Orchid. at Home.

Very few children think of growing
orchids on the window sill, but these
can really be raised at home with
very little trouble. OF course, the
flowers in bloom seldom cost less than
a dollar a piece and very often more,
but the plants are not SO very expen-
sive. All that you need is a soap box,
covered with a piece of glass. Put
the plants in this and place the box in
a window where they can get plenty
Of sunlight. They won't require much
attention besides watering, and this
needn't be done often, as the glass top
will keep the water from ~evaporating
very rapidly. In winter, though, your
little dollhouse will have to be heated
in some way. The easiest way to do
this, If your house is lighted with
electricity. Is to, run a wire into the
box and heat 1t with an electric light.

COULDN'T HAVE DONE BETTER
Marriage Arrangement Seemed some

George A. Birmingham, the widely
known writer, says there Is no coun-
try In the world where marriage, at
least in the peasant class, is more a
matter of bargaining, and yet shows a
higher average of stability and con-
tent than Ireland. Sometimes the
man has never seen the woman be-
fore they are brought together, the
precise number of pounds, sows, or
pigs to be handed over having been
by that time settled.
This is illustrated in personal recol-
lections just published by an irish
woman. She was visiting with an
aunt a cottage in. the neighborhood,
and admired a fine mahogany chest OF
drawers.
Twas for that I was married.
said the mistress Of the cottage. A
young farmer had also seen and adj

was no money, but the bride was to

young man measured it, and then
turned and asked:

LETTER "CAME BACK"
AND THE QUESTION is, WHERE
HAD 1T BEEN?
Mrs. Frances Hodsson Burnett Would
Like an Answer, If Any One VIII
Reason 1t to Her Complete
Satisfaction.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett tells
q true story which she calls THE Mys-
terry Of My Life" And truly 1t Is a
mystifying occurrence.
1t was some time ago.. while she was
living in England. One night she and
a friend were spending a quiet eve
ming by the fire, chatting, reading.
Mrs. Burnett's friend, be it understood,
sat throughout the event in an arm
chair by. the fire, and did not leave
her place until all was over, so that,
as in the case Of c%onjurers, there could
have been mo deception on her part.
Mrs. Burnett went in the our of
the evening to her desk and wrote a
letter. She signed, folded. directed,
sealed and stamped II, and stood 1t up
against a silver cigarette o on the
center table. Then she arose to go
and sit by the fire again.
Presently, wishing the letter post
ed. she started to take steps toward
having it mailed. She looked for 1t on
the center table, and he letter was
not there. She looked all over the
table in vain. She rubbed her eyes
and looked again. She knew she had
stood that letter up against the silver
cigarette box, but it was not there.
No one had entered the room, no one
had left it; her friend had sat mo-
tionless by the fire.
Mrs. Burnett said to herself: Il
know-sometimes ones eyes are held.
A thing may be staring n straight
In the face and not be seen. 1t may
caar, fo ho oocr,orod dino 90 c0mothinO
else!" And she began systematically
examining each object IN the table
separately, picking it W, naming it,
and setting it down again, to make
sure hat it was itself and not the let
ter.
rs this the letter? No, this is a
Dresden china bonbon dish. Is this it?
No, this is a brass candlestick; this
is a magnifying glass; this is an ivory
paper cutter; this Is a carved wooden
box; this is a rose jar; this Is an ash
receiver, and this, finally, is a silver
cigarette box, and there is nothing
else on the table, and there is neither
hide o hair Of a letter to be scent"
Completely at a loss, Mrs. Burnett
strolled about the room to examine
Oll6T QOSSlUlc SulldCcS Wu6Ic Iu6 ASI"
ter might have been placed, had it not
emphatically and Enthusiastically been
put upon the center table against the
cigarette box. She searched on the
mantelpiece, on her desk, on the pi-
ano, on the bookcase-no letter. In
encouragement she turned again to
the center table for another hunt.
There stood h letter demurely lean
ing against the silver cigarette box,
exactly as she had placed it.
And hat UGH things are possible,
and that they happen to such perfectly
sane, clear-eyed, l~evel-headed and re-
liable people as Mrs. Burnett is per-
fectly credible. Have we not all had
similar experiences? And if they were
not possible, whence come the world
old beliefs in elementals, in mischie-
vous sprites, in elves and brownies
who play pranks upon us poor dull
mortals? Explain it how we may, that
is what happened to Mrs. Burnett.
