provided for a "President-Gen-

the Union the powers usually enjoy

The startling innovation of the
scheme was a Grand Council" to be
chosen by the colonial assemblies.
The duty of this general govern
ment vas to regulate Indian affairs,
make frontier settlements and pro-
tect and defend the colonies. The
plan grew upon Franklin as he con-
sidered II and he added a scheme for
general taxes, the funds to be raised
by acquisitions for specific sums on
the separate colonial The
interest of the plan is thai 1t re-
sembles the later Articles of Con-
federation. At first it seemed likely
w to succeed; lone of the twenty
five members of the congress seems
to have opposed it, but no one colony
accepted 1t. The charter and pro-
prietary colonies feared that they
might lose the guaranty afforded by
their existing grants. The new
Union was to be established by act
Of Parliament. OF government by
that body the colonists knew little
and they had no disposition to IN
crease the power of the crown. The
town of Boston voted "to oppose any
plan whereby they shall apprehend
the liberties and privileges of the
people are endangered" The British.
government also feared a permanent
union, lest it teach the colonies their
own strength in organization. the
movement for the union had but the
faint approval of the Lords of
and received no consideration IN
England. AS Franklin said: The
assemblies all thought there was TOO
much prerogative, n in Engiana
II was thought to have too much OF
he democratic." So his plan OF
union was never adopted.

MAKING A ROSE JAR

The sweet girl graduate is u

withered, and for that girl whose
flowers hold little secrets and memo
ries dear to her heart alone | would
uggest the old-fashioned potpourri,
the fragrance from which would aus
many pleasant recollections in the
years to come. This may be made
from any flower that has the single
petals, such as the rose, but the rose
is the chosen flower owing to- the
powerful scent which 1t retains for so
long a time.
One very simple but effective
method of making this potpourri is
by stripping from the flower the
leaves and thoroughly drying. Then
throw them into a Jar, strewing first
a handful Of salt on the bottom of
the Jar, then a handful of leaves, and
so on until they are all used. Once
a week throw on a tablespoonful of
alcohol and see that the jar is tightly
closed, one with a double top being
preferable, letting it stand until the
odor of the chosen flower comes from
1t, after which leave the outer lid
off so that the odor may g through
Ethe room. A variation of the rose jar
might be made by using the leaves
of the lemon verbena, which gives
forth a very penetrating odor.

A BOX OF POSSIBILITIES

A 5~-year-old of my intimate ac-
ouaintance prefers the pasteboard
egg boxes which come with interior
divided off into sections to her most
expensive toys, and these r now
always saved when they come into
the household for further reference
In the nursery. The games which
the little maid invents with these
boxes are many and ingenious. For
one thing the box Is turned upside
down and used as a dollhouse. Each
section then becomes a separate
room. Naming the rooms Is a ia
vorite pastime feature of the play
and the plan of the interior is FREE
quently changed. The inmates are
the tiny porcelain dolls of the size of
a joint of ones finger which r sold
twelve or more for a cent
When several egg boxes have been
saved up some of the cardboard Sec
tons are removed by the small build
err and are used for making furniture
to which they lend themselves ex-
tremely well. BY careful cutting they
yield little tables. chairs, beds. etc.
and the child learns something of in
genuity in its game.
Another game played with them is
| store. The child acts as purchaser
and a little neighbor as storekeeper,
or vice versa. Imaginary goods are
kept in each section of the box.

FOR SUMMER AFTERNOON.
BY MAY MANTON

No material makes lovelier summer
gowns than voiles and marquisette.
They are exceedingly fashionable and
exceedingly beautiful. In the illustra-
ton wolfe is trimmed with lace band
ing of two widths and the gown Is a
charming, attractive and dainty one.
yet 1t involves no possible difficulty
and could be easily made by the ANA
teur needle oma All the trim
ming is arranged on indicated lines
and the panel effect is exceedingly
smart. The sleeves and blouse are
cut in one, but the front and back
portions are separate and scanned over
the shoulders and the skirt is made in
five cores. 1t is just wide enough
for the thin summer materials. The
tucks give a smooth effect over the
hips while they release fulness to
form graceful folds. The design Is
| good for all thin summer materials.
All white Is always dainty and lovely,
but white with a touch of color is

American Beauty red and bright
green are favorites. A girdle of one
or the other of these, adjusted over
a plain belt, in place of the one of
lace, would give a smart touch. Dot
ted muslin always makes pretty
| gowns of this kind, and some of the
little sprigged muslins are charming
with trimming of lace or embroidery,
OIL in place of the wide bands on the
skirt narrow ones could be used with
bands of tucking between, or narrow
bands arranged In rows. Heavy laces
are being much used on thin materi-
ais, too, and wolfe with bands of cluny
would be handsome.
For the medium size the gown will
require 8 yards Of material 81, 5%

Fear Is Deadly--How to Beat It
BY A PHYSICIAN.

1t is difficult to oVerestimate the
influence exerted by the imagination
upon our bodies, at least upon the
way bodies feel to us.
For as a man thinketh in his heart
so is he" was so wise a saying that
Solomon might well have been called
a wise man if he had said that and
nothing more.
For 1t is true that, to all appear
ances, we are what we think we are.
If you think you have a pain in your
elbow you have the pain, to all eff
fects and purposes, even though there
is no pathological reason for such a
pain. If you think you have heart
disease you may be sure your heart
will furnish certain symptoms to bear
you out in your belief. 1t will skip
and seem to TURF flipf1ops and palpi-
tate until to all appearances you have
heart disease. But really you are only
scared.
Fear is the most terrible enemy we
have. 1t works with all our real dis
eases and affliets us with innumera-
BILE imaginary ailments.
In real disease to Danish fear is
often half the battle. In imaginary
disease 1t is the whole battle.
SO, If you feel sick, the first thing
to do is to fortify yourself against
fear. OF course it is easier to advise
against fear than to avoid 1t, but
there are ways in which you can side
step fear, in some measure at least.
You must ground yourself in the
belief that fear is deadly, and that
1t is responsible for a large share of
the aches and pains that we attribute
to disease. If you can believe this
and live up to your belief you win
not be troubled with imaginary dis
eases and will largely increase your
power of resisting real disease.
Then there are tricks that can be
played with success sometimes when

A PUZZLED SCHOLAR.
In September, 1853, the Lords Of
Trade, in England, fearing a gen.
eral colonial war between the French,
aided by the Indians, on the M
side, and the English colonies in
America, on the other, directed the
colonial governors to procure the
sending of commissioners to Albany,
~. Y, for the purpose of making a
treaty with the ~Iroquois Indians. II
was suggested in America that the
commissioners also draw up a plan
of colonial union. In June, 1854, a
body of delegates assembled in AL
bany from the New England col,
onies, New York, Pennsylvania and
Maryland. The Indian treaty was
duly made and on June "a, 1854, the
of Albany adopted unani-
mously the resolution that a Union
of all the colonies is at present alb
solutely necessary for their security
and Defense" and that 1T would be
necessary hat the union be estab-
lished by Act of Parliament" To
BENJAMIN Franklin was committed
the task of drawing up a scheme
that would satisfy both the colonial
assemblies and also the English gov
eminent. The advantages of such
a union were obvious. Combined ac-
ton meant speedy victory; separ-
ate defense meant thai much of the
border would be exposed to invasion.
Franklin hoped to take advantage OF
the pressure of the war to induce
