GIVE YOUR CHILD A GARDEN.
1t Will Prove a Constant Source of Pleasure Through the ChiId's
 Life.

It is an exceptional child who would not value flowers and a garden of it's own. Boys and girls alike are delight- ed with the very idea of possessing a bit of ground where they can 'splant things" and watch them grow. The workers in city missions know that even the most unpromising specimens of slum childhood can be won by flow CTS; and among children of more fla yored classes the moral. influence of flowers is a force, though it is not rec ognized nor extended as it might be. People living in villages or small cities usually have some ground around their homes in which they can set apart a place for the children's garden. :. The love of nature 'fostered by this garden-making will prove a constant source of pleasure through the child's life, says Woman's Home Companion. The cultivation of habits of close ob- servation and the knowledge of useful and of harmful plants thus gained is sure to be of future value. Let the work of planning the children's garden begin with the early daxs Qf spring.

LIVES GROWING LONGER.
There Has Been Considerable of an Increase During the Last
 Ten Years

People are growing healthier and lives are becoming longer in this country, if medical statistics can be relied on. According to figures pulp lished in the last week life has been heightened by an average of Al years in the last decade, says the New York Sun.
 In 1890 the average length of life in the United States was 31.1 years. In 1900 this mean average had risen to 35.2 years chiefly by reason of the decrease in mortality among the very young.
 The three diseases which have caused the most deaths in recent years are pneumonia. consumption and heart disease, in the order named. Deaths from the first cause have increased slightly and medical science has made comparatively lit tie progress in finding a specific treatment for it.
 Pneumonia is an infectious disease like tuberculosis. Although it is not so contagious as are many other diseases, the sanitation of houses, schools, shops, factories, places of business and amusement, in medic al opinion undoubtedly determines to great extent the vulnerability of the system to it.
 Neglect of the ordinary laws of health is responsible Tor many cases of pneumonia. Among personal measures suggested for it's preven- tion are avoidance of undue ex- posture to inclement weather and of crowded and ill-ventilated gather ings; temperance in eating and drinking, daily bathing and regular exercise in the open air with spe- cial reference to complete respira- ton.
 There is nothing better than sys- tematic deep breathing while brisk ly walking out of doors.

ANEcDoTE OF DR. TALMAGE.
Wouldn't Be Convinced by Seminary President That He Had Mistaken
 His Calling.

Dr. Talmage's view of ministerial dignity was always so divergent from that of the old line, black robed di- vines of the Reformed Dutch church that it was a matter of surprise to many of his friends that he chose that communion at the start of his career, says the Brooklyn Eagle. One of the traditions of Herzog Hall theological seminary, in New Bruns- wick, where he graduated, runs like this:
 Talmage was an ungainly young ster, full of originality as an egg is of meat, but he did not commend him. self to the professors of the sem- mary as a budding clergyman. After he had preached his first sermon there, good old Dr. De Witt, the president, thought. the time had come to have a serious talk with the young man. He took him away where no one else could listen to their col loquy and said:
 "'Mr. Talmage, never like to dis courage anybody, and I rarely say what I am going to say to you. You are Intellectually bright enough. I can easily imagine that you might make a success in almost any field of life except in preaching the Cos pei. But, frankly, and in all kind ness, I must tell you that I solemnly think you have mistaken your call ing. Get a position selling goods be- hind dry goods counter or take a clerkship in a law office, or, if neces- sary, follow the blow, but do mot think of becoming the pastor of a church. You are not fitted for it at all. It is a great mistake for you to waste your time
 sTalmage simply insisted that he would go on and graduate. He did. And before his pulpit career was end- ed he had preached to hundreds where the venerable Dr. De Witt had preached to one. But those who tell the story down in New Brunswick say that Dr. De Witt never changed his mind. He was not in the habit oe changing his mind"
