young seedlings to the garden as soon
as danger from frost is over.
The colors of some are very fine
and to one liking the single flowers
the plan is a good one Of getting
variety at a small price; but unless
started very early these seedlings
rarely mature tubers that will keep
through the winter, though they com
mence towering almost as soon as the
plants are started from the tubers.
The chrysanthemum-fowered asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
in masses and for cutting, than the
quilted bouquet sorts. If but two
kinds are chosen, let them be lavender
and white with rose as third choice.
When ordering seeds there is
strong temptation to order mixed
packets, yet If the very finest speci-
mems are expected, the surer way is
to single out one or two of the choicest
colors.
These are made up from the best
individuals, while the mixed packets
are what the name implies, though in
many instances highly satisfactory.
With pansies for spring, sweet peas
for summer, and asters for autumn,
one may be sure of having an abun-
dance of the most beautiful cut-howers
for all occasions.

C0LoRS IN ANIMALS

For summer Towering, ANNALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of seed packet is but trifie.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large punches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as
many square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in vase
rather than the Heterogeneous collec-
ton in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers if you would secure
the best effect
The old calliopsis 'ladys breastpin"
they used to call it, is a handsome
plant, its long slender stems render
ing it extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades of gold and brown
harmonizing nicely.
A mass of it next to the shrubbery
in the background gives a most pleas
ing effect.
Some handsome forms Of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a

W0RK-A-DAY NOTES

II the season is a dry one some
Of the plants in the garden will have
to be watered If you want flowers
from them. Especially is this true OF
gloxinia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil In which their roots grow,
and see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash day for this
purpose. The snap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup
ports for your dahlias. If this is not
done you will likely find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or hard rainstorm. The stakes
should be at least four feet tall
allow an extra foot and a half for in
sertion in the ground and they should
be at least an inch through, and OF
good sound wood. Paint them a dull
green and they will not be unpleasant

GOODNESS FOR ITS OWN SAKE
Better Live Up to Duty Than Have

II is not supremely important, how
ever desirable, that any single M of
orr beliefs in religion should be cor
rect not even our belief in God; but
if we try to live up to the rule OF
duty, which is love, we shall be &C.
ceptable to God whether We know any
thing about him or not; and we shall
not be acceptable to him, no matter
how correct our knowledge Of him, If
love be wanting.
Theology may be the queen Of sci
ences. but it is all a matter of opinion
or belief based on evidence, as to the
value and bearing of which good men
may differ. 1t is a noble study, worth
giving ones best thought to, but the
enforcement upon ones soul Of the OBJ
legation of duty until it is natural to
do right and impossible to do wrong
here is task, here is primacy. . . {.
Yet, as it appears to me, our pur-
pose and aim should be to love and

because it is good, rather than be-
cause it will secure happiness and
avoid misery in the future life. In the

PATCH LANGUAGE WITH SLANG
, ;herties. Some P~ardonable and Some
Not, That Are Taken With the
Mother Tongue.

The middle-aged lady said the hotel
was awfully nice, and the view OF the
bav. with surf breaking over a rocky
! nd. was awfully pretty. Her
.er described the hotel as plush
anu the view as swell The daughter
was, of course, using better language
than the mother, because her words
were more appropriate to the meaning
she wished to convey. Except the
speech of enraged deck hands, the
most awful language going is that USED
by ladylike persons who constantly
hitch the a%dverbial form of awe" 10
such words as good, sweet and pretty
Slang is an improvement on that.
If one must describe an infant as aw"
fully cute or yummy, the latter Is
preferable. The adverb appears to
he a too complicated part Of speech
for everyday use, anyway. we may
saw a thing is good or bad; but II we
wish to strengthen the adjective we
must make an unmannerly allusion TO
it's future state, which is forbidden IN
the presence of ladies, or else lug IN
some word that is absurdly inappro
priate. For example, if we are witt
ing of an underdone pie we may say
it is excessively bad; but If we are
speaking Of it we must say terribly
bad or punk. The latter is the better
term.
Anybody can verify the fact that thf
best language in q smoking compart
ment, on a hotel veranda or a boats
deck is apt to be that which leans
heavily on slang. In comparison Wit
other things done daily in the Engllsl
tongue, patching it with slang is
kind of Enthusiastically Evening
Post.
