The Best °lan Yet. English sense aid English refinement togt tlier have voiced out many plans l'or the help anl advancement of society, but none mor* practical and worthy of following thai its last effort for tho well being of wouen. In an article of ex quisite feeing and sense, the Queen in troduces a scheme which interests tho best men ind women of the kingdom, in its purposa to train women for light farming and gardening. With clever tact tin subject is presented from its at tractive point. Women farmers are not inviting subjects of contemplation, but to speak of "ladies as cultivators of land," puis the pursuit in its proper light, and "invests it with the dignity ami grace which belongs to the oldest and gt ntlest of occupations." What the French call la petite culture of fruit and (,ow >r gardens, poultry yards and tlai r%s has always been tl.e most profitable jvrt of farming, and calls far nothing in the wav of management or stn r.gtli not fairly within feminine lii lit:;. As a rule, what is true of tho English mar kets is still more true of American towns, where, us savs the excllent journal quoted, "There is a great m'ed l'or more fruit, garden .stuff and green vegetables, more eggs and poultry, more cream and strawberries, more common, sweet scented ilowers to freshen the food and brighten the lives of those in cities pent." This is especially true of American country towns, where, as a rule it is impossible to get any variety of fruit or vegetables ex cept for a limited season, and then at higher prices than they bring in New York markets. In the occupations of producing these luxuries strength is hardly so much needed as minute per sonal care and watchfulness, precisely the want of which is loweiing the grade of the great national dairy products. It is thought that a society may be formed for training women in the best systems of horticulture and dairying, bee rais ing and poultrv breeding, with the best results in securing a healthy indepen dence for and pursuits of inter si for thous aid.'. Women are satisfied with loss than men : a safe support with ever so little for the indulgence ol' theii tastes will ir !;.> a woman happii •' than a man is v. i'h a t').!"!.<•.

I ;> r- y. with r. n. h i: ' r-t <.> tl •d< c it u of their diawing rooms and tie-:r india ere n work, and as a pe culiarly feminine and independent mode of making a livelihood, many women of active t.t :es will be ersily persuaded to attempt it. An association of practical and cultivated women int. rested in farm gardening in this country would enroll a very dtsiia bio membership, and enter a wider field of usefulness than any social, business or artistic follow ing among the sex. Here is an opportunity of doing real good for the fortunes and the inner lives of women which cannot be neglected. Old Dinner Customs in Sweden. The Swedes have u (jtieev way of lo comntion at their meaN. They often Hit about like llies, from o: ■ table to another, ami sometimes seem to turn the menu topsyturvy when they order a re past. It is no rare thing to see them begin with che-so and biscuit, next pro ceed to ham and salad, vith a slice of meat to follow, and then suddenly start up in the middle of their dinner to swal low, while walking about, a plateful of pea soup. A habit which they have of beginning each meal whith what they call a "Mnorogs," not merely leads to much untidiness at meal time,but makes them seem contented to live on bits and scraps. The sniorgos consists of little dishes, such as slices of reindeer, and caviar, and sardines,with pickles, cheese and other whets provocative of thirst. These are tished out with a fork of gen eral utility, and laid on thumb pieces of rye cake, thickly smeared with butter, which serve by way of plate. Then they aro bitten into, regardless of the fragments which may fall on other dain ties (for youi true sniorgos eater seldom sits to his repast), and they are finally washed down with a glass or two of spir its which stands lmndy at their side. Such a prelude to a n eal is not merely uncleanly, but must vitiate the pal ate, and injure the digestion. Indeed I feel convinced that, were the smorgos bord abolished, not merely would the cookery in Sweden soon improve, but very many pf the people would be grad ually weaned from their weakness for strong drink "Incentives to matrimony—"You ought to marry.'' "Never." "i. know the very girl." "Let me alone." "She ia young." "Tlmn she is shy.', "Beau tiful. 'I "The more dangerous." "Of good family." "Then she is j>roud." "Tenderhearted." "Then she is jealous." "She has Ulent." "Then she is conoeit ed," "And a fortune." "I will take bar." The Irish Question. The conviction of the most careful and thoughtful Americans upon the question of sending relief to Ireland in her pres ent great extremity is : "Any amount that is necessary for humane purposes, but nothing whatever to aid in political plans, with which America has 110 busi ness to intermeddle.'' Speaking of the great Irish agitator now in the United .States tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat asks: "\Vhat does anybody know about Mr. l'arnell ? Who vouches for him beyond tho fact that ho is a polit ical agitator, belonging to the class with which In land has been pestered for a century? lie has given no evidence of ability in any direction except that of raising a row, and making the Irish peo ple believe that it is wrong to pay their debts—a doctrine the acceptance of which is not, wo regret to say, confined to the Irish at home or abroad. Why should people give immense sums of money to this man] If 110 is giving sound advice to the Irish people in tell ing them not to pay their rent, what does he, or what do the Irish people, want with all this money]" It is estimated that in this country, only one person in live hundred owns a horse. Are we a neigli-sliun? "I'll join you presently," said the minister to the young couple, as he went for the church key. Many a young man who sows his wild oats trusts to the grasshopper of forgetfulness to destroy his crop. Mr. A. Niger, Taylorville, I'a,, writes: My mother, an old lady of sixty years, suffered for thirty years with liheuma tism, to such an extent that she was ot times entirely lame.
