A GARDENING Nation.

In Sweden a gift is made once a
year to each school pupil Of trees or
shrubs to be planted about the home.
By law each parish must grant GER
tain amount Of land to be devoted to
the purpose Of school gardens. There
are scores Of horticultural societies
which employ gardeners to give the
public free instruction and advice on
fruit and vegetable culture. The nat
ural resources Of the country are be-
ing increased in this way to a won
derful extent.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use 80 much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because OF its great

A Bow on cIeroymen.

Bishop Potter, at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York. read a Coopers-

men," The essay. which created much
amusement, was as follows:
There are kinds OF clergymen
bishups, recters and curates. The bish-
ups tell the recters to work and the
curats have to do 1t, a curate is a thin

he gets fuller and can preach longer

SPOILED HER STORY
sHoRT-TEMPERED MAN MADE
WIFE LOOK FOOLISH.
Determined Attempts to Spoil Social
Evening Finally Crowned with
Successful Be Hoped She
Got Even with Him.

Hivling got out his evening clothes,
including the one remaining clean
shirt with broad gauge bosom, and
that d-n hat" as Hivling always
referred to his opera crush. You see,
Hivling didn't care much for society
himself. He trailed along just to
keep peace.
When they were all ready for the
start that night, and Mrs. Hivling kept
remarking peevishly that they were
going to be late, as usual, she sup
posed. Hivling happened to notice that
his patent feathers looked sort OF
dingy Even Mrs. Hivling admitted
that he'd better take time to dab
little liquid polish on the footgear.
Just as he was finishing the other
shoe he Strengthened up for a minute
and dropped wee drop of the polish
on his shirt bosom. 1t was an infinitesi-
NAL particle, much smaller than the
ordinary pinhead of commerce, and
wouldn't have mattered at all. But
finding it there just when he was
hustling to be off to that sassiety affair
ruffled Hivling some.
Look at this, will you?" he shout
ed to his wife.
81 don't see anything but little
speck on your shirt" responded the
wife mildly.
THAT'S all you see, hey? Well,
you'll see more, Mrs. Hivling, and
pretty quick, too, I'm here to state.
I'll lust make this Internal shirt front
look real good and rotten while we're
at it,"
Whereupon Hivling proceeded as
his ruified temper dictated. He took
the dauber and drew two broad lines
down over the bosom and two more
across-forming double cross effect.
Now. them" remarked Hivling. in
a tone of. triumph, not even noticing
his wife's glares. now, then!
Now we won't get to the party at
ALL" walled Mrs. Hivling, land after
getting a new gown for the affair!
All on account of that abominable, de-
testable temper of yours. Ooh! oh!
oh! it's just disgusting, the silly fool
things you do when some little thing
goes wrong" Then she went into
the other room and threw herself on
the lounge.
Hivling, of course, had cooled down
some by this time. His wife was
right. They would have to stay at
home. And Hivling well knew that 1t
would be many week before he
would be able to square himself for
that nights work. :.
But Hivling got out of it. He called
a cab and sent Mrs. Hivling ahead,
saving that he would come along later.
as soon as he could dig up shirt
some place.
A half hour later. Mrs. Hivling smil-
fngly was telling how she happened to
he there alone. MIR. Hivling was
called down town on an important
business matter" she was saying. "and
the dear, he just made me come alone.
I thought it was mean to come when
he was obliged to go down town, but
he insisted until | gave in
Then when Hivling finally arrived,
looking sheepish, his first words to
the group of women his wife had been
talking to was: well, / suppose my
wife's been telling you how l got sore
and painted Chinese nightmare on
my shirt front and like to never got

The class in English II has been max
ing outlines for debates and writing de-
scriptions and variations. They have
also been studying figures Of speech.
The class in Caesar has finished the

have come to Russia for the purpose of
asking the minister of foreign affairs to:
establish a Russian bureau in the United
States, whose duty it would be to contra
dict officially the many false reports cir
culated there about Russia by sensa-

result in a better understanding of true
conditions by the American people, who.
in my estimation, are always ready to
give any power and its people a fair
hearing, which privilege has of late been
denied Russia, as you undoubtedly
know. have also asked the minister
TO offer me the privilege of serving at
fthe head of such a bureau and have re-

Lorimer and Lowden, who. know of my
efforts to defend Russia and its people
