Mrs. Selwin came over last even
ing for little call. She seemed
somewhat surprised that Dick was
not home. 81 thought she said,
that since the political status of our
school books was decided upon in
this city that Dick would have no
more night work"
l explained to her that ''he was in
structing and entertaining the sales
men who were coming in one after
another"
"Oh," she remarked. The word
was simple but the infection was so
eloquent that even Aunt Mary gave
her quick glance.
you are looking well, Margaret,
was her next remark as she scrutin-
lied me closely.
81 am feeling well, - told her, ''but
can't think 1 look well. have been
wondering why nature imposed this
long penance upon women. The
agony of childbirth would almost
seem enough"
You are getting out of it fine, my
DEAR" said Aunt Mary. ''In this day
of the world a prospective mother is
honored that she does not have to
stink away for fear of ribald re-
marks or acquisitions of lack of
modesty."
"That word modesty always acts
like the proverbial red rag on me,
said Mrs. Selwin rather unexpected
~ for she is a very conservative look
ing woman with her white hair, her
beautiful complexion, her beautiful
clothes and her wonderful but incon-
spicuous jewels.
1.-THE first time l ever thought
much about it was when 1 was at
Miss Hills preparatory school. We

did woman and perhaps the very
best educator l have ever known.

logical explanation of human life.
Stop commanded Miss Hills.
What are you blushing about?'
''The girl could not answer.
Are you trying to explain a very
logical proceeding of nature?'
Yes, Miss HILL
Then, why do you, a little weak,
puny and deaf mortal of finite mind
and slavish desire to follow the
same path that some animal, prob
ably calf, before you has made, set
yourself up to say to nature-the
most beautiful, the most implacable,
the most wonderful thing that NOR
tails can conceive part of your
great plan is wrong and this part is
right; this part it glories me to talk
about and this part to mention makes
me ashamed.
L want to impress upon every
one of your minds young ladies, that
anything that is natural is perfectly
respectable 1 have forgotten most
of the physiology learned from
books under that woman but have
never forgotten what she said that
morning"
Little boy child, little boy child,
this long time of waiting is not a pen
ance but a school in which 1 am
learning every day how to talk to
you to teach you by words and ex-
ample how to look on life and to do
your portion of it.
And, little book, isn't it fortunate
for me that have two such wonder
full women as teachers as Aunt Mary
and Mrs. Selwin. I only hope that
when am as old as they are shall
be able to give some younger soul
with courage, hopefulness and trust
as they have to me.
Mrs. Selwin is not quite as sweet
as Aunt Mary but her mind is bigger. !:
Each in her own way has made the
best of herself and developed her :

Novel Fruit Barrels.

A partitioned barrel has been in
vented by fruit man in British Co
lumbia, patents for which have been
applied for in Canada and this coun-
try. 1t is similar to any ordinary
barrel, according to a commerce re-
port, but it is divided into two equal
parts by partitions which are adjusted
so that the barrel may be sawed in
two without injuring the contents,
practically making two half barrels.
The advantages claimed for the new
barrel are that it can be made of
cheap sawed lumber, shipped in the
knock down" state and assembled
easily at the packing house; also that
the fruit can be shipped without wrap
ping because of the firmness impaired
by the central partition, The fruit
shipped in it is said to arrive in per.

southern California, near Redondo.
London Tit-Bits states. 1t comprises
$50 acres, in which are grown sweet
peas of nearly every known variety
and color 1t constitutes a truly in

from the flowers loads the air so
heavily as to be almost unbearable.
Another single field Of carnations, 20
acres in area, located near by yearly

Besides these immense fields OF
sweet peas and carnations there are
many smaller areas in California de-
voted, respectively. to the growing for
market of chrysanthemums, violets.
daisies, asters, dahlias, all kinds OF
lilies, roses and SO forth. They are
cultivated in much the same way as
vegetables, requiring on an average
about the same care. Many of the
flowers are sold through the flower
shops of the cities, but the chief in
come to the growers comes from the
sale of seeds. The annual shipments
of flower seeds from California
amount to many tons.
