Mendel's experiments were < made 638 ' with the common. pea, but the . ' principles which he deduced from 1 his studies are applicable not only ng' to mankind but to all of the lower = animals, and are hence of importance to the public health worker, the botanist and the agriculturist. WHAT HOME SHOULD BE. ? . } .j|: (York News.) Home should be made the most inr !|; teresting and best loved spot on >\\ earth, not merely four square walls r of wood and brick. It should be the . ' fountain of civilization, the very ! :j: word should touch every fibre of the ^ I;! soul, and strike every chord of the human heart with its angelic fingers 1 ||; a place where things are centralized ' on the higher and better things of 1 fife, bringing forth in the highways ; ' :j: and byways an influence that will be : felt by all with whom it comes in ] | 'jj! contact. It should be a place where / ; ;|; the heart is, a place where angels l |;j unfold their* wings, the place we * ;!; love best, because it is the place ; i where mother is. Man can build a i ; |; house and roof it so as to withstand ff?e storms and the elements, but man with alt his genius and artisan | 8 science cannot make the home; that , ;j: ever was and ever will be the task J; of woman. It is she alone who can i : |: bring it to warmth and beauty. Here 1 jj; she reigns supreme.
