Erankness In Invitations.

Among curiosities which are models
of frankness is the following:
Lord and Lady Spencer request the
honor of - company at dinner at
half past 6 o'clock on -. An answer
is particularly desired. Nobody waited
for after z o'clock"
On many invitations the time was, OF
course, stated, and "a polite answer
requested" or sometimes ga reply
would oblige," but the letters ''R. 3.
V. p" were hardly ever used at this
date, their first mention being in 1871,
on the card of Lord and Lady Kerry.
Indeed, till quite recently can answer

and it is only in the last thirty years
that the French form has been at all
generally adopted in England.-Wind-

Sweet Peas From the Frame.


Here is what a woman did last year
with her cold frame that she might
have her favorite sweet peas before
they possibly could be grown outdoors:
She put in the seed early in October.
sowing it in rows two feet apart in
soil two feet below the glass. By the
beginning of winter the plants were
five or six inches high, then remained
dormant until spring, when they grew
slowly.
AS the plants and vines began to-
grow short brush was used to support
them until they reached the glass,
when the sash was removed and the
rows were given tall support
While care was taken to protect the
frames in the bitterest weather, the
plants suffered slight freezing several
times, apparently without injury.
Water was given sparingly, and the
frames were we'll ventilated on all
days when the sun shone brightly and
the thermometer not below freezing.
By the middle of May all the vines
had fne blooms on them, which con-
tinued until the early planted garden
varieties were ready.

Gain His Confidence and, Above All,
Avoid ScoIding.
Children are not all little animals"
Some have such keen sensibilitieS, such
acute imaginations such teeming little
brains that they should be treated with
all the thoughtfulness and considera-
ton given to adults of the same tend
encieS.
Such children have to be tenderly
and constantly watched and their de-
linquencies met with an amount of
sympathy that gains and holds their
confidence.
Those children who are scolded and
punished for the least delinquency be-
come hardened in wrongdoing or de-
moralized by fear In the latter case.
demoralized is certainly not too strong
a term for the results which follow in
judicious punishments.
A nervous child becomes so afraid of
doing wrong that at last he loses the
power of discerning between what is
wrong and what is right. and he nat
urally chooses the course which he

self from. the results of his wrongdo-
ing. and it is entirely ont of the ques-
ton that if his first years are passed
in such a mistaken and perverted way
he should ever grow up into an honest
and straightforward man.
When children show themselves to
be abnormally sensitive and nervous
they should be treated in a totally diff
ferent way from the others who are
healthy and boisterous. but they must
not be spoiled. for that would simply
aggravate the evil. They should have
the benefit of a frequent change of air,
especially at the seaside.
No stimulating drinks, such as cof-
fee. tea and beer. must be given. The
food must be quite plain. but whole
some and nourishing-fsh, eggs. vege-
tables. cooked fruit and plenty of milk
and milk buildings.
Above all, avoid scolding them.

A Snug WindfaII.

In spite of the alleged panic, it seems
that there has been a gain in wealth
during the last twelve months of $1.44
for every man, woman and child in
the country. Multiplying the per cap
tia by the number of the population
dollars, or something over $125,O00,-
600, increase in our national wealth.
1t would not be wise for each adult
who handles cash to start in and dis
burse the increment which is credited
to him or her on paper. The country
would not lose by this recklessnesS
perhaps, but where individual thrift
is a national habit the per capita
wealth stands highest. France is a
nation of thrift and the land of the
greatest per capita wealth. Four years
ago the French per capita was $37.13,
while the United States possessed
$3141. This year the per capita In
this country stands at $35.35.
It is probable that the per capita

that her population is about station
airy or even declining. In this country
there is a steady increase in numbers,
and therefore an increase in per capita
wealth is significant of steady adj

exception of the Frenchman. the Amer
lean is the richest individual in the
world In Europe the people of the
Netherlands stand next to the French,
but several dollars a head lower than
the Americans. The Germans are
about ten points below us, and the
British have only half our wealth per
~apita. The Asiatic races are far be-
hind, as might be supposed from their
immense numbers that are content
with mere existence.
