PLEASURES OF GARDENING.

Even ON n Small City Lot Something
May Be Raised.
Whoever owns an unincumbereu
square rod Of land is in possession OF
some 90 square feet of possibilities
capable of realization In globes of pear
" onions, spheres of iuddy tomatoes,
and toothsome mouthfuls of corn that
will come to the pot with the dew OF
early morning still beading their sur
face and the crispness of fresh and Wig
orous growth In the heart of them.
The towns or city lot Of by II rods
will afford enough garden space to sup
ply an ordinary family with fresh veg
etables from June till October, accord
ing to the Home Magazine.
Not all, or even half, of this space
will be found available for garden pur-
poses, however, some two rods must be
set off for front lawn, and the house
must be accorded a depth of a rod
and half to two rods, according to
its size and pretensions- Then there
will usually be couple of rods IN the
rear devoted to grass and flowers, so
that the available garden space will, IL
not encrcached upon by outhuildings,
approximately be something like twen-
ty square rods, or $4,000 square feet
an amount which under careful and
intensive culture, will give generous
returns.
In laying out the garden the conser-
walton of space will be of first import
ance, hence it will not be practicable
to grow the melons and cucumbers on
the ground, as few vigorous plants
would pre-empt the entire garden
space, being set four feet apart In the
hills for the cucumbers and six. for
melons. A compromise is effected by
planting the smaller varieties Of mel
ons, such as the ROCKFORD or Little
Gem, both the most delicious OF mel
ons, along the rear or boundary fence
or on trelIis erected for the purpose.

The belts of the season, One pauses
to contemplate, but to pause too long
is to become bewildered by the variety
and winsomeness OF the designs and
styles offered. A narrow belt of black
patent leather clasped with modest
pearl or brass buckle is quite as
modish as the wider and more expen-
sive belt of seal equipped with gold
buckle, or the wide steel studded belt
of black elastic, the adoption of which
by smart dressers promises to insure
an elastic belt furore.

1t is by far the wlsest policy to get
all possible sewing done before the hot
summer days arrive, when one is dis
inclined for any exertion. All lingerie

Gus supply is always needed, especially

When sending a dress to be dyed, If
the drop skirt is silk, cut it out just
below the belt, for dyeing takes all
the body out of the taffeta after it has
been worn for time, and besides, the
dyers charge much more IL the drop
skirt is left in. A new petticoat is
what the dress will need when remod-
eled, and the old one can be saved and
patched up for general wear as q sep

out the hem of the dress to circumvent

A poor girl noted for her prudence

dering the problem of whether to buy
an umbrella. which she needs very
much, but doesn't at all want, or an
Angora kitten, which she doesn't exact
ly need, but wants so much that ii
keeps her awake nights. The other
day she settled it to her own satisfac-
ton by deciding on the kitten, which
she thinks is ever so much more prac-
teal than an umbrella, because you
can only use an umbrella when it Is
raining, but a kitten you have with you
always. Besides, you can borrow an
umbrella, but nobody would lend an

Miss Irene Osgood, of Northwest,
University, says that in 1903 there
were only two women employed in a
big tannery in Milwaukee. Now there
are 800 girls working there. The
wages of the men have been reduced
20 cents day. There are also many
women in the breweries, and, in the
opinion of Miss Osgood, this is very
detrimental to the moral status of the
girls employed.

Food for Babes.

Do not at any time force or urge
milk or solid food upon the child; If
he should refuse part or the whole of
feeding, let that meal go, and do
not give any food until the next feed
ing hour comes, says Mariana Wheel
er. the famous baby expert of Harper's
Bazaar
For the first twenty-four hours after
birth very little food is necessary feed
the infant about once in five hours. If
it is possible, the baby should be
nursed by the mother. as the nourish-
ment it receives from her contains GER
tain ingredients which are necessary
to cleanse the stomach and intestinal
tract of the newly born, as well as TO
stimulate the digestive juices to activ-
ity.
If for some good reason it is not
possible for the mother to nurse her
child, give as substitute little boil
ed water slightly sweetened. or thin
Cruel dextrinized. After the first
thirty-six hours milk can be given in
dilute form. Cows milk can be
diluted, plain or in the form of top
milk. The diluent should be thin Cruel
or boiled water.

CHAPTER XvIII.-(Continusa.

u
Audrey fortunately knew nothing of
the dislike and anger she was causing.
By and BIZ she found the atmosphere
very close, for an awning had been raised
on deck that formed an impromptu ball
room; and bidding the few around her a
hasty goodnight" she slipped away,
needless that Beverley Rochfort was
watching her and was following close be-
hind her.
Once outside the awning Audrey drew
deep breath. A few couples were stroll
Ing to and fro. but she passed them and
went swiftly aft.
Had she been less dazed and weary she
might have wondered at the sound of a
slight cry quite close, but she was think
ing of Jack, and all else was lost upon
her.
Il will just breathe some air and then
60 below" she said to herself 1T was
sitting in therel"
She stood looking over the moonlit
waters for moment, and then turned to
60. As she did so, she was suddenly
blinded, a sense of horrible fear and help
lessnes came over her, a strong. sickly
smell penetrated to her BRAIN She tried
to scream, TO struggle-in vain. Her
limbs lost their strength, her brain reeled
she knew no more.
There was great connection on board
the Mona that night. By some mis-
chance Lady John Glendurwood had lost
her footing, and had fallen overheard
into the still. deep waters below, and,
by a miracle of mercy, Beverley Roch-
fort had been near at hand. had plunged
into the water. and. at risk of his own
life, had succeeded in saving hers.
This was the news that was telegraph
ed to John Glendurwood up in Scotland.
and which caused his cheeks to turn
ashen gray, and then made him rush
wildly to the station, en- route for the
south, while Audrey lay still and white
on her luxurious cabin bed, carefully
watched by Mrs. Hungerford and Lady
Daleswate-, whose usually impassive
>eountenance was pale and perturbed.
''The shock to the nerves fas been very
great" said the doctor, who was sum
moned hastily: ''but for Mr.. Rochfort's
bravery, my dear Lady Daleswater, her
ladyship would not be alive now"
In dim, far-of way Audrey heard all
this and pondered over it. She tried to
ransack her brain to account for the &C
cident, but in vain. Even when Jack
came, and she felt his arms holding her
close to his beating heart. her memory did
not clear; she could tell him nothing, for
she knew nothing herself: it only trou-
bled her to think about it. So Jack took
the doctors advice and refused to allow
any more questions

words, but as ne was alone. he walked
to the edge of the yacht and looked

Influence % the Politicians WIFI
1t has ohm been asked how muC

Influence % the Politicians Wife.
1t has oshpn been asked how much
influence the wife of a public man
bears on his political career. This is
hard to estimate; but this much Is
certain: The man who comes to Wash
ington, either as a member of Con-
gress or of some other branch of the
Government where his position Is one
of prominence, is very unfortunate IL
his wife is not one whom he can trust
to make her way socially. Not neces-
sarily being great social success but
capable OF mingling with the average
woman at the national capital For,
in spite of the fact that a small per-
centage of society looks leniently upon
the married couple who are seldom
seen in public together, the average
sound American believes in the COM
radeship of man and wife.
But when we sum up this question
of the influence of women in statecraft
we quote as exceptions cases such as
the Storer and the Townley affair, and
pass the judgment that, on the whole,
the influence of woman in statecraft
is for good Being impulsive, she is
apt to make mistakes now and
then which cause the more logical
males to laugh at her.; but as rule
she is pretty sure of her footing be-
fore she attempts to make the jump
across the political stream that divides
womankind from mankind. = Home
