FLOWERS MAKE THE HOME
Writer Ascribes 20 Woman the Beau
tIfIcation Of Abode That Fingers
In the Memory.

The difference between a home
and a camp is a blossom. Until
flowers were planted about the abode
Of men, until blooms were cultivated,
there we're no permanent homes, no
fixed places Of abode. Tents were
struck and a new location sought.
Attachments were not formed for
localities. We were a wandering,
shiftlcss, comfortless lot until a
woman trudged in from the thicket
and planted vine or shrub or flower
about the tent and called it home.
1t was a woman, Of course. Man,
in his coarseness, never thought of
sticking a stem into the earth and
having color and fragrance forever
in his presence. Only woman could
have thought of that.
And since the first good day when
the woman planted a flower and
loved it into poisoning the home
has been fixity. 1t has been CEN
ter of the affections. The building
may be destroyed, the individual
members of the family may be scat
tered to the four winds, but the home
remains a fixture in the memory
and the blossoms do not fade or
wither in the mind.-Columbus Dis.

SURE HARslNeERs OF SPRING
Not the paffodlI, but the Sports That
Belong to the Season, Herald
Its Coming.

1t is a tribute to the eternal child
tarrying all his lifetime in his heart"
that each grave and reverend senior
of Yale pays in the spring when for
a day he rolls a hoop and flies kite
and shoots a marble in ring and
plays mumblety-peg and jackstones
and every other game that is older
than the Petrie papyri or Amenho-
tops tomb.
1t is the baseball, not Shake
speare's daffodil, that comes before
the swallow dares and takes the
winds of March. Every sufficient
patch between the lingering SHOWS
is an anxiously watched and swampy
harbinger of games of one-old-cat,
a potential theater of fierce argu-
ment between the umpire and the
batsman, the latter having always the
advantage of a bludgeon in his hand.
You can tell it is spring, not by
the first emergence of the snowdrop
upthrust in whiteness amid the yell
low green of the new grass, not by
the purple exclamation points Of the
crocus or the embryo blossoms out
tracing the bay window-not by these
things, but by boys kneeling in
brown mud and playing the cueless
billiards of the ground.

JOY IN CARING FOR CHICKS
Delight Of Incubator Mother Well Set
Forth by Writer In the Atlantic
Magazine.

What incubator mother can regard
without emotion her downy and null
titudinous brood in their infantile
dependence-she who is to them the
Almighty, the author and preserver
of their being?
What a pleasure to deal out the
wholesome ration, to watch the little
crops distend, and to see the downy
mites steal away one by one to the
sunny corner, there to spread them
selves for an after-dinner nap of alb
solute content!
How comforting to nest them cos
lily at twilight, to listen to their
sleepy chirpings and to secure them
from all those night terrors of little
chicks-cold and wet, rats and cats,
owls and vermin; to insure them
that dreamless sleep which is the
condition of normal growth in uni
versal babyhoodl
How it touches ones heart when
some adventurous truant, struck
with sudden terror of the vast world
into which he has ventured, flies
shrieking into ones hands and
cuddles there with gradually abatine
sobs-for all the world like terri.

RECRUITED IN UNIQUE WAY
English officers Used Somewhat Un.
usual Method in Raising East
Indian Regiment.

An interesting story is told of the
way the Thirty-sixth Sikhs, which so
distinguished itself in the Tirah
campaign, was raised. Its formation
was intrusted to Col "Jim" Cook
and Capt. H. R. Holmes, and the
methods adopted by the last-named
officer were somewhat unique. Given
a few men of the Fourteenth and
Forty-ffth Sikhs, Captain Holmes
found a difficulty in obtaining re-
cruits for the new corps. Eventually
he went to Loodiana, a fruitful re-
cruiting ground, for the purpose of
looking for men himself. Each time
he entered a village he challenged
the local wrestlers and competed
with them on the understanding that
all he beat should join the new regi-
ment. '-'.-.~" " ~
Although some of the native
wrestlers beat Captain Holmes and
the members of his party, most of
the challengers gave in. The result
was that in four months he had got
together by this very strange method
the finest batch of native infantry
that ever stepped.-London Tit-Bits.
