the price on Cuban sugar and Cuban

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Land cannot be too rich or too mel
low for fruits.
Manure for the garden should be free
from weed seeds.
The head of a tree needs to be fairly
open to admit sun and air for full
growth of fruit.
The dah1ias will never disappoint
you. Pink, white, yellow or crimson,
tall, dwarf or cactus, it is bound to
flower.
In the fall after the leaves have
dropped is generally the best time for
taking cuttings from ounces, but they
may be taken later.
Heliotrope should not be mixed with
other cut flowers in water. They de-
cay quickly and have a harmful effect
upon the other blossoms.
Myosotis (forgetmenot) needs partial
shading, but not the shade of tree.
Plant among taller flowers or around
rosebushes, and it will do well.
Plenty Of yellow blossoms should be
secured for places which lack sun
shine. Yellow is good in almost every
situation and is the cheeriest of tones.
Good cultivation causes an abun-
dance Of fibrous roots to be made. The
growth of any plant is largely meas
ured by the number Of it's f1brous
roofs

ST. PAUL.

There may be some who think
that the "new woman" is confined
to cities, and that the stay at-homes
are all in the country. But even on
the frontier, a woman who spends
two days, consecutively at home,
does something worthy of notice in
the local paper, as an unusual occur
renee. So the husband who dares
to leave home and children is brave
man. A Pierce county paper has
the following items, showing the adj
vanced condition in that region:
"Mr. S. Fritzen went to Minneapo-
lis to attend to business matters
Wednesday. Mrs, S. Fritzen spent
Saturday and Sunday at home"
The National Educational Associ-
alton will be held next year in Bos-
ton. The rates will be one fare plus
two dollars for the round trip. 1t
will occur the first part of July. No
better chance for those who wish to
visit New England could be offered.
With the dozen of side trips and the
numberless places Of historical inter
est, pleasure and instruction can be
ideally combined.
To show the enterprise of Pierce
county papers who rake the
country with a fine tooth comb
for items, the following from one of
them, taken by the writer, is worthy
of reproduction. 1t need not be
sad that the paper has large circu-
lation: "Frank Rostad's dog ran
woodchuck into a stump Saturday,
from which he was promptly
smoked out"

LEARNING A LANGUAGE.
IT Is Comparatively Easy to Acquire
q Working Vocabulary.

q Working Vocabulary.
''It doesn't require any great length
Of time to learn a language II one has
patience" said a man who mas mas
tered several languages, land when
hear a man regret that he is not able
to speak French or German OF Spanish
or some other language unknown to
him l cannot conceal my amusement.
In nine cases out of ten l might say
that the men who express a regret OF
this sort handle English very poorly
if that happens to be their language.
"The chances are that their vocabu-
laries are extremely limited, and 1t
would probably surprise them to know
that despite the advantages OF birth
and education they could not command
more than 600 or 700 words in English
if their lives depended upon it. Yet
they are able to carry on intelligent con-
versation, and many of them may be-
come forcible and even automatic in
their savings, and they plunge into dis
cussions of literature, art, music and
other subjects of such fine elegance
and do it rather successfully too.
"Now, how long ought it to take for
a man to learn 600 or 700 or even 1000
words in any language? Certainly it
ought not to take any great length of
time, and from my own experience
know that it does not. Of course l am
not speaking now of mastering so that
one can get the full benefit Of all the
refinements of speech in a particular
tongue.
'But l have in mind the idea of
speaking intelligibly in a given Ian
guage and being able to understand
perfectly what is said in return. l have
a system which have worked out, and
it has been of vast benefit to me and
has enabled me to learn a number of
languages. It occurred to me while
was in Mexico few years ago on i'm
portant business.
''I could not speak q word of Spanish
and could not understand the language.
I concluded that / would learn the Ian
guage. My plan was simply this:
made up my mind that 1 would not re-
tire at the close of any day as long as
I was there without learning at least
three words in Spanish, how to pro
nounce them and what they meant.
That would give me ninety words per
month, or something over 1000 in
years time."-NeW Orleans Times

their distempers. If you have not slept

to hold your peace and not pollute the
morning, to which all the housemates
bring serene and pleasant thoughts, by

Look out For Your Pate.

A contemporary says pate is slang
for head. 1t is, eh? Wherefore? Sure
ly the word is used in trivial or de-
rogatory sense, as noddle, noggin, era
mum, brainpan, ETC., but its origin is
eminently respectable. Shakespeare
says ''the learned pate ducks to the
golden fool" Pope's epigram is good:
You beat your pate and fancy wit will
come;
Knock as you please, there's nobody at
We have "baId pate" and "shave
pate" Why, the word is used once in
the Bible, and by David, in Psalm vii,
16, ellis mischief shall return upon his
own head, and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his own pate" Ac-
curately, pate does not mean the head,
but the crown of the head.-New York
