IS PRETTY ORNAMENT CHEMICAL GARDEN A MOST EF FECTIVE CENTERPIECE. -Mot at all Costly, and Easy to Pre pare-Beautiful Designs Possible if the Proper Materials Are Employed. It is very easy to secure a most .charming effect by the formation of a chemical garden. The best kind of receptacle is a glass vessel of some kind or other, and, on the whole, there is nothing better for the purpose than a globe such as is commonly em ployed for goldfish. All that need be purchased are a couple of ounces of sulphate of cop per, a few pieces of aluminum, a hand ful of Iron nails and finally a can of "water glass." This latter substance ls, of course, extensively uspd for preserving eggs. The first step i3 to arrange an inch ?or so of sand in the bottom of the globe. Then place the sulphate of copper, the aluminum and the iron nails on the layer. The different min erals should be well mixed up togeth er. A solution of the water glass should now be prepared, taking one part of ?his material to three parts of plain -water. Mix well by means of continu ous stirring with a stick. The next thing to do ls to pour the solution of water glass over the minerals; the actual quantity of the liquid employed will depend upon the size of the glass ?vessel, but it may be mentioned ?hat in depth the solution should not be less than four inches. The globe Is now placed aside where lt will not be disturbed for a week. At the end of this time lt will be seen that a most beautiful growth, In al most all conceivable colors, has start ed up from the minerals. This growth of course, represents the sPlcates of the various substances. Mu**, people will be astonished at the beautiful ef fect which ls secured. The final step consists in clearing .-away the water glass. This must be .carried out with great care, as many of the growths are of a fragile de scription. Probably the best plan is to take the globe to a faucet and very gently run water into the vessel until the contents look quite clear. Naturally after this has been done the growths will appear to even finer advantage than they did when first of all observed. The chemical garden will now last for a long while if it is not disturbed by frequent moving about YOUTHFUL GOWN Model of striped ratine with corsage of Batin. Belt of satin ribbon finished with heavy chenille tassels. Summer Stockings. Embroidered clocks on stockings ar? never more appropriate than when worn with an organdie dress or a white lingerie gown that has upon it a touch of colored ribbon. If the col ored ribbon is omitted, embroidered stockings can be wcrn just the same, for the embroidery can be in white nlso.

A little English boy wrote to his grandmother from his boarding school, in time for her birthday. The letter i ran thus: "Dear Grannie: 1 want to send you a birthday present, but I j haven't any money. So if you will send me the money you always give me for Christmas now, I'll buy you something nice with it. I'm thinking of a pair of pistols a boy here will sell cheap or a gramophone that another boy has. I could use them until I come home." English Agriculture.

In a quiet English village there was ' recently held a celebration in the schoolroom at the dedication of a new fire engine. It was a giddy evening, j with three speeches by local clergy-, men and a long-winded oration by a bald-headed politician. The gem of the evening was the following toast: "May she (the fire engine) be like the dear old maids of our village-always ready, but never wanted!" In Her New Place. "How are you getting on at your new place?" remarked a lady of a girl whom she had recommended for a sit uation. "Very well, thank you," an swered the girl. "I am glad to hear it," said tho lady.

Woman Finally Recovers From Nervous Breakdown Impoverished nerves destroy many people before their time. Often be fore a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good con dition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner. 825 N. 18th St., Birming ham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nerv ous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best doctors in Birmingham, but they all failed to reach my case. I would feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw ? Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take lt. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a 1 general run down condition and unable to hear your part of thc daily grind of life, you need some thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the mat ter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine ? has proven, its value in nervous dis orders tor thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other remedies have failed to help you. Sold by all druggists.
