Dr, F. C. Starkweather, of Nichols, 
Conn,, writes : 
I have a tree of the Shaghark hickory species that 
bears the largest nuts that I know of In the vicinity. 
I send a few by to-day’s mall. With your opportun¬ 
ity of observing what grows In various parts of our 
country, yon may think they are small In comparison 
with others. 
If these nuts are a fair average sample, 
they are as large as any we have seen. 
They are about the size of the Hales’s 
hickory, though the shell is not so thin. 
The trouble is that it is difficult to propa¬ 
gate a variety of hickory by any known 
method. 
Word for Word. 
-Life: “The editor who is always 
feeling the pulse of the people is not 
really interested in their heart-beats It 
is his own circulation that he is looking 
after.” 
- Macaulay : “There are not 10 people 
in the world whose deaths would spoil 
my dinner; but there are one or two 
whose deaths would break my heart.” 
-Life : “Hob Ingersoll says : ‘I des¬ 
pise a stingy man. I do not see how it 
is possible for a man to die worth $5 000,- 
000 or $10,000,000 in a city full of want, 
when he meets almost every day the 
withered hand of beggary and the white 
lips of famine. How a man can with¬ 
stand all that, and hold in the clutch of 
his hand $30,000,0"0 or $30,000,000, is past 
my comprehension. I do not see how he 
can do it.’ ” 
-Fkaxk R. Stockton ix Home Jour¬ 
nal: “If house service could be looked 
upon in the proper way it wouldn’t take 
long for American girls who have to work 
for their living to find out that it’s a lot 
better to live with nice people, and cook 
and wait on the table, and do all those 
things which come natural to women the 
world over, than to stand all day behind 
a counter under the thumb of a floor¬ 
walker, or grind their lives out like 
slaves among a lot of steam engines and 
machinery.” 
-Euward W. Bok : “Why is it that 
men cannot open their eyes more clearly 
to the fact that their wives live for them? 
That one-half, yes, three-fourths of the 
little things they do are done for them? 
And if they see it, or feel it, or know it, 
why, in the name of common sense, don’t 
they show that they do ? Why, if they 
like to have a thing done for them, can’t 
they say so ? ” 
“Is a woman less human than a man? 
If a word of praise or recognition helps 
men in their business, is the same word 
of less value to a woman in whose eyes 
it is infinitely more than business can 
ever be? A wife needs the spoken word 
of appreciation far more than do you, 
the husband. A woman’s life is made up 
of little things, and the word that speaks 
of love, of recognition, is one of the 
“ Who has a prior claim to a husband’s 
love, and who a better right to know it ? 
What is it that men do for their wives 
that is at all an equivalent for what 
wives do for their husbands ? Provide 
for them? That’s a duty and nothing 
more.” 
“The more husbands remain lovers 
the better it will be for the wives of our 
land. It is the expressed love of a hus¬ 
band that makes a wife radiantly happy, 
and nothing else can take its place.” 
-Bourkk Cockran : “ The happiest 
situation exists when one nation imports 
from another that which it cannot so 
cheaply produce and pays for it with 
commodities which it can more cheaply 
produce.”

biggest of those little things.” 
“One would imagine that some men 
used up their entire stock of pretty say¬ 
ings before marriage, judging from their 
economy of them afterward.” 
“Women will gladly wear themselves 
out in caring for the homes of their hus¬ 
bands; they are ready to sacrifice their 
lives, if need he. These sacrifices they 
make gladly. Only one thing they ask, 
and that is their husband’s love—given 
not by inference, hut expressed in words 
and in deeds. That, to a woman, is the 
elixir of life.” 
“Too many husbands treat their wives 
altogether as if they were nothing hut 
genteel drudges, the managers of their 
homes, and nothing more. If a man mar¬ 
ries a woman to acquire a good house¬ 
keeper, and the woman knows it at the 
time, I have nothing to say.” 
“ Because their lives are full of diver¬ 
sions, far broader in their scope, they 
cannot understand why a woman allows 
so many little things to influence her. 
Forgetful are they of the fact that the 
sphere of woman is one of infinite 
detail.”
