Market Gardening
Profitable for Women.

Now that women are more and more
turning to out-of-doOr occupations as a
means of gaining n livelihood. it is inter-
eSting to follow the career of one of the
sex, who has made a success in this line.
Miss Ruth Wheeler, an EnglShwoman,
who has taken up market gardening in
he" own country. pronounceS it IN en-
couraging field for women. The first year
of her experiment she cleared some $3.50,
the second this sum was doubled. and
now, though but half way through the
third. she has already trebled the amount.
Miss Wheeler has n pretty little home,
surrounded by three and half acres OF
ground; here she lives with her two sis
tiers, one of whom keeps house. while the
other helps i'll the garden. She employs Il
gardener and boy, who looks after the
horse and delivers orders. Nearly every
thing for the requirements of an ordinary
household in the way of vegetables, fruits
and flowers is raised on the place. Toma-
toes. Miss Wheeler declares to have been
one of her best paying vegetables: rhu-
barb, too, pays very well, and strawber-
ries. In addition to her regular gardening
this energetic woman also does johbing
gardening, finding it very profitable work
to tend window boxes, as she is able to
supply all the materials herself. She also
has three pupils and applications from
others.
In an interview. Miss Wheeler said:
81 think one of the reasons why women
SO often fail in new enterprises is because
men refuse to believe that they are in

Finger Print Identification of Slaves.

The Identification of criminals by
means of finger prints introduced in re-
cent years in European police and penal
establishments is paralellcd by similar
custom which has been used in Korea
for centuries to identify female slaves.
In a paper recently read before the
meteorological society Of London 10y =
missionary from Korea. il was stated
that in the deeds Of sale of slaves the
hand OF the latter was placed ON the
sheet of paper on which the deed was
inscribed. and an outline of the fingers
and thumb was traced. while, in addi-
tion, an impression was made Of each
finger. Such impressions. which natural
IS furnished q complete identification,
have been found on deeds that date back

To Keep Young Folk at Home
1t Must Be Made Attractive,

Do fathers and mothers realize the inl-
portancc Of making the home attractive,
50 that the young folk will he content
TO find their pleasures, as largely as pos
Siblp. at home instead of abroad.
Many girls meet their men friends at
other friends houses, because they are
not allowed 10 invite them 10 their own
homes.
Now there is something radically wrong
in this Either the girls are deceiving
their parents or the parents are making
home ~ unattractiye that the young folks
do not care to bring their friends 10 the
house.
When a mother aud daughter stand
on the proper terms with each other
there rs a firm friendship underlying the
natural love.

OWN -ir.hoo3 days iE her mind. is not TOO
severe on the faults and mistakes that
