She forgets that he, in contact with the world, is constantly advancing, while she, at home, does not keep up with his advance. It takes woman of superior mind to accommodate her mental attitude to this state of facts. If tlje man has the best intellect and she dwells in the past trouble is sure to ensue. He realizes his present <superiority, she only remembers herself as she was.—Ex. A magnolia tree in bloom, a decided novelty for northern Indiana, especially in December, is being exhibited at the city waterworks at Bluffton, where it is growing and blossoming in a big tub inside the dynamo room. This room is always at summer heat and there ife plenty of light, so that there is no reason that the tree should not be in blossom all winter. The tree was grown from a start sent by a southern friend to Mayor John Mock. The blossoms give off a fragrance that can be noticed all over the big dynamo and pump room.
