London.—Gardening is now included
as a codal subject for English school
children. There are two courses in
the year, each consisting of at least
twenty hours’ practical work.
‘‘The boys are quite keen about it,”
said the head teacher of
Chafing Dish Dishes.
As the bracing and cool days of au-
tumn come upon us, the chafing dish
■which has been having its vacation
time, is welcomed with a real delight.
There are so many appetizing dishes
which are only prepared and served
In perfection from the chafing dish.
One of the most' charming things
about a chafing dish is the seeing a
dish made before the eyes. For a be-
ginner it is best to start with some-
thing simple, like fried bacon"or liver
and bacon. Rub the blazer with'
onion and put in the bacon. When
crisp, lay in thin slices of liver -which
have been rolled in flour. Serve each
piece of liver with a slice of bacon.

14 lads who form the class for gar- J
denlng has his own little plot of
ground for which he is responsible
and at which he works under my su-
pervision. The produce Is his, and
great is the joy of taking home the
first Ipring radishes of his own grow-
ing, a fine head of lettuce, or a basket-
ful of marrowfat peas.
“As to thp educational benefit, gar-
dening teaches the boys to do the
right thing at the right time and in-
duces habits of method and observa-
tion. It also creates a love of outdoor
life—a splendid counter-attraction in
later years to the public house and
music hall.”
Two hours and a half a week is all
the time that can be given to garden-

they put in a good many spare min-

The state of Pennsylvania has just dedicated on the battlefield of Get
tysburg a magnificent memorial to the Pennsylvanians who lost their lives
in that mighty struggle. The monument is in the form of a massive arch
surmounted by a figure of victory and decorated with bas-reliefs and with
the names of the generals from the Keystone state.

[trenching, potting, grafting, etc.—in
fact, a good, all-round training in the
growing of vegetables, herbs, fruits
and flowers—is imparted with most
happy results.
The cultivation of peas, lettuce and
-tomatoes proves perhaps more attrac-
tive on the whole than that of roses
and carnations, but flowers are bv no
means neglected. A fine chrysanthe-
jmum avenue in the Button school gar-

gained a gold medal for their owner,
has proved very stimulating to youth-
ful competitors.
French gardening has also recently
made gay lines between the goose-
berries.
In these schools the work on the
land is considered to be the prime
agent in restoring character and in re-
viving wholesome interest. In one
case the land supports the establish-
ment without any external aid beyond
the per capita grant. The farm and
garden pay as well as educate, and
educate the better for paying.
After leaving school the boys keep
in close touch with their old masters;
they are visited, they write letters;
they come back to visit the school.

port of 90 per cent, of successes has
been kept. Ninety of every hundred

■This city is visited by
hundreds of tourists and many conven-
tions are held here. NeoeSsarily,
therefore, it has not a few professional
guides. The patriarch of the tribe sub-
mitted himself to an interview the
other day, and it may interest Ameri-
cans to learn what he has-to say about
them and other foreigners. He is
nearly seventy years of age and has
been a guide for many years. Of all
the globe-trotters whom it falls to his
lot to pilot about Stockholm and Swe-
den the Russians, he says, give the
< most satisfaction and pleasure. Amer-
icans he considers too stingy and too
exacting.
“Russians are in the highest degree
the most delighted and most thankful,"
was the tribute of the veteran guide.
"They treat me as an old friend of the
family, as an uncle or a relative. They
want good living and a good time.
After them come the Austrians and
even the Germans are a social lot. but
the Americans and English cannot be
put in the same category. They are the
least agreeable. The Americans are
frightfully pretentious and have the {

bors think of you; twice the quantity of
keeping within your income; & sprinkling

Dusting.
Dust, like the poor, is always with
us, and the process of dusting con-
sumes a large part of the time of the
house wife. Many thrifty workers
carry a small dust cloth in the pocket,
then when going upstairs dust*- the
treads and banisters; on coming down
dust the railing.
Now that he are beginning to re-
alize that dust contains living germs,
many of them disease germs, which
are only .waiting for favorable condi-
tions to develop, we should use more
care in the removal of dust Brushing
with a feather duster only stirs up the
dust, to be taken into the lungs
through the air we breathe.
An amusing story Is told by Max
O’Rell: When visiting in this coun-
try, his hostess and he came into a
room where a maid was wielding a
duster with more vigor than judg-
ment, and replied, when asked what
she was dping: “Why, I’m dusting.”
Her mistress requested her to “please
uhdust.” .
- Much using of the broom is often
unnecessary, to pick up loose threads
and brush up footmarks takes less
time than ordinary sweeping, which
leaves the dusting still to be done.
Dusting is an art. For plain surfaces
a soft, absorbent cloth, slightly damp
is the best, using a brush ajd pointed
stick to reach Corners and cracks.
The cloth should be shaken and
well washed after using. The manu-

her aunt told her he might bring a
baby playmate. So Ethel sent a letter,
which, though it was not stamped,
reached Park Commissioner Stover.
It ran:
“My Dear Mr. Stork: Would you
please bring my auntie a little boy
baby. I know you have had lots of
letters from little girls for babies. I
will be patient and wait for my turn.
I am here from Washington and would
like to see my auntie’s little baby, so
try and bring it as soon as you can.
My auntie has everything ready for
it. Her window is on the south side.
Her sister has a great big basket for
it. Her number is 622 West One Hun-
dred and Thirteenth street. Ethel

A postscript reads:
“Please send It soon. I will leave
the basket outside the window.”
Commissioner Stover said he had
informed Miss Phillipson that he had
sent her communication to Mr. Stork
and that Me. Stork had replied that
the case surely would be attended to,
but the young lady would have to wait
her turn.

little Ethel Philllpson of Washington

of all that was done for her she still

Rome.—Many interesting landmarks
in Rome are slowly coming down in

Via Flamtnia, to pull down some of
the finest palaces.
Among the latest of these edifices
that have been demolished are the
Torlonia palace and the Nepotl, which
were situated in the space between
the capitol and the Corso—which are
now dominated by the imposing mon-

the narrowest streets of Rome.- In
the old carnival days curtains were
stretched across from house to house

down the Corso and caused so many
accidents that the custom was abol-

Loveland, Colo.—Chicken hawks,
once the bane of the farmers’ life,
are now the best-protected birds in
this part of Colorado, the ranchmen
of this district guarding them against
slaughter with a vigilance that has
put state game wardens to shame.
The unusual alliance is due to a
pest of grasshoppers which has threat-
ened the alfalfa crops with ruin. The
hawks, nearly a thousand of which
have collected in thiB neighborhood,
have proved to be the most success-

hoppers, which they evidently regard
as a delicacies in the matter of food,
