RAISING GARDEN HERBS.
This Is Practical Occupation Open
to Woman Thrown on Her
Own Resources.

Among the practical occupation
open to women that are thrown upoI
their own resources without preyiou,
training in any sort OF business is thai
OF raising garden herbs.
There has never been q sufficiency o,
seasoning herbs to be had at any mar.
ket; parsley, thyme. sweet marjoram
bay leaf, mint, are always In demand
by those who know their value In the
proper cooking of savory dishes. Their
raising Is neither difficult nor expen.
sive. A small piece Of ground will sup
ply any large private market establish.
ment or green grocer, and 1t is worb
that even delicate woman can under.
take.
But she must, first of all, instruct
herself In the nature of the soil need.
cd, the amount of sunshine, water and
general habits of the things she Is
going to raise. To do this it Is only
necessary for her to visit any good Ii.
brary and study books on the subject
making notes and really learning, Just
as If she werc at school.
Then she must study how to get the
very best plants for her purpose; all
florists and agriculmrists are glad to
send catalogues for the asking, and
while the gorgeous cuts exaggerate the
fecundfty and appearance of their
wares, such catalogues are a help.
Once she knows the right soil to pre-
pare, the rest Is easy. II she has nc
boy neighbor to call upon to measure
and define the various beds, she can
simply tie stout cords to sticks stuck
in the ground to keep one variety from
running over the other. The spadins
she may have to hire done, and the
pulverizing OF the soil, which is very
essential to success, most failures be-
Ing due to the caking Of imperfectly
prepared ground that either carries on
the water that is applied or allows II
to stand without penetrating the earth
to reach the roots of thirsty plants.
Take the fragrant garden mint as |
very fair example of an herb that Is |
well worth cultivating. 1 have seen q |

over 12-foot square Of ground, and its |

The night was made for love,
the morning for reflection.
By B. L. TAYLOR
With some extracts from the unpub-
hshed work of the late Walter
Blackburn Harte.
Copyright. 1906. by Joseph b. Bowles.)

The night was made for love,
the morning for reflection.
A man never understands the
other sex so little as when he is
In love with one particular men,
Der of it.
The most permanent note In
literature is the sad note. The
sense of humor and the factors
OF optimism must surely change
with the changing times. But
that which echoes the spiritual
sadness, always resident in hui
man life, is forever permanent.
And this no times can change.
The daring spirit and the i'm
agination of men will always
strive to seek in words some
sympathetic echo of that which
clamorS In the silence Of their
lives.
Most men get a second copy OF
illusions like a second set Of
teeth, and this second set 10
really the tough set, intended
for chewing the bitter cud of re-
Election in this world.
Your very learned critics, In
measuring too much, are likely
to miss the spirit of literature.
They are too much like me-
chanical experts or juries who (
do not get the whole of the evil )
dence.
A woman may bully her hus-
band for love. to secure his pros Z
perity, comfort and interests. A {
man usually DULLES his wife be-
cause circumstances deny him \
the privilege Of bullying those he Z
meets outside of his own home. \
The poor have more hope than 3
the rich, for with them it is a X
continual exercise. B
The only way to lend money 3
or anything else is to lend It 9
with the spirit of giving-never =
expecting to see it back again. &
Then IL It comes back, it comes 9
with all the pleasure Of a pres 3
emit. .

kind of precious stone, comparatively
rare. Now epigrams are as common as
glass beads. and strings OF them are

fetch. There is really nothing cheaper
