G TRANGERS in strange land have
- every reason to feel that Uncle Sam
is doing his best to get them located
in places where they will find the
greatest benefits. This Is clearly
shown by the facts and figures which
set forth the work of the division of
information of the bureau of immigra-
ton and naturalization. This bureau
is succeeding in remarkable way in
diverting hundreds of poor aliens from
crowded centers Of the country to fer
tile farms and other places where
there is big demand for that class of
laborers. This bureau is charged by
an act of congress with the great I'M

immigration service in New York city.
The method employed is to send cut
cards to all persons unable to secure
necessary help, including farm labor

Whatever kind of help is needed is in
Dictated by the replies on the return
postal cards. About 100000 cards have
been scattered broadcast over the
country, and it is estimated that alto
gerber about 100000 cards will be
sent out in the near future. From the
first of February last to the close of
June, nearly 1000 aliens and others
were sent in response to applications
to various parts of the country TWen-

this distribution and the employment

bounds. The lounge suit has ceased
to lounge on the back of its wearer,
and color reigns in waistcoats, ties,

The ToiIer'e Prayer.

The ToiIer's Prayer.
A little time to think, o Lord,
Midst all the toll and strife,
To learn the hidden meaning
OF this that we call life.
To learn the beauty of the field;
To contemplate the sky;
To tread, in thought, the milky way
When Thou and night art nigh.
It doth not honor Thee, o Lord,
To turn the tired thought
Upon Thy works, and, passive, see
The glory Thou hast wrought;
To mix with weary signs, the joy,
Born OF the sunset hour,
To feel defrauded, even when
We feel Thy love and power.
give us our daily bread" O Lord
Nor let it take the best
OF brain and Drawn, Of toll and
thought,
OF which we are possessed.
With genrous fire, with love divine,
o fill the hearts of men;
And teach them of the toiler's need
Yea, teach them once again;
Mayhap it will not be in vain
The world may cry, Amen!

nov TO ARRANGE n CORNER
" or TIE LINING ROOM 90

FURNISHING the corners of room
Z is not so simple a task as it seems.
The important thing to bear in mind
is that the four corners must harmon
Ice with the rest of the room and with
one another. If each is arranged in
different way, one general idea
should be followed. The suggestion
given in the accompanying illustration
for arranging corner is an excellent
one to copy where simplicity and COM
fort are desired. There is no hint OF
stiffness in the arrangement and the
corner seat is made to break up that
abrupt finish so often seen in bullt-fn
seats.
Instead of the corner seats ending
like a divan or veranda seat they are
Joined to tall pieces of furniture. On
the left a high three-cornered cabinet
is built into the wall at ap angle of
the room and at the other end another
niece of furniture Of different shape
and height is placed against the ends
of the corner bench. A window on
hat side breaks up the broad expanse
Of the walls. This window is almost
square and is hung with stenciled cur
tains made of the same material as
that covering the corner seat and
cushions. A serviceable material in
use now for country houses is a
coarse Oriental grass cloth of rather
uneven weave and in plain colors.
Unless a room is quite large figured
effects do not look well. Where the
material is repeated in the hangings
and the rest of the furnishings 1t
should be chosen with the utmost
care. One soon tires of striking col

Enisconal Wit.

"Our Bishop Burgess" said Garden
City man, is one of the few American
clergymen who. being graduates Of the
famous University of Oxford, are en-
titled to wear the Oxford hood.
AT certain service another bishop,
also an Oxford man, nodded toward
the officiating clergyman and wis
pered excitedly to Bishop Burgess:
Why, look, he has got an Oxford
hood on
$50 he has, said Bishop Burgess.
"But he is not entitled to it. He
has no Oxford degree, exclaimed the
first bishop. Why. the man is wearing
lie on his back
Hush said Bishop Burgess. Don't
call it lie. Call 1t false hood"

OF course, all those who believe in
the intellectual superiority Of the
Caucasian race are prepared to ex-
plain how it happened that a 1S-year-
old colored girl Won the public school
championship in spelling at the nation
al education convention at Cleveland.
Their notion is that this little negro
girl has now about reached the age
before which black children are as
mentally bright as white children, If
not brighter, while after it they are apt
to lapse into comparative dullness,
their continued brain development be-
ing prevented by the early closing OF
their skull sutures. 1t is an ingenious,
II not an altogether convincing, theory,
remarks the Boston Herald. And yet
It may reasonably he doubted If this
little colored girl ever forgets how to
spell.

We consider this work of special i'm.

wise dry Not only is this tillage nee
esssry in order that proper moisture
conditions be preserved, but the sur

those conditions favorable to the pro-
cesses Of soil life which change the
elements of plant food from an In
soluble to q soluble form-that is to
say put it in such shape that it may
be assimilated by the plants.

seemingly not of any significance, as

there is no time quite so favorable

The Linen Wedding.

When the twelfth year of welded
life has been achieved, it is time to
celebrate the linen anniversary.
This is an occasion much beloved by
housewives, for was there ever a
woman who did not glory in her linen
closet? For the invitations use
squares of linen written with indelible
ink. The name cards may be done the
same way. If possible, cover the floors
with canvas, drape chairs and couches
with white and hang white portieres.
The host and hostess should don pure
white for this occasion, and the dear
little blue fax flower should be used
as a table decoration. A miniature
spinning wheel makes pretty center
piece.
The art of spinning has been re-
vived, and if one is not numbered
among the family treasures perhaps
one may be borrowed for the evening,
and then great amusement is afforded
by arranging spinning contest.
The prize is awarded to the guest
who can spin the most perfect thread
in FIVE minutes time. Each thread
when finished to be tagged with the
makers name and fastened to square
of black cloth hung on the wall. Later

Nine. Merri has been renewing her

This is a wonderful season for
clover, and so the inspiration came for
this party, which anyone can carry
out who is within reach of clover
blooms.
For decorations use red and white
clover in great masses on the porch,
in the rooms and for a center piece.
The latter would be lovely of the ex-
quisite pink and white clovers. 1t is
beautiful variety, which if sold at so
much dozen hostesses would spend
their last cent to get it. Then let
the children weave clover chains (per-
haps you'd like to make them your
self, as | did, sending your mind back
to the time when a crown of clover
was the height of elegance). Use
these dainty chains as garlands over
the table, or from the overhead lamp
to the center. Of course, this affair
is informal, with the guests in tub
suits as befit summer functions.
Serve everything cold as far as
possible. Have cold thinly sliced ham,
veal loaf, Saratoga potatoes, sliced
tomatoes and cucumbers on water
cress sandwiches, individual moulds
Of gelatine topped with whipped
cream, iced tea, and add clover honey
with tiny hot biscuits to this repast
and you have a menu fit for the gods.
