Plan. For = Hanaina Basket.

Indoor gardeners will be interested
In watching this plant grow. 1t fol
.ows the plan of the stra wberry In
sending out runners and starting new
growths at the end Of the stem. The
strawberry, however, has the earth te
establish its new growths. This In
door plant sends out the runners crop
he for earth where there is none. It's
cuiled the saXifrage.
1t is favorite plant for hanging bas-
kets. A small tuft Of leaves develops
at the end OF each vine From this
tuft other runners are sent out, anG
these In turn develop more tufts. B!
this method the saxifrage keeps on ex
banding until the basket is covered
with a network of vines and blanke
of leaves.
The leaves, shaped like those of thu
geranium, are a reddish olive color
veined in white. 1t requires ordinar.
soil and q moderate amount of watel
and shade.-Philadelphia North Amer

Tranedx of Ra;nn Dull.

Arnold Bennett describes The TRACED
Of being dull:
THE nan lacking Imagination is til,

essai.ily the man who never has ant
cannot have any point of view excep,
his own. He is the Wordswoithia,
man to whom primrose by the river.
brim was strictly a yellow primros,
instead of being q miracle. He is i'm
prisoned in what to him is the actual
and he is always the exact center o.
the prison, Whit h is of thickest iron
His TRACED! is that he does not sus
pect and is incapable of suspectin.
that he is in prison at all and that tbs
prison walls and floor and roof entirely

He l. always i'll his own place, Thi

N MI lkALuusf up WuhAt
That Is Her Weapon, Charm aaa Nor
~, and isn't the Same Kind az
the Masculine.

In ordinary times, when no world
movements stimulate, the chief exas
peration of woman resides in jealousy.
It differs from male jealousy, for the
male is generally possessive, the fe-
male competitive. / suspect that Euri
pides was generalizing rashly when he
said that woman is woman's natural
ally. She Is too sex-conscious for
that, and many Of US have observed
he annoyance Of mother when her
son weds. Competition is always vio-
ent, SO much SO that woman is gen.
orally mocking or angry If a man
praises ever SO slightly another WON.
an. II she Is young and able to make
claim on all men, she tends to be
still more virulent because her claim
is on all men. This is partly due to
the marriage market and it's restric-
lions, but it is also partly natural. No
doubt because it is natural, woman
attempts to conceal that jealousy, ma
ture being generally considered ig-
noble in the civilized world In this
respect we must accept that an as
sumption of GOODNESS is considered a
means of enticing man. 1t may well
be that, where woman does not exhib-
1t Jealousy, she is with mastery skill
suggesting to the man a problem:
Why is she not jealous? On which fol.
lows the desire to make her jealous,
and entanglement-W. L. George

Real Democracy.

Before Denmark consented to sell
the Danish West Indies to the United
States a plebiscite was held, and the
electorate voted upon the question
The people of the United States, how
ever, were never consulted as to wheth
er they desired to make the purchase.
The people Of England vote directly
on national questions whenever parlia
ment Is dissolved, and the government
"goes to the country" on nearly ever!
matter of really vital import.
Many Americans fondly imagine that
the United States is the only real de
mocracy in the world. AS a matter OF
fact, in Switzerland, Australia and
New Zealand government is more di
rectly responsible to the people than in
the United States; Canada's govern
ment is at least equally representative
as ours. while England. although romi
nally a constitutional monarchy, prob
ably is more democratic than the Unit
ed States.-St. Paul Dispatch.

in company with bright young rail-
road superintendent. As we rushed
past Monmouth Junction I mentioned
what q hot day 1t had been when the
battle was fought-59 British died Of
Eunstroke.
Queer" answered the railroad man,
Il never associated Monmouth juno
ton with Washington's battle with the
British"
A good spot for a railroad station to
commemorate that historic event!
You may stop at Paoh, but you would
never guess from the cut-and-dlied
little station that anything had ever
happened one night near there to Mad
Anthony Wayne's soldiers.
There Is pretty station at VALLEY
Forge, but it is hardly monument fol

was Unfortunately proud of his new gray

day to come so he could wear 1t. And
when the day did finally arrive, he
begged to be permitted to stay after
Sunday school for the church servica

any other young man would do. But
before permission was given he had
to promise to listen to what the mir

When the lad reached home he WAS

Let me give you an unfailing meth
cd for gathering in all the rats fof
miles around.
Get large tub, fill it about three
parts full with water. Stand brick
on its end, in the middle of the tub.
Get some brown paper as bridge
stretching from the rim Of the tub to
the brick, all round the tub, SO as not
to let the water be seen. Then put
slab or board up against the tub for
the rats to run up.
Put piece of meat as a bait on
the top of the brick, and saturate 1t
with oil of rhodium. The rats will
come from all quarters at the very
smell of it. The first rat that runs up
the bridge tries to get at the bait, and
falls through the brown paper into tha
water. He then climbs on to the top
of the brick and starts to sQueal.
All the other rats for miles around
come rushing to the aid of their dis
tressed comrade and each one topples
into the water and is drowned. Only
one can occupy the top Of the brick at
time. By this means whole neigh
borhoods could be cleared very rapidly

Of energy, but if properly directed it
aims at making an efficient man before
an efficient product. Therefore pro
duction may not exact that the man
speed up beyond his endurance.
The recent application Of efficiency
methods makes the vacation more than
ever necessary. "The vacation" says
the Medical Journal, should be the
nearest approach to the simple life. 1t
Is for this reason that the country, with
all its many Inconvenience, is so often
chosen for the place Of vacation. The
vacation period allows for the ABSORB
ton and elimination Of the fatigue
products from the system accumulated
in the pressure period Of the work.
The longer the vacation, therefore, the
better the subsequent work."
