The Gardens Charm.
From Scribner's.


We read that "the garden causeth the
things that ar: sown III IL 10 spring

the river side and like watered gar

those who know the heat and dryness of
the east.
Every garden has its particular charm.
and rarely is one to be seen from winch

new idea of Il color arrangement of GER

something which gives delight and in

borers' cottages. where the few flowers
cares for them in moments before or
after a long days toll, touch the heart as
10 great gardens can, however complete
with all that nature and art combined
are able to accomplish. Every lover of
flowers has her own ideas upon the sub
ject of gardening. My ideal garden is

derby as the rooms of the house; every
plant brought to its highest development,
and nature, trained by man. giving con-
slant and luXuriant bloom: where the
green setting of trees. hedges. box edg-

a sense Of delight and thanksgiving for

such a garden Maud may have been
called by ner lover-and to suchs little

his Song of Songs, where he speaks of

Mind as q Disease Maker.
the Indianapolis Star

From the Indianapolis Staf
good deal is said in these days about
the effect Of mind on matter in the way
of the cure of disease. but less is heard
about mental influences as a cause OF
bodily ills; yet 1t is an old truth that
the state of mind has a direct effect on
the body. The gloom and depression
caused by worry and anxiety create a
morbid condition Of the physical system.
1t is impossible to feel we'll physically
when the mind and spirits are downcast.
The blood does not circulate properly,
appetite fails, the head aches and. II
these morbid conditions continue, more
deep-seated ailments are likely to arise
and cancer may be one of them.
With many persons a fit Of anger is
followed by an attack of indigestion: ex-
citement destroys the appetite. bad news
creates nausea, fright causes faintness
and SO on. Violent or depressing emo
lions always disturb the equilibrium of
body and mind alike. This being the
case it Is inevitable that when these
emotions often recur or become continu-
Gus serious physical results win follow.
The obvious lesson is then that mental
serenity tends to health--is, in fact, an
essential element of health-and that.
instead of resorting to mind cures
after the health is broken, il is wise to
preserve the serenity as q preventive and
safeguard against disease.

The Horse Still Triumphs.

From the London chronicle
Ia spite Of motors and motor omnibuses
and all kinds of mechanical traffic, the
horse seems to persist and triumph. You
would think he would be ousted by the
boot and smell Of the motor. Not a bit.
From a fashion paper one gathers that
there are more people riding than ever.
And the coming horse show at Olympia.
with it's promised decorations and enor-
nous expenditure. means that the horse
is still a popular animal on which to jog.
jump or trot to health and comfort. The
horse-in the near future-should be, not
a food, but a tonic. We shall not eat
horses. or drive behind them We shall
ride on them. And not in the streets.
The horse. one foresees hopefully, will be
turned off the streets, where he is rather
a nuisance, and sent to the park, or
Wimbledon Common, or any open space.
There he will be a tonic. You can ima8-
inc no better tonic than a clean gallop
across an open space. But as daily food
In mid London there should be no more
herses for the eater and the traveller.

in fact, We are all the time doing things
which repel others and which inevitably
tend to make us unpopular.
We have to take infinite pains to sue
coed in our vacations or any accomplish
ment worth while, and should We expect
to gain the air of arts, the charm OF per

ROYAL MOURNING.
Custom of French Court-Sumptuary
Laws in England.

L rom the London Chronicle.
Royal mourning in the past was reg
ulated far more deliberately than nova

French court was in mourning the
royal apartments were hung with black,
and every looking glass in the king g
residences was covered with Grape.
French queens. when widowed, We're ex-
pected to remain secluded for six
weeks in room draped with black
cloth. on which were fastened white
velvet dots, supposed to represent tears.
The same custom prevailed in Scot
land. In the pamphlet which George
Buchanan wrote against Mary Queen
OF Scots he dwelt severely on the fact
that long before the forty days fol-
lowing Darnley's death were spent she
showed herself at window and Took

ADVICE ON MEDICINE TAKING.

FROM the Youths Companion.
When one observes the general attitude
OF the public at large, even much of the
instructed and intelligent public, ION the
subject Of medicine taking the wonder is
that more people do not perish Of their
own folly.
1t is to be supposed that when a ply
stefan prescribes a drug he, and he alone,
is equipped to know what he prescribes.
what for and how much and how often
it should be taken. 1t may belt often

or at the wrong time or in the wrong
combination, and yet. although it seems
incredible, one continually finds other

matters by taking patent medicine or

bottles around where children can reach
them or who has the carbolic acid or the

simple rules in this regard can be made
and kept by every one: Let there be an
inaccessible shelf for medicine bottles
wherever there are children. Never pour

directions have been read. Always keep
dangerous fluids. such as strong am
monia, carbolic acid, insect poisons and
the like, in corrugated bottles.

College Mollycoddles.
From the New York Times


College students who cheat in their
work are physically deficient. That is the
inference drawn from a table prepared by
Dr. ]. c. Elsom, medical examiner OF the
5000 students in the University OF Wis
consin. Taking a list OF fifty students
who within two years have been disci-
plined by the faculty for various acts Of
dishonesty in their university work, DR..
Elsom found that in height, weight. girth
of head. breadth Of shoulders. depth of
chest strength Of arms. legs and back
the disciplined students were inferior to
the average student at Wisconsin.
Notably they were deficient in girth of
head and strength of back. They lacked
backbone in the physical sense.
These figures. taken by themse yes, are
too slim to meet proper statistical de-
mands for basing conclusions on the
physique of dishonest college students.
But in the public schools and in the chill
dren's courts of this and other cities like
comparisons have been made. and it has
been determined pretty conclusively that
moral delinquents are as a class inferior
i'm physique. Our jals and prisons, too,
are filled with badly nourished and poorly
developed adult prisoners. The saying
that cleanliness is next to godlness is
true chiefly perhaps because cleanliness
