No Reputation From Women.

1t is discovered that women this
past year have invaded the Phi Beta
Kappa society, high citadel of learn
ing. in equal numbers with men. Suf-
ficiently dark was the hour when, in
1873, it was granted women attaining
equal scholarship to be admitted at ALL
But how much worse today when
next years report may show as many
as half dozen female in excess of
male members The whole trend here
would seem to ignore the fundamental
differences between the minds of the
sexes. We may even be forced to
abandon that picturesque phrase, the
feminine intellect" The time is ripe
for a stand, and this Rev. Oscar Vor-
hees, secretary of the fraternity has
just taken with a Canute-like gesture
at the national conference. Earnestly
ne recommends that annual admission
of women be curtailed. 1T will De
generally conceded" he blandly urges,
that a larger share of its (the soci-
ety'S) reputation must come from it's
men members. The New Republic.

POINTS IN POTTlNG PLANTS
sy EVA RYMAN-GAlLLARD.

Plants grown for beauty of their
foliage should be given rather large
pots, holding plenty of rich soil, while
those grown for blossoms should be in
smaller ones.
Root-bound plants seem to produce
more and finer blossoms, but this
should not be construed to mean keep
ing them so tightly root-bound that
they starve to death.
When the pot is full of roots shift
the plant to one an inch or two larger,
and fill the space with good soil.
Never fill a pot so full of soil that
the water runs off the top instead of
settling into the soil. Leave a space
vacant in the top Of the pot, an inch or
more, according to the size Of the pot
and the amount of water needed by
the plant.
For plants having hard, woody
stems, the soil may be level on the
surface. and no harm is done as the
water standing around the stem will
not injure it, but for soft, crown-cen-
tered plants like the primrose, the
soil should be higher in the center
than at the edge.
1t is well, too, to avoid pouring wa
ter into the crown Of the plant, as the
manner in which the leaves come up
to the crown Of the plant, and pro-

Roumanian Music.

AT the Paris exposition of 1900 there
was great rivalry between the Hun
garian and Roumanian orchestras. The
Hungarian gipsies came in bands there
several times to entertain the idle
Parisians. But the Roumanians We're
novelty. The RoumanianS played the
popular airs of their country on their
flutes and clarinets, airs moving and
tender. They also played, as did their
rivals from beyond the mountains, the
violin and the cObza, a kind of guitar
with ten strings which took the place
of the cymbal Of the gypsy orchestra
Everyone went to hear the Roumanians
because of their bizarre repertory
Their national costume was Of a strik-
ing character. Their white shirts en-
brOidered in many colorS, their white
trousers, braided with black, their
short, fringed waiStcOats added to their
picturesque appearance. when the
war is over" says a French journal
1.-The patrons of our cafes will substi-
tute the RoumananS for the crisp
haired gipsies."

Origin of the Siqn C.

The origin of the sign C as used in
Quadruple or common time may be
briefly explained. Formerly triple
time was indicated by complete cir
Gle, and was known as Perfect time.
To distinguish it from this, common
time or imperfect time. as it was then
called, was indicated by semicircle,
and this sign has developed into the
& now frequently used.
Sometimes the G has line drawn
through it. in which case it implies
two beats in bar, each of the value of
a minim. and has but one accent Oc-
caSionally the same sign is used to ex-
press four minims in bar. Time of
this character is called ALA Breve
time-reckoned or measured by the
breve, or TEMPO a Capella Utalian-
Chapel time), this latter referring to
its true use in church music.

Democracy.

To the door of every generation
there comes a knocking and unless the
household, like the Thane of Cawdor
and his wife, have been doing some
deed without name, they need not
shudder. 1t turns out at worst TO be a
poor relation who wishes to come in
ont of the cold. The porter always
grumbles and is slow to open. who's
there, in the name of BeelZebub?' he
mutters. Not q change for Il better
in our human housekeeping has ever
taken place that wise and good men
have not opposed it-have not prophe-
sled with the alderman that the world
wake up and find its throat cut in con-
sequence of it. The world, on the con-
trary, wakes up, rubs its eyes, yawns,
stretches itself, and goes about its bust
ness as if nothing had happened

COLD FRAMES FOR WINTERlNG
PLANTS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Successful gardening depends on
early production. Cold frame plants
are more certain to live than hotbed
plants and give larger per cent Of
good stuff than do the more tender
hotbed plants.
To construct one use two frames in
stead of one. The larger frame is four
and one-half feet by seven and one-half
feet and one foot deep. The inner one
is one foot smaller each way and only
eight inches deep.
The space all around the inner
frame, six inches wide, is filled with
dry sawdust well packed down.
The covering for the inner frame is
a glass-covered sash made to fit quite
close to the frame to exclude the air.
The outer frame is covered with an
oiled canvassed frame so as to be Wa
terproof.
A strip Of carpet, or other good
material, is kept over the inner sash
in severe weather.
We prefer shallow frames to keep
the plants from growing spindling.
We choose a location free from cold
winds and where a good exposure to
the sun can be had.
In such a frame there are 3,276
square inches, and allowing three
square inches to the plant, one can
have over 1000 plants per frame
Good rich soil is used and the under
soil is made quite loose to give a
chance for root growth. 1t is best to
grow the plants in the open and trans
plant on the approach of severe
weather.
Frames of a larger size are not
easily handled, nor can the same pro-
lection be given them. On mild days
we give light to the plants by remov-
ing the outer sash, and if safe we raise
the inner sash to admit fresh air
These frames are not expensive where
one can do his own work and they add
good per cent to the investment

SOME QUEER OLD "REMEDIEs"
Humorous as They Appear to Us,
They Were DeVoutIy Believed In
by the Romans.

The Greek physicians in Rome prac-
ticed one kind of medicine and the
Romans themselves-that is, the ma
jOrity of them-practiced their own
folk medicine which, according to a
writer in the Druggists Circular, was
combination Of some specific applied
or taken with little magic-What
George Eliot called 1.-THE medicine CIV
en- with a blessing" For instance, the
roasted liver Of a goat was supposed
TO be good for failing eyesight, the pa
tient holding his head in such a posi-
ton that the steam flowed around his
eyes. And when mixed with honey,
the same organ was supposed to be
fine remedy for dropsy; mixed with
bran, it was supposed to cure dysen-
terry. The sufferer from govt was ad-
viSed to follow an elaborate treatment.
First, he was supposed to kill a field
