which are produced
SO freely, right through the summer,
are both bright and lasting. They look
magnificent when trained along trellis
work in sunny positions.

Hunting with tho Cam, ra.

The new sport, begun by natural
lists, of hunting all manner of wild
creatures with the camera, spying
upon them in the supposed privacy Of
their retreats, studying their habits,
domestic customs and individual
traits, offers a pursuit infinitely more
significant, more elevating and of
greater value to humanity than the
sport whose vista is bounded by the
sights of gun-barrel 1t certainly
calls for a higher courage, and inso-
much is a more manly occupation.
Tracking big game to it's lair, circum-
venting it at short range in order
to get it in good light, waiting for it
to strike an effective pose, then calm
ly swapping shutter, while unfet-
tered by cumbrous weapon and am
munition, is Drawer deed than touch
ing trigger at rifle range. 1t GER
tatnly demands superior skill and
yields superior results. When the OBJ
ject Of the chase is some little harm
less animal it is usually much more
difficult feat to secure it's reflected i'm
age than it would be to Stay it with
charge of shot or to land it With
hook.
Through camera observation, vast
new department of education is being
opened up to the student, a vast field
in delightful surprises and a tender,
intimate appreciation of animal life,
which cannot help but make better
and wiser those who probe it's mystic
ries.
The hunt with the camera is an up
lifting occupation, educating to new
reverence for the humblest of created
things, and free from the brutalizing
irGSlences of sport which has killing az
its end.
1t is an ideal pursuit for young peo-
pie, many of whom have shown them
selves most successful in the delicate
finesse, the patience and stealthy
movement essential to drawing near
their quarry without disturbing it.

THE PRICE OF CHOCOLATE.
Much Cheaper in America than ir
CountrIes Who're Grown.

Much Cheaper In America than ir
Countries Whore Grown.
When, on drinking your cup of choc-
olate at breakfast, you find sediment
deposited in the bottom of the cup,
you may feel sure that this insoluble
stuff is the adulterant with which the
chocolate is cheapened to such de-
gree that the beverage far from its
source of production costs less than it
does in the place where it is produced.
In SCUM America the retail price for
the better grades of chocolate averages
about 81 per pound, while in Italy.
France, England and in the United
States the better grades sell at much
lower price. In America the ordinary
chocolate sells for about one-third of
the price that is charged for it where
it is produced The cause Of this, the
producers say, is that the original
product is adulterated greatly before
reaching it's final market cheaper ar
ticle than the cocoa bean constituting
the large proportion of 80 per cent OF
the chocolates of commerce. The cocoa
bean from which chocolate is manu-
featured is produced in its finest form
in Venezuela, though various other
parts of Central and South America
grow and export large quantities. Two
crops of the bean are gathered each
year, and. the manufacture consists
simply in grinding up the beans into
meal and then adding sugar and arrow
root, with the necessary favor-usual-
ly vanilla or cinnamon. The mass is
moistened until it is in a semi-fuid
state, after which it is run into molds
of the proper shape.-New York Press

Success of the Government Experiment

 Hartford, April 1.-The experiment of raising leaf tobacco under a cheese cloth covering, which was conducted by the United States department of agri- culture at Poquonock, in the town of Windsor, last year. was so successful that growers throughout the tobacco sections of Hartford county will test the new method this year. The area on which the government raised shade grown tobacco was third of an acre, but it is estimated that the farmers will in the aggregate, put about forty acres of tobacco under cloth this year In his inaugural message Governor Me Lean, after alluding to the success of the Windsor experiments and to the fact that tobacco grown under cloth is worth seventy-five cents a pound, add ed: These experiments should be con- tinued, for am told by conservative ex- perts who have examined the Windsor that it means millions of dol lars to the tobacco-growers of Connecti- cut in the near future.

PASTEIIRIzED MILK.

At the present time, and for that matter, at any time, it is a matter of vital importance that milk should be not only of pure quality. but also abso- lutely free from any property which might prove inim!cal to health. The New England Dairy company exercise the utmost care and vigilance with re- spcct to sending out their milk. It is first carefully selected, clarified and then Pasteurized Each and every bot tie is washed in spring water from an artesian well and then steril.zed. After being filled the bottles are sealed with parafine. In order to give any one the opportunity of testing this very Su- perior milk sample bottles are sent out by the Dairy company to any one who will notify them by mail or telephone.
