WORDS OF WISDOM.

It's no use blaming nature if you re-
fuse nurture.
Love is the light that shines farther
than all Others.
Success is not looking around for the
man who signs.
When you kill a good resolution you
revive an old enemy.
Your mothers apron strings are
away ahead of evils towline.
Goodness and Mercy" do not follow
the mai who is fleeing from God.
Content depends not on what we
have. but on what we would have.
1t is a greater thing to make another
strong than it is to carry his load.
The strength Of a mans faith is in
inverse proportion to its singularity.

Similarity.

Uncle Jerry's memory had begun to
play queer pranks with him, but he
refused to admit the fact, and stoutly
insisted that he could remember things
as we'll as ever.
On one occasion, while calling at the
house Of a friend, he was introduced
to a stranger whose name was Eddy.
In the course Of the conversation
that followed he addressed the stran-
ger rs "Mr. Whirlpool"

Flowers and Feathers.

1t is more usual, however, for the
ribbons to be accompanied by feath-
ers, flowers, ETC.. A rough tan-colored
felt, something of the Brittany shape,
namely, with a brim Of medium width
and a domed crown, has the brim
caught up by straps of cigar-brown
velvet. Two large ball rosettes of old
gold and tan ribbon, shipped in van
dykes, suffice for the outside trimming,
but on the upturned portion Of the
brim at the back, are some pink and
red single dahlias and brownish-green
leaves.
Much the same sort Of hat in felt Of
a dark purple-blue tint is trimmed
with wide ribbons of . wistaria mauve

DESCENDANTS OF CHARTER OAK
Transplanting the Acorn From a spri
on the Original Tree.


Transplanting the Acorn From a Sprig
on the Original Tree.
Growing in q large tub at the resi-
| dence of James Knowlden. 7O3 Roland
| avenue, are three thriving descend
| ants of the famous Charter Oak.
These sturdy little oaks of such re-
nowned Lineage will be transplanted
in separate tubs in the autumn, and
if they continue to flourish Mr.. Knowl-
den will present two of them to the
city, one to be planted in Druid Hill
| and the other in Patterson Park.
When in Hartford, Conn.,. two years
ago, Mr.. Knowlden secured eight
| acorns from the tree grown from a
| sprig of the Charter Oak. which stands
on the spot where that most famous
tree in American history spread its
branches for hundreds of years. He
| planted all, but five failed to germin-
| ate. He watched with tender care the
| three oaks that came up, bestowing as
much attention upon them as If they
were delicate flowers. They are now
about a foot high and give promise OF
becoming strong trees.
When the Charter Oak blew down,
the citizens of hartford Immediately
planted a sprig from it on the spot
where it had stood. The new tree
thriyed from the first, and now its
branches shade a considerable area.
| On every Fourth of July the Hartford
people, augmented by many patriotic
| citizens of nearby towns, gather at the
tree and decorate it with flags and
bunting, after which the Declaration
of independence is read beneath its
ever spreading boughs.
The Charter Oak itself was sawed
I'D into lumber. From this a frame
for the Colonial Charter was made.
The frame, with its historic document,
now hangs in the Supreme Court
chamber in the Capitol at Hartford. A
chair was also made from the lum-
Der. and this is occupied by the Lieu
tenant-Governor of Connecticut in the
Senate chamber.-Baltimore Sun.

seat is turned up alongside n side
frame. The hinged back closes in front
next to it. A spring engages with tho
edge Of the back, preventing it from
accidentally dropping. The seat being
folded toward the back, the latter Is
free from connection with the next
side frame, thus affarding numerous
comparatively free passageways. 1t Is
possible, though not desirable, by en-
ploying this style Of chair, to entirely
dispense with the middle and side

. The Early ~ M Of Children.

AoAJ
IT can cure your .Iidren when they
are sick, but what I want Is to teach
you to keep them we'll" These were
the words which my good doctor used
when my children were little. His
tender interest augmented my natural
desire to study how best to make and
keep them we'll. When they were a
year old I took away the bottle, which
they had had six times daily-from 9
until 8 at night. With this change II
reduced the meals to four a day-at the
hours G., 10, 2 and 6. The morning
meal consisted of mush, and warmed
milk to drink, warming it by placing
the cups in hot water. At 2 came their
dinner of baked potatoes mixed with
butter and b%eef-juice, warm milk and
orange-juice. This meal was varied
by giving veal soup with vegetables
in it, lamb or chicken broth with
rice or eggs, cooked by pouring boiling
water over them twice. To vary the
fruits I gave steamed or scraped apple,
stewed prunes, stewed or raw pears
At 6 o'clock zweibach and milk, with
more warmed milk. When at the thirC
year they did not need such frequent
feeding, I added to the breakfasts
steamed apples and varied the dinners
with beefsteak, lamb chops, boiled
rice and a green vegetable with the
simpler buildings, which, had no lemon
in them. I retained the suppers, add
ing bread and butter. Pure candy is
not injurious if given at meal-time in
moderation. This plan has been sue
cessful for my three children Of very
different constitutions. They say we
never catch cold unless we have eaten
too much. My children rarely have
colds or the stomach disorders so COM

A Test Of Mahogany.

So closely are many Of the new pieces
of mahogany modelled after the genuine
antiques in form and color that only
an expert can tell the difference.
"There is one way, however" declares
a well-known connoisseur in antique
furnishings, that you can always dis
tlnguish between the genuine and its
copy. Put your knuckles against it as
you would against a mirror to tell its
real thickness. If it is we'll vanished

The South American amphisbena Is

one would take the creature for a large

lizards have. No eyes are apparent,
