"A PICTURESQUE SCREEN. " :

"A most picturesque fly screen, whose
efficacy, however, is often in doubt. is
a fine lattice work over-run with vines.
Seeds of Jarapese hop vine, or some
other pretty climber, are sown under
the window, and if the spot is warm
and sunny, they will form luxuriant
screen, whose leafy motion in the
breeze serves to keep out flies. It
would seem as if such a screen would
also keep out light and air, and that a
much more effectual plan is to use the
prosaic wire screening in use in prac-
teal households. Some housekeepers
declare that the rose geranium is so
obnoxious to flies that a few good
sized plants of this variety, set in a
window, form a perfect screen.-New

The New Woman.


One of the charges that are made
against the new woman" is that she
is less sympathetic than is her sister
who abides closely in. what is called
'Woman's sphere.'' But in the light
Of the above arraignment of sympa-
thy as the vice that it not infrequently
is, may not the new woman" confess
judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her position
by so doing? Woman has been called
a ministering angel, but would not a
more practical name better beft the
woman of the twentieth century? Will
not the services Of women to the world
be greater and of more enduring ef-
feet if they cast aside unreaso soning g
sympathy as worn out garment that
discloses rather than conceals the
moral nakedness~of those about whom
it is cast, and substitute therefor the
armor of personal responsibility It
has been said that there is a woman
behind the door of every mans sue
cess. eff there isl says the writer,
''rest assured that she isn't a sympa-
thetic woman whining through the
keyhole, Give it up if it's hard,' but
woman Of nerve and backbone, who,
like the Spartan mother of old, is cry
ing out, Come home with your shield
or on it. "-Portland Oregonian.

TO KEEP FERNS FRESH.

There is new way to care for ferns
that has been found very successful.
Once week they must have Turk.
ish bath. Put them in the bathroom,
shut the windows and doors to exclude
every particle of air. Then fill the
bathtub with scalding water and al
low the plants to steam for three or
four hours. ~ ue
The room should be gradually
cooled before the plants are. removed
to cooler atmosphere. This process
does away entirely with the laborious
work of washing and spraying the
leaves and is much more satisfactory.

An Eccentric Historian.

Like most men of genius, the late
Professor Mommsen, the great Ger
man historian, had striking eccentrici-
ties. One of these was absent-mind-
edness. He permitted his hair to be
frizzled off by a candle by whose light
he was reading. But the most charac-
teristic incident was his thrusting an
infant into his waste paper basket
when it cried. Bismarck had not much
respect for Mommsen as public man,
but it would have gladdened the old
Chancellor's heart to see the scholar
publicly reprobating the language of
the Kaiser not long ago. No man out
side the Socialist ranks dared have
done such a thing in Germany.-Les-

would shake his head slow like, and

''It was all sort of depressing, and
no doubt the minister noticed it, and
felt as. if he had an uphill job. He
looked pretty discouraged by the time
meeting was over.
ssBut somehow he appeared alto
gether different when the service be-
gan in the afternoon, and the very
first words that he said almost took
our breath away.
"'My friends said he, L preached
to you as a candidate this morning,
but this afternoon shall try to preach
as minister of the gospel. I'm not
candidate now,' says he.
"Then he went on to say that the
church was a. place for worship and
instruction, but he thought that we
had almost forgotten that at the morn
ing service. He said he was afraid
that he was thinking all the time
about the appearance he was making,
and as near as he could judge, the
rest of us were thinking about it, too.
"'But that is all over now,' he said.
You have already made up your
minds that you don't want me; and to
tell the truth, friends says he, I'm
pretty sure I don't want you. So do
not let us waste another service. I
shall not think of you now as possi-
| BILE parishioners, but as brothers and
sisters that hope I have some mes
sage for And I trust that you will
| not think Of me at all, but only Of the
| message
''Then he went on with the SER

FLOOR STAINS.

Stains may be prepared at home. For
a light one take a tablespoonful OF
burnt sienna and two of chrome vel
low to pint each of boiled oil and tur-.
pentine. A darker tinge is made by
substituting burnt umbers for the yell
low. A good walnut stain is made
with two tablespoonfuls of burnt UNI
Der, three Of burnt sienna, two Of yell
low ochre and two teaspoonfuls of
lampblack. These ingredients can be
obtained at the nearest paint shops
and can be mixed in a can, says the
Household Ledger.
One excellent stain Of a rich dark
reddish brown is made by dissolving
in a gallon of boiling water one and a
half ounces of permanganate of pot
ash. If this is not dark enough with
one application, give the floor another
coat.
Afterwards rub linseed oil in hard
and thoroughly with an old flannel,
and then give it a polish of beeswax
with eight ounces of turpentine. Melt
gradually over slow heat till the con-
sistency of cold cream. AS there is
some danger attending this part of
the process, it is safer to buy this pol.
ish ready prepared. :, '-
