Hens and GaruenS.

1t is common saying that hens and
gardens do not go together and that
it is of no use to attempt to raise hens
and keep garden at the same time.
1t is true that in the spring time,
when the seeds are just sending up
their tender shoots, the hens are not
safe creatures to have in the garden.
But when the garden vegetables have
obtained their growth or good share
of it the fowls may be given the run
of the garden. If they touch any OF
the plants the pruning will often do
the plants good, but most of the efforts
of the fowls will be devoted to Kidding

Soft, red lips, where dimples play.

The Best Husband.

1t is not always the cleverest man
who makes the best husband. Very
often what the world calls a stupid
man will be far the easiest to live
with. When water pipes burst or
when children have the Group an ordi-
nary man will be so patient and help
full that you do not realize what per-
feet comfort this may be until you
have had experience of different sort
of being at the head of a house.
1t is very nice to have the world
talking of your husbands greatness
and cleyerness, and you are very proud
of him, but this is not every day in
the week, and you have your husband
about all the time. If you are think
ing of a husband, don't look for out
ward shine, for glitter and glory;
homespun wears much better than
spangled net, so don't be afraid to ac-
cept the hOmely man who loves you
and will take care of you, instead of
waiting for an ideal that can only ex-
ist in your own mind.

Recent statistics show that the

that they will not flourish in a person

Koch clearly showed that these bacilli
are killed by sunlight in 'from a few
minutes to several hours, according TO

circle bacilli are of course, microscopic.
They are destitute of chlorophyll, they
love darkness. Even diffused daylight
will destroy them, but not nearly so
quickly as sunlight.

the hard work they did with their hands;
and so were able to make good defense

This endowed them with courage
that women lack in later days. For. af-

confidence in ones own powers, physical
