SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPLroHI
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2-The year Just

m the garden grow . flower;
 Humbly trailing it was found, Bent by clustered petals downward To tho damp, cool, shady ground Day by day the master spisd it,
 In its neutral tinted dress, Called 1t dull and hateful blossom, Vowed to ever love 1t less. ''For," spake he, 'tis never laden With the halo of perfume; Iris . soulless flower growing
 Where bright roses fair should bloom Iris weed that mars the garden, Plant me flowers rich and rare," Thus he bade the keeper spade it
 From his pathway every where. As he spoke, light supernal
 Filled each corner of tho place, And the master looked and trembled At the glory of a face. Smiling sadly down upon him,
 With look that seemed to say, Give this modest little creature
 Of Gods making leave to stay" It was Mary-virgin mother
 Like the morning, chaste and pure, Crowned with holy rays from heaven That his eyes could scarce endure. Low toward it she inclined her,
 Till her lips had touched the plant, Breathing full upon it's petals,
 Swaying on the messy slant And the air grew faint with odors Sweeter than Arabian spice; Then the sainted Mary vanished She had kissed the blossom thrice. Since that time, in all the garden Grows no sweeter thing as yet Than the lovely, heaven born flower, Than the fragrant migonette.

Ideas of Color.

Professor borden. writing in the Popular Science Monthly" says; "In my youth 1 always associated the idea of color with the letters of the alpha bet. In latter years the discovery that other people recognized no such color alton came to me as surprise. The letter R. for example, always calls up the idea of greenness. It is impossi- ble for me to think of R without the thought that it is green. In like man. ner s is yellow. and X scarlet The coloration does not seem to lie in the letter itself, as printed or written. but they ooexist with the conception which the letter represents AS the letter R comes into my mind. it seems to go. with grass and leaves, into the oatego- ry of green things. The sound has nothing to do with it's apparent cobra tion, for c soft and c hard are recog- nized as the same letter. and therefore colored alike. The coloration is moi affected by the character of the typo.

Padlocks on His Memory.

He is very bright little boy, but unlike Rudyard Kipling he has no idea that he knows it all and asks gues- tions that would worry a philosopher to answer. Recently he accompanied his mamma on trip via the cable line. After being informed that there was no man under the car pulling the rope" and giving various other additions to his store of knowledge his mamma became tired and refused to answer questions.
 Whats the use of telling you, !" said the good lady. you don't re- member, anyway. What 1 say goes ill one ear and out the othar. As she delivered herself of this reasoning the car stopped and several Italians boarded it. One of them wore ear-rings that looked very much like small padlocks>
 That man must be like me, said the little boy as he eyed the Italians closely.
 'Why2" asked his mamma
 Why. what they told him went in one ear and out the other until they had to put padlocks on to keep it in. Won't you get me a little paddock fo, my memory, mammal"
 By unanimous consent of the car load of pilgrims that boy was declared the geatest of the great unspanked. = Chicago News.

There Is always demand. near cities. for good family cows-where only one or two are kept for family use-and to supply this market the cows should be of the best.

We have tested our COWS for tho past twenty years by the following method, and it never fails: We take a cows milk by itself, weigh it and then weigh the cream and butter; keep close watch of the temperature and all the little things that might be against successful creaming of the milk se as not to condemn a COW when unfav- orable circumstances gave her a low record. Be sure to get the time it takes to stir or churn her cream into butter, and closely examine it's qual- ity; then you have exactly what each COW can do in the line of butter mak. ing.
 We always make these tests while the cows are at pasture. and can in this way decide quite correctly as to whether they are the kind of cows to make first-class butter herds We al- ways select and keep those whose time of churning is the nearest alike, and especially those whose cream can be got jnto butter in the least time If it does not make any more or better butter to churn as quickly as possible 1t will give you a sweeter disposition. especially in the busy season of the year. After a good many years expe- rience l have yet to learn the fact that it is necessary to churn 45 to 50 min utes (and many times twice that pe- riod) in order to have gilt-edge goods. On the other hand have known good cream to come into poor greasy butter because it was churned so long. There is no patent on this process of testing, and the means of making such test are in the hands of every dairyman. and they arc always to be relied on. - II. S. NJ. in the Country Gentleman.
