Flowers Indicate Character.

If your wife cultivates the garden and raises
vegetables for you to eat, do not begrudge her a
plentiful supply of flower seeds. In fact, she can
get all the outdoor exercise she needs in ~cultivat-
ing a flower garden, while you have the vegetables
grown and gathered for the kitchen, and if her
spare, time is devoted to the flowers your home
will be more attractive. We once stopped at
night In a country town and found the hotel mis-
cradle. In the morning we sauntered up the
street and found another little hotel with a pretty
flower yard in front. We came to the conclusion
that people that loved flowers would have some
thing good in the house, and we moved our quar-
tiers to the fower-decked hotel and were not dis
appointed, but found a cosy and well kept house.
Wherever the flowers are cared for one is always
sure of refinement and comfort, and a farm home
without flowers is usually a home where discon-
tent prevails and the farmer does not think farm
ing pays. Therefore, let your wife have plenty
of flower seeds, and plenty of pot plants in the
house in winter and you will be all the happier

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

Well Jennie, you are right: the material does
count for more than the varnish, but all will ad-
nit that polish is essential. / am reminded that
ere many weeks our boys and girls will be at home
again. School will have ended with them so far
as the regular duties of college life are concern
ed, but for those who bring back their diplomas,
a larger and equally important school and one in
which harder lessons must be learned, will open
at once. You cannot know. all the teachers as you
did those with whom you have labored since your
college life began, but you will learn many valua-
bic lessons from life that are not printed in any
to avail yourself of every opportunity to learn,
not the evil but the good, and then by and by sue
cess will crown you with laurels worthily worn.
Some students say, swell, when I graduate I
shall be done studying" wonder if they really
think so? What a pity that they thus deceive
themselves! WIN they have only learned how to
learn and the ~certiice they prize as declaring
that they have learned everything there is to be
learned, is not that at all. 1t is simply a docu-
ment that tells the world that you are capable
of learning, that you have begun to learn, and
are ready for more lessons. Did you ever think
of it in this way?
We welcome Jim Dorman this week, and hope
that he will call often. He says that it never
pays to import what can be raised at home. Now
if we as a people could make ourselves believe
this one statement, it would be worth thousands
of dollars to us in a single year. Right now is a
good time to make a start while you are plan
ming for the years supplies. See if you can't
convince yourself, and possibly some other per-
son or persons, of the truth in that statement.

From Jennie Acton.
Duplin Co., N. G.

Dear Aunt Jennie May I come in and chat
awhile? I promise not to "raise a row." as the
college boys say, but will talk low and sit still.
This is the season that makes me wish that I we're
in school again. / know it is hard work keeping
up with classes, but then the joy when the session
ends is something like that experienced when a
bone felon is opened, the pleasure is so great that
you feel paid for the pain. / want to know why
some students at boarding schools are always COM
planning of the fare and the rules they must sub
nit to? Is it because they do not like to obey any
but their own sweet wills? Well, did you ever see
a fellow who had no will of his own? I have, and
I think if it were possible to manufacture such
a thing there would be a big sale for it, but then
/ believe that it would be like trying to harness
useless machinery for if the band staid on some
wheel would slip or Green; and then what could
you do? Some men are just like this, and as soon
as you get one part to going right, something
else gets wrong, and there you are. I have finally
concluded that the material used in building or
trying to make anything counts for more in the
end than all the pretty paint you see on the out
side, for the rubbing and rough weather will wear
all that off after a while, and then how do you
feel?
The little seeds are pushing their heads up out
of the ground in the garden and / hear the baby
chickens in the back yard, so it will not be long
before good times will have come to our house,
and I would like for you all to come to see us
then. JENNIE ACTON.

Why Boys are "Trifling."
AUNT JENNIE.

Dear Aunt Jennie Here comes a new one
from Duplin, who has been reading the many
splendid letters in the "Social Chat" department
of The Farmer for quite awhile. I have enjoyed
them very much, and I therefore wish to be ad-
mitted as a member of your happy circle.
In the issue of March LIST, Mrs. s. K. MI. ap-
ponds an example to her letter which she says is
harder than the one concerning AIMS age, and
asks for a solution of same and also a rule. L
have been watching "Social Chat" ever since, but
no solution has appeared; so l will give its solu-
ton, but not a "rule," as that would be quite
a hard thing to do.
Problem: A tree 100 feet high broke, the top
falling and forming a hypothenuse, touching the
ground 80 feet from the trunk. How high up did
the tree break.
I think a satisfactory solution of this problem
can be obtained only by the aid of algebra and
geometry; hence my reason for not giving a
rule" 1t is demonstrated in geometry that "the
sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle
is equal to the square of the hypothenuse." This
tree in falling formed a right triangle, the stump
being enc leg, the distance on the ground the
other, and the part broken off the hypothenuse.
Solution: Since we do not know the height of
the stump, we will let x equal height of stump;
then 1O0-x equals length. of part broken off.
Then, according to the geometrical truth stated
above, our problem will stand thus, having
squared legs and hypothenuse: K squared plus 900
equal 10000 minus 2OOx plus x squared. Since
X squared is on both sides of the equation, we may
cancel it from both sides without altering the

During a recent session of the House of Rep
resentatives, Mr.. Grosvernor, of Ohio, arose III
his place, and intimated that the gentleman who
had the floor was transgressing the limit of de-
bate.
"I thought it was understood" said the offend
ing member, that the gentleman from Ohio di-
vided his time with me-"

since it never was good policy to import what
might be made or raised at home.
Now, Aunt Jennie, although my letter is rather
long for the first one, yet I hope you will not find
it too long, as I had just so much to say on this
interesting subject, and wished to say it before
bringing my letter to a close.
