A Pointer for Women.

Queen AleXandra's laces, linens and
silks are perfumed by method which
almost any woman can copy. The
drawers in which they are kept are
lined with white paper, strewn with
rose petals. On this is placed a layer
of the fabrics to be scented, over that
a layer of rose leaves, and so on in
alienation until the drawer is filled.
At the end of twenty-four hours every
thing in the drawer will have a deli
cate perfume that will cling to it for
a long time.

BIRDS THAT PLANT TREES.
Nature Has Plan for the Perpetuation
of Forests.

OF Forests.
An old-time Arizona woodchopper
says the bluejays have planted thou
sands of trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have
habit of burying small seeds in the
ground with their beaks, and that
they frequently pinion trees and bury
large numbers of the small pine nuts
In the ground, many of which sprout
and grow. He was walking through
the pines with an eastern gentle
man a short time ago, when one of
these birds flew from a tree to the
ground, stuck his bill into the earth
ard quickly flew away. When told
what had happened the eastern man
was skeptical, but the two went to
the spot and with a knife blade dug
out sound pine nut from a depth of
about an inch and a half. Thus it
VIII be seen that nature has her own
plan for forest perpetuation.

The Celestial Surgeon.

If | have falterrd more or less
In my great task of happiness
If have moved among my race
And shown no glorious morning face:
If beams from happy human eyes
Have moved me not: if morning skies,
Books and my food, and summer rain
Knocded on my sullen heart in vain
Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take
And stab my spirit broad awake.

His Own Rival,

When Margaret was eight months
old she and her mother came home
from the Philippines, leaving her
father in Manila. Now she is two,
and refuses to adopt papa, who, just
returned, is trying to get acquainted
with his daughter. Finding her busy
with pencil and paper one day, he
asked, Writing a letter, baby?"
Without deigning to look at him
Margaret answered: go way, man!
I'm within to my dear papa in 'Nilla."

Little Alice always said her pray

One night, however, as she rested her
head on the pillow, she remarked, in

A Greek died in the small town Of
Caracal, having always lived on the
aims Of his cOmpatriots. Before dying
he made his wife swear hat she would
bury him in the dirty old overcoat
which he wore every day. The poor
woman had to ask the Greeks of
Caracal to help her to provide the costs
Of the funeral. A good hearted Greek
went to see her in her atfliction and,
pointing to the body, said he would
give her a better coat to bury the man
in. Then she told him of the dead
mans last wish. The Greek, whose
suspicious were awakened, told her
that she should certainly not part with
the body before she had well examined
the coat, for there must be some par.
ticular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining Of the over
coat and found $4,000 francs in bank
notes which the miser wished to take
into the grave with him.

four hours every day to what may be

Or was it this fall?
Oh, well, anyway,
What | started to say
Was that she-Well!
My memory's awful today!
Now. how did she tell
Me that? Well, well, we'll, WE'LL!
