DRINK AND WOMAN.

In hospital ward a woman lay
Painfully gasping her life away;
So bruised and beaten you scarce could trace
Womanhood's semblance in form or face
Yet the hair that the pillow rolled
In tangled mass was like threads of gold:
And never a sculptor in any land
Nodded a daintier foot or hand
Said one who ministered to her need:
None but a coward could do this deed;
And what bitter hate could have nerved the
arm
That a helpless creature like this could
harm?"
Then the dim eyes, hazy with deaths eclipse
Slowly unlock, and the swollen lips
Murmured family: HE loves me we'll
My husband-'twas drfnl-be sure and tell
When he comes to himself-that I forgive;!
Poor fellow-for him I would like to live"
A shudder moan, the words were said
And drunkard's wife on the couch lay dead
fathers, who your daughters rear
Somebody's daughter is lying here!
brothers of sisters, come and see
What the fate of your precious one may be!
o man! however you love your home
Be it palace, cottage, meath heavens blue

For law strikes hands and bargains with sin.

Now hand them over the-sons you Sold

Our own reasons might be good ones and they

should attend the services of his house regularly

God and his church. 40 let us worship and

There is an earnest invitation and a cordial well

porch producing most beautiful effect, espe
cially at night when the flowers open as the
moonlight rests upon them.
The moon vine continually sends out shoots
from its base that seem to grow couple of feet
in day; these should be trained out in spread
wing fashion so that the space may be covered
in solid mass.
Everybody knows how pretty and fast climbing
the simple morning glories are with their vari-
gated flowers. Passion flowers with their radiant
blooms and heavy snowy leaves, besides the Ma
deria vines, should not, be neglected. The form
er thrives particularly well along brick walls, as
the little tendrils fasten themselves to the bricks
and cling of themselves when given proper sup
port at the start
Other attractive climbers are sweetpeas, with
their endless bloom and climbing nasturtiums
that require continual picking to insure lavish
Towering and which offer delightful punches of
cut flowers for all sorts of decoration.
WHAT TO PLANT AT THE BASE OF
HOUSE
A floral border extending along the sides of
the house adds much to its attractiveness. The
idea is to conceal the rigid outlines and artfully
unite it to the lawn and surrounding grounds.
But remember that it is easy to overdo the
matter.
The special mission of vines and ivys is to en-
phasize the architectural features of the house,
thus producing contrast of color and form.

VINES NATURES BEST BEAUTIFIERS.
Have you ever stopped to think how many un-

made beautiful under covering of cool green in

all the creatures that live in Arctic
regions clothed in white? The usual reply is
that the white color is for protective purposes
in order, in fact, to make them invisible to their
enemies in the midst of the wastes of snow
But, consider again--is this reasonable? From
whom does the polar bear need to hide? He
has no enemies to fear. And as for the birds
which assume white plumage when they mi
crate North surely they also have far fewer foes
in the polar regions than when farther south.
Again, if white be a cool color, this is surely
another reason against the inhabitants of the
codest regions turning white at the approach OF
winter. It is easy to strengthen this argument.
Visit the tropics and you will find hardly any
white animals or birds. In the very hottest
regions of the globe not only is man, as a rule,
black, but the birds and bears are either very
dark or else extremely brilliant in color.
LAND BIRDS DARK; SEA BIRDS WHITE.
OF tropical birds the commonest colors run as
follows: Brown, dark green and dark blue, emer-
aid green, reds and yellows. Speaking of birds
again, why is it that land birds are mostly dark
hued while SO many sea birds are white?e
Here is another color puzzle. Almost all song
birds are somber in hue while the brightly-col-
ored species such as the jays, the parrots and
The colors of flowers and leaves offer numbers
of interesting problems. No one quite knows
why the prevailing tint of early spring flowers is
either white or yellow. Yellow, indeed, holds its
own to some extent all through the summer but
the typical color of summer blooms is pink, while
as the autumn advances richer crimsons and all
the rich glowing hues of dahias and chrvsan.

Horticulturists have produced poppies of pretty
nearly every shade under the sun and with many
flowers they seem able to alter the colors almost
as they please Yet the blue rose the blacl,

ever they were, in spite of constant efforts to
arrive at them. Nearly three centuries ago
Dutch gardeners imagined themselves on the
verge of inventing black tulip.

The brilliancy of tropical landscape seems in

Of arguments may be deduced against it. Rubies,
onals and other exquisite gems are dug from the
depths of the earth. The rays of the sun have
never touched them. The pulp of some fruits is
more richly tinted than the outer rind while
the crimson blood of animals is hidden from the

Most everybody goes in for gardening these
days, whether carried out on modest or eab-
crate scale and the outdoor worker is very sure
to find it a profitable recreation that brings
wholesome enjoyment, benefting her physically
as well as mentally.
The average city yard may not offer encourag-
ing prospects with its grim walls and bare
fences, but it is easily transformed into a very
delightful retreat with an intelligent distribution
of vines, bushes, Towering beds and borders; and
all for modest outlay that will surely not cripple
the most meagre income.
OF course a suburban or country gardener has
more interesting field of endeavor and a
broader scope for beautifying his grounds, but

ANIMALS AND PERENNIALS.
Every flower enthusiast knows that there are
two great classes in flowers, ANIMALS and 9eren
malls. The former bud, bloom and die In one
year, the latter when once planted may be re-,
tanned for years, even generations with proper
care.
Many people who have only small amount of
ground at their disposal apt to use ANIMALS
to great extent and consequently have to re-
sort to buying and planting seeds and bulbs
every year. Our ancestors displayed more Wis
dom and in every old homestead our grandmoth.
ers' gardens contained either prim old.fashioned
flowers with box edgings or stately border OF
bright flowers that lent peculiar charm.
On the other hand, when ANIMALS are planted a
different color scheme may be put into practice
every, year, therefore great variety prevails.

out of place to add that platonic, flal, parental

When the walls change their direction, as in
the case of winding walks, this offers the best
place for planting. Different varieties of plants
are required for corner and angles of a house.
Flowering vines and climbers such as Honey
suckles roses, should be planted in the shelter
of the angle, where the wind cannot have free
play at them. While at the exposed corners
choose shrubery of sturdy growth, but not too
tall, SO that it may better withstand the tricks
OF wind and storm. Between the corners and
angles of the house, groups of perennials and an
nuals should be banked along the walls. The
front of house is made particularly attractive
by border of blooms Of two or more heights.
The shady side of the house may have its ar
ray of festive bloom in such plants as the Eng
lish ivy, and honeysuckle as vine creepers and
as border plants, lilies of the valley, pansies,
violets, myrtle and anemones. Hardy ferns, too,
should be placed in a cool, shady side Of the
house.
With good soil and sunshine and not too much
water, there are quantities of plants that will
thrive in the sun and give an endless variety of
bloom
NOTHING CAN EXCEL THE BEAUTY OF
BORDER.
The amateur gardener soon learns chat in all
branches of landscape gardening it is not so much
What is planted as How it is planted. When

flowers at disadvantage, while less preten
