Word and Works Magazine

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the noted weather
%forecaster of st. Louis, Mo-, has for
eighteen years past edited a monthly
journal of national reputation, WORD
AND WORKS. We have received
WORD AND WORKS at this office and
can testify to its value as a family
monthly. Prof. Hicks has just decided
to change his family monthly to maya
zine form and with the October number
the monthly will be a beautiful maya
zine profusely illustrated with half
tone e~ngravings. One of the early fall
numbers of this magazine will contain
Prof. Hicks weather forecasts for the
first six months of 1906. The January,
1906, number will contain the weather
forecasts for the second six months of
1906. These two numbers ofthe maya
zine will take the place of the Hicks
Almanac, which will be discontinued.
The matter that has heretofore been
published in the Hicks Almanac each
year will now be found in the magazine
aud much moro. The price of the
WORD AND WORKS MAGAZINE is 10
cents per copy or 81. 90 per year. Send
10 cents for a copy of the October num-
Der, which gives you full particulars of
how the Hicks weather forecasts for a

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will sell excursion tickets to the Fair

stations within a wide radius, and
special trains over the New York, Bel
videre and Amboy Divisions will be

As in previous years, every depart
ment will be replete with superior and
instructive displays. The blooded stock
exhibit will be particularly fine, and
the daily programme of races contains
the speediest classes obtainable. The
management of the Fair has put forth
extraordinary efforts to make this years
ex hibition ever greater than last years
record-breaking display.

the Source of Reform

A speaker at a mass-meeting III Phlla-
delphia Saturday night made this strik-
ing remark: ave never speak of the
reform in the State of Missouri, we
always speak of the reform Ex-Governor
Folk. And | tell you that all these
reforms-the reform of Governor Folk,
the reform of Governor La Toilette, the
reform of Mr.. Jerome-are all the out
come of the speeches and the action of
that wondrous President of ours, Theo-
dore Roosevelt"
There is a coincidence in the awaken
ing of the public conscience in so many
States during the administration of
President Roosevelt that points to the
operation of the law of cause and effect.
Theodore Roosevelt became universally
popular with the American people
when he was Governor of New York,
and his popularity was enormously in
creased after he became President. He
was made an elective President by a
phenomenal majority. Why? Be
cause the man was the ideal represent
alive of popular aspirations and reform
in government, because he was an ac-
cepted champion of the people against
the powerful vested-interests, because
he was the enemy of graft and corrup-
ton.
From this man proceeded the inspir-
alton that gave heart and courage to
political reform all over the land.
Theodore Roosevelt in his acts and
utterances has taught and eXemplified
the principles of reform irrespective of
political party. To him the corrupt
elements that exist within the Repub-
lican party, and the corruptionists who
masquerade as Republicans, are politi-
cal outlaws. He has shown his personal
sympathy with the Republican reform
movement in Philadelphia, and that
has been a tower of strength to Ieform.
The spirit of our great national eXecu-
tive has been breathed into State and
municipal politics all over the land. 1t
was present in the Republican prim-
aries in Essex County last Tuesday, as
it had inspired that revolt against a
experimentation party management.

HOME FLOWERS.
They Crafty and Develop the Sense
of the Beautiful.

u Ia
Few murderers or desperate crimi-
nails ever go out from homes where the
people are gentle hammered and the
surroundings refined and inviting.
Flowers in and around a home do not
get half the credit they deserve as a
civilizing agent.
The very humblest cottage in all this
land, if it nave a tiny patch of ground
about it. may be made the center of Il
bower of beauty. No time to raise
flowers? If O notice you will find
that the hardest worked mothers you
know often have the loyeliest flowers
about their cottages. Does any of her
sex toll more Or longer than the Ger
man peasant woman who comes to our
country to real her children amoAg our
pushing, get there race? 1t is better
and more healthful to let fancy work
and stitching go undone and work in
the soft, rich earth outdoors.
So let us clear away the ash heaps
and winter debris that cumber our
back yards and plant flowers. The ash
heaps make admirable compost for

varieties of these. Have you an un-
slightly shed or corner of your house
that you wish to V from view !
Plant beneath it the glorious Crimson
Rambler rose. 1t is so splendid that no
words can do justice to it in the days
Of its richest bloom. | have many a

1t is a climber and runner and will
quickly cover everything unsightly.
One plant often grows from ten to
twenty feet a year.
The Crimson Rambler does not bloom
more than a month in early summer.
1t simply gathers itself together and
pours out all the fullness of its rich
ness with one impulse; then it gives us
during the rest Of the season the shade
Of a graceful leafy climber, II that
too, Is attractive. Numbers Of hardy
garden roses, however, do blossom all
summer long and till late in autumn.
OF these some Of the most reliable are

low. The roots of rose plants should
be set nine inches below the ground sur
face. the earth about them tramped
firmly and the plants themselves well
watered evening or morning.
A "rockery" greatly enhances the
beauty of q d%ooryard. 1t can be merely
a pyramid of rough stones with rich
earth in the crevices among them and
a saucer shaped hollow in the top af-
fording a tiny bed for pinks, verbenas
or asters. A nasturtium rockery is one
of the handsomest and most brilliant.
In piling the stones in the beginning
leave wide cracks here and there for
flower seed. Fill these with loan from
the woods if you can get it, then sprin-
kle 1t with mixed nasturtium seed,
lightly covering them with the earth.
Next after the Crimson Rambler rose
nothing is more satisfying to the sense
of beauty in color thar the vivid, burn
ing bright nasturtium.
A clump of scarlet geraniums is a
thing of beauty all summer long. For
, 1905-09-20

fragrance and prettiness both there is
mignonette, which may be planted in a
deep crevice in the rockery too. 1t is
rather the fashion now to neglect and
underrate the rose geranium which our
mothers valued SO highly, yet for green
and for pleasant odor in a bouquet it
has never been excelled. 1t grows in
great clumps outdoors and ought to
have place in our garden.

the abandoned structure, the chapel was
almost in ruins To make it tenantable,
its fractured walls were patched with
boards, covered with tarpaulins without,
and draped with green silk within.
1t was an annex to the interior building,
though the gable wall formed part of the
Notifications, and the flat roof in ancient
times supported several cannon. There
was a reason for this popularity of con-
struction. A small circular window looked
out toward the Nolga through this section
of the defenses, and admitted the first
beams of the rising sun into the chapel.
Directly opposite was placed a miraculous
icon, a half-length representation of St.
Stanislaus, of which the face and hands
were painted wood, and the remainder
of the figure and drapery consisted of
an embossed metal plaque richly orna-
mented. The background was of dull
gold, and in the eyes of the holy man
were stuck a couple of diamonds or
brilhants.
As the castle could be attacked only
from this side, tradition had it that when
an enemy approached too near the eyes
of the image shot fire and the features
worked in indignation, with the certain
result that the assailants were driven
off with great loss. Everyone knew this
story. and no one believed it, yet among
the hundreds resident in the great palace
beneath there was not Russian who did
not regard the icon with awe and the
chapel with superstitious fear.
Again, as the venerated image usually
is placed in a corner facing the door. and
as this icon faced the round window
entrance to the chapel being gained
from a corridor directly beneath the frame
of the metal picture-the window itself
was known as 'Stenka's door" the tale
being that the founder of the Melnikoff
line used to depart privately by that
means after paying homage to St. Stanis-
laus, and carry out some distant fOray
while he was supposed to be carousing
in his own apartments.
From these facts two things may be
assumed safely. The Russian attendants

CHAPTER XIV.
The Miraculous Icon

A GREAT many Russians, like great
n many other people, wear their re-
ligion on their sleeves. In no other
country are the outward and visible
signs of deep religious convictions SO
numerous and striking, yet he would be
an unreliable guide who claimed for the
Muscovites a high standard of ethics or
morality.
Ceremonial counts for more than sin
cerity of belief. For instance, highway
robber killed and looted the goods of a
traveller; but would not eat a piece of
cooked meat he found in his victims
vehicle, because it was a fast day. An
other knight of the road broke into
church which contained a ieweled image
of the Madonna. Experiencing great
difficulty in extracting the gems, he
vowed to ST. Nicholas that he would
place a ruble's worth of candles before
his shrine if the worthy man helped him
in the theft. These are not fanciful
statements, but extracts from law reports,
and it is necessary to appreciate such
traits in the national character to under
stand the extraordinary scene which took
place in the ancient chapel of Bannofka
that night.
The old castle GROWING the hill behind
the palace contained the sacred editlCe,
as the architect of the modern building
had not troubled to build up its up-to-
date successor. Like the remainder of
