FERNS AND FERN DISHES.

The variety of pteris known as Viii
sons fern is the very best sort for use
in fern dishes. 1t has large leaf SUR
face in comparison with its root deveL
opment, and the leaves spread out in
such way that they give a Hattened eff
feet to the group. 1t is hardy species
and thrives Under the comparative neg
left of house conditions.
The variety catalogued as "serrulata
cristala' is also good for the fern dish
Perhaps the commonest cause of fail
IRE in keeping plants in fern dishes in
a healthy condition is that of allowing
water to stand below in the dish so that
the bottom of the soil is always soaked.
A good way to avoid this is to take the
pot out of water thoroughly and then
que back in the receptacle.

THE HINDU WIDOW.
Indian Author Explains the Sacrifice
of Suffice.

From the London Chronicle
Contrary to the usual western belief,
said Sarath Kumar Ghosh. the Indian
author. Indian women are more highly
esteemed by their husbands even than
their western sisters. The Indian is
taught veneration for women from his
earliest boyhood Any unkindness to
wife is supposed to be swiftly followed
by misfortune and a mans prayers are
of no effect unless his wife joins in them
with all sincerity. At a coronation the
presence of the sovereign's wife is of the
utmost Importance. Should she be I'M
able 10 appear a statue of her must be
placed at her husbands side. otherwise
the ceremony is not legal.
The standard of morality the lecturer
asserted is higher in India than in Eng
land. The Indian. it is true. is legally
allowed to take a second wife should his
first marriage prove childless. but 1t is
most rare to hear of an Indian awaiting
himself of this privilege.
When the Princess of Wales visited In
dia she was regarded with the greatest
veneration not merely for her charm of
manner or the fact that one day she
would be Empress of India, but for the
fact that she had five sons.
Death was not forced on any widow
the lecturer asserted. They were free to
choose for themselves. If they did not
feel called upon to make the sacrifice
of suffice they We're always at liberty to
refuse However. should they desire to
sacrifice themselves the act brought them
a crown of martyrdom. earning for them
selves the title of "devi.' 1t was an
error to think they were burned alive. \
cup of poison was drunk and cremation
followed
Finally Mr.. Ghosh related that a pre-
dicton calling down disaster on a man
passed harmlesSly over woman, her
moral standing being the higher of the
two. The great diamond of India, the
kohnur. carried with ii a curse to the
effect that its Wearer would rule over
India. but die a sudden death. \ woman
might wear the jewel safely. The late
Queen Victoria had it placed in the royal
crown, but now, said the lecturer, it
adorns. the one made for Queen AIexan-
dra by the order of the king, to whom
the prophecy was sent from India.

WAS NAPoLEON'S CABIN BOY.
Distinction Belonging to William
Johnson of Australia.
rom the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
There is a man in A Sydney (New
South Wales) institution, presided over
by the French Sisters of the Little
Company of Mary, who will be 100 years
of age March 26 next. His name is
William tombstone, and in 1916 he was
cabin boy in II. NJ. s. Northumberland,
the British warship that took Napoleon
to st. Helena. For a considerable time
afterward he remained on the island as
one of the personal attendants on the
fallen emperor. and one of his choicest
possessions today is a devotional book
with Napoleon's writing in 1t.
His story has been thoroughly sifted
by the sisters, who in their investiga-
tions have had the assistance of less
unworldly folk, and they have no doubt
that it is genuine. 1t is certain. at any
rate, that a William tombstone was
cabin boy in the northumberland on the
occasi Of that memorable voyage.

Simplicity in Little Clothes.
From the American Baby.

From the American Baby.
Some women with moderate means
imagine that they are demonstrating their
love for child when they put an en-
broidered gown and a white fur coat on
il. They take pride in the fact that their
child is dressed more handsomely than
any in the block-even than those whose
parents are well to do. They pinch and
save and work and deny themselves COM
forts that the baby shall have an elab-
crate cloak and the older child be kept in
white sleeves and stockings. And the sad
part of it all is that they are doing the
child an injury. They are putting foolish
" extravagant ideas into its head when Il
child ought not to be conscious of its
clothes at all, and they are throwing
away money that might better be de-
posted to the child's account in savings
bank.
In these days of ready-made clothes 1t
is the easiest thing in the world to clothe
a child Attractive little dresses and
fascinating rompers are incredibly cheap,
and any real live child with a smudge of
dirt on it's little face, rollicking around in
all the freedom of fifty-cent pair of
rompers, is certainly a happier sight than
a spick- and-spa white-stockinsed, hand
embroidered child walking primly by its
nurse and constantly cautioned to keep
its dress clean.

"Quaigh. !"
From the London Chronicle.

The silver quaigh that was sold a few
days ago at EDS an ounce must have
caused the auctioneer some trouble when
he described it to the bidders The quaigh
is the old Scottish drinking bowl, but the
word is spelled and pronounced in a
greater variety Of ways than the name of
any other common object in the language
"Quegh. queigh, quech. quoich. queych
and quef' are only a few of the variety
of names which it bears. Queen Victoria

catalogue when he wrote:

cized the word as "quaff,'' and il Is prob
able that the verb to quaff is lineal de-
scendant of the word for the bowl. Scot
fish antiquaries have argued about the
quaigh until many Of them have lost
their tempers, and each variation OF the
spelling can be supported by at least hail
a dozen authorities. But the anglican
ritual OF duaffing may suffice tho Pres.

VIOLATION OF STATE LAW

Said Defendants Will Appear When
Wanted for Trial.
New York, Feb. 2S.-A> motion to

the price of meat, will be made short

City.
Mr.. Carver. will appear before Su-
preme Court Justice Swayze in Tren-
ton, N. j., and ask that the National
Packing company's charter be nulli-
fed on the ground that it had violated
the state law.
Officials of Prosecutor Garven's
office said that he had received assur-
ances from counsel of the indicted cor
porations and individuals that the de-
PENDANTS would appear when wanted
for trial.
The grand jury of Hudson county,
N. j., on evidence submitted by Prose-
cutor Carver, returned an indictment
against six great packing companies
and tWenty-one packers, charging them
with conspiracy in limiting the supply
Of meat and poultry.
The indictment is drawn under the
law of New Jersey, which provides
upon conviction a maximum penalty
of three years in the penitentiary or
a $1,000 fine, or both. The offense is
extraditable, which practically means
that the meat barons of this country
must either successfully resist extra
dition or come to Jersey City for trial.

voting by mail on the question of call
ing strike to enforce demands pre-.
scented by the union last November.
Returns received do not warrant pre-

ran, chairman of the Great Northern
employees, have completed an inspec.

gathered the sentiment on the posi-.

make any statement it is believed
they found the Western ends of both
systems ready for anything, while op.
position to radical action was found
in Minnesota:
The firemen and engineers are act
ing as a national unit and if the strike
is called it will affect nearly every

which marked the close of her

In the heavy technique of those

scored her highest triumphs. She
attacked and mastered the mechan-

an assurance and success which
