C 3, iSI Correspondence Items Gathered by- THE CITIZEN STAFF WHITB MILLS. , ArniL 21st. On April 16th I wrote an article on how to raise lettuce. I will eay that too much care cannot be taken in the undertaking. When the plants are well up cultivate them often to keep the ground from be coming hard. It is not sufficient in the culture of lettuce to use a hoe, but you must get down to business by using your lingers to loosen the soil around the stem of the plant and thus give it plenty of room to expand and grow. This should be done at least once a week before the plantscovcr the ground. Keep the soil up close to the under side of the plant as this w ill keep it in an up right position and help towards forming a perfect head. When lettuce is fit to cut for private use, it will be necessary to keep a close watch of the bed so that it does not 6poil and become unlit for the table. It you observe any of the seed stems raising in the centre of the head cut it at once. The best time to gather the heads is on a rainy day, but sometimes we do not get much rain; then cut it early in the morning before the sun geta too hot. If you do not be lieve that, the time of cutting is impor rant' try for yourself and be convinced. Gathering vegetables is far more impor tant, than raising them and should be given careful consideration. Many a man has planted and raised a good garden of vegetables and failed to gather them at the right time to retain their flavor. Peas, beans, radishes, corn and asparagus are easily .affected by twenty-four hours' neglect. John Tuman Jr., is again at his work.

It has been a practice for somo time for young people both in and out of town ati a late hour on Saturday even. ngs when leaving the ballroom to make a whole lot of unnecessary noise.

Simply Evcrydny Life of tho Queen of England A Great Letter Writer. Fow peoplo can realize the com parative simplicity of tho everyday life of Queen Alexandria, especially when In Scotland or at Sandrlng- hani. Whllo In Norfolk the Queen spends much of her tlmo In tho open nlr, walking, driving and doing short expeditions in her motor car. After breakfast sho and one or more of the several ladles who may be staying In tho house make an expedition to kennels, stables and poultry yard to feed and Interview tho favqrlte dogs, horses and poul try of tho establishment. In the af ternoon a drive Is arranged, and the evenings pass cheerily with music, cards and conversation. Dinner at Sandrlngbam Is always at 8:45. It may be mentioned that the roy al servants' liveries have a quaint, old world appearance and are dif ferent In cut to those seen else where. The coats are scarlet, made In the swallowtail style, with dark blue waistcoats edged by narow gold braid. The men wear no collars, but have gold stocks; and white sat in breeches and white silk stockings completo their stately costume. All the royal men servants are over six feet in height. The Queen is an indefatigable let ter writer. She has been known to write as many as forty letters In oho day with her own hand; and Miss Knollys, her lady In waiting, often would get through a hundred, all written under the Queen's per sonal supervision. Queen Alexan dria's note paper is cream colored and rather rough, with the royal crown and address In dark blue and of the simplest design. During the shooting season the Queen sends a groat deal of game to her own particular friends, and the hampers aro labelled "With the Queen's compliments." At Christ mas time she often presents her in timates with a signed photograph of herself In a silver frame. Queen Alexandria Is a keen photographer and has transferred some of her photographs onto china. A USEFUL PINCUSHION. Fastens on Sewing Mnclilne nnd Is at Hand When Needed. At first elanco the nlncushlon in vented by a Tennessee man does not appear to be a very Important addi tion to the thousands of labor ana tlmo saving devices, but second thought will show that it has Its uses A USEFUL PINCUSHION, and that they are not so Insignificant cfter all. It U a horseshoe-shaped uffair, with a bowed, clamping spring arranged inside, and it fastens on the arm of a sewing machine when over It is needed. The operator can thus have a cushion full of pins right at her hand, where sho can get them without stopping the machine or de laying her work for an Instant. On ly a woman who does a great deal of sewing can appreciate the time and trouble that will be saved by this little device. Wash. Btar. Eagle Seizes a Child. Montgomery, Ala.

When a Woman Is Well Cared For In General Sho Feels More Keenly a Little Neglect on Occasions. By Baroness Goto, of Japan. In American homes the mistress apparently receives tho first consid eration. Therefore one would think that American women are very hap py. But in reality they are, It seems to me, In a rather unhappy, discon tented condition. If one takes de licious food all the time one does not appreciate it,' and, In the same way, when a woman Is cared for cannot appreciate It as she ought, and feels constantly discontented with her lot. When a woman Is very well taken caro of In general she feels keenly even a little neglect This comment seems Justified by tho fact that in America, where women receive first consideration, there aro more cases of divorce than anywhero else in tho world. It is easy to theorize about do mestic life, but in reality domestic life Is a very complicated matter, and one requiring great caro and Judgment. From nature, or habit, man opposes the suggestion of wo man. Accordingly, in order to bring a man to any desired point of view, a woman must have the tact not to express herself too openly. So, also, It Is not well to scold and criticise too much, for this makes children scorn and contradict their mothers. A mother must acquaint herself widely with the world and with the dispositions and individualities of to their highest usefulness. Domestic wellbeing Is entirely in the power of the wife. If one man Is strong enough to bend the will of the ruler, the country Is safe so runs the old Chinese Baying; in like manner in the home the wife takes the place of that one man. It Is different with those women whose responsibility reaches beyond the home, but with those who are only wives and mothers the Ideal Is to shield themselves behind the hus band's name and not be known bo fore the world. If a girl marries with this Ideal her home will always be In peace. It Is Instinctive for a good wife and wise mother not to wish to be known publicly. Comentlng upon the above the editor of a paper of Toklo, says. "In proportion to the fame of Baron Goto the name of Baroness Gbto Is not well known to the world. Baroness Goto does not seek public ity; on the contrary, she carefully keeps her seclusion as housewife and mother. That which is especially remarkable in her character is her total lack of vanity and her para mount ideal of duty as wlfo and responsibility as mother. "Baron Shlnpel Goto, who has af forded to his wife tho widest oppor tunities of culture and travel is one of the leading men In Japan's na tional life to-day. Since tho Russo Japanese War ho has held the- Im portant position of president of the Manchurlan Railway system, and has now been placed at the head of tho railway and postal systems of Japan under the new Katsura min istry." Pretend They Aro Popular. It being a holiday the blundering man made calls with his wife. The first place they went the hostess said: "Julia Is engaged." "Is she, indfcwd?" said the man's wife radiantly. "Which one did she finally accept?" The next place they were informed that Margaret was engaged, and again the man's wife beamed sym. pathetically and murmured?" "Is she, indeed? Which one did she ac cept?" At the third place it was the news of Bessie's engagement that was broken to them. As before, the man's wife put tho question: "Which ono did she finally take?" On their way home the man said: "Why did you ask 'which one' every time a new engagement was sprung on us? Are those girls so attractive that men were falling over each other in the scramble to get them for their wives?" "Not at all," said his wife. "I don't uppose either of them ever had but one offer, and it is a won. der she got that. I shouldn't be sur prised if the men back out even now before the wedding day. But you see, dear, I had to be diplomatic. Those people can do me many favors Tho surest way to make myself solid with them is to pretend to think their girls so popular that every man in town was crazy to marry them." "With my opportunities downtown," groaned the man, "If I had your genius we'd be million aires Inside of six months." Laying Linoleum. In laying linoleum on the floor' of a room, care should be taken to elml inate as much tacking as possible, Around edges of room It should be cut so as not to touch, that It may have room in which to spread.

Grant of Higher Education to Wo men Marks Deep Chaace In German Llfo. German homes and German news papers have been far more occupied with the Prussian's Governmet's de cree granting higher education to the women than by discussions on German and British navul arma ments. The granting of educational opportunities for girls and women equal to those of men Is regarded as marking a deep change in German life, where, more than in more west ern nations, women have been con sidered as the keepers of the home and the workers in the minor indus tries. The Introductory paragraphs of the decree of the Ministry of Edu cation, which has been approved by the Emperor, recite the reasons fpr the change in the system. Modern life, says the decree, develops an increasing disinclination on the part of men of the upper classes to mar ry, and more girls In tho upper and middle classes are prevented from becoming wives and mothers. It is desirable, therefore, that the sur plus of young women should have a chance of preparing themselves for professional callings, and that they should bo trained in the higher mental functions. According to tho schema, girls are to be educated In all studies em braced in a specially arranged cur riculum, beginning at a minimum ago of six years. At the end of tho seventh school year the pupils will begin to differentiate in their stud ies, those preparing for advanced in struction having special courses laid out for them, such as Latin. After two years they will again be arrang ed in divisions, classical or modern higher studies respectively. Then after four years' work they will, un der normal conditions, be admitted to examinations for matriculation to the universities. Up to this time their education will have been carried on in separ ate schools, but in the unlveslty co education will begin under condi tions similar to those governing men students. Those who at the end of the seventh school year do not elect to specialize for a university course may continue the ordinary courses until they reach the age of 16, after which they may leave school or take two years in modern languages, mu sic and domestic accomplishments, or they may take four years' special training as teachers. This scheme has been under dis cussion and preparation for a year. There has been an agitation for equal privileges for the sexes since the early eighties, and most of tho other German States have already granted them. Frau Heleno Langc, the noted ed ucationalist, has been a leading ad- vocate of this intellectual emanclpa. tlon. Prof. Adolf Harnack of tho University of Berlin said that wo men now have equal rights with men to enter all the technical schools, with the exception of the art academies, and that this prohi bition is likely soon to be removed. A CELLAR CUPBOAKD. Arrangement by Which Running Up nnd Downstairs Ih Avoided. To secure tho advantages of a cel lar cupboard without the necessity of climbing up and down the cellar stairs, sink a box of any desired di mensions between the joists of tho kitchen or pantry floor, allowing it to come a couple of inches above the THE CELLAR CUPBOARD, floor line C., to avoid the entrance of dust from the floor, says the Prairie Farm. Slats are nailed across the bottom of the box, which are then covered with wire netting to prevent flies and mice from reaching the con. tents, as Indicated at B. A hinged cover, A, protects the top of the box. For Planking Meats. Dishes for planking steaks and other meats are offered in oak with nickel or silver coverings. Hereto fore the housewife encountered no small difficulty In her effort to serve planked dishes attor tho fashion of restaurants, but now she has every thing ready to use, and with a re liable recipe book sho can prepare dishes every bit as delicious as the majority of hotel chefs. The plat ters come In several sizes, ranging from an oval juBt large enough for two persons to tho generous family platter. Some of the nickel holders are quite plain, while others are em bellished with openwork and tracery. For Removing Dandruff. Every night anoint the scalp with sweet almond oil. Rub it in and bind the head with a silk handker chief or an oilskin cap. This will prevent its staining the pillow. In the morning wash It out with soap, warm water and a little borax. Do this until the scurf has disappeared. Then at night apply the following tonic with a vigorous scalp mas sage: Castor oil, .pint; pure al cohol, y, pint; tincture of canthar Ides, H, ounce; ,0.11 ot .bergamot, 2 drams. Color a pale pink with al bas ot roots. Apply to the roots. FIXAJfOIAL AND C0HKES0IAL. Closing Stock Quotation. Money on call wa 1 per cent: time mony and mercantile paper unchanged In rates.
