J OUTSIDE THE FEKCa. A. Garden Make Mtay Frleade for the Gardener. "The violet Is a modest flower, ain't It?" The lady kneeling on the grass started and rose, and dividing tbe freshly gathered bunch of violets In her hand, offered half to the small girl, clinging like a limpet to the fence, whose longing eyes begged for them. "And I hope teacher will be pleased," she said. "Why-ee!" marveled the child. "Ilow'd you know I wanted 'em for teacher?" "Oh, I Just guessed," said the lady, laughing. "But It was easy," she told a friend afterward ; "It often Is. Teacher's In fluence on the Infant mind and vocab ulary Is specially in evidence since the day of nature study and school gar dens came in ; and then, there always have been the poets, and 'speaking pieces In school. Only the other day a little freckle-nosed boy was fascin ated by my long row of crimson tulips He hung on the gate a long while in fascinated silence, and then: " 'Gee ! Them are flowers !' he broka out, adding pensively, 'Spring brings all things beautiful.' "Spring certainly does, and the vlo let really Is a modest flower; but the trail of teacher was not difficult to fol low. Another little chap was Interest ed In the same gay tulips from a dif ferent standpoint " 'All them grew up out'n a teenty seed,' he Informed me, Importantly, over the fence. " 'Most flowers do,' I agreed, 'but not these. These came out of a bulb. " 'Nope. They got ter come out'n a seed. Teacher said so,' he Insisted. There was one stray tulip out of line, and with a scoop of my trowel I lifted It, bulb and all. "Take that to teacher, and she'll explain,' I told him. "He did, and she did; for next day he sang out as he passed : "'You was right, but teacher was, tool You kin raise tulips outer seeds, only you don't.' "The children pass my garden In troops there aTe two schools not far away. Keen eyes watch and praise my succession of bloom, and shy little vis itors have learned that when they ask for flowers for nature study or the drawing clfiRS, I will not begrudge my best ; and bunches of my simpler, more abundant blossoms go often, clutched In eager hands, carrying I hope she knows a double message of friendly greeting to 'teacher.' A garden Is a great maker of friends even outside the fence." Youth's Companion. , THEN CAME THE SHAKE. Hard Lack of a Flebermaa Who Had Caught Thirty-Three Weakflah. Weakflsh have been plentiful of late In the waters hereabouts and fishermen have had fine sport catching them, but hard luck came the other day to one angler In Gravesend Bay after he had caught thirty-three, says the New York Sun. lie was fishing from a small boat, and as fast as he drew the weakflsh In he would string them through the gills on a line which he kept hanging over the side of the boat down In about six feet of water, where the water was cool and the fish would keep well. It was certainly good fishing, but Just after he had let the thirty-third weak flsh slide down to the bunch and made the line fast Inboard and started fish ing again he felt the boat settle on that side over which the bunch was hang ing. Something In the water was pulling on the bunch of wenRflsh down below. The fisherman grabbed the line and began hauling In promptly, but what with the weight of the fish and that strong added pull on the other end the line parted In his hands, and the next moment he got a glimpse of a flve-foot shark making oft with his bunch of weakflsh. The shark had seized upon one of the lower fishes In the bunch and now, as It began, with the line broken, to move away, weakflsh begun to appear on the surface In the shark's wake, fishes that worked loose as the shark swam, and slipped up and oft the free end of the line. Ai, with the bunch decreasing and so much less weight In It to haul, the shark made faster prog ress, the fishes came up farther and farther apart, but still you could trace tho shark's course out to sea, with one of the fisherman's weakflsh lu Its teeth, by that Irregular line of weakflsh slip ping oft the cord and coming to the surface as It fled. Plaything of Ancient Children. The most primitive toy Is the doll. It dates back to prehistoric times and Is found in every part of the world. This one would naturally expect to find. A child, seeing Its mother nurs ing other younger children, would Imi tate the example with an Improvised ;doll. Toy weapons, again, are older than history. Many of the other toys at present in use date from the earli est times of which we have any rec- . ord. In the tombs of the ancient Egyp tians, along with painted dolls having movable limbs, have been found mar- I bles, leather covered bells, elastic balls ana marionettes movea ny strings. An cient Greek tombs furnish clay dolls, toy horses and wooden carts and ships. In the Louvre there are some Greco- Roman dolls of terra cotta with mov able Joints fastened by wires. Greek babies had rattles. Greek boys played jwlth whipping tops. So did the boys in ancient Kome.

There are two reasons why ordinary safety matches can be struck on smooth glass. The head of the safety match Is composed of a mixture of sulphide of antimony, chlorate of pot asslum and powdered glass. A com paratively small Increase of tempera ture will cause this to Ignite. Now, rjass is a bad conductor of heat and the rapid passage of the substance over it raises the temperature of that substance sufficiently for that purpose. When the glass la rough the friction crumbles away the loosely combined mixture before the temperature rises to the point of Ignition; hence, given the composition of the match head, ibe two circumstances which answer tbe question are the comparative smooth ness of the glass and its Imperfect con ductlTlty of heat rr - i ai o ra Some men would rather take a whip iPHEUMATOM CAN NOT BEr.

Rheumatism is more than skin deep it is rooted and grounded ia the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to aa excess of uric acid ia the blood, brought about by the accumulation ia the system of refuse matter which, the natural avenue's of bodily waste, the Bowela and Kidneys, have failed to carry off.
