GAR
EARLY PLANTS.

These suggestions from the OHIO
Farmer are timely: For those who
have not the advantage of hothcuse,
but wish to have plants earlier shan
even a hotbed allows. starting tfec1 in
doors may, as a rule, be resorteu to
successfully. Such plants as tomato,
cabbage lettuce and many otherg are
easily raised in boxes and may then
be transplanted to the garden, when
danger of frost Is past. For this pur-
pose use shallow boxes of any Desired
size. For drainage place a layer OF
broken brick i'll the box the bottom of
the box should be perforated. HilI to
within half an inch of the top with u
light, sandy soil, moderately rich. After
planting the seed. press the soil down
firmly, then moisten with warm water
and keep moist, not wet. When the
plants are few inches high it is well
to transplant them to induce a stocky
growth. AS they grow larger liquid
manure may be applied to the soil, but
be careful that it does not get on to the
plants, as it may injure them. BY the
time danger from frost is past the
plants should be large and strong. In
this way l have ripe tomatoes very
year by the Fourth of July, while If
] depended upon PLANS grown for the
main crops would have no tomatoes
before the first of August. For my
early crop of tomatoes l always receive
fancy prices and am amply rewarded
for my trouble. Sometimes / venture
my plants in the open too early and
they are killed by frost, but this does
not often happen.

A QUEENS PERSONALITY.

The Queen of Greece, who is a Rus
sian Grand Princess by birth, has
brought some good things into the land
of her adoption along with her own
gracious personality. Prior to her adj
vent at the Hellenic court charitable
institutions were unknown in the land
of Homer. Her Majesty at once es-
tablished an elaborate system Of sick
nursing, and out of her own not too
abundant private means helped to
found the first national nursing school.
The Evangelismos, the famous hos
pital in Athens, is the outcome Of her
endeavors, and Athenian ladies of the
highest degree, following the example
of their Queen, take n personal share
in the nursing and management.-Les

Of boys could not perform. IL Il car of
sheep is to be nnloaded Bill is sent in
TO lead them out. The door is opened
and he crowds his way in among the
blinking sheep. Slowly, and without
creating any excitement, he makes his
way along the walls Of the car. The
inquisitive sheep follow in his wake.

and along that wall he makes his way,
and so on until he gets back 10 the

but Bill is ''onto' his job, and at the
proper moment he jumps through

attendant quickly shuts the door after
him.
During the food Bill nearly los: his
life. He was put into the lower deck
Of a sheep ear. The flood was soon up
10 that level, and Mr.. Dudley lifted
him into the top deck. Still the waters

his shoulders in water He thought
the log was something to walk on and
he made the venture, only to be tilted
by his own weight into the water.

friend Dudley, who was coming in a
skiff, and Bill scrambled back. After

A London ornlthologist has plan
for getting rid Of the overabundauce
of pigeons that brood in the tops of
public buildings in that city. He
thinks it cruel to trap or shot them,
so he would reinstate in the parks of
London the once numerous kite, or, as
he is called i'll the north, 1.-The put
tock.' Once this bird was quite COM
mon about Covent Garden and if he
could be induced to return he would
thin out the pigeons and at the same
time afford Londoners an opportuni
ty for observing a display OF natural
falconry that would be novelty. The
Ornithologist would also nave jays and
magpies rehabilitated. so that they
might keep down the sparrows and
other small birds that threaten to be-
come a nuisance.

FROCKS VOLUMINoUS

h is difficult-very difficult-to ring

and becoming way. There is no doubt
that while remaining faithful to the
trotteuse skirts for morning wear. in
serge, cheyiot and tweeds, all the best
trocAs are made long and fairly vol
luminous. They are graceful and very
charming, but for practical purposes
they are quite useless. Yet the wo-
man with small income will hesitate
before putting the greater part of her
dress allowance into tallor-made

smart it must have long skirt.

THE PERENNIAL QUESTION.

That perennial question of how
much money a year woman needs
for dressing herself seems to be up
again for discussion. We read that
whereas a daughter in 1850 would
have thought herself passing rich on
an annual dress allowance Of 5000, the
same daughter-a rather antiquated
maiden, we fear. by this time-holds
herself a pauper ''if she may not spend
at least three times that amount on
her suburban toilet" Theoretically
5000 would not seem to be an enor-
nous sum for personal Identification;
but practically, however, women may
move heaven and earth ana their hus-
bands to get it, you can only say OF
them. "Some don't, some do" AS for
a woman's needs-why, 1T is safe to
say that every woman needs to dress

AMERICAN CULTURE.

Language and literature are the
basis of culture. No one will deny
that. The world judges our social
standing by the way in which we
write letters quite as much as by our
clothes. If we can talk like an edu-
Gated person we are at once sup
posed to be such. l know bright
young English woman who has read
widely and thoughtfully, and has stud
led good English consistently for six
or seven years. Now, though she had

lived in mortal fear that she would
make some egregious blunder and
would disgrace his professional repu>

study of language and literature, in
conjunction with household duties and
the care of children, has wrought this
marvellous transformation, says Sher-

The future Of American culture de-
ponds on the women. They alone have
the leisure for it. Almost every wo-
man has. or can have, few hours
day for reading and study, or for cul-
tivating the art of conversation or let

would do the simple and natural and
easy thing. study her own language,
