BANDON RECORDER. îPOLLY LARKIN Gather Sunnhtne. Some persons are like the human heart, Inasmuch as they sprinkle rest and kindness and heart’s ease all through their daily tasks. They weave a bright thread of thankful happiness through the web and woof of life's pattern; they are never too busy to say a kind word or to do a gentle deed; they may be compelled to sigh be times, but amhl their sighs are smiles that drive away the cares; they find sunbeams scattered In the trail of ev ery cloud; they gather flowers where others see nothing but weeds; thi-y pluck little sprigs of rest where others find only thorns of distress. Like the human heart, they make much of the little opisirtnuities pre sented to them; they rest that they may have strength for others; they gather sunshine with wliicli to dlssl- pate the|^a<lowB aliout them The grandest conception of life Is to esteem it as an opportunity for mak ing others happy. He who Is most true to bls higher self Is truest to the race. The lamp that shines brightest gives the most light to all about It. < ;<>od Cheer. “Du you ever get the blues, Folly?" asked a little friend theother «lay. “Do you know, 1 get an attack every now and then and while it lasts 1 am the most wretched ;>ersOii you can imag ine. I am worse thana walking tomb- stone in the home, and 1 ani sorry for everyone who has to live in my vicinity. I try hard enough to ward oil'the at tack when I feel it creeping on, but it’s no use. I am t«si blue even to relieve myself by crying at first, tint liefore 1 get through the trying ordeal I have a g«M«d old-fasliione<l cry that washes the cobwelis from my brain, scatters the dark clouds that have made every thing so blue and unsightly, myself ineliided in that last, for 1 am a fright when I have the blues, hsik so doleful and woebegone and like I didn’t have a friend in the world. I feel disgusted with myself anti wish 1 could find a cure for this misery, for the sake of others more than myself.” the one made from the root of this same plant. They dig down »«> as to get the entire root after they have robls*«! it of its crowning glory of green leaves and stems and convert it into the string. The roots are taken to the little creek and here they are pounded to a pulp tietween ther«M*ks, which are immersed ill the water. All the pulp or meaty part of the root is waslietl away leaving only tough fibers. Then they patiently proceed to twist them, for it requires much time to make this, their strongest of all strings, from the tough roots. a » • » THE GIRLS OF KASHMIR. M b> They Are Sot aa Beautiful a* They Oaea Were. The girls of Kashmir in former times Were sold and carried away to the Punjab, in Iudla. They commanded a large price, aud parents in moderate circumstances for centuries past have been in the habit of parting with their daughters to place themselves In easier circumstances, uinl the daughters have generally been quite willing to escape from a life of penury and labor to one of opulence and ease. A laboring man In this part of India cannot enrn over $2 or $3 a month, while ninny receive for their «laughters as high ns There are some cases where $.5,000 was paid, but the usual price has been from $100 to $300. The practice became so common as well ns so damaging that a severe law was enacted prohibiting any one from removing any woman from the coun try. but It is said that the business goes on now as It hns done for hun dreds of years, and to that practice may be chnrgi'd the fact that the wo men of Kashmir are not as beautiful ns they once were. Th«- process of taking all the beauti ful girls sway, leaving only the ordi nary and ugly ones to continue the race, has lowered the standard of beau ty. Most of the women and girls per form Held lalior ns much as the men, and their dress Is of the coarsest and plainest materials, consisting of a gar ment like a nightgown made of white cotton. There is no effort to have it fit. The condition of women In Kashmir Is a very sad one, but one from which there does not seem to be any present escape. It Is a constant struggle to live, without the least hope of any ac cumulation or of ever seeing better days. The men only receive about 5 cents a day and the women generally about 3 cents, and that will provide only the coarsest food.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

Gooseberries and currants are two easily grown fruitB, and there la sel dom an oversupply. The quality and size of fruit on old bushes Is much Improved by thinning of the fruit or severe pruning. The cause of moss appearing on the stems of apple and other fruit trees is wet. cold, undrained land or an exces sively humid climate. In saving garden seed gather when ripe. Do not allow It to shell off. The first matured Is the best, and the tirst matured will shell tirst. A good mulch around fruit trees helps to keep down weeds, keeps the soil loose, motet and porous at all times, with little labor of cultivation. The time of setting out of fruit trees is of far less Importance than to see that the right varieties are selected, the soil prepared and transplanting well done. One of the hardest tasks the univer sity student has to accomplish is the gathering together of their legends and verifying them. Ill this lie feels that he has uo time to spare, for the old Indians are fast dying oil’ and carrying the legends and pretty stories with them. Few of the younger generation are taking enough interest in tiie le gendary lore of their people to even try to familiarize themselves with the in teresting legends of their race.
