CULTIVATING FEHNS, How They Can Be Raised and Kept Flourishing. Ferns are among the most graceful and beautiful of foliage plants. For a shady -nook' in the yard, during sum mer, for a shaded window or for hall deeoratioe in winter the Perns will be found desirable plants, says Garden Magazine. They like a cooler atmosphere than most plants grown for the window, and for this reason a cool room or hall suits them best. A temperature of from 50 to 65 degrees is warm enough for most of the greenhouse specler. Keep in a light, moist, shady place and as soon as the youug plants are large enough pick them our and pot In three inch pots, placing half a dozen in each pot As they become larger they may be potted singly. When the ferns once are established in pots do not repot them more than once a year and that Invariably when the plants are in a dormant state. Un der no circumstances should the foots be disturbed while growing. As the plants become larger the soil should be more lumpy and coarse and should cbnsi3t of one-sixth part of charcoal or broken crockery, which will keep the soil poroup aud sweet It is a mistake to use large pots for ferns. They will thrive with less root room than the majority of cultivate; plants, and it is not unusual for florists to allow the plants to remain in the same pet for more than one year. Ir this event however, the soil is en riched during the growing season by liberal applications of liquid manure. Great care should be taken' that the plants do not suffer from dryness at the roots. This will stunt them and seriously Injure their vitality. Ferns are not attacked often by in sects. The young fronds sometimes are troubled by green fly, but this pest can be effectually destroyed by fumi gating, syringing and washing with | tobacco water. The scale insect is the worst foe and is diflicult to dislodge. Repeated washing with camphor wa- j ter or diluted alcohol when the plants j are at rest will be found effectual. How to Keep Honey. Honey should always be stored in a warm place. If kept where It will be come cold it often granulates or. as the process Is more commonly described, candied. Amateurs often place the produce of their hives in a cool location and are surprised at the result When liquid 'honey has granulated, says Sub urban Life, It may be restored to its former condition by placing the re ceptacle in which it is contained in a dish of hot water. Many, people who buy liquid honey at the stores believe that the honey has been adulterated if they find it granulated. As a matter of fact this is oue of the best tests of Its purity. A bottle of so called honey which has been \largely adulterated with glucose Will granulate but very little. Of course it does not follow that because the honey is not found to be granuto ted it is not pure, for if kept In a w^arm place honey will often con tinue for a long time perfectly clear. As a matter of fact, under the new pure food laws'there is comparatively little danger of purchasing adulterated honey. Comb honey has never been adulterated. -In spite of the assertions to that effect which often have ap peared in print The food value of honey ought to be better known. It kcan be used to great advantage In cooking and can be especially recom mended as a substitute for sugar, as it places almost no tax on the kidneys. How to Find a Gas Leak. It Is unfortunately very usual to seek for a gas leakage with a lighted can dle, a proceeding which is responsible for many explosions. Instead open the windows of the room to let out the obnoxious gas and admit the fresh air, and mix a pound of soap, cut in shav ings, with three and a half pints of water and apply this' sticky fluid to the gas pipe with a brush. The leak in the pipe will be indicated by bub bles in the soapy application, and the damage may be temporarily rectified by rubbing the spot with a cake of soap, softened by being used, which will stop the leakage of gas till the plumber can arrive to execute a per manent repair. How to Loosen a Glass Stopper. There are several ways of loosening the ' glass stoppers of bottles or de canters. One is to stand the bottle in hot water; another is to drop a little oil between the stopper and the de canter with a feather and set near the fire. After a time strike the stopper gently on all sides with a piece of wood and if it does not move repeat the process. A strip of flannel around the neck of the bottle, pulled back ward and far ward to produce friction, will sometimes loosen stoppers. How to Mako Cheap Kindling. Spread open sheets of newspa;jer up on the floor. Sprinkle a little coarsely pulverized resin over them, then fold, roil and twist tightly into strands the proper length for the cook stove. Place four or five sheets thus prepared in the fire box, then sprinkle two or three fire shovelfuls of soft or bituminous coal over them. Ignite, and in a few mo ments you will have as nice a fire as If expensive pine kindling had been used. How to Mend an Oriental Rug. First get yarns of the various shades found in the rug, examining it care fully to become familiar with the stitch and shades. If the piece to be mended Is only slightly frayed or worn, work over it with a stitch corre sponding to that in which the rug Is woven. If there is a large hole, baste a piece of fine canvas on the under side and work Into this the colors and designs which are used in the rug. Passed Examination Successfully. James Donahue, New Britain, Conn., writes: "I tried several kid ney remedies, and was treated by our best physicians for diabetes, but did not improve untl I took Foley's Kidney Cure. After the second bottle I showed improvement, and five bot tles cured me completely. I have since passed a rigid examination for life insurance." Foley's Kidney Cure cures backache and all forms of kid ney and bladder trouble. Dr. A. C. Dukes, I [ CHINESE BABY. What Happens in a Celestial Homo When Child is Born.

A Work-Basket Made of a Hat. Any little girl who wishes to sur prise mamma with one of the prettiest work-baskets she ever saw, can ea-ily do so .by following these directions. First, get a grass straw hat, as seen -^ in figure 1; it will cost five or eight cents. Soak it in warm water, turn it inside out, when it will appear as shown in figure 2; face that part of the rim that is turned up with pink satin, holding on the top and bottom, sew a cord over this to conceal the stitches, divide the rim into four parrs, bend it half way up and sew it in the four parts designated, firmly to the crown to form the four pockets; the stitches dan be made invisible with a little pains You will need just a half a yard of satin for the facing. A bow of pink ribbon is fastened on one fide with three long ends. A little needle book, thimble-case and emery made of the ribbon, are attached to these. Twelve "Dont's. Don't worry the children. Don't worry about them. Guardian angels still exist, even in the twen tieth century. Don't, lose your temper with the children. Don't give way when you have de cided on any plan for them. Don't leave them too much with the servants. Don't repel their little confidences. Don't get impatient at their most unanswerable questions. Don't indulge them foolishly. Pon't forgot to encourage them and praise their little efforts to please you.' Don't show favoritism, says Wo man's Life. Don't disagree about them. Their father and mother should always be in unison in their training. Don't forget that they are God's children, lent to you for a season. Love and Marriage. Love and marriage have naturalis deep and abiding influence over the thoughts of woman. When the last century was young early marriages were very common and a young girl was frequently a wife and mother several years before reaching the age of 20. Now it is an unusual occur ranee for a girl to assume such re sponsibilities until well on in her twenties, or perhaps thirties, and a wise change it is, for upon consider ing girls of 15 and 10 at the present day it would be an open question as to whether they would be willing to fore go all the joy and happiness which comes at no other period of life and settle down into the house mother Let the girls play golf and tennis, let them row and dance,, let them read and study and fit themselves for the greater work which comes with later years. Let their judgment mature and there will be fewer mistakes made in choosing a life partner and less cause for divorce. Where Girls are Cheep. China is the great slave country of the world. Of a population of -100, 000,000 there are slaves to the number of 10,000.000 Every family of means keeps its girl slaves, and a man's po sition is usually gauged by the numuer he keeps. At any age from three to fifteen girls are sold, eight being the age at which most change hands. The girls are supposed to do housework, it reing cheaper to buy than to hire. Slaves vary in price; $10 is about the average, but much depends on the girl's appearance. A good looking girl will fetch $20 or even $40.?De troit Tribune. The finest Coffee Substitute ever made, has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop of Racine, Wis. You don't have to boil it twenty or thirty min utes. ".Made in a minute" says the doctor. "Health Coffee" is really the closest Coffee Imitation ever yet pro duced. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either. Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert?were he to unknowingly drink it for Coffee. A. L.

And, set within a crystal frame Of frozen streams, the shaggy boles Of oak and elm with leafless crowns . Were painted stark upon the knolls, And cots and villages and towns In tawny red, or strove in vain To shame the white In which they stood. The fairest tint was but a stain Upon the snow that quenched the wood And paved the street and draped the plain. ?Joslah Gilbert Holland. GOING AND COMING.

A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE. TT""^ ICHES he has and a fair young i l) wife. 1"^^ Fortune has favored him well and I \ oft; She heaps his board with the sweets of life; He sleeps In a bed that Is wide and soft. But wrinkles are forming around his eyes, And far away where the mists are gray His boyhood lies. Honor is his; he has won renown; His place Is high and his fame secure; The world, when death shall have cut him down, Will raise a shaft that shall long en dure. But his form Is bent and his eyes are dim. And the careless joys that should be a boy's Are not for him. Fame and wealth and a lady fair? Who craves richer rewards than these? But far In the distant past somewhere Lie all of his youthful ecstasies! Pity the man who achieves his goal When desire has fled and the fire Is dead Within his soul. ?Chicago Record-Herald. THE INFINITE. mHE Infinite always is silent: It is only the finite speaks. Our words are idle wave caps On the deep that never breaks. We may question with wand uf science, Explain, decide and discuss. But only In meditation The mystery speaks to us. ?John Boyle O'Reilly.
