HoILT-HoCKs are coming IN style
again. Years ago when pansies were
known only as Johnny-jump- ups, and
fuschias and geraniums were all inn
ported from foreign lands and cost
two dollars a smell, holly-hocks were
the pride Of every garden, and held
sway along with the peony and the
cabbage rose. But the memorable de-
crees Of fashion ordered them all on
to the back seat, and there they have
sat and patiently bided their time like
the plain skirted dress, until the
tickle world has gone through the
dizzy program of fancy varieties in
flowers and in attire, and now they
Ind themselves trotted out, the dust
OF years shaken out of their gar
ments, and they given prominent
position in the flower garden. They
have been doubled up and colored up
by the manipalations of the florist,
until people wonder why their beau
ties were never discovered before.
This is a tickle world, and that's what
relieves tho monotony, and makes
business. The holy-hock should
make good use Of its time for next
year somebody Of wealth and influence
will discover new beauty in the dande-
lion or sun-hower, and the holly-hoek
will be laid on the shelf again, and be
numbered with the great and ever IN
creasing chestnut" family.

some men are 50 annoyed by the
dust raised by their own generation,
that being unable to pass before it,
they lag behind it. In a grow ing free
country like ours, each gen Grafton
must raise its cloud of dust, as our
own most certainly has raised, and is
raising still. In theory we have our
choice Of position, either to be In
front OF our times, free from its dust,
or behind 1t; more perhaps, like an
earthly politician in q pout, than like
saint in retirement, following sulkily
along, IN q path that others have
marked out for him; or in the great
cloud Of dust, increasing the amount
ourselves, IN our very efforts to keep
Others still; so blinded by it that we
often mistake friends and foes, unable
to see the beauty Of scenes through
which We are passing; happy, if, at all
times we can see even dimly, the
North Star Of duty that shines above
the earth-born clouds. Practically,
however, to most of US, the choice is
confined to one Of two positions. He
who can get clearly IN front Of his
contemporaries, viii be very lonely.
But one should avoid the common
mistake Of supposing that because one
is not in the dust, he is therefore
ahead of it.

HERE is q characteristic article from

"And nov comes the astute supreme
court Of Pennsylvania with a decision
that marriages on Sunday are null
and void, because Of the law that con-
tracts entered into on Sunday
are not binding on either party.
If that be so, the contract
made By L sinner on Sunday to
serve God rather than the lower pas
sions Of men is not binding, and the
converted one must hang around the
depot till Monday before he can get
a ticke5 that will be honored by
the conductor. According to this de-
cision children projected on Sunday
