At an auction sale Of building lots

Green, on the other hand, is the king of
colors, and no amount of IL can do any

If you were shut up in an artificial green

Green is so soothing that 1t makes big

Solitary confinement i'm a yellow cell for

bring you to nervous madness within TWO

respect increased when L observed this
Peoples Library for big and little folks,
open till midnight.
LIBRARY RATHER THAN PARLOR.
On my travels when l go visiting,
receive the most favorable impressions in
houses where L am asked into the library.
not into a cold stupid parlor. l never was
egotistical enough to believe that my own
thoughts suffice for me; L want to know
what others think. what they strive for and
achieve-that is knowledge which really en-
riches ones. mind.
There would not be half as many sick
women in the world if the wives and daugh-
had leisure and opportunity to read, like
their rich sisters. AS ii is they have moth
ing to think about but their Kitchen the
household and their children.
Household, children and kitchen must be
attended to, no doubt, but the woman who
thinks of nothing else is a mere slave, and
her children will never make a name for
themselves. l know Of no more beautiful
picture than mother and children round
the evening lamp, each engaged in expand
ing his or her mind. Children and women
who read much and reread the books they
like are true scholars, even if the school
teacher or husband does not always see it.
In respect to books the rule should be: Do
not keep any that are unfit for children or
young people. 1t is foolish and unkind to
serve, in the childrens presence, dainties
that they must not eat. Children should be
kept in ignorance of the fact that there are
bad books in the world. Some women deny
their children sweetmeats in order to save
their teeth, but allow nasty prints to lie
around, caring not whether their little ones
minds are polluted or not

and all are the better off for that.
Give your children a regular weekly al
lowance and encourage them to buy books
for the pennies they save. Books thus ac-
quired are most highly esteemed and often
kept for lifetime. Longfellow and Haw-
thorne should be in every American house
hold. but, l am afraid, absent from tens
of thousands of otherwise highly respect
able homes. Do you possess a good edition
of Shakespeare an edition with clear, large
type, suitable for reading at night? If you
have none 1 am sorry for you and those de-
pending on you. particularly your children.

works. Henry Drummond's Natural Law

there should be Byron and Browning,

| to read and reread. classics and books that
| make you laugh.

an upright rod. with a metallic brush or
collector placed on the perpendicular sum-
init. From this brush many wires are car
ried to the earth and buried fifteen to TWEEN
means electricity is collected in the atmos-
phere and distributed in the soil.
1t is believed that far simpler and more
readily accomplished method consists in
burying plates of zinc and copper on either
side of the plant plants to be expert
mented upon, and the connection of these
plates by means of wires placed above
ground BY this system the current moves
during a portion of its circuit through the
earth and roots, thus adding to their vitali-
ty and thriftiness.
Professor Lemstrom has also demon
strated similar results from the use of
static electricity. He has experimental
for the purpose of finding the exact nature
of the action of electricity in producing
these results and assumes that electricity
produces an augmentation of the energy
to which is due the circulation of the sap,
and that the more fertile the soil and the
more vigorous the growth, the more salts

Examples cited are harvested increase of
1912 per cent. in beets and 1872 per cent in
potatoes.
BERRIES RIPEN EARLIER.
There are modifying circumstances, ac-
cordiEg to Lemstrom. The too fervent heat
of the sun and the want of water are detri-
mental to electrical effect on certain classes
of vegetable growth, while, by protecting
these from the suns direct rays, especially
when they are at high temperature, ex-
traordinary results have been obtained. His
results also show an increased result in
deposit of saccharine matter in fruits, ber-
ripening.
1t is also shown by the same demonstra-
tor that too torrid natural heat and lack
Of water are detrimental to electrical effect
upon some classes of vegetables, while by
protecting these from too much direct and
supplying moisture wonderful results have
been attained
An experiment easily made is capable
of demonstration in the parlor or conserva-
tory. This may be done by selecting two
plants of the same kind as nearly possible
alike in every way. Select a thin piece of
copper two inches square and similar
piece of sheet zinc, connected by a copper
wire. Bring these two pieces of metal
on either side of the roots leaving the wire
in the air. With this apparatus the chemi-
cal action in the soil will generate feeble
but constant current between them and
will pass through and around the roots and
uourish them
