Chickens in the Garden.

Nearly every one who has vege-
table garden is afraid to allow his
poultry to roam at will because the
crops might suffer. This is certainly
true in the early spring, when the
plants are small An active hen with
a brood of chicks can tear up more
seeds in few minutes than pains
taking man can plant in as many
hours: but there come time when
poultry can be turned loose without
serious damage and with much prof
It, This is when the plants are large
enough not to be injured.
The best way OF managing is to
allow the fowls to roam in the gar
den toward the close of the day.
Then they are too active, and do not
have much time to pull such plants
as beets, chard, cabbage and other
green stuff Of which they are fond
When tomatoes are ripening 1t Is
necessary to keep the fowls shut out
because OF their fondness for this
fruit.

WOMEN AND THEIR WORK. =
For the Nervous Woman.

The necessity of mental poise is
receiving more and more attention,
and the majority of women, if they
are candid, will admit that it is all
needed. Avoid haste and hurry,
says DR.. S. S. McComb, in an article
in Harper's Bazaar, "for these are
the things that confuse the brain
and make clear judgment impossible.
The besetting temptation of the nerv-
Gus woman is to hurry from one duty
TO another in breathless haste, at
tempting many tasks, yet achieving
none of them with dignity or free
dom. When such temptation
arises, call halt. Remain quiet for
a few minutes; summon back your
self-possession and refuse to do in
one hour work which should be
spread over two. Habituate your
self to the control of the emotions.
Nothing makes such havoc of the
nervous system and nothing disor-
ganizes the inner life like anger,
fear or worry. These forces must be
quelled if the soul is to maintain its
supremacy and nervous peace is to
be enjoyed; and this is done, not, in
deed, by fiat of the will, but by
substituting for these destructive
emotions such constructive ones as
love. faith in God and reverence for
the divine order of life"

COST OF THE c. v. EXTENSION
Grand Trunks Officials Estimate It
at About Five Millions

Montreal Feb. 25.-Grand Trunk
officials estimate that the cost of the
extension necessary to give the Cen
trail Vermont branch of the Grand
Trunk system direct connection be-
tween Montreal andRhode Island will
be between four and five million dol
lars.
Although there is opposition to the
scheme on the part of the New Hav-
en- and Boston and Maine roads the
Grand Trunk has such strong public
support at its back that the officials
confidently expect to get the neces-
sary charter for the building of the
line. The extension will not go only
to Providence but also to Pawtucket
and Tidewater

HumOr and

TOO CAREFUL.

IVES. caution is a splendid thing
To have about the place,
And many blunders we would miss.
And oft twould save our face,
But many Of the things we do
Would fail and come to naught
II we would never push ahead
Except on second thought.
'Tis by the reckless rushing In
Where angels fear TO tread
And pulling through by accident
That makes us get ahead.
II we should sit and cogitate
And figure on the cost
Before we made a single move
Our chances might DO lost
a fool for luck. the saying goes.
And while ii isn't true
That only persons win the prize
Whose brains are shy a few,
There's something in the ancient saw,
For some have won success
Who didn't have a single plan.
But rushed ahead by guess.
The man who hesitates is lost
Declared some geezer wise.
The winner doesn't stop TO think;
He takes things by surprise.
For when you study doubts begin
To form and multiply.
And II you await for second thought
You drop the scheme and fly.
