 What lovely days for auto trips through the country to see nature in all it's glory. How tame the quail are hardly getting out of the way of the wheels as you pass by. How good their whistle sounds: and all the other birds so happy; and the flowers of all kinds blooming so charming in all their bright colors.
 How happy we all should be with such beauty around us. Think of peo- pie in the crowded cities and how the little ones would enjoy it out in the country with the birds and flow CTS.

THE FLOWER GARDEN.

The housewife who must assume the innumerable duties of housekeeping and rearing a family frequently ssS~ rifices her cherished dream of Q flower garden to the everyday de- mands made upon her time and ener- gfes. This is grave mistake. for there is nothing quite so restful or so conductive, to hefth as 8 garden.
 The busy woman should spend a portion of each day eultivating flow CTS, and her tired nerves will quickly respond to the change of occupation. Suppose you have only a small back yard you can border this with 8. flower bed. plant vines or climbing roses te chamber over the fence. and spend few hours each day wedding the beds or watering the thirsty plants.
 Dig your beds. and if the soil is impoverished, enrich it with we'll rotted stable manure or have rich soil hauled from the nursery or the woods
 If you decide to place a soil border about your beds then plant a row ot sweet alyssum above this. These fra grant white flowers always make a 1 good display and grow rapidly. Bacn
 of the alyssum can be planted other 1 lovely annuals or perennials. Among 1 the former are fuchsias, verbenas cockscombs, 1obelias, phloX, marigolds
 candytuft, calliopsis, poppies, snap
 dragons, asters, butterfly flowers
 wall1owers, periwinkles balsams larkspur, stocks. zinnias, nasturtiums
 and sweet peas. Annual vines arc 1 gourd, morning glory. hyacinth bean wild cucumber, Japanese hop and cy- press.
 Then there are the summer flower 1 ing bulbs and roots which the busy
 woman will find scarcely any care al all after the first planting. Among l these are cannas. dahlias, amaryliis blue nile lily, coral plant, gladiolus l narcissus, tulips, crocus. iris, hyacinth l snoWdrop and day lilies.

rt+G CULTURE OF ruBERosEs.

Editor Social Corner: I am not sur pxtsed Aunt Judy desires information upon the culture of the tuberose for it Is a most fnnfcky bulbous plant. It is obtained in Central Africa, but most of our commercial bulbs are grown in the south of France. It requires a rich leaf mold and sand for its nurture and high temperature. Where 1t is cultivated in conservatories a heat of from 60 degrees to 70 degrees is required. A cold, clayey loam Is no place for it's growth and the seasons fin this latitude are not always warm enough to bring 1t to perfection. It needs a warm soil, high culture and zfter t reaches the bud should be stimulated with liquid fertilizer It fails about as often as 1t comes to perfection. It is in demand because of its strong odor, but the reason it is not cultivated more is because new bulbs are required every season. The cornus do not multiply like those of the lily in northern climates. It is a worthy ambition on the part of Aunt Judy to want to grow 1t and she may succeed if the average temperature of the season meets it's requirements.
 It is well to bring in from the woods for the shady places in the yard ferns, vioiets, cranes bill, hepatica and other hardy plants which thrive in the shade. They readily take root and continue to reproduce themselves year after year.

A DAINTY RoUDoIR SET.

An exceedingly dainty boudoir set, consisting of three articles namely cap, slippers and garters. is devel- oped in dotted net. and embellished with lace ribbon and a delicate ribbon vine of tiny pink rosebuds and leaves.
 The cap is constructed entirely of the dotted net, lined with white chif- fon, and gathered on a plain straight band of pale blue satin ribbon, about an inch and half wide, covered with heavy lace insertion and outlined with the rosebud vine. This band extends halfway around the cap and is met by a frill of the net edged with lace, which finishes the back of the cap and produces the Dutch effect
 Lambs wool soles form the founda,- ton for the slippers. The upper parts are made of blue satin, covered with the net, and finished with a rosette of blue satin ribbon. in the heart of which nestles a group of pink rose buds.
 The garters are plain, round and narrow, made of blue satin covered with net. and ornamented with the rosebud vine.

HOW TO KNIT RUGS.

Editor and Social Cornerites: We'll here l am again once more, after an absence of two weeks, working and hustling with my chickens. Oh, such a time as I've had with them.
 l went to call on Mrs. L., on North Main street She has some very fine yards, so thought I would have some just like hers. We'll, after much fuss ing and fuming I succeeded in getting nine of them built. No one can guess what a time I had with my chickens till I secured what I wanted.
 I wonder if many of the COrnerites who are chicken fanciers are much troubled with hawks They are very troublesome at our place. Often I can see as many as three at a. time sailing around overhead.
 Theoda and Lucy Acorn: Did you re- ceive the cards I sent you. I have not heard whether you did or not. In your next letter please let me know.
 How many of the dear folks have got their plants set out of doors?
 Dear Friend in FitchvilIe: I received yoUr very pretty card. l.. also received hers, which I think was very pretty. Isn't it about time you were taking a run out this way again. Remember it was in April you were out here last. I kept wondering what had become of you until I received your card.
 Here is a good hint for those doing ! tatten: Break back one side of the shuttle from the end about one eighth inch, and point the other, using this | point instead of a pin. when required. Try it and learn the advantage.
 l want to tell any Of the good folks who wish to know how they can make very serviceable rugs from rags. Crochet in double stitch, using large wooden or steel hook. Cut your rags from one-half to an inch in width ac- cording to the thickness of your goods, keeping the rags of one width togeth- CT: also cotton and Woolen together. The rugs may be of any desired shape round, oval, square or oblong and with points. For the latter begin as for a round rug, at the center, and widening to keep the work flat until the mat is eight inches in diameter; then widen by putting two stitches in, one at equal distance, making seven widening points. Continue working. widening in the same places always, until the rug is of the size desired. If you find the work is widening too rap idly. and is likely. to be a full, go around once without widening occa- sionally. By placing the straight edge of a mirror diagonally across a strip of crocheted lace, you can very easily determine how the turned corner is to be worked.

How Buttons Were Discovered.

 On that spring morning fair, When they awoke to find they had No garments fit to wear. But glancing round they chanced to see
 A fig leaf growing there, Amd straightway Eve began to make Some clothes for both to wear. She pinned them all together with Sharp twigs from off a thorn. And Adam was a happy man In his new shirt next morn; Till he began to Squirm around, And those thorns began to prick, And then he cried, Ouch, Mrs. Eve, How these blamed things do stick And as they through the garden roamed,
 They saw a curious sight. The button wood tree before them stood,
 With buttons. both green and ripe Then Adam never gTumbled more, And Eyes was a happy mood, As long as the button tree fourished And the button crop was good.

COUNTRY BOYS AND CITY BOYS

We hear so much of the superior advantage of the city boy over his country cousin that 1 was interested to read an article on What My Boy knows in well known magazine re- centiy in which a father gives some of the disadvantages of city life.
 The city poy certainly has many aG. NantageS in music. art, schools and so- cial life that are impossible to the boy on farm. but how many boys are content with the best? How many city boys reach the age of 12 years without attending some show that would not be considered decent for their mothers to see?
 In all cities and large villages boys of just good spankaEIe size can be found on the streets any evening. standing on the corners. making inde- cent remarks to women and often in the company of women of the lowest class: and after a young man has got accustomed to the society of girls who drink beer, laugh at a, coarse joke and allow love making from all the boys, can he be trusted with an innocent young girl. even his own sister?
 In the country young children are obliged to go so far to attend an en tertainment that some older person usually goes with them. but in the city or village young children are seen on the streets or at the pictures long after farmers bedtime.
 country boy is taught to respect motherhood in even the farm animals because cruelty would mean loss of money to the farmer; but many city and village boys look on the birth of an immortal soul as a disgrace or a subject for rude jokes.
