recognize the great right given me UNI
der the Constitution and the Declare
ton of Independence, that l have a
right to say who shall take part in the
administration of the affairs of my
country. [ realize that party organi-
zatlon was necessary at the commence
ment of our great American republic
to start the wheels of administration,
and that with differences of opinion
among men then, at least two organiza-
tons had to be formed, and that the
Wings and Federalists of that dav have
given way to the Democrats and Re-
Publicans of the present day. 1t was
those early differences which caused
the electorate to align themselves in
favor of Adams or of Jefferson, and
the differences as to men and policies
have kept them aligned to the present
day in at least two organizations.
If | considered the managers of the
parties, whether in national or local af-
fairs, infallible, I should accept their
of candidates without com |
ment or criticism; but infallibility is
not accepted altogether as a basis of |
personal analysis of mat,
ters political or religious. Even the
Roman ideal of the infallibiiitv of the |
Holy Father in the Vatican is not so I
nodernly accepted in toto as it was in

We see cuHrtry homes. one after an

Sometimes We judge 1t Is because the

because Of the lack of love for flowers
that they are missing. says Mrs. Z. Y
Gordon Of Lamar county. Tex. in the
Farm and Ranch. Every home should
have it's flowers One should take
time to care for few at least 1t re-
ouires very little time to plant and
care for a hardy flower, and that flow
er will afford pleasure and beauty for
many days in the year. Flowers ap-
peal to our finer taste, and in the cul-
tivation of them we become more re-
fined. The front yard should have good
walks and we'll arranged flower beds,
and these should be kept clear of
weeds and grass If possible. The back
yard should never be neglected. 1t is
just as important factor, if not more
so, In the everyday life Of the home
maker as the front yard All weeds
and rubbish should be removed and
trees and flowers of value planted.
1t has been our lot to be thrown into
some communities where the average
farmer greatly neglected the appear
ance Of his farm and seemed to be pos
sessed with q don't care disposition
and to be endowed with very poor
ideas Of refinement.
There is so much left undone which
could be done with profit and added
comfort. Our farms would be much
more attractive If all fence rows,
orchards and back lots were kept
clear of weeds and grass. Gates and
barn doors should be well made and
hinged, not propped. Fence wires
where they are loose at every other
post should be stapled up. These are
small things, but they mar the beauty
Of the farm. Our farms are often
destitute Of trees This should not be.
There is time wasted unthoughtfully
which could be used in putting out
trees around yards. lots, fences and In
pastures. "In all labor there Is profit"

A Royal Goose.

According to Il Paris contemporary,
It used to be the custom to play cha
rades at the court of Berlin, but they
do not do so any more. 1t is all Prince
Henry's fault. Prince Henry is an
inveterate joker and the "enfant ter
rible" of the German royal family.
Last year after the Christmas eve
supper at the palace of POtsdam the
empress proposed that they should play
at charades She commenced and,
placing a silver spoon before her eyes,
looked at it fixedly.
''What does that signify" she asked
Il looking at that silver spOOnY
One after the other the guests were
questioned. Not one Of them could
find the exact solution, and each had
to pay the fine demanded. At last it
came to Prince Henry's turn.
"Loffelgans," said he.
"Loffelgans" is the name Of a sort
of goose whose bill resembles a spoon,
a species very common in Germany.
The empress turned pale with anger,
while the guests bit their lips, A few
seconds later her majesty rose and re
tired to her apartments. The solution
which she had in her mind was, "Sil
berblick." regard d'argent." Charades
have not been played by the German
royal family since.-LOndOn Globe.

A Bone Library.

Students in one of the New York hos
pitals are preparing to start a bone liz
brary, modelled on one they have in
Paris. From now. on by paying SO a
year a student may take out two bones
at a time from any portion of the hu-
man frame.
1T is a good idea, this bone library" ."
said one Of the students. I'm the past
you had to buy your bones if you want
ed to study them, and they were eX-
pensive, for the cleaning and bleaching
processes are tedious and costly Hence
many students Of anatomy had no
bones Of their own. As for the impOr
tant bones, they were beyond the reach
of nearly all. A good skull, you know,
costs $50 or $40. A good skeleton costs
$75 and more. But with a bone library
every student may work on his osteolo-
gy with the bones right there before
him. In the library you will see one
returning a parietal bone and taking
out a sternum, another exchanging
radius for an ulna, a third bringing
back a tibia and carting off a clavicle."
