large insurance firm, asking him to-

The young man assented and issued
the policy. He waited considerable
time for the payment Of the premium.
His friendship for the young woman'
caused him to resist sending the BILL.

CuItivating Ginger.

Ginger is made a matter of scientific
culture in Jamaica. 1t is propagated by
cutting up small pieces of the root, and
If possible, rich cool soil from recent
ly cleared woods is selected for it. 1t
is "a great impoverisher of the soil and
grows so iuxuriantly that in short
time little piece of root will spread so
as to produce nearly a pound of new
roots. The sets are planted in March
or April and get to their full growth
about September
The roots are dug usually in Jamaica
in January or February. They are
washed, exposed to the sun until thor
oughly dried and packed in parcels of
about hundred pounds each. In order
to dry them more rapidly they are first
scalded in a little copper pot in order
to destroy life, of which the roots are
very tenacious White ginger and
black ginger are from the same roots,
the difference arising from methods of
curing. Roots for sugar preserving are
dug while quite young, before the
stems are more than five or six inches
high.

quite a number of roses, one Of which

Mexican Child Life.

Mexican childrena high and low are
exceedingly fortunate in being treated
almost uniformly with the greatest
kindness and affection by their par
ents. From babyhood they have an eX-
cellent understanding with their ED
ers, respect and affection on one side,
affection and tenderness on the other.
No Indian is too ragged or dirty to
kiss the hand of his tattered old moth
er with the grace of lord. This hab-
it, with the real reverence of which it
is the outward and visible symbol, is
commenced early in childhood. An In
dian, even drunk, does not abuse his
family Assisted home by friend on
either side, whose condition is only a
few degrees better than his own. he
sits on his doorstep, the one entrance
to the single unlighted room consti-
tuting his dwelling, and contemplates
life with maudlin good nature while
the children and dogs play around him
and over him until he falls into drunk
en- stupor.

A Cleaners secret.

A cleaner gave away enough of his
secret for renovating materials to prove
very valuable to one woman. If gaso-
fluid the amateur cleaner finds often
that the last state of the cloth is worse
than the first. Around the spot will be
a ring of discoloration that marks the
stain more thoroughly than did the
original spot To prevent this the fab
ric should be cleaned with a piece of
the same goods, the cloth rubbed
lengthwise and with the weave. Con
tinue rubbing until the material is per
fectly dry. If these directions are care
fully followed, it is safe to clean the
most delicate materials.-New York

Household Simplicity.

Stuffed chairs catch and hold the
dust and grow shabby with use, while
well built chairs of wood in comforta-
BILE, dainty shapes will last lifetime,
with very small repairs, There are sim
pie furniture polishes which keep them
clean and bright, and if there is a little
cloth about them in the form of seat or
back cushions it need not impoverish
one to renew it when necessary.
In every department of the home bet
ter results are obtained by simplicity
than by elaboration, and the tendency
of American housewives is to adopt it.
Like all reforms, it has not taken such
deep root that we can rely upon its
stability. The senseless fashion of
tawdry and useless characterization NAV
return at any moment. We may even
return to an admiration for wax flow
ers with a glass covering, but l doubt
it. l have faith in the quality of the
taste American women are trying ia

PERSIAN RUGS.
A Safe Rule by which to Distinguish
the Genuine Ones.

A Safe Rule by winch to O1sVHnSuIsn
the Genuine Ones.
A great many persons fatter them
selves that they are able to tell a gen
uine Persian rug from Il spurious ma
chine made one by touch, but in this
they deceive themselves. The best and
surcst way to tell genuine from an
imitation Persian rug is the following:
If one will look closely, one will OBJ
serve that in the genuine Persian rug
the intricate and complicated pattern
or design is not altogether symmetric-
al, the corresponding flowers, vines or
geometrical figures of one side being
q little out of line, larger or smaller
or not meeting and pointing with fig
ures on the corresponding detail on the
opposite side of the rug. This is owing
to the fact that in hand weaving it is
impossible to obtain perfect symmetry
of patterns, especially when the de-
signs are as complicated as they are
ON Persian rugs. On the other hand
let one examine closely the machine
made rug, and one will find the most
perfect symmetry of pattern, so much
so in fact that the design looks posi-
lively rigid and harsh. This pretty
safe guide, and if observed one will
seldom mistake an imitation for gen
uine Persian rug.

A MEMORY TEST.
The Act by Which One Controversy
Was Decided.

Was Decided.
Three men were disputing in Berlin
one day as to which of them had the
best memory, and finally they asked
Oskar Blumenthal, well known writ
er, to decide the matter.
"Read me any page of Goethe's prose
works." said one of the three, 'and I
will at once repeat it word for word"
81 can do better than that" said the
second one Put me in a corner of
this room, and l will play three games
of chess simultaneously without ever
looking at the boards"
"Thats nothing to what can do"
said the first speaker again. Begin
conversation with me now about the
most absurd things possible, and at the
end Of an hour l will repeat the entire
conversation to you"
The third man was silent, and Blu
menthal said to him.. "Why don't you
tell us what you can do? A few min
utes ago you were boasting a good deal
of your wonderful memory"
81 know it." was the reply, "but 1
did not then know that my two friends
took the matter so seriously. And as
they are so much in earnest I will not
try to surpass them, for l cannot for
get that each of them did me a favor

KlTCHENER'S LIVELY WEEK.
on Both Sides Than for Several
Months Past.

London, Feb. 10.-A report received
to-day from Lord Kitchener shows last
week to have been the liveliest week,
with the heaviest losses on both sides,
for several months past. Lord Kitch-
ener gives the Boer casualties a total
of 81 killed, 81 surrendered,
and 574 taken prisoners. The British
captured 4SO rifles, one pompom and
the usual grist of munitions and live
stock.
The most serious British loss dur
ing the week was the capture of sixty
wagons, conveyed by 16O troops. At a
point thirty miles from Beaufort West,
Cape Colony, the enemy swooped down
on the wagons and cut up the convoy
before assistance arrived. They were
able to move only twelve of the wa
gons, and burned the rest. In the en-
gagement the British lost two officers
and eleven men killed, and one officer
and foFty-seven men wounded, while
the Beers lost twenty four killed and
forty-seyen wounded.
The Beers also rushed a detachment
of 100 men of Col. Doran's column the
night of Feb. 8, when the British lost
three officers and seven men killed and
seventeen men wounded.

laager near Wolmaranstad, Transvaal
