1t is the fashion nowadays for girl
to be brave; it always was for a boy to
be fearless. Therefore what l have to
say applies equally wen to both chill

mother or nurse who has the care of
their training. We place a higher val

peculiar that from the very first we try
our best to make towards of our chill

Her speciality is the Marie Louise vio-

New York market with no fewer than
10000 of these flowers. In addition,
she broke the record for large and per

Her husband was just beginning to
make violet raising Il success when he
died. leaving her with two children.
ANY one less plucky might have given

male competitors in the market. Not
so Mrs. Moore. Finding the rent of
her husbands greenhouses too heavy,
she took her savings and erected
small building on her own land. Then
she applied herself to learn thoroughly
every possible thing about violets. She
worked with her own hands early and
late. AS the result she was soon in Il
position to build additions to her first
house and to hire assistants. But the
secret of her success lies in the fact
that even at present she personally SUI
pcrintends every bit of the labor, from
the planting to the counting and tying
up of the flowers in attractive punches.
"And that is where so many women
make Mistakes" she said They do
not take especial care to have each
flower in the bunch perfect. and they
do not exercise the proper caution in
tying and packing them. The result is
that the blossoms reach the town in
half wthered or shriveled condition,
and the best wholesale dealers will
have none of them"
For the benefit of beginners Mrs.
Moore consented to give few valuable
hints, the results of her experience in
violet growing.

BILE, and, third, artistic. The color is
soft dull green, the natural color of the

HOW TO UNcORK A BOTTLE.
Simple Method by Which Corkscrew May Be

A party OF yachtsmen recently
chartered small vessel to 60 out and
witness the races between the seventy
footers. They had been careful about
everything on board the vessel they
had engaged except the liquid refresh
ment, and in that they were little
shy. On counting up TASKS and bot
ties, however, they declared that they
had enough to last, with little care.
The boat got under way, and before
it had proceeded far someone on board
was thirsty and it was suggested that
a bottle OF whisky be opened. Then
an unexpected difficulty presented it.

while hunt was being made about
the vessel the TASKS were brought into
use. These did not furnish stimulant
long and it was absolutely necessary
to open bottle.
One man suggested that the neck OF
the bottle be broken, but objections
were made to this because some broken
glass might get into the liquid and in
jure those who drank it. Another
man suggested that the cork be picked
out, but this was objected to because
the pieces of cork might get into the
drink and make it unpleasant.
