The negro housewife in the West Indian jungle finds housekeeping very easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild all about the hut and the river abouftis with fish, On wash day all she has 10 do is to pick few of the berries of the soap berry tree. take her clothes to the river and use the berries as she would use ordinary soap. Even her cooking pots grow on the trees. the cala bash cut in halves being used for this purpose. Calabashes are used also for bowls. basins and jugs for carrying water from the river while the small ones make excellent cups. In the afternoon. when she is ready for her cup of tea. the negroes picks half a dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door, boils then. squeeZes the juice from a sugar cane for sweeteniuG and the cocoanut sHp- plies the milk Thus she has q dcii- ctous cup of tea without depending on the grocer for it.

An Experience at Hull House,


 Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age. I recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you? You only ,ent things yesterday. guess you kn-w when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there; it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago, but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles.' Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death. and l awaited the doctors coming. sks.Aen and horrifed.-Jane Addams in Amer. ican Magazine.
