Among the many suggestions concern
ing national flower, one which comes
from Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon ma
tional flower, but let each state choose a
state flower, and have national bou-
quet," composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain Of the states have en-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegay.
Massachusetts people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower. The cedar sprig OF
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute needed tinge of green
to the nosegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend its fragrance, and
the mountain laurel of Alabama would
crown it resplendently.
The goldenrod and the aster would bo-
long to the first state which should for
mally adopt them, and so would the
graceful shooting star of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to Ego around"
A bouquet composed of all these state
flowers and tree branches would grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. 1t would say
''E pluribus unum" to the ordinary in
telligence more plainly than the Latin
motto does.-Youth's Companion.

Now, as the thousands in the cube
given exceed 1876 and are less than 216,
the tens in the reply must be 5. For the
second figure, or units, a curious trick
comes in. The cubes of 1, 4, 5, 8 and 9
end in the same figures; the cube of 2 Is
s; the cube of ends in Z, and reversely
the cube of ends in 2 and the cube OF
z in 8.
So when the questioner says 10000
Chere you say to yourself 5Ol 60S, you say
out loud on the instant, so.

something. The last figure is 4; there

A MEMORY OF LOIS.

The day when Lois walked with me
September skies were blue.
The woodbine on the wayside wall
Had found its autumn hue.
In gown of changing green and rose,
With undersleeves of white,
With skirt in loose and flowing folds
And bodice trim and tight.
Her low combed hair was just the shade
OF fallen chestnut burrs.
The cheeks of mellow astrakhans
Are not more ripe than hers.
1t seemed the mushrooms showed their
caps
To win her eyes of brown,
And for one look into their depths
The orchard boughs bent down.
A blossom of the early fall
That later days would chill
Dear girl, somewhere those eyes must
wear
A CLEAN of summer still.
The rank weeds choke the orchard way
Where once we went and came,
And MOSES make the marble gray
That long has borne her name.
But with such still September days
As Lois walked with me,
She fits before my vision now,
A happy memory.
Cora A. Matson in Springfield Republican.

LABEL FOR NURSERY AND GARDEN.


gests convenience for farmers who are
DESTROYS of keeping watch over the con-
tents of their orchards and gardens.
The wire is about the size of COM
mon knitting needle and may be of any
desired length. The label is of common
sheet zinc and may be made larger or
smaller according to the amount of writ
ing. The one illustrated gives the name
of the variety, date of planting and name
of the nurseryman from whom it was
purchased. The latter is many times of
considerable Importance. The writing is
done with common pen and ink. This
label is far superior to the common wood
en- kind, as it is practically indestructi-
BILE and may be applied to any kind of
stake, vine or tree. 1t is not patented.

A clerk in dry goods store told us q
humorous incident which had for its her
Dine well known society girl. The
young man has in charge department
where paper patterns are sold, and the
other day in walked the aforesaid young
woman anxious to buy the pattern of a
wrap for her aunt. ''What sizeY' que
ried the clerk ooh, l do not know"
answered the girl. Cannot you give
me some ideal" went on the youth, anx-
ious if possible to make a sale. ''She is
rather large and above the average
height" laughed the fair maid, but this
answer was not one bit helpful, so she
was obliged to go away without the de-
sired pattern, but as she was leaving the
store a bright thought struck her, and
she returned to the counter, and with
evident triumph in her face and manner
announced, II can get it now; she's 45
years old" and she could not understand
why this vivid description did not enable
the stupid person behind the counter to
give her the exact size that she required.

Laxansse Music.

The Javanese musical instruments are
made mostly of bamboo. They also
played upon a pipe or whistle, which
was about 3 feet long and 6inches across.
This sounded like the hollow roar of a
lion. Another was bundle Of tubes of
different lengths, which covered the
small boy who carried it like big sad

stretched across it served as a drum. A

inside one could hear other music made
by gongs of wonderfully pure and beau
tiful tone.-St. Nicholas.

In Paris, in the revolution Of 1880, a
law student was soundly kicked by one
of the kings officers for tearing down a
copy of the ordinances placarded on the
wall. The officer was armed, the student

half century later-in 1879-the officer
called upon the student to bid him good
by, having just resigned the presidency
of the French republic on account of q
radical difference with the majority Of
the national assembly ON questions Of
state policy. He combined with his
Adieux, also, graceful word of con-

The Little Rock Gazette has got every
body mixed up by bringing forward q
new pronunciation of the name Arkan-
sas. No one but Englishmen or Bosto-
mans pronounce the word as tits spelled.
It was understood that the legislature of
the state some years ago officially fixed
the pronunciation as Arkansaw. Here
comes The Gazette, however, with q
poem entitled my Happy Little Home
In Arkansas" in which the final syllable
of Arkansas is made to rhyme first with
Glow" and then with below" This
indicates that the native pronunciation
of the name is not Arkansaw but Arkan-
SOW, and we are at sea again. The Ar
kansawyers or the Arkansowers should

coming puzzling and annoying. Per-
