WISE WORDS.

An argument is the preface to a
quarrel.
To err is human--to lie about it is
more human.
He is indeed a busy man who can
never find time to find fault.
Girls are fond of attention; mar
ried women are fond of contention.
Many a rich man is unable to offer
anything better than poor excuse.
The more sunshine there is in
some mems lives the less hay they
make
The average girl declines to marry
a lot of men because they neglect to
ask her.
Even an optimist is apt to back
slide when he has a boil on the back
of his neck.
Our idea of an impossible man lis
one who hasn't bit Of foolishness in
his makeup.
It's usually the man who hasn't
much money who wants people to
think he has lot.
No wonder the way of the trans
gressor is hard when one considers
the amount of travel thereon.
And when a man bumps up against
hard luck ne always blames some
other fellow for showing him.
Probably the undertaken never
would get some people if they could
live until they acquired wisdom
Most people find fault with their
neighbors in order to get even with
neighbors who find fault with them.

Washington and General HoWe's Dog.
While the British occupied PhiladeL
pilia and the American force lay in
winter quarters at Valley Forge, sayS
writer in the Ladies Home Journal,
one day, as Washington and his stan
were dining, a fine hunting dog, which
was evidently lost, came to seek some
thing to eat. On it's collar was the
name General Howe" Washington
ordered that the dog should be fed,
and then he sent it to Philadelphia
under a flag of truce, with letter
reading: General WashingtOn's COM
pliments to General Howe. He does
himself the pleasure to return to him
a dog which accidentally fell into
his hands, and by the inscription on
the collar, appears to belong to Cen
eral Howe" The British commander,
In reply, sent a cordial letter convey
ing his warm thanks for this act OF
courtesy of his enemy.

GROWING HELIoTROPE.

Heliotrope must have considerable
heat, lots Of sunshine and plenty OF
water. 1t has a great mass of very
fine roots, and these often prevent
the water from penetrating the soil
sufficiently to meet the requirements
Of the plant To be perfectly sure
that the water reaches the lowest
roots, it will be a good plan to run
coarse wire through the mass OF
roots at the base of the plant. Run
it through from all sides, thus open
ing up little channels through which
the water will run ana moisten the
entire mass of roots and soil. 1t is
often from lack Of proper moistening
of the soil that failure with this plant
Is due.

POINT JUDITH.
Less OF Life Due to Life-savers Not
Being Able to Launch Boat.

being AulG 10 Alduncn IbOAIs
Shippings first taste of real winter
for this season was felt along the ATT
lantic seaboard last week and evil
denced in disaster, accident and de-
lay, which overlook the smaller craft
of all kinds more particularly. The
wreck OF the schooner Lugano at
Point Judith in a heavy northeast
gale, whereby three members of her
crew were lost within 500 yards of
the life-saving station, emphasizes
again the urgent need of completing
the partially constructed breakwater
at that point, as no protected land
ing where they can launch their boat
has yet been provided for the life
savers. The breaches buoy was re-
sorted to, but proved Intellectual to
save any Of the imperilled men. The
Lugano was a two-masted schooner
built at East Machias Me, in 1867,
Of about liza tons burden and typical
OF the hundreds of vessels of her
class, which should have harbor of
refuge under their lee six months
OF the year at least
This loss of life is another that can
be laid directly to the dilatory ac-
lions that have been pursued at Point
Judith; as launching place to en-
able the life-savers at that dangerous
point to launch safely their boat in
times of rough weather was one of
the conditions that Congress demand
ed when it passed the act of 1902,
reiterated it by another act of Con-
gress dated March 8, 1905. Had the
instructions Of Congress been carried
to the assistance of the Lugano and
taken her entire crew off safely, as
she was sighted early in the after
noon and recognized to be unmanage-
able. 1t seems to be up to Congress
to ascertain why its mandates have
not been carried out, and in view of
the fatal consequences already re-
corded and the possible repetition of
such with every storm of the APP
preaching winter, to brook no further

The first time should be just before

ORNAMENTAL POT PLANTS.

Do not miss having small patches
of sage, mint, thyme and other pot
plants Parsley can be grown from
seed the first year, and will last two
or more seasons, if cared for Spear
mint will grow and increase from
few plants, and will thrive on a damp
location. Sage, if once established,
will remain for years. Pot plants
take up but little room and can be
made ornamental in a garden.

ALL HEARTS IN GIRLS ROOMS.

If you are sentimental, dear girl,
and don't mind admitting the fact
you may have all the accessories of
your toilet table heart shaped. Tables
of that soulful design in white
enamel, with mirrors of the same
form, are seen now, and, Of course,
the old heart-shaped cushions and
pin trays have not lost bit of their
old vogue. Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth
has a heart-shaped room for her girl
guests, and it is one of the cheeriest
apartments imaginable. Bright red
hearts, forming staple background,
give a Valentines Day look to every
thing. Even the cherry backed rock
ers follow the design. Garlands Of
roses adorn the frieze, which is
