4APHRA BEEN.

Every rare," is the description by booksellers of the works of Aphra Behn, the most popular woman writer Of seventeenth century England. Per- haps it is as we'll, for whil2th lady's novels, plays, tales and poems were characterized by sprightly wit and much literary charm, they contained frequent passages which Boccaccio himself would have blushed to write. The lovely but immoral Aphra died just FPS years ago today, April 16, 1889, and was laid to rest in the clois- ters of Westminster Abbey, where the visitor may still see a black marble slab bearing this inscriptions:
 Here lies proof that wit can never
 be defence enough against mortal ity.
 Great poetess, o thy stupendous lays
 the world admires, and the Muses
 praise"
 Aphra Behn's maiden name was Johnson. and her youth was spent in South America, where, from her &C., quaintance with the native prince Or oonoko, she gained the material for her first novel. Upon her return to England she married merchant named Behn, and became a favorite of Charles IT. At the request of that monarch she went to Holland as a spy, and, through her many Dutch lovers, obtained much information of value.

TODAY'S POEM
ONE WOMAN.

Her eyes are not "cerulean b1ue'; Her "silver tresses' do not "fall In ripping waves of amber hue"; < She has no special gift at all This gentlewoman, sweet and good, Who sprang not from a royal race Yet wears her crown of womanhood With more than queenly grace. She does not seem "to float on air Like thistledown, amidst the
 dance"; Nor would her modest spirit care To "hold men spellbound with a
 glance" But she is gracious to the poor; The sick and sorrowful aver That when she enters at their door The sunshine follows her. She has not scared on learning's
 heights,
 Or sounded wisdom's depths pro-
 found; She only claims her woman's rights Where tasks for tender hands abound; Yet though she shrinks from themes
 dDSCTuSo,
 Nor studies "ethics'' overmuch, The common things in daily use Grow fairer at her touch Enjoying most where most she loves She has no great desire to roam, But by her pure example proves How love may sanctify home, And thus she rules with kindly hand The realm she understands the best While all her happy household band Arise and call her blest

There is an arm that never tires
 When the human strength gives
 way;
 There is Love that never fails
 When earthly loves decay"
 If you have a good true friend who stood by you through thick and thin for years, don't make the mistake of dropping the old friend for the new. People who have known each other for a length of time have well-n1gh discussed all the topics in the range of general conversation of interest to each. There is most always fascina- tion about new acquaintances. They are brilliont, witty, sympathetic and are brilliant, witty, sympathetic and some hearts by busting the time-worn friendship. When an old, true friend sees a newer friendship preferred he or she takes the matter philosophically or grows intensely jealous, proudly holding aloof Somehow these new friends seem to take a positive de- light in widening the breach. True presersce in times of trouble or need.
 New friends have not been put to this test. If they were they might be
 
 usually only for the time being. It takes time to mellow it into frmness.
 I knew one woman who had kind good woman friend in the days of her early struggles and poverty-one who cheered and advised her in her dark est hours. She married a poor, but honest, man. A bachelor uncle died and left him an unexpected fortune. Fv~nyo vHSy hi f1nxy fn sudden wealth. When she moved into a mansion a new fashionable chum busted the old friend, who still lived in the tenement.
 You couldn't have anything to do with her now,' said the fashionable chum. She quickly ingratiated her. self into the heart, of the newly rich woman. Soon she fairly owned her, as it were. Through her influence the letters of the tenement house woman were sent back unopened. Like many a newly rich young man the husband was induced to invest in Wall street shortly atfer a panic occurred. His fortune was entirely wiped out. He had only his hands with which to be begin life's work again. Then the fashionable chum knew her no longer. The old friend of the tenement house opened her heart to her, taking in the couple, actually saving them from want, until the husband could find work at his trade. It is not every wo- man who has such a strong lesson on friendship neted out to her When one has a true friends friendship it should be considered above rulbies Ere allowing one false thought to en- ter the heart regarding a true friend, stop, ponder we'll. Say with the poet: We've been so long together,
 pleasant and through cloudy
 weather;
 'Tis hard to part when friends are
 dear! Perhaps twill cost a sigh, a tear"

Through no fault of mine, | lost my job. l went to the city to find something to do, leaving my wife behind. She took a place with a well-to-do family. For ten months my search was fruitless. only got enough to keep myself poor ly-not a cert to send home to her. l was too discouraged to write to her. Now have found something to do at my trade and work regularly. I have written to her to come on and we'll start up housekeeping, but she re- fuses, saying she has had enough of me. love her and want her to take me back and give me another show to make good. How can coax her to do this? She is saving up fine money"
 Keep on writing her earnestly just how you feel over your separation. Patience will surely win out if she still loves you. Try to have an inter view with her if you can possibly ar range it. Half an hour face to face with her will be better than score of letters

A CLUB-AND HUSBAND.

Mrs. q. c. writes: 'I am married woman, the mother of three children. My friends are urging me strongly to join. a woman's club which is just starting here. My husband is just as strongly opposing the plan. He says if join he is sure the home will be neglected and the children will suffer Will you print something about it?'
 Your husband is in error in believ- ing the club life of wife and mother will interfere with her home duties A few hours during the afternoon twice a month will on the contrary prove of great benefit to the fagged- out housewife. All the work complet- ed and the children at school she has a right to feel she can use the time in a recreation that appeals to her. Wo- men do not gossip at clubs, but dis cuss the vital subjects of the day, such as the betterment of the home, the needs ofrgrowing children and all of the topics of interest well worth knowing

KEEP OFF THE GRASS

The above is the subject of an edi- torial in the Breeders Gazette in which the editors advocate that such a sign would prove a profitable pre- caution on many a farm at this time of the year. Grasses, like all other plants digest their food in their leaves which are their stomachs. The larger the leaf or plant growth the more plantfood can be digested. The first growth of grass is over 95 per cent water and contains almost no nutrition. Grass pastured too close ly in the spring is usually injured for the entire season. "F|eed is high, but it Is not so high that one can afford to ruin a good pasture by turning stock on it too early. "Keep off the grass" until it has time to grow" says the Breeders Gazette. Besides giving the grass a chance to make a start before turning on the
 stock some of the best stock men are finding that 1t pays to topdress grass land with manure and fertiliz- ers.> If the stand of grass Is light 1t also pays to SOW and harrow in some extra grass eeed.-Melvtn Ryder.

FOOD RIOTS AND FARMING

The above is the heading on an editorial in a leading farm paper. The editor points out that food for man and beast is of first importance yet those who live on farms where food is abundant can scarcely appre- ciate the bangs of, hunger that caus- ed the recent riots. All surplus food should be canned, evaporated and stored for future use. While poor distribution coupled with an under production was the cause of the pres ent condition it should serve as a warning this year. There should be a concentrated effort to produce feed for man and stock and build up the fertility of the soil for better produc- tion in the future so as to avoid food riots in land of plenty.-J. w. Hen ceroth.
