\ MINISTER'S IDEAS
 OF MARRIAGE PROPOSALS.

Rev. Chas. L. kloss, pastor of St. Louis Congregational church, has pub lished an article in weekly newspa- per conducted by the ministers of that city. which attracted unusual attention The minister is disturbed because of the dearth of marriages in his congre- gation and sees no excuse for it. He proposes revolution from the estsb lished customs precJ ding matrimonial alliances, and says;
 The idea seems to have always been that women are dependent upon the men. There is no reason why this opinion should not be removed. Let them become mems economic equal, and then they can do the proposing themselves, instead of waiting for the men to come along and ask them to be- come their wives. Right now women do not usually let men propose to them until they are ready. and there is no reason why they should not have and exercise the same right of proposing as men,"
 Such a proposition is counter to all

MR. BRYAN says in the Commoner 'The manner in which the supreme court twists the constitution to sui! its plans, holding the colonies as do- nestle territory for one purpose and as foreign territory for another purpose, recalls . story. A lady was purchas. ing some calico with which to color caster eggs, and just as the clerk was assuring her that it would fade the proprietor came along, and overhear- ing the remark rebuked the clerk and said: You are mistaken, sir, that cal leo will not fade.' But she wants il to fade responded the clerk. The constitution fades whenever the court wants it to fade"

OUR strenuous president shook hands with s. 100 people on the occasion of his New Years reception, and that, too, without visibly affecting his physical condition. President Roosevelt's ex- perience with the mountain lions of Colorado and the Spaniards on San Juan hill was good training and prepa- ration for the endurance of the Wa,h ingtou social mobs.

Now that the holidays are past and the American people in general are again settling down to business, con- gress may be expected to take up the real work of the session barely beguc. This work, however, promises to be so unsatisfactory to all but a certain priv ileged and powerful caste thata failure of performance would be anything but public calamity. The Fifty-seventh congress is a trust congress from whose achievement the people have little hope of profit.

THE Southwestern Stockman is of the opinion that the proposed lease law now before congress will be defeated and believes that it ought to be de- feated. That paper says the s,cckmen Of Arizona could not afford to pay two cents per acre for lease of the aver age Arizona range, and in this it is certainly correct.

Gooseberries are profitable and can
be grown on a more extended scale
If given as much care as is bestowed
upon other fruits The plants are pro-
pagated to some extent by cuttings, but
generally by layers. The earth is
heaped in a mound around the bushes,
and the young branches will strike
root. They can be planted four feet
apart each way, and the soil should be
rich. The plants should be well cult
waited and heavily pruned. The fruit
grows on the buds formed on two-year-
old wood and on spurs and buds Of
older growth. Pruning should be done
by cutting out extra shoots and also
cutting back the new growth.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1902-05-02

When putting cuttings in the ground
leave as few buds as possible above
the ground When the rootlets are
thrown out below the surface of the
ground they begin to supply food to
the buds above, and the more buds the
greater the work placed on the root
let's, in many cases the cuttings dying
because the buds cannot be nOurished.
The entire effort of the roots should
be concentrated upon one bud, Oh not
over two. The soil should also be mel
low, as the sticking Of cutting into
hard and compact soil is to rob the
roots of food and moisture. Plant the
cuttings deep in fine. rich soil, and
should 1t be necessary water them un.
til they are well started in growth.
The cuttings Of some plants can be
had almost for nothing. as they are
sometimes thrown away. and when
planting cuttings 1t would be well t
use a large number, so as to allow for
failure to root Of some Of them, ano
also that only strong and vigorous
plants may be selected from among
those rooted. -. ....s.

A Clever Idea.

A 'pincushion tea" was the form an
entertainment to raise some church
funds took recently. IL was held at q
private house, though the church par
lOrs should be equally available, and
all ladies invited were requested to
send or bring pincushion, and every
body in attendance was asked to buy
one Nearly 200 cushions were dis
played of all sizes, material and de-
signs, from the tiny vest pocket pin
holder to the dressing-table roll a yard
long and gorgeous with lace and en-
broidery. Prizes were offered for the
best cushion shown, and also for those
of the most original design. The first
prize was won by a cushion mounted
as a frame to a mirror and made OF
padded pale green velvet. The most
original design award was given to a
cart and horse and neatly dressed driv-
er, the cart piled with war supplies for
South Africa. A gondola cushion and
one illustrating the "old woman who
lived in her shoe" also attracted atten-
tian. The idea is q development from
the apron and handkerchief sales, and
was attractive and profitable from is

Setting out YOUNG Fruit Trees.

The planting of fruit trees in spring
should be done with care, and labor
should not be spared in the effort to do
what is proper, as a good beginning is
everything with a tree Order the
trees now, to be sent at a certain time,
and insist that only the varieties or
dered be sent. The ground should be
prepared as soon as it can be done.
the stakes made ready, and the trees
set out as soon as they arrive. One Of
the points to observe is not to allow
the roots to become dry. Cut away all
broken or injured roots, and leave as
little top as possible, as the more top
the greater the work on the roots
The peach trees may be trimmed off
like clean sticks, and no trees should
have too many branches. Cut off the
young shoots if they are too thick so
as to first secure good root growth be-
fore allowing heavy top.

many women, and those who cultivate
a pretty fancy in that way have plenty
of choice at present upon which to
form models. Simple little baby-girl

are given to an Empire gown Of clear
white muslin sprayed with golden but

charming ones are OF tucked chiffon

the sleeves above the wrist the tighter

are, however, more often given bell

A Small Waist Beautiful.

Now of course l am expected to say
that a small waist is ugly, but on the
contrary I think that a small waist is
beautiful, writes Ethelwyn Wetherald,
in Good Housekeeping. Not unnatur-
ally small, not grotesQuely and ridicu-
lOusly small, as those of fashion plates
always are, but with the natural small
ness Of an erect, healthy, full-chested
woman. To attain beautiful, natural
slenderness one needs not to compress
the waist, but to develop the shoulders
and chest, and to restrain and direct
the appetite, so that the stomach is not
filed with indigestible food which
bloats and distends the waist. A little
bag of bones" with a twenty-inch
waist is a revolving spectacle; the same
bag OF bones hattened out into the
similitude OF a bed slat is only little
less repellant; a huge woman who can
with difficulty achieve any waist at all
is not attractive, but the firm-feshed
girl with strong arms, solid shoulders,
full chest and a twenty-six-inch waist
has a magnificent figure admired by
men and women. If she marries she
will have healthy children; if she re-
mains unmarried she is abundantly
able to take care OF herself Her motto
is not Health before beauty" but
Heath and beauty before ruinous
fashions"

Feeding Englnnd's Legislators.

The kitchen staff at the House OF
Commons is anxiously awaiting the
proposals Of the Government with re-
gard to procedure, because it is obvious
that if the House is to adjourn for two
hours every night most members will
prefer to dine somewhere else. Last
session, up to the end of July, there
were 1926 dinners served, compared
with 21,415 luncheons, 10000 teas, 753
suppers and 6240 meals at bars. max
ing a grand total of 1O7,7 O3. If these
dinners, or the bulk of them, are not
eaten, twice the number Of teas will
scarcely compensate the caterers for
the loss Of custom. The House. OF
course, now caters for itself. and gets a
