Ner,ect ia tho Flower Garden,


A little wholesome neglect Is as good
for the flower garden as it is for a
family Of children, provided always
that there is just enough Of 1t. In the
perpetual borders, If may call them
20, where the dear old fayorites have
their permanent home, undisturbed
from year to year, a kindly, benef,-
cent rule seems to take possession that
afavors the domestic gardener who has
abundant love, but scant leisure. The
idle youth, reminded of the old saw
about the early bird that catches the
worm, retorted: Serve the worm
right. Hes no business to be out so
early" Somewhat on the same prin-
eiple, the weeds that are let alone
may turn out to be flowers.
Hurrying out recently to look at my
sWeet williams, now almost ready to
flower, / found no weeds, but thick
mass Of young plants surrounding the
clumps, a sufficient colony to estab-
lish fine large bed In a new place.
Some one In these columns remarked
recently upon so-called professional
gardener who had assumed charge Of
place and called in friend to identi
~ an unknown flower, which proved to
be the sturdy sweet william. 1t is
among these somewhat homely yet al
ways pleasing and reliable perennials
that deserve a good corner in every
garcen that has space fora little free
dom.

The Duty of Keeping Cheerful.

1t may be that some enthusiastic
and laborious German statistician has
already accumulated figures bearing
upon the question of length of life
and it's relation to the enjoyment OF
length of life and it's relation to the
enjoyment thereof; if so, we are un-
acquainted with his results and yet
have a very decided notion that
people who enjoy life, cheerful people,
are also those to whom longest life is
given. Commonplace though this
sounds, there is no truth more COM,
monty ignored in actual everyday ex-
istence. "Oh, yes, of course, worry
shortens life and the contented live
to be DID," we are all ready to say, and
yet how many people recognize the
duty of cheerfulness?
Most persons will declare that II
a man is not naturally cheerful he cam
not make himself so. Yet this is far
from being the case and there is
many a man who is at present a weary
burden to his relatives, miserable
through the carking care of some
bodily ailment, perhaps, or some
worldly misfortune, who. II he had
grown up into the idea that to be
cheerful under all circumstances was
one of the first duties of life, might
still see a pleasant enough world
around him.-The Lancet.

snapshootIng a Submarine.

While the new submarine Sirene
was making trial trip in the roads
at Cherbourg, the lookout reported
that two young men in a small boat
were apparently taking photographs
of the vessels every movement. A
steam LAUGH was sent in pursuit, and
the men were arrested and brought to
the submarine. Their camera was
seized and the plates extracted,
smashed and thrown overheard. One
of the men was found to be dock
yard hand, and the other the son of a
tradesman. They were not kept in
custody, but a strict investigation will
be made into the matter.
Owing to no fewer than 20 subma-
rines having been laid down this year,
none will be begun in 1902, but FIVE
will be begun in 1903, while in 1904 &c
more will be, put in hand, making 68
submarines in all. to be ready for SER

next year and II. others In 1903.

What boy or. girl knows how to
play. the game of "Cities?"
This, is how you begin:
Task you the question: What city
In the United States am thinking
OFF"
+ You reply by naming some city you
think I have in mind.
IF you do not guess right the first
time I say no; that city is too far
north, south, east or west from the
one / have in mind.
For instance: Supposing l am think
j3ing Of San Francisco. l say to you:
What city in the United States am |
thinking Of?
81 You answer Boston.
No, 1 reply; Boston is too far
northeast.
Then you try again, this time
naming place further west and
south of Boston, say, Philadelphia.
vi tell you that Philadelphia is still
too far east.
Thus you continue, naming cities
further west until you say San Fran
cisco, when it will be your turn to
think of a city, or until you "give it
up" when it will be my turn to
choose another one.
sIf you can keep before your minds
eye a picture of the United States,
with the position of the many colcrs
representing the states. you will find
1T of immense service in locating the
direction of the various cities.

The Wealthy Indian.

White men and women are en-
ployed to take care OF the babies OF
the Usage Indians, of Oklahoma, who
feel so rich that they scorn the
thought of work for themselves, and
insist that that is what white folks
are for These Indians live in shacks
or tepees and dress in full Indian
costume, which is made of the finest
materials and includes beaded shirts
and moccasins and tn gaudiest Of red
blankets. They drive the best horses
and carriages to be had. Each mem
ber of the tribe, man, woman and
child, has an income of s400 a year.
This is the interest on the proceeds
from the sale of their lands in Kansas
and also from the leasings Of their
tribal lands for pasturage. There are
about 1000 members of the tribe.

They Lived 600 Years Ago.

In the early part of the 18th GEN.
.tury two exiled Italians left behind
them forever their beautiful native
city of Florence. One of them was
Dante, whom you have all heard OF
as the poet; the other was Petracco,
the father of Petrarch, the poet
,Petrarch was born July 20, 1904, at
Arrezo, during the second year of
his parents exile, and was named by
them Francesca. He was destined to
be as famous as his fathers COM
panion in exile. Dante. From his
earliest childhood francesca, or Chec-
co, as his little companions called
him, loved literature, and daily the
longing to be great writer grew in
him. His father. passionate man,
could not give up the desire to see
his son a jurist like himself. The
story is told that one day in anger
he threw into the fire all his boys
most cherished books. Francesca
pleaded so hard for his treasures that
at last his father rescued two books
which were only half burned, and
these two were Cicero" and Virgil"
This love of letters nothing could
kill. 1t is true that. yielding to his
fathers wishes, he spent seven years
of his life at Montpelier and Bologna
studying law, but he always regarded
these years as mot so much spent as
totally wasted" and after his fathers
death he gave up the study forever.
Free at % to devote himself to lit
erature, he placed himself under the
patronage of influential mobiles, a
necessary step to a literary man of
that day. We marvel at the number
Of books which came from his pen.
Though all the world knows him best
for the beautiful love songs which he
wrote in Italian, his list of Latin
books is very interesting. Then there
was the Latin poem about Scipio
Africanus which brought Petrarch the
greatest honor of his life. Largely
because of the interest it aroused, III
Easter, 1341. Petrarch was crowned
with the laurel wreath.
Petrarch's life was long one, so
long that he found time not only to
become one of the foremost writer's
but to collect library. to make col
lection of coins, to arouse interest in
preserving old manuscripts. fast be-
coming lost to, the world, and in many
ways to awaken the people OF his
time to love of the old Greek and
Roman writers.
One day in 1874 they found him
fast asleep over a book in his home
at Arqua. w hen they tried to waken
him they found that he was dead. So
was, the wish which he had once OK.

Brian and the Tur-keY.


I'm so glad Bri-anis coming.
He is such dear little boy" cried
Dot. "What lot of things we shall
have to show him. 1t seems funny to
think he has never been in the couu-
try before"
"Here they GOMEZ" cried Marie,
rushing to the garden gate; and the
children kissed their little cousin
until his cap fell off. After dinner
the three children made for the farm
yard.
You see, there's such a number OF
things you've never seen. Brian

pigs and"
"I,ye seen lots of zem," said Brian,
a little Indignant. 1--WE has chick
ems for dinner, and ever So many
years ago, I don't 'xactly member
when, we had a goose, and we has
turkey at Christmas"
Dot and Marie laughed. "But you
have never seen them running a
bout, have you?"
Before Brian could make up his
mind what to say, they came. upon
brood of duck-lings. and his shout
of delight told them the sight was
new to him.
, Then the chickens and the gos-lings
and the little pigs, all were fresh
and delightful to the city boy, and
his cousins were as happy as he.
But his rosy cheeks grew a shade
pal:er when he saw big turkey
3strut-ting about with out-spread TAIL.
{ ..fHe doesn't look much like the
turkeys. in the shops. does he?" said
dot.
! tAs7the turkey took no notice of
them, Bri-an's courage soon came
back. Suddenly he gave a great
shout, and pointing to the turkeys
wat-tles, he cried ex-cit-ed-ly, "Why.
the turkeys got trunk"
Dot and Marie laughed so much at
Bri-an's discovery that Brian be-
gan to laugh too, although he did
gnot know why; so 1t was very hap

doors at last.
But all the time he stayed ut tile

STRIDES IN MATCHMAKING.
Great Part Played by Machinery - Cuba
Unconquerable.

Great Part Played by Machinery - Cuba
Unconqnerable.
The consolidation of two large
match companies recently effected in
London attarcts attention to the great
growth of the business abroad, and,
curiously, its apparent inability to Sc
cure foothold in Cuba. The union OF
the Diamond Match company with the
Bryant G May concern makes un-
doubtedly the largest Incorporation OF
its kind in the world. An idea of the
total output. of matches is to be had
by figures furnished by the Atlantic
Match company, one of the strongest
competitors. Five hundred million
matches are said to be made daily
in Europe, and these figures may be
doubled for the United States.
One factory in Ohio alone Is cred
tied with turning out 100,000,OOO i'm
ished matches in "a hours. Fifty mil
lion feet of lumber are used in the
United States in the manufacture OF
matches, and some $2O,000,00O invest
ed. What an important part modern
machinery plays in this industry may
be imagined when it is said that only
about $4,000 people are employed.
There are but few statistics to
give" said match representative
recently, "to convince one OF the
strides in the business. American
matches have been able to secure a
foothold in Europe because of the su'
periority of American machinery over
tools that were in use rs years ago.
In Cuba, however, machinery Is al.
most unknown. Matches are hand.
made, and yet we do not seem to get
in. Some attribute this lack of sue
cess to the popularity of the small
wax match made in Havana, which
boys peddle on the street for almost
nothing. There are about nine Of
these factories in Havana alone. and
it would be strange Havana, in
deed, without the ragged little match
boy. Cubans will not use any other
kind of a match."-New York Post.

Sovereign Of Greater Britain.

It appears to be in contemplation
to give King Edward title more wor-
thy of his actual position than that of
king, and the one that seems to find
most favor in the discussion Is "SoY-
ereign of Greater Britain" This
would give him: distinction over all
the other rulers Of the earth. since 1t
would raise an indefinite title to
position of commanding definiteness,
as the addition of "the" to an Irish
name marks the head Of the house;

the Sovereign of Greater Britain alone
was meant. How the other sovereigns

Work After Harvest.

At the close Of the fruitlng season
thoroughly cultivate the ground be-
tween the rows of strawberries with
a small-toothed cultiyator. In the
rows and about the hills the hoe and
spading fork must be used to stir the
ground and destroy weeds and grass.
The plants should be thinned so as
to stand at least six inches apart. II
the soil needs fertilizing this should
be applied broadcast before the cul-
tiyator is started.
S Blackberries and raspberries should
I eve the stalks which produced fruit
cut out and the new stalks thinned to
the proper number in the hill. II
the terminal was not pinched out OF
the growing stalks earlier in the sea-
son the top should be cut back to
about 80 inches high. Gather all the
brush where it can be piled and
burned, which will destroy many iu-
ssects and fungi.
Currants and gooseberries close
their fruiting season little later than
the strawberry, blackberry or rasp-
berry. At the close of their fruiting
season all wood that has borne two
or three crops should be cut out and
the young stalks thinned to five OF six.
II the plants are crowded too close,
three to FIVE stalks will be enough to
Insure good crop. The cultiyator
should be started to give thorough
stirring of the surface, following with
hoe and fork between the hills, and
continuing the cultivating up to the
middle or last of August. If the sea-
son Is dry the cultivator may be kept
going at intervals of six or eight days.
