In love with the pretty, rounded face,
witn its mulling eyes looking up so
confidently info mine, that shapely,
tempting mouth with Its saucy, curling
lips, that wealth of tastily arranged
linlr thrown back over the high fore-

Who was she? I cursed the flames
that had totally eaten nway the part
of tlj card that might have given
nine c'ie ns to whom the photograph-

And then my first lore dream re

my eyes blurred as I read the words

However, much of th" credit fot

to another parly, a sweet, rharinlng

heart.
And to-niglit. as iv sit c!ose to
gether linil -r tli" tl iwering trees, with
a fair union casting pal shadows
about us, I felt how hippy I was in
having won such a prlz , for we were
soon to wed.
There came a little lull In ottr con
versation and my mind was running
back to my previous little love affair,
the remembrance of which Incident
had never nuite left me. Then I mule
a resolution. Turning to my fair com
panion, I said:
"Vera. I must ennfevs to a little de

I drew th:' card from my inner
pocket where I hid carefully guarded
it ever since the night I so strangely
cam" by it. and not without some
slight feeling of the old passion, placed
my fingers in position to rend It
asunder. Then Vera asked to s-e it.
1 promptly handed it to her.
She gave a cry of surprise, and turn-
ing to me. nsked hastily
Where did you g 't that?"

Instead of being angry, ns I had
supposed. Vera burst Into a hearty
laugh.
"All. but Vera, you know ns t tie time

At tliis revelation of the strange
workings of destiny, I could only sit
and stare like a man bereft of his
sens; . Then I remembered the rude
shock I had received upon tuning tln
curd. Again torments began to rack
my soul.
'And Vera, the the wording on the

"You foolish, jealous boy! I had
mailed this very card to my mother,

wondered why she failed to receive

"And now. darling, you a-.-e mine

For answer she nestled closer to me.

t-'Hily Teat,
The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden Is one of the earlier var
ieties of peas. On account of the harili
ness of the plant no n mount of cold
weather will do much Injury after the
peus are once up, but when planted
extremely early a part of the seed will
rot In the ground, causing many gaps
In the row. Fairly In the season usually
there Is Utile nitrogen In the soli and
the plants grow very slowly at first.
A little nitrate of soda applied In the
row tit the time of sowing will hurry
the growth of peas. The market value
of the crop depends largely upon its
earliness. The kinds which 'do not re
quire bushing Hre most popular for
farm use. The late kinds often do not
produce a crop until warm weather
comes, and for that reason nre often
attacked by blight, which may be pre
vented by spraying with bordeaux
mixture same ns for apple trees.
Raisin Crop For llns.
flie hogs of this country are being
ruined by continuous feeding on corn.
In some sections to sii"h an extent has
this been carried that the animals sie
being raised nt considerable loss. Hog
raisers should understand that tlie an
finals in their care need protein to ob
tain the best results, just ns much ns
cows need protein. If alfalfa or clov
er cannot be grown to advantage, try
cowpeas, or, if your land Is too good
for such a crop, nnd you ivant some
thing for summer feeding which will
supply the needed protein, try Canada
field pens, which can lie readily grown
on any good laud.
The best plan for rnlslng this crop
Is to set trie peas at Hie rate of n peck
an acre, plow them under two of three
Inches and sow a mixture consisting of
a pi k of oats, a peck of barley and
one-third of a bushel of wheat to the
are. This will make a good growth
and furnish tiu abundance of food con.
tabling protein for summer feeding.
Sfasnn For Spraying.
The bordeaux mixture is recognized
as the most reliable of the mixtures
used for spraying fruit trees and plants
as well ns vegetable plants, and all
growers are now familiar with the for
mula. The causes of failure In spray
lug are generally duo to luck of tilor
(Highness somewhere In the work. The
materials may not he pure, Hie pump
used may be faulty, or the spraying
may not be thoroughly done or not
done at the right time, any one of
which faults makes the spraying more
or le.is Ineffective.
When poisons are to be used It Is
best to use them In connection with the
bordeaux mixture. Those who are ex
perle need in spraying have found that
the three-eight Inch hose Is the best for
use- on trees, for it Is not so hard to
bundle It either attached lo a pole or
from a ladder as the heavier hose. In
spraying see that the larger brunches
ot the tree and the trunk as well nre
covered thoroughly; In abort, do the
work thoroughly, leaf and branch, and

Influence Is not confined to the home,

The child should be taught to obey
the teacher without question. In no
other way can a teacher maintain the
order that Is necessary to produce
good results from her work. Some
times .lohnnle comes home telling how
severely he has been punished for n
slight offense. Itemember, when such
n story comes from the schoolroom,
that yon benr only one side of It, nnd
that even ndulls nre likely to pass
over their own wrongdoings when they
are telling the story to others. If
you ore sure that the teacher has
made a mistake In correcting a child,
It would be the worst thing you could

If something must be done, go to the
teacher kindly and ask her about It.
Nine times out of ten she wlU meet

If a man's age Is. as we have been

to feel as young as we can. Dr. Madl.
son .1. Taylor, iu n recently published
article, goes into detail somewhat and
ventures the opinion that men do not
stoop because they nre old, but that
they are old because they stoop. In
other words, a proper system of exer
cise, which keeps the upper truncal
muscles and the muscles of the neck
In good order, will also have a benefic

cerebration.
Applying the same rule to the other
half of the old saying, which main

we find u great detil to be said in fa

care for her health of body and mind,

ilon't jump up the first thing your

The vitality Is lowered and the circu

organs, especially to the heurt, as It
starts to pumping the blood suddenly,

Take your time In getting up. Yawn

the vitul organs a chance to resume
their work gradually.
Notice how a baby wakes up. It
stretches Its arms nnd legs, tubs Its
eyes mid yawns uud wakes up slowly.
Watch a kitten wake up. First it
stretches out one leg. then another,
rubs Its face, rolls over a ml stretches
the whole body. The birds do not wake
up and fly as soon as their eyes ure
open: they shuke out their wings and
stretch their legs waking up slowly.
This Is the natural way to wake up.
Ilon't jump up suddenly. Uou't be In
such a hurry. But stretch and yawn,
aud yuwii and stretch. Stretch the
arms aud the legs, stretch the whole
body. A good yawn aud stretch is
better even tbun a cold bath. It will
get you thoroughly awake, and then
you will enjoy the bath all the more.

Rubber complexion brushes are
being more and more highly prized by
wouieu who want to be beautiful,
both because they are sanitary, being
so easily cleansed, and also because
they supply a very agreeable frlctlou.
A rubber mitt recently Introduced
makes It possible for wotuea to en
joy the benefits of massage, even if
they cannot afford the services of a
professional masseuse. The mitt fits
snugly over the Angers, and with its
aid alt the various uiuulpulstlons may
be performed with much greater ease
than by tbe sols aid of the lingers.

Itnbber brushes may nlso be had
fitted with adjustable straps, so Hint

Ahvtslnlntl Women' Dtp's.
"For downright gorgeousness there
Is little that enn surpass n family
party of Abyssinian women bound
from one village to another lu festival
time, notably it bout Faster, for the
Abyssitilans nre Christiana." writes
Mr. I'rougbton Rrandenberg. describ
ing the life of the women of F.gypt In
an nrticle In Pearson's.
"A brilliant, bungle-adorned bend
dress Is bound over the brow nnd
drawn back to fall down tlie shoulders.
The upper part nf tin body Is clad iu
a blouse of red and white literally
covered with gold and silver orna
ments, flint nre banded down from
generation to generation. A short
skirt In the snme style comes below
the knees, and tlie legs nre encased In
brilliant-colored strips wound tightly
about like putters, often beaded and
spangled. The feet, usually bare, ore
variously adorned with toe-rlngs, ankle
bracelets and other ornaments."
The r.lft or a Hoi Temper.
One of the common complaints of
parent against child is. "He has such
a temper!" This Is not meant to be
a compliment and Is not commonly re
ceived as such. Hut Isn't It?
A child without a temper may he
very sweet nnd satisfnetory to Its
parents: lint It can hardly be a child
of any great force of character. Who
ever saw or heard of n person with
positive qualities, capable of being n
strong influence, that did not have a
high temper? A high temper gone lie.
yond control is nn unruly servant nnd
a hard master, but there are few more
favorable abilities than the ability
to get lntelllgiiitly angry for good and
Just cause, says the Saturday Evening
Post.
But to be Ill-nntured Hint's n vastly
different matter. It proves that one
bus either a very smnll mind or a very
poor digestion usually both.
Nursing anil Matrimony
It appears from the report of the
Itoyal National Pension Fund for
Nurses, says the London f!ruphlc, that
this way lies matrimony, and that,
though nurses may uot marry us early
lu life us some of their sisters, suitors
are forthcoming in due course for
most of them. This Is a right and
proper state of things. No doubt their
becoming uniforms are less effective
than their solid qualities in captivat
ing the male Imagination; but that
does not matter. The standard of
solid finalities at the hospitals Is high;
and a pretty nurse Is, ceteris paribus,
likely to make n better wife nnd
mother than the pretty Idler who en
traps mankind by what the rude Amer
icans cull "puclor tricks."
Inserted bands anil motifs are still
the vogue for garniture.
Even the simplest costumes this sea
sou show an elaboration of detail once
considered consistent for only the
dressiest uceuslous.
Mitten cuffs formed of luce Insertion
and Joined to large, puffed upper
sleeves, around which run little frills
or ruches edged with lace are seen on
other models.
Inset lace is more difficult to manage
than lace edgings or frilllugs, nnd
when inserted lu Intricate designs
such trimming require much skill uud
patience. Tbe summer models ofien
show a prodigality of this Inset lace
work, and tbe effect is charming If the
work is well done.
The up-to-date blouse Is very full, but
drawn In by rows of corded shirring
lu tlie shupe of a corselet or high gir
dle, tbe lines being highest at the back
and sloping dowu towurd the front.
Tbe lowest cord comes Just at tlie
waist line and an Inch of the plain
stuff Is left below.
Some skillful home dressmakers are
producing some very pretty yoke of
fects by means of the pretty embroid
ered handkerchiefs. The centre Is cut
out and a collar of embroidery XI t ted
to It, while one polut is placed at the
frout, one on each shoulder, aud one
at the back, tbut ut the buck being
cut open and fa ceI for hooks and eyes.
I.lueu collars are very much worn
with tailor gowns. Tbe most fashion
able of them are of the turnover styles
to be worn with ribbons. Hemstitch
ing,' embroidered dots, r.nd even bor
ders of bund embroidery ore seen on
stiff linen nowadays. Once or twice
going to tbe laundry initially finishes
tbem, so they must be regarded i: ex
travagant. ' Few colored borders are
worn at present.
