ANNOYING MANNERIsMs.

II we would only learn to be quiet,
absolutely quiet when we are sup
posed to be quiet, without motion or
sound, faces quiet, hand quiet, feet
quiet; if everything that we do could
be done as noiselessly as possible
without an unnecessary sound or
movement The movement to re-
strain noises should begin at home
rather than abroad; better innumer-
able bells and whistles outside than
slamming doors, creaking shoes, or
shrill voices inside. We need the
training given by constant attendance
in a sick-room. What a relief it
would be to tired nerves If a general
reformation of this kind took place!

LEE ON THE FARM.

The farmers hope to make this tho
best year of their lives, and Will do
all that lies in their power to make
the harvest a bountiful one. We In
tend to simplify our duties, doing the
work by the latest improved methods,
so that fife on the dear old farm
may be a pleasure, instead of bur-
den. We read much about the Sim
pie life" and "the higher life" We
intend to plan each day so that a
portion may be spent in contempla-
tion and reflection in that simple and
better life, that we all may live.
Much as we love the farm and coun-
try, we know that we cannot remain
here always, but must journey to
the great beyond. 1t behooves us to
give some thought as to the manner
in which we journey.
Life on the farm is good and pleas
ant, where we are awakened each
morning by the birds, warbling forth
songs Of cheer to humanity, where
the breeze is laden with the fragrance
of the sweet flowers, and where we
may find time, in our Independent
life, to wander idly, sometimes,
through woods and pasture, drinking
in natures sweetness and thinking
our own thoughts, far from the city's
noise and din.
Let the young folks Of the farm
think twice before leaving the old
farm, for the rest, pleasure and inn
provements they think they VIII find
in the city, All the enjoyments OF
life may be found on the farm life.
If we will only condense our energies
and simplify our tasks, so that some
time each day may be given to rest
and meditation.

sive as our means can afford, so that

ONES OWN WAY.

At first thought, It would seem as
impracticable to get out of ones own
way as to pull oneself up by ones
boot straps. Yet it is always more
or less practicable, and always makes
for success. The woman who learns
to look at life impersonally, for ex-
ample, is the one who sees life
straight and walks most safely
through it. The woman who can put
away prejudice or pique is the wo-
man who wins her way socially and
personality The woman who loves
others better than herself the most
useful and most is additionally and
eternally blessed Of women.
It is Goethe's old dictum over
again. "Renounce!" In that lies
the way to larger possession. The
moment that a personal desire is re-
nounced, its place is open for larger
energy and hopes. When half-gods
go, the gods arrive" said wisesBmer-
son. Self is to many the demi-god
of life, conditioning all steps, loom
ing up in all paths, and generally OBJ
structive. Even self-sacriflee needs
watching at times, when it does not
regard the real good of others, but
only its own impulse Some mothers,
by such selfish unselfishness, get into
their own way as far as training their
children is concerned. In fact the
ways by which self can thwart prog

Winter Tomatoes.

Successful tomato culture under
glass depends as much upon the man
inScharge as upon conditions. Eter-
81 vigilance and the exercise Of good
Judgment on the part Of the grower
are more essential than strict adher-
ence to set rules. The crop is one
which demands constant care and in
telligent management, but under suit
able conditions the returns are very
satisfactory, and the product meets
a ready demand at good prices.
The most important conditions for
forcing tomatoes are: A warm, light
house-one having q two-thirds' span
facing the south being preferable.
strong bottom heat, rich soil, careful
training, uniform temperature, care
in watering and pollinating, and, as
before suggested, good judgment and
constant watchfulness on the part Of
the grower. Bottom heat is not abb
solutely essential to success, but the
crop natures more quickly If given
this condition.
To make the best use Of the house
two crops should be grown during the
season. This will bring each crop
on at a season when the expense of
heating during a part Of the time will
be slight. Plants for the first crop
should be started as early as the first
of August. II two or more houses
are available, a second sowing should
be made in about three weeks, to
give a succession. For the second
crop seed should be sown during the
latter part Of October.
The plants are treated in every
way as for outdoor culture till han
died the last time. For fruiting some
prefer benches, with about six inches
of soil; but, in the writer's expert
ence, the best results have been OBJ
tanned from the use of boxes eighteen
inches square and twelve inches deep.
In the bottom OF the boxes is placed
a layer of charcoal, broken pots, or
