example, couple Of rapidly growins
trees which are beautiful to look upou
and very popular with majority q
people are the silver maple and the
Carolina poplar. Both Of these are
not only short lived and require much
water, but they are more frequamtly
devastated by windstorms, attacked
by insects and subject to disease thAn
the more hardy varieties. You want
trees which stand the storms at w.

Then too, with servants, the hasty word of
reproof may mean months notice. and telling
the cook that dinner served up cold may
lead to having to cook your own dinner for a
week, or go without one.
1t is better to bear the minor ills of daily
life in silence than to openly chafe against them,
and, however well ordered your house, however
devoted your husband, however well trained
your servants there will be things which cause
you irritation and which you will do well to
ignore.
l don't advocate peace at any price" but
do say that the hasty word often leads to a
quarrel, and the quarrel effectually changes the
home from the pleasant place to purgatory.
Suppose your husband says he will come home
at four O'Clock and go with you to make call,
and you wait fully dressed for an hour, before
reproaching him and telling him he is inconsid-
crate and unpunctual it is just as we'll to see if
he has not some good excuse-to hear if he has
not been detained by unavoidable business.
If the maid is late in it is better to ask her
gently why she is late than to storm at her and
say that if it occurs again she will have to leave.
If any of the children have fallen into the
bath while sailing paper boats it is just as well
to remember that the knowledge that water vets
is more likely to deter the young hopeful from
another attempt than whippings and seedlings.
If it is important to say little possible
when one knows oneself to be angry, it is ten
thousand times more essential to be very careful
what one writes. The spoken word even if ut
tered in the heat of temper is forgiven and for
gotten but the written word lives on and repro
vokes bitterness every time it is remembered or
re-read
Never write letter in a temper, or If you
do never post it. Keep it couple of days, and
then re-read it, and you will commit it to the
flames and thank heaven you stayed your hand
in time.
More lives have been wrecked more old friend
ships broken, by means of letters sent OIL in
the rush of anger-containing bitter words OF
taunts which ranke-than in any other way
Set a close watch upon your mouth when you
feel your temper giving way, and if you WISH
TO write and tell your friends your husband
"just what you think" go for long walk hrst
| A domestic breach is very hard to close SC
make up your mind you will not allow one IN
your home; and when the hot words rise to
your lips, keep them back, and then when you
look back you will have less to regret than most
people.

quer, as a woman, with painted cheeks and
frills and furbeows; Charles TX, was ideally
happy when he introduced ten young thieves to
the Louvre and watched them rob his guests of
their jewelry and swords; while Charles II, of
Spain, a curious contrast to his successor of to-

Peter the Great once attended a masked ball
in London disguised as a butcher, and thorough
ly enjoyed the novel experience; while on anoth-
er occasion he joined party of carol-singers and
pocketed the contributions of his subjects with
much satisfaction. Charles III used to wander
about the country in the dirtest of disguises ac-
companied by a retinue of equally i-clad bullies.
He would "assail all he met in the coarsest terms.
and when some person assaulted more impatient
than others, fell upon him in return with tongue
or cudgel he would laugh till he was sore, and
then his escort came to the rescue"
When Joseph H. Emperor of Germany, visited
Moscow it was as avant-courier to his own row

used to frequent the most obscure cafes, playinp

in the business
There is old man, pensoner from the
army, who lives at Greenwich who is allowed by
publcans and refreshment contractors, at out
door fetes and the like, to take their old corks
but he spends most of his time with net near
the river side, fishing up corks of all kinds.
Anyone who has not carefully marked the state
of the river at low tide, would be surprised at
the immense quantity of this species of aotsam.
When found, the corks sorted and, accord
ing to quality, sold; the general dealers, who
buy vast quantities, existing by the riverside and
doling out scanty pittance to the gatherers.
Without going into hundred odd uses for
comparatively small quantities of the better quail
ty it may be said that most of the corks
used by the manufacturers of linoleum and floor
cloth.
A great number also used for packing be-
tween the plate in iron ships and in con-
nection with the setting of boilers However
many of these small articles the searchers may
pick up, there is always a market for them.
