There is so much my lips may never

Mutely / walk beside thee, day by day
There is so much M heart may never

My love is mighty and my words are
weak.
There is so much my heart may never
There IS so much my lips may never

Who ne'er has failed--he never stroye

Who ne'er has wept is stranger to laugh
And he who never doubted never

Meath laid her gold within his grasp,
Fame brought her laurels rare;
His fortunes hand to touch and clasp,
His. smiles of women fair,
He feels the old-time thrall
OF one dear love to him denied,
And lacking this lacks all.

Care of Maiden Hair Ferns.

Maiden hair ferns, which are al
ways popular, are perhaps the
most unsuited of all the green house
ferns for room. They need great
amount of atmospheric moisture and
in the heated, dry air of the average
interior, the delicate fronds shrivel
away. Japan supplies US with many
beautiful ferns. The hanging balls
have a centre of moss which must al
ways be kept damp. All Of these Jap
anese fern devices can be grown in a
room If they are well soaked in tepid
water daily and then hung up to drain
over a tray before they are put In their
usual position. Ferns should be exposed
to as little dry heat as possible. Gas
which has such bad effect upon all
house plants Is fatal to ferns, first be-
cause of the noxious gases which it
generates apd second because of its
drying properties. Success with any
sort OF plant depends largely upon CIV
ing it as far as possible its material
environment. Few ferns should stand
in stagnant water, and therefore the
saucer should be emptied In most cases
within an hour after watering. Moss
placed at the top of the soil In the pot
win have a tendency toward keeping
the earth about the roots moist.

The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been cred.
tied with some utterly fabulous dishes
such as white mice served alive, which
add piquancy by their squeak rs they
dive down the guIlet-curiosities in the
edible line do form a considerable list.
Bird's-nest soup, for instance, clear
soup made from the refined gluten with
which certain species of swallow fasten
their nests beneath the rocks; stewed
sea slugs "-another nasty-soundinq
dish but transcending in flavor the AL
dermanic green turtle fat. There NAV
be. too, on first introduction, some preiu-
dice against fried grasshoppers. But
courage in this instance is rewarded bv
a deliciously crisp brown mouthful, of
delicate nutty flavor 1t is fallacy to
suppose that pork forms constant arti-
Gle of diet in China. As matter of fact
it is too expensive, and is only eaten ON
high days and holidays, or at restau-
rants. Neither do milk, beef, or game
enter much into Chinese cookery. Dog
flesh is eaten in the south-but rarely.
