Wonen's Friendship.

Friendship between women is not
necessarily built upon early acquaint-
ance. My dearest friend may have
been unknown to me year ago, yet
time and education and circumstance
and environment may have been bring
ing us together for score of years.
The friendships into which women
drift during summer in the noun
tains or when idling about Europe are
sometimes not mere ephemera, but
have the permanence Of the house built
upon the rock. Your friend must to
some extent at least sympathiZe With
you in pursuits and aims. Your point
Of view and hers must not be alien.
You may disagree III opinion, but in
sentiment you must meet or you can
not coalesce in friendly relationship.
For friends must neither be like ivory
balls, smooth and polished and de-
tached, nor like soap bubbles, rides
cent, ethereal, and volatile, nor like
thistles, bristling with -thrusting
points on every side. Somewhere there
must needs be the reciprocity of con-
genial wish and acquiescent word, the
bond of union which unites and grows
even stronger as two go on the road
Of life together.-Margaret Sangster.

From the flowery land of Japan there
is a wrinkle to be learned about the
keeping of their national flower. The
chrysanthemum is with us in profu-
sion now, and will be during the next
three months. So let us take the ad-
vice of our little Jap friends as to the
keeping of the cut flowers. Light a
piece of wood (not match, because Of
the sulphur in iD, and with 1t burn
the stalks. Flowers thus treated will
last fresh for several weeks-no small
consideration when the beautiful bios

The telephone will no longer be an
expensive luxury in London. The
new scale of charges will bring it
within the reach of all, so that in
time the house without an instrument
will be the exception rather than the
rule, says a London newspaper. There
will be alternative methods of get
ting the telephone installed. In the
one case lump sum will be paid an

termined, will not be greater than

MISS CAROLINE HAZARD.

The election by the trustees of Miss
Caroline Hazard to the presidency of
Wellesley college on the Sth Of March
in 1899, was marked tribute to one
of the foremost women in American
educational circles today Miss Hazard
was inaugurated on the Sd of October
last year. She is about 43 years old,
and is not alone known for her lit
erary work, but because of her mem
bership in a family which for many
generations has been prominent in af-

it was difficult to believe that the coun-
try was at war, since every thing was
accomplished so smoothly and without
the slightest hitch. But the same cam
not be said in connection with the
maritime commerce of other nations.
The transportation of the troops from
Germany to China was such tax upon
the young country that its ordinary
maritime traffic was in danger of be-
ing absolutely dislocated. The solu-
ton of the difficulty was the chartering
of British vessels, which were readily
obtained. Russia was placed in the
same dilemma, and when France was
embroiled with Madagascar, the
French of operations in British ves-
sells.

course, when he is rung up. One effect
Of this method will be to make the

Feeds
the Hair

Have you ever thought why
your hair is falling out? 1t is
because you are starving your
hair. If this starvation cone
tinues, your hair will continrt
to fall.
There is one good hair food.
1t is Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t
goes right to the roots of the
hair and gives them just the
food they need. The hair
stops falling, becomes healthy,
and grows thick and long.
Ayers Hair Vigor does
another thing, also: it always
restores color to faded or gray
hair.

Women Who Cultivate Mushrooms.

Women Who Cultivate Mushrooms.
One of the latest fads of well-t to do

small mushroom farms in the cellars

give about ninety pecks of mushrooms
in three months. The cost of the bed
is about $40. The mushrooms sell Or
dinarily for seventy-fve cents peck,
bringing $67.50, thus making a gain
to the farmer of $3.50 on the undertak-
ing. An expert says that the things
necessary for success In mushroom
growing are, first, the cellar in which
they are to be grown, which must be

Mr.. PERTAINS BIRTHDAY.


On the occasion of the SD birthday OF
Ex-Governor Sidney Perham of Paris,
who is at his winter home in Washing
ton, he was presented with an easy
chair. The chair was the gift of the
'Sons and Daughters OF Maine" of that
city, society of which he was at one
time president, and always an honored
member, and was given as slight token
of the appreciation in which he Is held
as a man and a citizen by the society
above named, by friends and neighbors
and by the country, and to mark another
milestone in his journey of life, as well
as constituting gentle reminder that he
had earned the rest to which his years,
his character and his public services en-
title him.
Accompanying the chair were the fol-
lowing appropriate lines;
From Chair of State TO Chair of Ease
Please graduate your friends to pleasel
You've earned the right, the country knows,
To take your rest, and toast your toesi
Keep interest In to-day's affairs
Yet freer from its strife and cares
To view with retrospective eye,
The pageantry of life pass by.
Your fame is safe-yOu've blazed the way
For younger shoulders of to-day,
And helped with firm and guiding hand,
Wise laws and temperance In the land.
1.-THE Sons and Daughters" Of your state
Invoke for you a kindly fate.
And hail you, on your natal day,
Our Grand Old Man of Maine Away
