Ieaf-Dropping.

Leaf-dropping in house plants is
nearly always caused by injudicious
watering or insufficient drainage. If
the soil is allowed to dry the leaves Of
the plant are very liable to turn yellow
and drop, and the same result will fol-
low the retention of too much mois-
ture about the roots. Many plants
will drop their leaves if they become
chilled. Avoid extremes Of tempera-
ture. Red spider, very small pest
which mostly attacks the under sur
face Of the leaves, will mostly cause
them to turn yellow and drop. So, also,
will gas and smoke.

WHY Women Worry.

If a woman is to protect herself from
the ravages of worry, and so retain her
youth for a longer period, she must
come into more frequent contact with
other people-as her husband does
and read good books; she must relieve
the monOtOny Of her duties and the
limiting influence of confinement with
in four walls by taking outdoor exer-
cises-a walk every day or spin ON
Il bicycle; in short, she must exercise
the body and mind in healthful man
ner, and she will find the bloom of
youth and health remain with her for
years after it has faded in other wonl-
EN- Of the same age.
1.-THE ordinary woman" says a cele-
brated physician. "leads such monet
OnOus existence that her mind has no
occupation but worry. What she needs
is to come out of herself much more
than she does. She must have inter-
course with more people and take more
exercise. This can be done without
neglecting the home. and every right
minded man will do his best to secure
for his mother, or his sister, or his
wife, these aids to the retention of
yOuthfulness Of body and mind"

Pagan Marriage Customs.

How little the fashionable bride in
the smart set to-day realizes that all
of the wedding customs of the present
are rooted in the pagan past. The
barbaric bridegroom procured his mate
by one of two methOds-capture or pur-
chase. We speak even now Of ''captur-
ing" bride, and purchase" is not
wholly unknown. In the former the
groom started upon the warpath with
some chosen companion, who assisted
him in selling the woman; whence
cometh the custom of having a "best
man."
The dainty gold ring of to-day is a
relic of the fetter by which the bride
was bound, while the jocose slipper Is
a remnant of the missiles hurled by the
angry parents.
The orange blossoms came in a more
civilized age. though not Christian. The
veil, as still in modern Oriental coun-
tries, typities exclusive possession by
one man.

What Women Admire in Man.

What Women Admire in a Man.
There seems to be no limit to the
lgliness man may possess without

his reason women are often sneered

Here they are completely at fault,
for love with a woman Is not half so
often induced by good looks as by 9th
er qualities which compel her admira'

place the chief thing which women

she admires most the quality of cOur-

Another thing she greatly admires is

Sometimes she admires less striking
qualities in man; she will think that

her heart of hearts the husband who

that if he had but the confidence to

The Brile's Crucial Moment.

Inc Brlue'8 crucial Moment
But in the ascending scale Of life
marriage is not merely the romantic
mating Of two people; 1t is spiritual
union, occult and difficult to define,
composed of two distinct intelligences,
neither Of which can withdraw or DOM
mate the other without injury to the
relationship.
And the lack Of right-mindedness In
the wife when the honeymoon days
are over spoils as many marriages as
frailties in the husband do. Obliged
by the very nature Of things to dis
pense with her bridal ideals, the ques-
ton is. what course she will pursue.
And everything depends upon her de-
cision, for she will either adjust her
self to the situation with the egOtism
of a martyr, seek consolation in her
children. religion or society. or she
will wisely accept the bargain she has
made for happiness with the deter
mination to realize upon 1t in spite OF
all newly discovered human limita-
tions.
And here begins her university
course in the philosophy Of life; phil
osophy which not only recognizes the
disposition of one particular man in its
variations from that Of mankind in
general, but disciplines her own to
match and mate 1t. And there Is the
rub.
The matching is a pitting Of force
against force, which comes easy to old
Adam nature; but the mating Of mind
with mind, the finishing of his courage
with the spires of her hopes, the add
ing of her charm to his power. Is a
Divine alchemy of spirits which no
man can accomplishment

Smiles and Their Meaning.

Some one has suggested that words

This is where smiles are useful. Now,
there is nothing worthy of remark
about smile when the natural result
of a pleasant thought. but the climax
of art has been reached when one has
learned to smile under circumstances
when language-if true expression
of thought-would be decidedly objec-
tionable.
Smiles have a peculiar charm. They
can accomplish wonders in an argu-
