Do city people have much pa tience? I leave It to you. “It takes a considerable amount of practical knowledge that farmers hare to be born with, a kind of traditional information that never gets into the query column nor any other column of the agricultural periodicals. This knowledge may possibly be included in theoretical farming, hut I have never found it there. It's what keeps tha city man from succeeding in the country. "He knows where he can get $5 a doien for squabs and 60 cents a doien for eggs and $1 a pound for butter and $3 a pair for broilers all the year round. It sounds pretty good. It isn’t the first business proposition that has figured out finely on paper Now the farmer rarely figures. He saws wood, gets up at 4 a. m. and does the best he can. He is not an enthusiast, and there's a pretty good reason for it “The farmer is a patient man He doesn’t dress up much and. without meaning to speak disparagingly, he eats what he can't sell. City people who lire in the country sell what they can’t eat The farmer is obliged to live frugally in order to make both ends meet By the time the city man gets through eating and entertain ing his friends there is nothing left He known too well what good living is."

Results, However, Are Well Worth the Expenditure of Time and Trouble—Hardwood Always the Best and Cheapest. Undoubtedly the best floors for the average house are hardwood, but to keep them In order requires work. Daily wiping and polishing Is neces sary, but the beauty resultant more than repays trouble, and such floors, unless they are abused, wear well. Their expensiveness differs according as to whether or not they are par quetry or plain, and for bedrooms and halls the latter Is as good, except In very elegant houses. If drawing and living room floors can be finished with a border they are more effective, but even in these places design is not necessary. What is required Is posi tion of the boards—that is. close to gether and smooth, so they can be kept in the highest state of polish and cleanliness. >' hen a house that ts occupied dur ing the entire year is fitted with hard wood floors the problem of carpeting is solved, for in winter rugs can be used, while in the summer the beards may be left uncovered. The latter ef fect is cool and pretty. For general durability there are cov erings which conceal unfinished floor ing and are more easily kept clean than carpeting. In these days of fre quent moving, when housekeepers do uot like to have carpets and mattings cut to fit rooms, rugs of endless vari ety and material come in prices w hich are equally varied. A Wilton or tapes try carpet, cut like a large rug and fin ished with a wide border, is practical ;n many different places, and a rough floor may have a border stained to make a suitable finish. For summer, or to use all the year in bedrooms, mats of straw are ex tremely pretty. They come in straw colored grounds with designs of vari ous sixes. They wear well and are easily kept clean. Nothing could be prettier than some of the hand woven rag rugs. They haTe the merit of washing when soiled, and have sufficient warmth to be good for winter, and yet are light enough for summer wear. In many summer houses they are used exclusively for the upstairs rooms, and large ones are exceedingly nice in dining rooms. They can be woven to order and for dining rooms round ones showing a border of contrasting color are both effective and durable. Rag carpeting also now comes by the yard, and by many persons is pre ferred to matting because of the way dust sifts through the latter. Rag stair carpeting is extremely pretty. A floor covering khich has cork in itsg composition has come into favor for bed and billiard rooms as well as dining rooms, h is rather thick and has some "give," and may be w ashed with soap and water as a bare floor, it Is the common covering In many I'ng Ush nurseries, ow ing to its hygienic qualities.

A Comer in Ancestors By ELEANOR LEXINGTON Gardiner Family (Copyrtpht bj XcClur* ScntlnM Gardiner. Gardner, Gardener and Gardyner. are the only variations of this name, which is derived from the Saxon words “gar." a weapon, and ••dyn.” a sound, an alarm. Gardvn, then, means a martial sound, or clash ing of arms: or Gardyner. one who lead a martial life. , The Gardiners have been prominent in affairs all along the ages, and since those days called poetically “the twi light of fable.” they have helped make history. Stephen Gardiner, bom 14S3. at Bury St. Edmunds, was lord chan cellor of England and bishop of Win chester. "Waverley.” Scott’s work, describes 1 the death of Col. James Gardiner, a Scottish soldier, born in I.inltthgow. whose life was written by Doddridge. Very profligate in youth, his whole life changed, and he became very de vout after what he regarded as a supernatural vision vouchsafed to him. In the colonial records the name ap pears as Gardener and Gardner, quite *2 *s frequently as Gardiner The May flower pilgrim was Richard Gardiner Thomas Gr.rdiner cjrae over in 1624. to "oversee the planting of the colony" and for this reason he has been called the first governor of Massachusetts. He had extensive grants of laud In Salem and Danvers. He married. In Knglatid. Margaret Frier. One of the most picturesque figures of colonial times was Sir Christopher Gardiner, living in Boston. before there was any Boston. and accompanied by a lovely woman, his wife. He wore a large cavalier hat and heavy cloak, and was never without his long Span ish raider. A melodramatic personage he has often figured in the pages of romance. No more romantic story is found in our national annals than that of Uon. or Lyon. Gardiner, the only real •lord." so the story goes. that this America of our has eTer been able to boast. An Island In Long Island sound —nine miles long by one and a half miles aide—was purchased by Gardt* • ner from the Indians for “one gun. a few Dutch blankets, and one large, black dog." a year or so after Gardiner landed in Boston. 1S35. The purchase i of the land was confirmed by the agents of Lord Sterling, and by the terms the Island was constituted * separate plantation, in no wise depend ing upon New Kngland or New York, and its owner was empowered to make j all laws necessary to church and state A few years later the governor of New York consented to the erecting of the island into a lordship and manor, to be called Gardiner's island, and Lion Gardiner was practically king, living j in a handsome manor house, with wife | and two children, and a retinue of servants. The principal part of Smith town. L. I.. was given to Lion, as a re i ward for rescuing a bride—the daugh ter of an Indian sachem—on the night of her nuptials. She was carried off by a hostile tribe of Indians, but res cued by Gardiner. Gardiner Island, like an almost royal domain, had its hundred or more re ! tainers; rarely less than C* horses were stabled there; StH> cattle grated in Its sunny pastures, and five times as many sheep. The island Is still in possession of descendants of Lies who left it to his son David Without mention of Oapt Kidd this story is incomplete. When the pirate anchored in Gardiner's bay be helped himself to whatever he wanted, and added insult to Injury by tying Mr Gardiner to a mulberry tree. I'poa taking leave of the island he showed w here he had buried a box of treasure, and said that tf he never returned It belonged to the family. To the lady of the manor he gave a present of cloth of gold, a bit of which la still a family relic. In the buried boa were “six diamonds, rubies small and great. GT green stones. other precious stones, silver bars without number, and one gold bar, a coral necklace, and S$ bales of silk, somewhat damnified' by water."
