Wild Roses in Britain.

We have altogether some five true
wild roses in Britain. The commonest
is the dog-rose, which everybody knows
we'll ; and next comes the almost equally
familiar sweet-briar, with its delicateiy-
scented glandular leaves. The burnett
rose is the parent of our cultivated
Scotch roses, and the two other native
kinds are comparatively rare. Double
garden roses are produced from the sim
gle five-petalled wild varieties by making
the stamens (Which are the organs for
manufacturing pollen) turn into bright
colored petals. There is always more or
less of tendency for stamens thus to
alter their character; but in wild state
it never comes to any good, because
such plants can never set seed, for want
of pollen, and so die out in a single gen.
Grafton. Our gardeners, however, care
fully select these distorted individuals.
and so at length produce the large, hand
some, barren flowers with which we are
SO familiar. The cabbage and moss
roses are monstrous forms thus bred
from the common wild French roses OF
the Mediterranean region; the China
roses are cultivated abortions from an
Asiatic species and most of the other
| garden varieties are artificial crosses
between these or various other kinds,
obtained by fertilizing the seed vessels
of one bush with pollen taken from the
blossoms of another of a different sort.
To botanical eye, double flowers, how
ever large and fine, are never really
beautiful, because they lack the order
and symmetry which appear SO CON
spicuously in the fine petals, the clust.
cred stamens and the regular stigmas o1
the natural form. -BeL0raUia.

The Royal Mummies.

Among the royal mummies recently
discovered in Egg pit, with all the mortu-
aiy appendages and inscriptions, are the
bodies of Thutmes Ill. and Rameses III.
Think of it. Here is the body, in an ex-
cellent state of preservation, of Thut-
mes, the monarch who erected the obe-
lisk that is now set up on the Thames
embankment in London, and of Ra
meses, the monarch whose name and
fame are perpetuated in the inscriptions
on that monument. The account of the
discovery says that "even the flowers
and garlands which We're placed in their
coffins may be seen encircling the masks
which cover the faces of the deceased
just as they were left by the mourners
over three thousand years ago."
This great collection was found in a
gallery two hundred feet long, "filled
with relics of tine Thebian dynasties -
relics that had been removed from their
regular resting places in tombs and tenn
Piles by the priests, and concealed in this
secret subterranean gallery to preserve
them against the sacrilege Of some foreign

How to Make Labor Cheerful.

A dozen or so years ago the wife of
President Garfield wrote her husband
letter, in which the following passage
occurs:
81 am glad to tell that, out of all the
toll and disappointments of the summer
Just ended, have risen up to victory;
that the silence of thought since you
have been away has won for my spirit g
triumph. I read something like this
the other day: There is no healthy
thought without labor, and thought
makes the laborer happy Perhaps
this is the way have been able to climb
up higher. 1t came to me one morning
when L was making bread. 1 said to
myself: Here I am, compelled by an
inevitable necessity to make our bread
this summer. Why not consider it a
pleasant occupation, and make it SO by
trying to see what perfect bread I can
make p 1t seemed like an inspiration,
and the whole of life grow brighter.
| The very sunshine seemed flowing down
through my spirit into the white loaves,
and now I believe my table is furnished
| with better bread than ever before, and
this truth, old as creation, seems just
now to have become fully mine, that I
| need not be the shirking slave to toll,
but its regal master, making whatever I
do yield me its best fruits. You have
been king of your work SO long maybe
you will laugh at me for having lived so
long without my crown, but I am too
glad to have found it at all to be entire
ly disconnected, even by your merri-
ment. Now wonder if right here does
not lie the terrible wrong, or, at least,
some of it, of which the woman sutfrag-
lists complain. The wrongly-educated
woman thinks her duties disgrace and
frets under them, or shirks them if she
can. She sees man triumphantly pur-
suing his vocations, and thinks it is the
kind of work he does which makes him
grand and regnant; whereas, it Is not
the kind of work at all, but the way in
which, and the spirit with which, he
does it."

A Visit TO Henry Claws Tomb,

Here we visited Ashland Farm, the
home of the "Great Harry of the West. :"
All of that once magnificent farm Except
a portion owned by James Clay and on
which he now resides) was bought by
the State of Kentucky. A portion has
been set apart for an Agricultural and
Mechanical School. The old residence,
ON account of its dilapidated condition,
has been rebuilt by one of his sons on
the same model. A good many of the
trees planted by the hands of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clay as ornaments to the grounds
have been cut down and carried away.
He is buried in one of the most elevated
spots in the Lexington Cemetery. The
State of Kentucky has erected over his
remains very imposing monument of
granite and marble, cut from its own
quarries. In the basement of the mon
ument, through glass door, is seen his
tomb, on which is inscribed one of those
eloquent sentences, taken from one of
his speeches in Congress, in which he
calls on God to bear him witness to the
purity of his motives and the absence of
any desire for self-aggrandizement that
prompted his advocacy of the pending
measure before Congress.

ShOe.PegS.

To massachusetts man, Joseph Wal
ker, is due the credit of inventing the
shoe-peg. Previous to the year 1918 its
use had not been known, and the inven-
ton gave a new start to the manufacture
of boots and shoes. Up to that date
such articles had been sewed, and the
peg, made at first by hand, came in to
revolutionize the trade. 1t was, however,
the custom of shoemakers who lived
away from the manufacturing centers to
make their own pegs by hand even down
to recent times, out the machine-manu-
factured peg has now superseded all
such slow work, just as the horseshoe
nail manufacture is now almost wholly in
the hands of establishments that make
them by machinery The usual story
comes with the introduction of the shoe
peg, to the effect that some unscrupulous
parties tried to swindle the unsuspecting
by endeavoring to sell shoe-pegs as a
new kind of oats. But this tale is like
many others, to be read and then "taken
under advisement."

Substitutes for Wood.

Year by year other materials are be-
ing substituted for wood in the erection
of dwellings and buildings of all kinds,
in the construction of bridges. fences
and sidewalks, in the manufacture of
carriages, agricultural implements and
furniture, for producing heat for cooking
and warming dwellings,, and for general
ing steam. In many parts of the coun-
try it is quite as cheap to erect buildings
of brick or stone as of wood, though the
time required is somewhat longer.
Within the past five years boards have
given place to wire in building farm
fences, and in ten years more wooden
fence posts will give place to those of
stone, cement or iron. Wood is rapidly
going out Of use as material for hoops
for barrels and other forms of cooper's
ware and, indeed, barrels and casks of
any kind are giving way to other kinds
of packages for holding other substances
than liquids. Wooden pavements are
now generally condemned in all large
cities, and wooden sidewalks will soon
share their fate. Recently baskets made
of strip-iron for picking cotton, gather
ing potatoes and harvesting fruit have
been introduced. They are light, clean,
very serviceable and comparatively cheap.
Furniture made of metal or stone is fast
displacing that manufactured from wood.
Wood supports are still used for rail
way tracks, but it is likely that substi-
tute for them in some form of metal or
stone will be found before trees can be
grown of sufficient size to convert into
ties. Not only sea-going steamers and
vessels are made OF iron. but many
smaller boats are constructed of the same
material. With the exception of steam
boats navigating rivers and lakes whose
banks and shores are lined with forests,
or locomotives running through sections
of the country that are heavily wooded,
there is no longer a demand for wood for
generating steam. No one will question
the excellence of wood fire, whether it
burns in stove or open CRATE, but it is
no longer economical in most places,
even if the material to support it can be
obtained at comparatively low price.
Wood is bulky, while coal is compact.
The former requires considerable prepa-
ration before it can be used, while the
latter needs none. Much more labor is
required to keep up fire of wood than
one of any kind of coal. Wood needs
better protection than coal, and depre
ciates In value much faster when kept in
any situation. Times.

A TeutOnic Argument.

In the Legislature of Ohio, some
years ago, there was warm dispute
whether a certain proposed railroad
should commence at a given point down
or at certain other up the river.
"Who ever heard" said down-the-
river advocate, "of beginning anything
at the top? Who ever heard of building
chimney from the top downward =?
Who ever saw house begun at the top?'
Up jumped Dutch member from an
up-thc-river county. "Meester Brezi-
dent, de jentlemans zay dat dees beez-
mes ees all Won hoomboog, because wee
wants to pcgeen our railroat NIT de top
ov de Shtate, und he make some seely
combarisons apout de houze und de
schimncy. I veel also ask de jentle-
mans Won questions. Een hees bart ov
de Shtate, ven dey pegins to built Won
veil, do dey pegins NIT de bottom ov de
veil, or do dey pegins NIT de top ov de
veil? Veel de jentlemans blees answer
me dat leetle Won question:"
The laughter which explosively fol.
lowed this TeIltonic retort showed who
in the opinion of the Legislators, had the
better of the argument. Mag

plot Of clay subsol as hard as the floor
of q brick-yard, from which the surface
had been washed away, but the peculiar
significance of this habit was not i'm
pressed upon me until during a recent
drive over a newly made road, I saw this
same plant growing upon the bare clay
of the roadside, whence the soil had
been scraped in making the roadside,
and where even white clover was making
but scant living although the melilot
was already as tall as the red clover on
the fertile soil of the neighboring field.
The plant-otherwise known as Bokhara
or sweet-scented clover-has become
naturalized here at a comparatively re-
cent date. but has long been known as a
forage plant both for cattle and bees,
being well adapted for soiling, as it
makes a growth of four to six feet dur
ing the season and it is said to bear two
or three cuttings while its sweet-scented
blossoms afford a favorite pasture for
the honey gatherers. The German anal
ysis gives to its hay a feeding value of
s15 per ton, against $16.28 for Every
good red clover hay, while its habit of
growth is such that should expect it to
yield much heavier crop than red clo-
yer. But without discussing the value
of the melilot as foliage plant, the OBJ
servations have noted indicate that we
may possibly find in it counterpart of
the Southern cowpen as a recuperator of
exhausted soils, and at the same time
find it better adapted to our climate and
circumstances than the cowpen. As it
grows much more rapidly than red clo-
YER, whether from the seed or from the
root, and seems to thrive so well on ster-
lie soils, apparently growing by prefer
ence in such places, it would seem well
worthy of trial as a green-manuring
crop. A further reason for a more gen.
eral examination of the merits of the
melilot than has yet been made in this
country, is the probable failure of the
red clover from the depredations of the
European clover beetle, which according
to the statements of Professor Barnard.
in the report of the Cornell University
Experiment Station, is already threaten
ing the total destruction of that crop in
some sections of New York.
