Ferns are the rivals Of palms in the
affections Of the indoor gardener and
are considered by many the more
charming plants. No one can dispute
the beauty Of the graceful maidenhair
or it's more hardy sister. the Boston
fern.
The former. while exceedingly diff.
cult to raise. will fully repay all care.
The chief requirement for ferns is an
absence Of water on the leaves. for 1t

Ferns. however. require an ample
supply Of water ut their roots ut all

1t has been said that most women

this is only one of the ISLANDERS of
women that are being daily disproved
by able and progressive women. Ger
tainly the subject Of this sketch, Mrs
Nelson Herrick Henry. has proved her

ago she conceived the idea of wom-
ans industrial exhibition and national
housewives exposition and has carried
it through several seasons Of triumph

nually in New York city for the bene
fit Of charitable organizations.
The exhibition gives one Il good idea
of the progress women are making in
the professions and in philanthropc as
well as industrial work Representa-
tives of many arts, crafts. professions
and phi!nnthropies are present and at
their various booths exhibit either spec.

what they have accomplished.
Mrs. Henry is the wife of the sur.

southern woman. her birthplace hay

marriage to DR.. Henry she was sue

Those who know Mrs Henry best es.
TEEN her most highly. which is the
highest compliment one can pay to a
woman who numbers her friends by
hundreds. Tactful and well bred, she
has yet the force Of character to carry
to success anything which she may I'M

EVERYDAY THOUGHTS.

We can't all win in the battle
of life. but if fortune doesn't ia
vOr us We can ut least try to be
good losers. 1t isn't easy, but
it is possible.
1t would save such lot of
disappointment If we could all
make up our minds to the fact
that never so long as the world
lasts will other people agree with
us as to what they should or
should not do.
Some of us badly need to be
reminded that home is not a
place provided for the express
convenience Of people who want
to grumble.
If you want to enjoy life set
ont every day with IL determina-
ton to be amused and interested
and refuse to be bored.
If a blessing Is removed don't
make yourself miserable by la
menting its loss. Look round
and see If there are other bless
ings within reach that you have
never made the most Of. Give
these little attention.
Discomfort is so infectious that
people who habitually allow
their discomfort to get the upper
hand really ought to be isolated
for the benefit of the commu-
nifty.

when Galland translated 1t into French.
Scholars cast much doubt on the au-

than translating. but with the public

PARCEL POST CARRIES
BLANKETS FOR LOGGERs.
Under new postal regulations, Uncle
Sam makes travel for wander
ers quite easy.

The modern logger, according to
Postmaster r. G. Philbrick of Ho-
GUAM. is making Uncle Sam work
for him now. He is shipping his
luggage by parcel post. Unincumber-
ed he has an easier time making his
way to his destination. Loggers of
Grays Harbor are using the new
system extensively for transportation
of his blankets.
The logger's outfit is carried so
miles by mail for 80 cents. The new
plan foreshadows the passing of the
old scene of the knight of the woods
with pack on his back.
