A “Swap Social” is a innova- tion in Grand Rapids society, but has an attractive sound and we are mak- ing arrangements to take itin. The Swap social will be given bv the Re- bekahs, at Odd Fellows hall on Fnday evening, April 7. The rules that will govern the game are very simple: Anybedy having in their possession anything swapable may bring the same to the hail where they will be allowed admittance for the sum of 15c—no_ tanft duties imposed upon the articles brought. Those coming without anything to trade will be pro- vided with suitable articles at 5c from the noiseless, orderly beneficent processess of nature that are con- stantly going on around him, There are many reasons, economi- cal, physical, esthetic and moral, why every man should be his own yardner, if he ean. Thousands of dwellers in hotels, sand tenements can't be. and cheerless in the season when all nature is gay as is that of a bird that is caged. They may laugh. but so dues the caged bird sing. But such is hot true living, for all that. Too early yet to think about gardening? It is not too early to be- gin getting your plans ready, your seed ready and your spirit ready. And when the warm rains and the hot sunshine comes your preparations will blossom into delightful enjoy- ment, just as thee bulb generated under cold skies blooms forth into a beautiful flower.

It is not alone the plants and tiowers we long for, The senses of sight and smell are notall that pawerfully appeals to’us when Nature is arraying herself iu green and throwiug out her rich odors. Av inner something impels us to put our hands at work in the earth, -to bathe our bodies in the sunshine and to open our soul in devotion to things that are not gross, but sweet and pure. Every dweller who has a bit of ground about bis house stould begin to think about puiting outa garden. It may be ouly tive feet square, but he can plant it in green peas, onions, radishes or lettuce aud and still tind room for a flower or two tothrowa little Color and a little fragrance into his life and the lives of his children. If he bave no children, then he needs flowers all the more, that their tender rvotage may. keep his heart from toughening into the sod of seltishuess, says the St. Paul News A little garden, if properly cared for, will save the city many a dollar. But that is by no means the chief good. If he has more mouey than he knows what to do with he will still find profit in wielding the spade an@ and hoe for exercise. ‘There is no wore healthy perspiration than thau which comes of exertion in the garden no perfume better than that which is waffed up. from the moist-soil. Such perspiration is more exbilirat ing than -wine and such perfume is sweeter than attar of roses. It isa good thing for man’s heart and mind as for bis body to get close tu nature. ‘To be pitied is the man who does not drink in with delight the fragraace of flowers after having breathed all day the stench of a city and who does not learn a lesson Reduced Freight Rates.

The first golf balls were made of leather of untanned bulls hide, two round pieces forming the ends and a piece for the middle. These pieces were softened, shaped and firmly sew- ed together, a small hole being left through which the feathers might afterward be inserted. Before stuf- fing the leather sphere was turned outside in—an operation not without its difficulties—so that the seams would be on the inside. The skin: was then placed in a cup-shaped stand, the worker having the feathers in an apron before him, and the stuffing was dene with a steel rod. The aperture was then closed, the seam sewed up, andthe only seam showing was thia tiny one. But the life of each ball was short. At present the balls are made of gutta percha. . Life’s Sllences. For, somewhere in the scheme of things, We vainly seek a way In _ which our hidden purposes Sha find the light of day. The deeds we might have justified When honor held us still; The faith we did not barter For a fickle crowd’s good will. The loyalty to higher aims ‘When pressed by greed and gain; The smiling and the passing jest That covered up our pain. But, only in the silences Of souls is found the cost Of failures bringing victories, And battles won when lost. Enough, if in the scheme of things God's’ purpose be made clear; And we may walk the hights we reach, Serenely, without fear. —Corrine I. Cone, Tramp Was Conscientious. Wearily the tramp wandered up the garden path one summer’s day and took off his hat to the woman of the house. She eyed him keenly. “Look here, are you the man I gave a big meal one February morning?” she demanded, sternly. “I’m the man, mum,” was the reply. “Well, do you remember you promised to shovel all the snow out of my back yard and then sneaked off without doing it?” asked the woman. “Yes, mum; an’ me conscience smote me,” answered the tramp. ‘“That’s the reason f tramped all the way here through the blazing sun to finish the job.” Training for the Bride to Be. A young society girl of this city who is to be one of next fall’s brides, in order to prepare herself to take charge of her own home, has been given the entire management of her parents’ home. Her mother is almost like a boarder in the house. The young bride to be orders the meals, pays the pew rent in church, pays for the newspapers and periodicals—in short, she has the handling of ‘all the expenditures of the home. One thing is certain, this girl has a wise mother, and the result of the training in home management cannot but be successful. —Malvake Mass.. Telegrany Their existence is as dull! THEY HAD MET BEFORE. Business Man’s Introduction Decidedly Humorous.. i “The most curious break I ever made,” said a young business man the other day, “was at my club. I was.in the library talking with a man who was in my class at college and whom I knew intimately. As we were sit- ting there in walked another member of the club whom we both knew. We | both greeted him. Then the conver sation continued, only three were in it instead of two. Suddenly it oc- curred to me that perhaps my two friends had not-been introduced. ‘Beg pardon,’ I said; ‘I suppese you men know each other. Mr. S——, Mr. T——.’ They -laughed, but they grave- ly shook hands and said they were ac- quainted, and all that sort of thing, and then they looked at me and laughed again, only harder than be- fore. Then it all dawned on me. The newcomer bore: a fairly strong resem- blancg to another man whom also I knew well at college, and I had as- sumed, not having looked at him close- ly, that he was this man. But he wasn't, after all, and the man I had introduced him to was his own brother.” THE BIRD WE WORSHIP. American Eagle Furnishes Wonderful * Example of Constancy. In the discussion of the marriage question it has sometimes been denied that the birds of the air are monoga- mous. But the bird of birds, and the one that we most cherish as the em blem of the glorious American repub- lic, certainly is: The American eagle never mates but once, and’ lives with that one mate till he or she dies. If left a widower —even a young widower—the bald- headed eagle never mates again. He remains alone and disconsolate near the home he once shared with his former mate, and no.other eagle can ever tempt him to forsake it or share it with another. Divorce is unknown with the Ameri- can eagle. He took her for better or for worse, and death alene separated them. With him it is, once a widow- er, always a widower. It is singular that his example is so seldom quoted. { Foods for Brain Workers. According to a celebrated health ex- pert, blanched almonds give the high- er nerve or brain and muscle food and the man who wishes to keep his brain power up would do well to include them in his daily bill of fare. Juicy fruits give the same in less propor- tion and are eaten- by all men whose living depends on their clear-headed- ness. Apples supply the brain with rest. Prunes afford proof against ner- vousness, but are not muscle-feeding. They shduld be avoided by those who suffer from the liver. But it has been proved that fruits do not have the same effect upon everybody. Some men have never been able to eat ap- ples without suffering the agony of indigestion; to others strawberries are like poison. Henry Hughes & Company. Sole Agents. Grand Rapids, Minn. TREES THAT GIVE COCOA. Coceanut Palm and Cacao Tree Both Handsome Specimens. Many of us who use cocoa and cocoanuts daily co not know that they are obtained from two distinct trees. The cocoanut palm is the fruit of a tall and graceful palm tree, whereas the cocoa, or more properly cacao, is the powdered seed of a small and handsome tree, bearing no resem- blance to the cccog palm. In fact, the cacao tree is closely allied to the Linden or lime trees. No one who has ever seen the peculiar appearance pre- sented by the cacao tree will be likely to mistake it for anything else. The tree itself grows ‘9 a height of twen- ty or twenty-five feet, with a rather smooth and slender truak, thick, | bushy and symmetrical top, 2nd hand- some broad, ore es of a deep pur- ple or. bronze color. Instead ef grow- ing at the end of the branches or twigs, as do most blossoms, the flow- j ers bud out directly from the. bark of | the limbs and trunk. The flowers are small and insignificant, but the fruit, shaped like a cucumber, grows to a large size, sometimes eight or ten feet in length and three cr four inches TOSS. liantly colored or- able conditiors fairly covers the tree, and is a beantiful sight. | ry IV—she whose ‘not being choice in his expr i rT i 5 ai aoil tt V ‘ | much like the devil that I'm arge, red or yellow, and under favor- | 80 Ctto of Roses. Otto or attar of roses is the frag- rant, volatile, essential oil extracted from the petals of roses and is obtain- ed by distilling the flawers with water. Essential oils are so-called on account of their possessing in a concentrated form the odor characteristic of the plant or vegetable substances from which they are obtained—being as it were the essence of the plant. Al- though roses are found growing wiid in nearly every part of the world, it is only in France, Turkey and India that they are-cultivated for tkeir per- fume. The Turkish oil is the one commorly found in the market. Otto of roses is the basis of all genuine rose perfume and is very expensive. Beauty Mask Displeased King.
