1--we and MARRIAGE.

Love and marriage have naturally
deep and abiding influence over the
thoughts of woman. When the last
century was young early marriages
were very common and young girl
was frequently a wife and mother
several years before reaching the age
Of 20. Now it is an unusual occur.
rance for a girl to assume such re-
sponsibilities until we'll on in her
twenties, or perhaps thirties, and a
wise change it is, for upon consider
ing girls of Is and 16 at the present
day it would be an open question as TO
whether they would be willing to fore
go all the joy and happiness which
comes at no other period of life and
settle down into the house mother
Let the girls play golf and tennis, let
them row and dance. let them read
and study and fit themselves for the
greater work which comes with later
years. Let their judgment mature and
there will be fewer mistakes made in
choosing a life partner and less cause
for divorce.

GOING AND COMING.

~ OING-the great round sun.
~ Dragging the captive day
Over behind the frowning hill.
Over beyond the bay
Dying.
Coming-the dusky night,
Silently stealing in,
Wrapping himself In the soft warm couch
Where the golden haired day hath been
Lying.
GOING-the bright. blithe spring.
" Blossoms how fast yc fall!
Shooting out Of your starry sky
Into the darkness all
Blindly!
Coming-the mellow days.
Crimson and yellow leaves,
Languishing purple and amber fruits
kissing the bearded sheaves
Kindly!
GoING-our early friends.
VI Voices we loved are dumb.
Footsteps grow dim in the morning dew
Fainter the echoes come
Ringing.
Coming to join our march
Shoulder to shoulder pressed
Gray haired veterans strike their tents
For the faroff purple west
Singing!
COING-this old. old life.
VI Beautiful world. farewell!
Forest and meadow, river and hill,
Ring ye loving knell
Ger us!
Coming-a noblcr life;
Coming-a better land;
Coming-a long, long, nightless day;
Coming-the grand, grand

elATlVATlBG FERNS.
How They Can Be Raised and Kept
Flourishins.

Flourishins.
. Ferns are among the most graceful
and beautiful Of foliage plants. For a
shady .nookain the yard.during sum-
iner, for shaded window or for hall
decoration in winter the ferns viii be
found desirable plants, says Garden
Magazine.
/ They like a cooler atmosphere than
most plants grown for the window, and
for this reason a cool room or hall
suits them best. A temperature of
from so to 65 degrees is warm enough
for most of the greenhouse species.
Keep in light, moist, shady place and
as soon as the young plants are large
enough pick them out and pot in three
inch pots, placing half dozen In each
pot. AS they become larger they may
be potted singly.
When the ferns once are established
in pots do not repot them more than
once year and that invariably when
the plants are in dormant state. Un-
der no circumstances should the roots
be disturbed while growing. AS the
plants become larger the soil should be
more lumpy and coarse and should
consist of one-sixth part Of charcoal or
broken crockery, which will keep the
soil porous and sweet.
It is q mistake TO use large pots for
ferns. They will thrive with less root
room than the majority of cultivatet
plants. and it is not unusual for florists
to allow the plants to remain in the
same pot for more than one year. lr
this event, however, the SOL is en-
r!ched during the growing season by
liberal applications, of liquid manure.
Great care should be taken that the
plants do not suffer from dryness at
the roots. This will stunt them and
seriously injure their vitality.
Ferns are not attacked often by in
sects. The young fronds sometimes
are troubled by green fly, but this pest
can be effectually destroyed BY fumi-
eating, Swinging and washing. with
tobacco water. The scale insect-is the
worst foe and Is difficult to dislodge.
Repeated washing with camphor wa
ter or diluted alcohol when the plants
are at rest will be found effectual.

How TO Keep Honey.


Honey should always be stored in
warm place. II kept where it will be-
come cold it often granulates or, as the
process is more commonly described.
candied. Amateurs often place the
produce of their hives In 9cool location
and are surprised at the result. When
liquid .honey has granulated. says Sub
urban Life, it may be restored to it's
former condition by placing the re-
ceptacle in which it is contained in a
dish of hot water. Many, people who
buy liquid honey at the stores believe
that the honey has been adulterated If
they find it granulated. AS matter
of fact, this is one Of the best tests Of
its purity. a bottle Of so called honey
which has beep largely .adulterated
with glucose Will granulate but very
little. OF course it does not follow
that because the honey is not found to
be granulated it is not pure, for If kept
in warn place honey will often con-
tinue for q long time perfectly clear:
AS matter of fact, under the new
pure food laws there is comparatively
little danger Of purchasing adulterated
honey. Comb honey has never been
adulterated, in spite or the assertions
to that effect which often have ap-
peared in print The food value of
honey ought to be better known. 1t
can be used to great advantage in
cooking and can be especially recon-
mended as substitute for sugar, as it
places almost no tax On the kidneys.

cents. Soak it in warm water. turn
it inside out, when it will appear as
shown in figure 2; face that part of
the rim that is turned up with pink
satin, holding on the top and bottom.
sew a cord over this to conceal the
stitches, divide the rim into four parts,
bend it half way up and sew it in the
four parts designated, firmly to the
crown to form the four pockets; the
stitches can be made invisible with u
little pains You will need just half
a yard of satin for the facing. A bow
of pink ribbon is fastened on one eide
with three long ends. A little needle
book, thimble-case and emery made
of the ribbon, are attached to these.

How to Find a Gas Leak.

1t is unfortunately very usual to seek
for a gas leakage with lighted can
die, proceeding which is responsible
for many explosions. Instead open the
windows Of the room to let out the
obnoxious gas and admit the fresh air,
and mix pound of soap, cut in shaw
ings, with three and half pints OF
water and apply this sticky fluid to
the gas pipe with brush. The leak
in the pipe will be indicated by bub-
bles in the scapy application, and the
damage may be temporarily rectified
by rubbing the spot with cake OF
soap, softened by being used, which
will stop the leakage Of gas till the
plumber can arrive to execute per-
manent repair.

KEEP STEADY.

TN times like these. when copper slumps
End runs upon the banks begin,
When panic's knocking at the door
The nervous ones may let her In.
Hold fast to principles Of right,
Do not give way to deep despair.
Just keep your nerve
And do not swerve--
Keep steady there!
THOUGH wetered stocks are falling low.
L Our factories run day and night;
Though spectators fall today,
The honest traders are all right.
The wheels of commerce buzz all day;
New orders come from everywhere;
Just hold your grip.
y Oh, do not slip
Keep steady there!
TN times like these tits best to stop
1 And look about you here
While smoking chimneys still are seen
And hum of trade strikes on tie ear
It matters not what wall street does
Nor how the spectators scare,
Just go your way
From day to day
Keep steady there!

Where Girls are Cheap.

China is the great slave country Of
the world Of a population of 4O0,-
100000 there are slaves to the number
of 100000 Every family of means
keeps it's girl slaves, and mans po-
sit!on is usually gaused by the number
he keeps. At any age from three to
fifteen girls are sold. eight being the
age at which most change hands. The
girls are supposed to do housework. it
being cheaper to buy than to hire.
Slaves vary in price; $40 is about the
average, but much depends on the
girls appearance. A good looking
girl will fetch $40 or even S40.-De-

servants.
Don't repel their little condolences.
Don't get impatient at their most
unanswerable questions,
Don't indulge them foo!ishly.
Don't forget to encourage them and
praise their little efforts to please you.
Don't show favoritism, says Wo-

She heaps his board with the
sweets Of life;
He sleeps in bed that Is wide and soft,
But wrinkles are forming around his eyes.
And far away where the mists are gray
His boyhood lies.
Honor is his; he has won renown;
His place is high and his fame secure:
The world, when death shall have cut
him down,
Will raise a shaft that shall long en-

But his form Is bent and his eyes are dim.
And the careless joys that should be

Are not for him.

IN WINTER.

rT7HE summer pessed; the autumn
t.5 came;
The world swung over toward the
II night;
The forests. robed themselves in
fame.
Then faded slowly into white.
And, set within crystal frame
OF frozen streams, the shaggy boles
or oak and elm with leafless crowns.
Were painted stark upon the knolls,
And cots and villages and towns
In tawny red, or strove In vain
To shame the white in which they stood.
The fairest tint was but stain
Upon the snow that quenched the wood
And paved the street and draped the plain.

How to Loosen a Glass Stopper.

There are several ways of loosening
the glass shoppers Of bottles or de-
canters. One Is to stand the bottle In
hot water; another is to drop little
oil between the stopper and the de-
canter with a feather and set near the
fire. After a time strike the stopper
gently on all sides with piece Of
wood and If it does not move repeat
the process. A strip of flannel around
the neck Of the bottle. pulled back
ward and forward to produce friction,
will sometimes loosen shoppers.
