A Mite" :"

The difficulties experienced ny our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in tue various values given to q mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite seems to have been :l third of Flemish penny. but the use of the word for the widow $ coin of the New Testament made it's regular English meaning half a far thing. and some old people may re- member applying the name to the short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books mite stands for various val Ucs not represented by actual coins. but obviously used in reckoning. \ work of 17O5 makes it one-tweifth of a penny. two sixteenth century books one-siAth of q farthing and in lG14 Jeake's arithmetic made it as li,tle as one sixty-fourth of a penny.-Lon- don Chronicle

good results. Early in the spring the
feathery flowers of the shad bush can
be used, and other attractive blossoms
are the wild plum, the Japanese ounce
and cherry the wild crabapple. and,
in fact. fruit tree blossoms OF almost
every kind.
japanese custom which IS finding
favor with flower lovers here, and
which has a good deal to recommend II,
is the use of special flower tables,
placed in front of a wall or some other
suitable background. On these tables
the flowers are shown alone, and are
given an opportunity to display their
full effect instead OF being mixed IN
with other objects, which often de-
tract from their beauty. Teak and
cedar and lacquered woods are gener-
ally chosen for the flower tables, those
that are well prOpOrtiOned and made
upon firm and simple lines. but not
with great deal of elaborate carv-
ing.
There is no other place in the house

rule and can be used with almost any
flower. In many cases. where the
leaves are insignificant. or grow at a
distance from the flowers. the latter
should stand alone as they do in ma
ture: sweet peas are an illustration OF
this. and so are chrysanthemums.
In arranging roses. those that are
short stemmed are attractive in low
rose bowls; the medium stemmed ones
look well in rather short vases. or in
simple Japanese jars. Very long
stemmed roses, such as the American
beauties need tall cylindrical vases
