Home Town Helps

NEED OF COTTAGE GARDENS Englishwoman Deplores ths Absence In This Country of Those Adjuncts to the Home. Mrs. Philip Martineau of London delivered an illustrated lecture at Washington recently on tbs subject of gardening. Mrs. Martinsan deplored the absence of “cottage gardens” in the United States, which she declared ere so roaHem te'Wwgtead Here, she said, “the back yard.” which she called “a most delectable name," is usually merely a place to bang clothes to dry. “A love of gardens," Mrs. Martineau said, “would, to some extent, curs the restlessness so often found among the poorer people of the United States. If a man loves bls roes buahos'ho always hesitates to move.” She declared'that gardening Is the oldest pastime in the world. Quoting Virgil and others—among them sir Francis Bacon—to prove bar statement “It is the one sport,” oho said, “devoid of jealousy, and a gardener, whether professional or amateur, is never selfish." What perhaps appealed to some of ths women present in what she said, more than anything else, was a remark that gardens and love of gardening “keeps one eternally young, for the old live in the past the middleaged in the present and the young in the future, the garden being essentially a thing of the future.” In England Mrs. Martineau said, every one plants his or her own garden, even duchesses and other women of the peerage. She spoke of the great help the Royal Horticultural society there is to every class, and hoped tor the establishment of some similar organisation in the United States.

COTTAGES MAKE BEST HOMES

Good Bones in Move to Got Away From Monotonous Ugliness sf Workmsn’s Abodes.

The archbishop of York has boon deeply interested in the conditions of tho English coal workers and his counsel to tho Tillage builders has been to avoid those "long Haos of monotonous ugliness ” so generally soon in house groups for ths poor. The London News quoted from an article in Scribner’s magastns recently telling of efforts in this country to effeet model town construction. Tho type adopted at E&lnftOQ. England (detached cottages, with a small garden) would appeal to to* arbrago American wage earner much more than any settlement idea, no 'matter boy attractive the first offers might Jto'.

IT WAS NEW TO THE BISHOP.

A Dinner Episode That Greatly Shocked His Dignity. At an unusually large dinner-party, where the guest of honor was an Engliah bishop, the butler, an elderly man, was obliged to bring In from a friend’s house an inexperienced lad to help him in the dining room. The awkward helper annoyed tho butler beyond endurance witn Questions as to his duties. Hs continued interminably until the butler, worn out and nervous, said ironically: “All you will need to do is to stand behind the bishop’s chair, and whenever his lordship puts down his glass you must reach over and wipe his mouth with a napkin.” That silenced his assistant But the young man actually took the order curiously, and as soon as dinner began he stationed himself behind the bishop, waited till his lordship had drunk and put down his glass, and then, as deliberately as his nervousness would permit, he opend out a largo napkin and wiped the dignified eld gentleman’s mouth f

A FRIENDLY LIFT.

"Climb on there, all you fellers that’a going over!”

Convincing Arguments.

The lawyer for the plaintiff had finished his argument, and counsel for the defense stepped forward to speak, when the new judge interrupted him. Hia eyes were wide open, and filled with wander and admiration for the plea of the plaintiff. "Defendant need not speak,” he salA "Plaintiff wins.” "But, your honor,” said the attorney for the defendant, "st least let' me present my case." "Well, go ahead then," said ths judge, wearily. The lawyer went ahead. When he had finished the judge gasped in even greater astonishment "Don’t it beat all!” he exclaimed. “Now defendant wins.”

The Missing End.

▲a Irishman on board a man of war was ordered to haul in a towline. After pulling in forty or fifty fathoms, he muttered to himself: “Surely, it’s as long as to-day and to-morrow. It’s p. good week’s work for any five in the ship. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last What more of lt yet? Ooh, murder! The say’s mighty deep, to be sure!” After continuing in a similar strain he suddenly Stopped short, and, addressing ths ofr fleer, exclaimed: ' "Bad manners to me, sir, if I ?don’t think somebody’s cut off the other end of it! It’s miss-

"How do yon dp, my boy?” said the president "What la your name?” "My name la Harry, sir," replied the child. "Harry, la It?" returned President Brown. "And did you know the evil one la often called Old Hairy?” "Why, no air,” answered the boy. "I thought ho was called Old Nick.”

Pigs on Shipboard,

The killing of a pig at sea Is always an occasion of much oot only for the reason that fresh moat la to be enjoyed—a great luxury on a ■ailing ship after perhaps months Of salt proviaions—but because what is termed a ? ."plg breese” or favorable wind may .be looked upon as a certainty. Pigs-when kept on sailing ships are often let out of their pens, and their movements, which are bettered to foretell the state of tho wind to be expected, are watched with keen Interest

Ancient Custom Kept Up.

To determine -the letting of a piece of meadow land, a guaint device was resorted to at Butterwlch, near Boston, England. A candle was lighted and a pin stuck In its side. 'Then bidding commenced. The candle burned until the flame reached the pin, which fell out, and the land was declared let, to the- last bidder prior to the pin falling. There are people still living who remember when the sandglass was used at auctions in Lincolnshire, and the candle and pin is a revival of sb ancient custom.

Discipline.

In the old days the wives of naval officers accompanied them on cruises. This privilege was suddenly withdrawn, and a certain Captain F. had his wife and daughter on board his ship at Nice when the order to send them ashore reached him. He sent the following reply to the navy department: "Received order. Communicated same to Mrs. F. She refuses to go. What do?”

To Take Out Coffee Stains.

The most difficult of all stains to take out are those made by coffee. With care, however, the stain can bo removed from the most delicate sill or woolen fabric. Rub the mark gently with a little pure glycerine, then rinse it in lukewarm water, lay a doth over the damp part on the wrong ride, and press with a cool iron until dry. Do not wet more of the material, than is absolutely necessary.

Historical Note.

"Wasn’t King John a wicked man?" said the professor’s little daughter ths other evening. "He used to run over people with his motor cars.” The professor was puzzled. “Haven’t you made-a mistake?” he inquired doubtfully. “Surely, your teacher didn’t toll you that?” “Oh, yes, she did. She told us that King John ground down the people With his taxis.”

Knew Something About That

“What does the poet say *a sorrow’s crown of sorrow* is?" mused tho thoughtful man. "I don’t know what the poet says,” replied the one who had had experience, “but I think it’s the aching crown a fellow has on the morning after he’s tried to drown his sorrow.”

Dickens' Fad for Jewelry.

The eccentricities of Dickens included aa exceeding fondness for gaudy jewelry, of which he wore a great quantity. No( «nly were his fingers covered with i esnalderable number of rings brilliantly set, but his person was adorned with all kinds of flashy gems. He specially delighted in his two watches, one in each lower pocket of his waistcoat, across which stretched a huge chain.—The Bunday Magaalne.

Tickling Trout

Tickling trout is an ancient if not exactly honorable way of catchtaig them. Tho band is inserted in fast;, water very cautiously under the fish when ho is resting quietly wlth hls head upstream and if the touch of the finger is light he will sometimes'allow himself to be tickled slightly. Whan tho hand is well under the fish he is flung out of the water over the "tickler’s" Shoulder.
