in the woods are literally a sea OF
blossoms during the early part Of
June. The wood phlox blossoms
range from white through all the
shades of blue and pink, while in July
the native sod on the prairie is gOr-
geous with sister variety showing
all the most beautiful colorings rang
ing through all the blues, pinks, pur-
pies and reds, even to the brown
shades.
In the 'drummondii" strain we have
all these shades and colOrings, to-
gether with the characteristics of both
varieties combined. The spring frosts
will not harm the young plants, and
only the freezing of the ground in the
late fall closes their blooming period.
For grand display everyone should
plant bed of "phlox drummondii."

Our climate is Simply ideal for the

to the east, with row of stones (com-

the west winds, is all the shade or
protection they require. The fragrant

A good story is told on a prominent

stunt at bidding in basket social held

eral lads with ever-ready stomachs
had visited the dance hall previous to
the auctioneering and confiscated one
of the largest and most promising
looking baskets. After satisfying their
hungry interiors, scheme was hatch
ed whereby two bricks, nicely wrap
ped in tissue and bound up, were laid
at rest in the bottom of the flowers
basket. An A. d. T. messenger did the
rest and the basket was placed among
its fellow creations, and put on the
stand to be sold to tie highest bidder.
The aforesaid young gentleman, al
though warned to be careful in his
choice, persisted in bidding up the bas-
kets and when at last he succeeded in
landing one for the insignificant price
OF eighty cents, he murmurred a sigh
of content
He proceeded with his prize to the
young lady whose name adorned the
tag and smilingly presented himself.
All was we'll until. remarking on the
weight of the lunch, the girl lifted
the lid, when catching sight of the

The woman of thirty-five used to
go into caps and innocuous desuetude.
Does she do it now? The woman of
forty never got into a novel, except
as a grandmother. Nowadays she is
the heroine as often as not. AS mans
star wanes, that of woman appears to
rise and brighten.
The witty Frenchman of old time
who gave, as his summing up of the
choicest experiences of human life, "to
be woman till thirty, soldier till
fifty, and then monk" would have
to revise his age limits nowadays. The
woman who bids farewell to the Joys
OF living at thirty is not up-to-date.
The place to look for the woman of
fifty today is not in the chimney
corner, but in the automobile. She
appears to be able to keep up with
the strenuous life, while the tyrant
man drops by the wayside from over
work. She lives longer than man, all
the statistics show, and so she ought
to have longer prime, logically. 1t
looks as If she were going to get =;
and perhaps, in the Utopia of the flu
ture, while the man of sixty is being
gently but firmly chloroformed, the
woman of sixty will be buying a pale
blue hat with ostrich plumes, and en-
joyfng her youth.-Harper's Bazaar.

1t is heartily to be desired that

the advice to "be humble and polite"

own households. it would save much
unnecessary friction. Commenting on
number eight of the foregoing rules, it
ought to be unnecessary to tell any
woman in this enlightened age and
country not to have her fortune told.
Alas! however. such caution is bv
no means superfluous even here. 1t
is really discouraging to see how many
otherwise intelligent women will run
after cheats and mountebanks. and

lures choose to tell them! Last sum-

fortune-teller boosted of having taken
in ten thousand dollars in fees. While
probably he lied as much about the
sum he made as he did about other
things, still there can be no doubt
that his gains were enormous. His
charges were from five to twenty-five
dollars for consultation, and his door
was besieged by the credulous. One
woman undertook to demonstrate with
one of his most devoted clients. "FIow

Breathing Sodium Peroxide.

At last man has learned to live without air. Sodium peroxide, one of the newer products of electrolysis, is a compound of sodium with oxygen that decomposes in the presence of damp carbonic acid. The value of this substance may be gathered from the fact that man can live in an airtight box as long as any sodium peroxide re- mains unconverted. It is suggested that, by means of sodium peroxide, submarine boats will be able to re- main under water for considerably longer periods than hitherto has been possible. Just how long will be matter of calculation, the factors in the calculation being the amount of oxygen converted into carbonic acid by one man in one hour, the number of men present, and the weight of peroxide that can be carried. Used in mines, it should enable a miner to live with his head literally in bag of india rubber containing this perox- idle, whereby he can tide over period of danger.

CUTS OVER SMALL SUMS.
Vital Principles Often Involved Where Amount Seems Trifling.

A Georgia railroad and one of it's patrons have got as far as the su- preme court of that state with law suit in which the sum of money at issue is IS cents, but there is prin- ciple involved which both sides are determined shall be settled for all time, says the Boston Transcript.
 In Atlanta, as in most cities south of New England, one can not enter a train without exhibiting ticket and having it punched at the gates. An Atlanta man to aid a woman with good deal of hand baggage bought ticket to the nearest station beyond at the price named. It was stamped "redeemable if not used.' The pur- chaser before leaving the station pre- sented it for redemption, but this was refused. He then went to the local court, which decided in his favor. The railroad company then appealed to higher court, on the ground that in his purchase of the ticket he simply pretended to enter into a contract anu pui pOSO Woo IO uOhioUNs
 Again the purchaser obtained judgment and the case is now before the supreme court of Georgia. The principle of the plaintiff is that the railroad had no right to question his motives when he presented the ticket for redemption and that of the rail- road company is that the existence of the gate system is at issue.
 Highly important decisions have been based on issues involving very small money considerations. The su- preme court of the United States last winter gave a good deal of time and research to cause carried before it on appeal involving only SPA. A rail road was, in this case, the defendant. It owed one of its employees, train hand, this sum, which was attached and collected by one of his creditors. The employe eontended that the money was still due him and carried the case up to the highest tribunal in the land
 Our own famous Chief Justice Shaw wrote one of his most luminous ex- positions of legal principles in decid- ing a case which turned on the own- ership of bull calf. It is related that the bar snickered at the frequent repetition of the phrase the said bull calf," and the chief justice rebuked the laughing lawyer by saying: Gen tlemen, you do not reflect what bull calf may be to very poor family"
 Robert Browning went to law over the value of one bottle of wine, on the great principle that he would not be swindled for half a crown if he could help it. The kicker" is often the subject of ridicule, but kickers have helped the world along at times. Given a great scenic environ ment and the Kicker" becomes a his- torical parsonage of the first class. John Hampden would never have felt the amount of Ship money" assessed on his estate.

FINDS VIRTUE IN OLD CLOTHES.
Mems Garments Shaped to the Figure
 by Age Catch Artists Eye.

To the eye of the artist the gar ments of the modern man are only tolerable when age has adapted them somewhat to the lines of the figure; to the average artist a new suit of clothes is an abomination.
 Tt is not only that new clothes are Sore ugly than old,'' said knight of the palette who discussed the ques- tion; ito my mind no one can be prep erly easy or graceful in them.
 T never feel that properly know a man until I have met him wearing an old suit. Certainly no man can possi- bly, be his natural self in evening dress.
 q have noticed again and again how different the same people are when wearing different clothes. went, for instance, to large family gathering some time ago, and for some reason everybody had donned full evening dress. What a differ ence it made! We were all on terms of intimate friend ship, but somehow the clothes brought in an element of coldness and formality. We all felt it-even the women, although, of course, the fair sex are not easily per suaded of the merits of well-worn gar ments. But no man who has discov- cred the ease and comfort of them will readily give them up. AS for the artistic side of modern clothes, it only comes when they have mellowed by use.'

A NERVOUS WRECK
Mrs. Green Gained 2o Pounds and Recovered Her Health by Taking
 pr, WiIIiams' Pink Pills.

General debility is term that covers a multitude of cases where there IS no acute disease, yet the patient continues to lose strength and the doctors medi- cines have no apparent effect. This is the decline that leads to death If means are not found to check it. Ill a great majority of cases Dr. Williams Pink Pills will check it and restore hea vLknd strength because they actually make new blood and so send renewed vitality to every organ and tissue of the body.
 Mrs. $. A. Green, whose address is Box 29, R. F. D. No. 4, Franklin, Ga, says: "For three and a half years | suffered with weakness and nervous ness, complicated with stomach trouble. At times I was confined to my bed for periods ranging from three weeks to two months and was under the physicians care most of the time for three years. do not know the cause of my trouble but I was prostrated with weakness and, al- though took great deal Of medicine, nothing seemed to give me strength. At times my stomach hurt me something fearful and my head often troubled me. I was sleepless and what sleep l did get did not refresh me.
 "When l began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills, 1 weighed but 104 pounds. I knew was so bad that few doses would not cure me and 1 had patience. Soon the pills began to give me strength, my blood got in better condition, could sleepwell at night and help some with the homework. Now weigh 130 pounds and think nothing of walking half a mile. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done won- 1ers for me and the neighbors all know this statement is true."
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2 50, by the Dr. Williams Med- lcine Co.,, Schenectady, NY.

Wise Doctor Gives Postum to Con

A wise doctor tries to give nature it's best chance by saving the little strength of the already exhausted pa tient, and building up wasted energy with simple but powerful nourish ment.
 Five years ago." writes a doctor "1 commenced to use Postum in my own family instead of coffee. was so well pleased with the results that l had two grocers place it in stock guaranteeing it's sale.
 "I then commenced to recommend 1t to my patients in place of coffee as nutritious beverage. The conse quence is, every store in town is now selling ii. as it has become house hold necessity in many homes.
 I'm sure l prescribe Postum az often as any one remedy in the Ma teria Medica-in almost every case of indigestion and nervousness I treat, and with the best results.
 When I once introduce it into a family, it is quite sure to remain. ] shall continue to use it and prescribe it in families where I practice.

Wrote Love Notes for Maids.

Thomas Hardy, the novelist and poet, used to live, when he was a boy, with an aunt, and he was some times called upon to write love let tetrs for her dairy maids to~send to their sweethearts. In his novels he has made good use of his experience in the dairy, and his aunt was the original of one of his characters.
