Does the mere fact that we entertain an affection fora certain individual make him or her our slave? Most parents regard their children as their personal property, and feel that they have just as much right to do as they please with them as they would with a horse or any other ani- mal that they own. They believe that they have the right to decide their children's lives for them. Nine times out of ten, 'when you hear parents speak of their children having been a great disap- pointment to them, or of their chil- dren having given them a great deal of trouble, it merely means that the children have insisted on doing the things they wanted to do in the world, instead of the things that their fath- ers and mothers wanted them to do. An ambitious mother considers her- self ill-used if she cannot induce her daughter to marry a rich suitor in- stead of the poor man she happens to love. And how many men are failures be- cause their fathers forced them into being business men when nature in- tended them for lawyers or doctors, or who are unsuccessful lawyers or doctors when they were designed for mechanics? Yet these fathers love their sons. They desire them to pros- per and be happy, but they feel that their affection makes their boys their property, and gives them the right to do with them as they please and dis- pose of them as they see fit, It is because parents feel that their children belong to them, and that they have no right to live their own lives in their own way, that many young people become anxious to get away from home, because that is the only way they can break their shackles. It is to get away from mother's petty tyranny that girls marry the first man who asks them. It is to get away from having to furnish an alibi for every minute they are out of the house that makes sons seek work away from home. It is because old people feel that they have a right to run their children's houses, and their hus- bands, and their wives, and their grandchildren, and because they con- tinually object, and advise, and super- vise everything about them, that make father and mother a burden to their children and a nightmare to their in-laws. The idea that matirmony is a slave market wherein you acquire the per- son and soul of another individual is responsible for nine -tenths of divorces., Too many men believe that their' wives belong to them, and that they have a right to their services without pay, and to dictate to them exactly what they shall think and do, and how they shall spend their time. And there are women who believe that they have a. complete claim on their .husbands, that they have a right to take all that their poor slave can earn, and to supervise every act of his life. They would be horrified at the idea of the man to whom they are married thinking he had any right to the money he makes, or to take any pleasure in his own way, or exercise any of the privileges of a free man. It is because we think those we love belong to us, instead of realizing that every human being belongs to himself or herself, and that what he or she gives us is a free gift, and not our right, that much of the unhappiness in life is caused. It is this tyranny that kills love; that drives husbands and wives to the divorce court; that alienates friends; that makes children leave home, and that is the curse of domesticity.

They are mare expensive, but if one had the round pan already, they would be cheaper than buying the other two articles. Either kind soon pays for itself.—Mrs. J. W. V. TESTED RECIPES.

Before he had finished the sentence, Lane saw another way of flight.: The apartment in front of Cunningham's was out of reach of the fire escape: But the nearest window of theone to the rear was closer. Beneath it ran a stone ledge. An active man could awing himself from the railing of the. platform to the coping and force an entrance into that apartment through the window.

Nowadays every large liner carries gardeners as an es- sential part of its crew: It would not be possible for the luxurious floating hotels of to -day to carry •on without then.; - Liners such as the 'Mauretania, Aquitania, and Majestic are very much "garden cities" in parts, and banks of flowers, evergreen shrubs and trees in tubs and boxes, hanging .baskets'' of growing things, small table plants, and a huge quantity of cut flowers in vases are used for decorative purposes dur- ing every voyage that is taken. It does not require much imagination to realize that looking after and arrang- ing all these garden bits aboard is a whole -time job for one man. Hence the gardener -sailor. The tea-garden and grand lounge on a great liner take scores of plants to make them look pretty, and there is a host of other rooms, to say nothing of'private suites, to be kept furnished with plants during, the voyage. Every day, too, dozens of vases for dinner and other tables have to be supplied with freshly -gut blooms, Some of the latter are taken aboard ready cut and kept in cold storage still required, but very many are obtained from flower- ing plants, which the ship's gardener keeps specially for :cutting purposes. The gardener aboard must combine artistry with horticultural proficiency, for he would soon lose his job if the liner's garden bits looked ugly and "thrown together," however well eared for the at tual plants might be. Re- markable skill is shown in achieving good decorative results, and on spe- cial occasions, or in rooms which de- mand it, the gardener manages to make his flowers match the general design. It is the gardener -sailor, too, who looks after special flowers which pas- sengers are anxious to have arrive on the other side in good condition. Incidentally, gardeners aboard ship learn a lot about planta which no amount of land life would teach them, especially regarding their qualities as sailors. Bay -trees, aspidistras, and many sorts of ferns are good travel- lers, and so are chrysanthemums and carnations, but roses do not like the life on board ship. Appreciated Attention.

German astronomers who observed the recent eclipse of the sun from a point in Mexico feel sure thein photo- graphs are the best taken and are has- tening to the observatory at Potsdam to develop the plates and work up the data. It will be remembered that several expeditions, notably those` sta- tioned at San Diego, Cal.,_were badly handicapped by clouds at the moment of total obscuration. Prof. Hans Ludendorff, brother of the German General, was in charge of the German astronomers, and he will be assisted by Prof. Einstein, who has left Holland for Berlin,. in determining Aust what the observations prove. It will take months, however, for the data to be worked, up and full conclu- sions drawn. An American expedition. and one from France also observed the eclipse under good conditions in the Mexican mountains, and the com- pletion of the work really makes a three cornered scientniflc:race.
