In violet* is spreading In England A
te beine Ik now being discussed for
growing them on soum light land In
tin south, or England for the sake of '
dint tiling the scent, but It is uk a
cut flower that the violet is a source
of wealth in England. These volets
are becoming larger ami larger, ami
the Mingle hidaeomu ate much nearer

A huge, very deep vurldty has been
recently Imported from the l>st and
In dolrrg well In u private garden. but
there au number of norU which
have the treble qualities desired by
the purchaser—the sweetness, tflze and
length of stalk. They a£e grown In

the plants are kopt clone to the glass
Women especially are tuklng up the
violet fimn, as a commercial bu Allows,
and It in curious that one enterprise
in violet fanning which was showing
promise has led the women farmers
Into taking up general French gur
Jening. (Hie woman farmer calculates
that the violet frames iiuld ulxmt

The violet has ulways l»oen u favor

How It Works.
"Now, you’ll lx* here at 7 o'clock
sharp In the morning, sure? Remem
ber, I’m depending on you."
"Yes’in, sure. I'll be ht*ro. You can
depend on me."
A* she left, the sei'VUUl was raying
to herself: "tJoeniH awful to Me that

way on earth of knowing whether any
of tin* other (hree planes 1 promised
to go to-morrow morning will la: open

they promised to hold the place* for
me, just an this woman did, hut If
any other girl should g«*t In ahead#o(

how many more they'd hire In the
same way before i found 'em. So
while I don’t like to He, what am I
to do to get a Job?’’
The prospective mistress, us she sat
at her sowing, Soliloquized: "I don't

doesn't solve ifself. I can't keep track
of the deliberate and conscious false

street. She's the third that ha« prom
ised me faithfully to cotne to-morrow
at 7 sharp—what could 1 do? Hut two
at a time never yet have come, so l
suppose I am not taking great chances,
f haven’t a lilt of doubt that the girl
who Just lefi. me has promised half a
dozen others that she'll be there to

What Woman is Made of.
According to a Hindoo legend this
is the prope.r origin of woman
Twnshtrt, the god Vtih-»n of the Hln
(loo mythology, created the world, but
on his commencing to create woman
he discovered that for man h. had
exhausted all his creative materials,
and that not one solid element had
been left This .of course, greatly
perplexed TAvashtrl and canned him
to fall into a prtffound meditation.
When he arose from it l*e proceeded
ns follows, rie took:
The roundnoes of the moon
The undulating curve of the serpent
The grneeful twist of the creeping
plant.
The light shivering of the gr:im
bladc and the alendernoRfl of the wil
low.
The velvet of the flowers.
The lightness of the feather
The gentle gaze of the due
