Her daily life from the time she was fourteen had been almost convntual in its sinwpli- city; she had had no opportunity of verifying by the observation of ac- tualities the opinions which 'she held' so strongly; therefore she was never troubled with doubts. If there was another side to the question, her fav- orite novels did not teach it, and no one had ever made her see it. To be perfectly frank, no one had ever seri- ously tried, except herfather, and his efforts were chiefly aimed at drawing her out. He opposed her for the sake of seeing her eyes lose their dreamy look in a flash of temper, and her color rise with indignation; and when he had enticed her into saying some- thing sufficiently cutting about the folly and brutality of men, he usually the good deeds that are done in the was right.

What has become of the family medicine -chest, stocked with the pro- ducts of the herb -garden? It has gone the way of most old-fashioned customs, but its revival is .imminent. The drug -markets of Germany and Austria are now 'closed, and, hi con- sequence of the very large proportion of drugs which were yearly imported from these countries, we are now pay- ing the price in more senses than one. Cod-liver oil is sixty per cent. dearer than formerly, astropine fetches from $35 to $40 , an ounce, bromide is ten times as dear, and aspirin has realised a figure unheard of before hostilities commenced. Certain drugs are now worth their weight in gold. When you plan out your garden this year, have an eye to the practical as well as the picturesque.
