Altar Of Roses

While Bulgarians are fighting so
hard If is interesting for women TO
remember that in that country are
raised 10000 acres Of roses from which
the celebrated altar OF roses is dis

The same report gives results Of
tests with eight varieties of wheat, five
varieties of barley, eighteen varieties
of tomatoes, and four varieties onions.
The experiment with two varieties
of mangelS indicated that the Golden
Tankard variety gives larger yields in
the section than the long red mangel,
and that barnyard manure is very val
liable in growing this crop. On ma
nured land the Golden Tankard gave a
yield of 27.5 tons per acre, while on I'M
MANFRED land the average yield was
17.2 tons.
In the onion experiments a fertilizer
test seemed to indicate that a complete
fertilizer composed of all three gave
better results than potassium suIphate,

when applied separately.

ed nature and animal games, imitat-
ing the sounds made by the various
animals. 'Barpyard' was a favorite for
while because they liked to crow
like the rooster and moo like the COW,
but after a few days when the hour
came for that they didn't want to do
1t any more. 1 have just about con-
cluded that all children are migrate
tul wretches and the more you do for
them the worse you make themI
And when 1 read this last letter I
concluded that she was right about
part Of her complaint-the more you
do for children's play, the worse 1t is
for them. That is the secret of the
whole difficulty, mothers dear. Both
these mothers, in their real desire to
train and develop their children to
the best and highest that is in them,
are making the mistake of giving
them too much supervision. In the
one case the teacher mother wants to
instruct her child by means of his
play. and so she makes lessons and
work out of his toys. That poor little
chap would get more amusement and
lot more instruction in the back yard
out of a train of cars made of a string
OF brickbats with another brick stood
on end for the smokestack! 1t is the
imagination which invests the brick
train with charm that the most cost
ly mechanical toy in the world cannot
offer.
The other young mothers mistake Is
exactly the same under another guise.
She, too, Is supervising-making tasks
out Of what should be left to the will
and imagination of her children. The
very fact that there is a set hour for
certain games takes all the element of
play out of them. You cannot raise
children any more than you can raise
cess.

Deep and regular breathing for Inn

of the divinity of breath to have found

of the mysteries the wisest of us cannot

health and happiness. Add to your ply

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 2S-Adelaide Ristori.
BY MARY MARSHALL

The most famous birthday patron OF
the 18th of January is one of the greatest
tragic actresses that ever nved-Adelaidt
Ristori.
She was born In Cividale Fruili, Italy.
In 1872. Her parents ere comedians an6
she took comedy parts when she was
very young with great success, but SHE
determined to make a name in tragedy
After her marriage she withdrew from
the stage for several years. but in 1855
true to her ambition, made her debut as
a tragic actress.
Adelaide Ristori knew that she pos
sessed talent of an unusual degree, AND
she considered this talent q gift from
Providence, which II was her duty L
give to the world-as much OF the work
as she could reach. Her tremendous sue
cess in her first appearance In Pari.
confirmed her in this belief, and in th'
next ten years she visited and played tr
all the big cities of Europe. Then, In
1866, she toured North and South Amer
lea, and in 1874 she went around tn,
world.
Adelaide Ristori was quite unspoiled by
all the praise she received. She was &
devoted wife and a careful mother. anC
her husband and children were her con
slant companions, even in her trip around
the world. Everybody who came int
contact with her loved her.
She said that punctuality was hel
watchword- She never broke her WORD
with the public, and IL she was booked
to appear. she appeared. whatever the
difficulties might be.
She was a very palnstaking worker
and after having Macbeth translated int
Italian, so that she could play It, sht
realized that Shakespeare was onl,
Shakespeare in English: SO she set Il
work and learned English, to be able u
play the great master in his nativ'
tongue.

HOROSCOPE.
THE stars incline. but do not compel
Friday, January IS, 1919.

Friday, January IS, 1915.
Astrologers read this as unfavorable
to most pursuits in business. The Sun,
Neptune, Uranus and Saturn are all ad-
verse, while Venus alone is in benefc
aspect.
1t is not a lucky time for soliciting CO.
operation or aid from any person or or
ganization welding power. For politi-
clans the rule Is particularly threaten
ing.
Actors and musicians should be care
full not to seek engagements or recogni-
ton while the stars are as inimical as
they are today Even though Venus,
their guiding planet, is friendly, there Is
such strong opposition that disappoint-
ment is probable.
The planetary direction is unfortunate
for commerce and the loss Of a vessel at
sea will be exceedingly serious in its
consequences to Americans
Congress and all other legislative
bodies are subject to influences counter
to sound reasoning and good judgment.
Dissensions and party differences OF far
reaching significance are foreshadowed.
The United States navy continues un-
der a government of the stars which pre-
sages sensational events. For those who
are in supreme authority perplexities.
enmities and misjudgment are prognos-
ticated. Again changes in the executive
organization are indicated.
Women have rather a good leading to-
day, and they should be successful in
shopping, household duties, entertaining
and charitable work.
Love affairs should be rather satisfac-
tory, while Venus Is friendly, but senti-
mentality, which brings unhappiness, is
Indicated.
Both men and women should guard
against nervous disorders and mental de-
pressions The seers declare that the
year will be exceedingly wearing and ex-
hausting to people Of the United States,
who will be disturbed by the unseen
forces that cause war and bloodshed.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may have
many ups and downs in the coming year.
They should avoid business changes. The
young have the augury Of romance and
marrigae.
Children born on this day probably will
be high-strung and restless. These sub
jects Of Aquarius are usually industrious
and persevering, but too impatient tc
make the most of their opportunities.
The Washington herald., 1916-01-28

Play which is supervised is not play
at all. II is, instead, a task-some-
thing set the child to do-and from 1t
he derives no more benefit in the way
Of recreation than from any other
work he is required to perform. There
is a fundamental difference between
play and work: work is something
done under orders and play is play be-
cause it is not done under orders. Play
is sometimes really serious business
that Is, child may really accomplish
some needed task about the home by
making IL a game, but because he
makes it a game and does 1t OF his
own volition it has for him all the
recreative value of play. But Heaven
Is supervised and therefore transform
ed into additional burdens for their
poor little bodies!
The question of public Fairgrounds
and the necessity for some one to
watch over the children playing there
to see that they do not get hurt is
a separate question and one which I
want to take up soon for the benefit
OF our city mothers; even there the
supervision is often overdone and the
real pleasure and value OF the play
ground are destroyed for the children
who frequent II. What I have in mind
dency I have noticed in mothers to
constant supervision Of the plays and
games Of the little ones in the home.
Here are two of the many expert
ments being tried out on some modern
children A mother writes:
Dear Aunt Chatty: 1 wish you
would tell me how to interest my baby
boy and get him to play with the toys
We buy for him. I get all the new
things that come out to instruct and
amuss children. When the mind
builder blocks were invented, I got
him a set Of them and tried my best
sps1 words with the different letters.
Then I saw those wonderful construc-
ton tools out Of which you can make
bridges and towers and any kind of a
modern building and got those; but
they did not appeal to him. The last
purchase was a train of cars run by
electricity. I paid twelve dollars and
bought a good big one, thinking to
Interest him in the uses of electricity,
but that is thrown aside now and I
can hardly get him to look at II. It is
discourag ging. / used to be a teacher
before was married and was counted
a successful one, and 1 do not like
to think I cannot teach my own child
anything"
Another troubled mother wrote:
Dear Aunt Chatty: When 1 read
your talk on mechanical toys i
thought 1t was the most sensible thing
I had heard about bringing up chill
dren, and so I put away all the ex-
penstve things my children had had
given them and resolved to let them
play simple games and with simple
things. 1 have plenty of help about
the house and am able to give all the
time the children need to showing
