HEALTHY PLANTS.

The rubber plant, Ficus elastica,
possesses hardly qualities and thick,
smooth, glossy leaves. 1t makes an
excellent hall plant. For towering
plants the pelargonium remains the
tried favorite. Fuchsias are grown,
begonias and cacti-these for all the
year round.
Potted Towering plants from the
florists come at various seasons. They
will last, with care, for a few weeks.
such as the potted crysanthemum and
the poinsettia. Then farther along
toward the spring the favorite cycIa-
men and the various spring flower
ing bulbs and forced shrubs, orange
trees, bay and privet in tubs, make
effective hall decorations.
House plants should be watered
onl ywhen they need it. The test is
ringing the plot by striking it sharp
ly with the knuckles. A hollow ring
shows that the earth is dry and the
plant need water. A dull, thuddy
sound indicates the presence of plen-
ty OF water. Surface wetting daily is
worse than no water. The plant
should be soaked so that water runs
out of the hole in the bottom of the
pot. A good-sized watering pot full
OF water is the proper allowance for
a twelve-inch pot. 1t is good to let
the soil dry out also, for that gives a
chance for air to get through the
soil.
Sponging the leaves of palms, ETC..
is excellent but not necessary. Dust,
OF course, chokes the respiration a
little. Proper watering, together with
little care about opening windows
upon the plants, should preserve a
healthy condition. If a plant willis
and grows yellow, 1t is well to repot
1t, these conditions arguing some
thing wrong with the soil. Dead
leaves and twigs should, of course, be
plucked off,
Most house plants demand a good,
bright light, though not necessarily.
This is particularly true in the case
Of ferns, where sunlight is better. If
the house is to be closed I'D at any
time of the year, it is a good thing
to send the plants to a florist for care.
Often an ailing fern may regain Wig

neighbor going home across lots"
She is so Quick-witted. You'd think
she'd care for the best things, books
and culture and all that; but she
really seems to enjoy her Homework
and cooking more than anything else
in the world. You saw how she was
just now, as delighted over that new
salad recipe you gave her as l should
have been over new thought"
The older woman, the girls host
ess, laughed as if something amused
her, but tenderly, too, for she loved
the girl. why shouldn't she enjoy
her work first and most?" she asked.
1T was what she was put into the
world to do
But the kind of work." the girl
protested. Just common cooking
and dish-washing. She might have
thoughts above it."
What would you think of a light
house keeper who had thoughts
above cleaning lamps?"

said quickly. That's matter of
life and death to others"
Her friend shook her head. mo.
dear, it isn't different. The task that
God puts into ones hands always de-
mands JOY and ENTHUSIASM to be done

is not one of having thoughts above

Women Doctors In Siberia.

(Moscow Cor. London Standard
A number Of influential Siberians
are petitioning the ministry of edu-
cation in st. Petersburg to allow wo-
men to be admitted to the medical
faculty in the University of Tobolsk.
The petitioners point out that there
is wide field for women doctors in
Siberia, where it is often difficult for
settlers to get medical aid.
There are many Mohammedans in
the country, and it is explained that
only women doctors can come to their
help in illness, as they do not permit
men to see their wives and daughters.
Many women have entered the medi-
cal profession in Russia proper, and
there are great many women prac-
ticing dentistry, department of sur
gerry which does not seem to have at
fractions for the English women.

evening with the joyful announce

been enrolled as competent cook?

As she spoke the husband had en-
deavored to masticate a particularly

An English apple orchard In the spring!
When the spreading trees are hoary
With their wealth OF promised glory.
And the mavis sings it's story
In the spring.
Have you plucked the apple blossoms in the

And caught their subtle odors in the spring ?
Pink buds pouting at the light.
Crumpled petals baby-white.
Just to touch them a delight
In the spring.
Have you walked beneath the blossoms in

In the spring?
Beneath the apple blossoms In the spring :?
When the pink cascades are falling,
And the silver brooklets brawling.
And the cuckoo bird soft calling
In the spring.
II you have not. then you know not. In the
spring,
In the spring,
No sweet sight / remember
Half so precious, half so tender,
AS the apple blossoms render
In the spring.

HEALTH AND WALKING.

There il no fern OF exercise more
heaithful than walking: none that
Americans. and especially American
women. are more careful TO avoid
whenever possible. English and Ger
man women are fond of walking.
many Of them being able 10 walk ten
miles al time. and come In fresher
than when they began.
Walking strengthens the action OF
the heart. nourishes all the vital or
gans and tissues, increases the circu-
lation. and feeds the muscles, which
are the first portions Of the body 10
decay with approaching age.
To be most beneficial. walking
ought 10 be combined with deep
breathing, for breathing exercises are
in themselves splendid for auieting
the nerves and refreshing the whole
body.
Taken in conjunction with muscu-
lar exercise, the blood Ia doubly
and the various organs
are completely strengthened.
Take walk every day IL you want
TO live long and be we'll. Pleasant
ness will result as surely as the i'm
provement in health, for walking
brings not only physical blessings,
but refreshment to ones soul.-C. c.

APRIL.

april pEIuo u WOOuidno ways,
or glad days;
April bringing hope of prime
To the young flowers that beneath
Their bud sheath
Are guarded in their tender time"
Few of the months were ever
moved about on the calendar quite
as frequently as this, the loveliest
season of the entire spring, when old
Dame Nature is as busy as the pro-
verbal bee dressing the trese and
fields in new garments of fresh and
living green.
In the ancient Alban calendar.
when the year just had the meager
supply of only ten months, the ten be-
ing Of very irregular length, April
stood at the first of - year, with
thirty-six days to it's credit Then in
the calendar of Romulus, it was
tucked away in the second place, and
had to content itself with only thirty
days.
Numa's calendar locked the long
suffering month again by taking away
another day, and putting it down on
the list until it lodged in the fourth
place, where it has stuck hard and
fast ever since.
For many years it possessed only
Twenty-Five days, then Julius Caesar
pulled the months and the year all
to pieces, and kindly tackled one more
day to April, restoring it to it's old
place among the other months pos
sessing the dignity of thirty days.
The name April is generally be-
lieved to have come from the Latin,
''aperio." meaning, 81 open," and was
no doubt given 20 this particular sea-
son in the year when the buds of both
trees and flowers begin to grow and
unfold their beauties in the spring
sunlight.
The old Romans consecrated the
first of April to Venus, the Goddess
of Beauty and Queen of Laughter,
and on that day the widows and
maids of Rome used to assemble in
her temple, and with tears and lam
entations pray that the beautiful god
or blemishes that disfgured them,
that they might became beautiful in
the eyes of all beholders.
The Romans regarded April as a
very gay and festive season, and dur
ing the month they held many big
celebrations, the great equestrian
combat held on the nineteenth, and
the Robigalia, on the twenty-f1fth for
averting mildew, being the two most
important.
Like all the other months in the
year, April has had several names
In his new calendar, Charlemagne
designated it as the grass month";"
a name the Dutch still cling to, call
ing it at the present day "Grasmaad"
Then during Nero's terrible reign it
was known as Neroneus, being SO
called, no doubt, in honor of that
vain and wicked ruler.
OF course the Anglo-Saxons could
not possibly let it go by them without
adding at least one new name to the
many it already possessed 'Oster-
monath," they called It, meaning the
month when the East winds did
muchly blow, and it is generally be-
Iieved that the term Easter came
from the same origin, for in this
month the Saxons held their great
celebration in honor of their goddess
Eastre.
In China the symbolic blowing of
the earth by the Emperor and
Princes of the Royal Blood takes
place in their third month, which |
corresponds to our April, and in ia
pan there is held quaint and in
teresting domestic festival known as |
the Feast of the Dolls.
