Doxwood's Many Uses.

Dogwood wands make excellent whip
stocks, and are used in some OF the bcst
whips. They are cut sometimes by coach
men In the suburbs and sent to town to be
dressed and made up into whips. Ths
stocks made of this wood are notable foi
their ornamental knobs at regular inter
walls, being the truncated and rounded
branches. These are initiated In some 9th
er whipstocks but the imitation Is Gauss
of weakness. The dogwOod stocks are e9-
tremely tough and elastic, being compar-
able in elasticity with whalebone. The
wood Is used also for butchers skewers,
and some philologists conjecture that the
first syllable of the name is corruption
of "dag." meaning n spine or dagger
Dogwood, as being peculiarly free from
slick, Is used by watchmakers and opti-
clans in cleaning watches and lenses. The
bitter bark the dogwood Is used also as
q substitute for the bark of the Peruvian
quinine tree. Dogwood Is notably OF slow
growth, am In all thickly peoplcd regions
the tree Is T 'klessly despoilcd for tho sake
of Its blossoms, so that the supply ot inc
wood for commercial purposes is not large.

A Suggestion For Entertainers.

dansante has had bad experience Of the
class of entertainers whom Mr.. George
Grossmith calls society clowns. One OF his
friends recommended him to secure the
services of a certain young man to amuse
the guests The tradesman took the ad'
vice, and the young man was among thos~
who attended the soiree. First, the young
man gave an imitation of Paulus, then
began an imitation of Mmo. Sarah Bern

he took off the wooden case, then he pro
ceeded to unscrsw the instrument, ptecs
by piece, and to pile up tho pieces on the
floor. There was much laughter when,
after all this, the young man said, II have
it," and exhibited balfpenny. When II
came to putting the piano together again.
however, he declared 1t must be sent TO
the makers, and there was therefore ne
dancing that night. A hundred Franco
damages were awarded by a court OF law
to the outraged tradesman, who very nat
urally pleaded that when he invited an
entertainer to make his guests laugh, ID
was not in order that they should be, made
to laugh at his expense.-London News

TO A WILD ROSE.


Wild rose at night,
When sets the sum- thy petals sink to rest,
Folded as though in prayer across thy breast
In sweet delight.
Then shadows creep
Across the moss grown moor, and with sigh
The wind comes dreaming from cloudess sky
Upon thy sleep.
To me thou art
The perfect model Of transient Joy,
Tho first fair love that charms the growing
boy
..E And stirs his heart.
I would forget
The long ago when first saw thy face,
Upturned and lovely with perfumed grace
That haunts me yet.
It mirrored then
A thousand thoughts, each from placid calm
Which threw its image with throbbing charm
That glowed again.
Those hopes arc dead,
As In their last embrace thy red leaves close
1t Is the hidden, not the perfect rose
That bares its head.
And in the past
The dreams that were are wrapt within the
cloud
OF ripper thought, and that to which we bowed
Is gone at last.
