association of the Virgin Mother with
the Easter time has connected the East
er lily with her as an emblem or pur-
ity, the religious significance OF the
Easter lily being spotless purity.
Painters of religious pictures long ago
conceived the idea of placing one OF
these spotless emblems OF purity in
the hand Of the angel that with a
countenance like lightning and raiment
white as snow" declared the resurrec-
ton of Christ. says the New York
World.
How conspicuous a part the Easter
lily plays in the Easter festival can
best be appreciated and understood by
figures. The annual expectation OF
Easter lily bulbs from Bermuda to this
country for the past five years has
been from 100000 to 10000 AS the
average production of every bulb is six
flowers, we use from 100000 to 49,
600 900 Easter lilies in decoration year
ly. or course this entire crop Is not
used for the Easter festival, as the
Easter lily has been popular for the
past ten years for interior decorations,
weddings, receptions or other similar
ceremonies. But growers of the Easter
lily insist that fully so per cent o. the
entire crop is used during Easter week.
The fashion of using Easter lilies to so
great an extent is one peculiar to the
United States. And while certain
quantity of these bulbs are sent to Eu-
rope from Bermuda, it is but mini
mum by comparison with the American
market. IL is about ten years now
since the American market for the Ber-
muda Easter lily has been the largest
in the world. All of our Easter lilies,
however, do not come from Bermuda.
A very beautiful variety comes from
Holland and Japan. About ten per cent
Of the lilies cultivated here comes from
these two countries. The other ninety
per cent comes from Bermuda, and the
reason is obvious The extra freight
from Japan and Holland prevents the
products of these countries from com
peting with those of Bermuda. Besides,
the Bermuda lily is more beautiful, and
Is easier to bring into bloom at Easter
than either of the other two species. |
Forcing the Easter lily to bloom Just
at the desired season is the result of
much calculation on the part of tae
growers. The Easter lily is a short |
lived plant as far as its bloom is con-
cerned. the blossoms or flowers lasting !
only about two weeks. 1t expends all |
It's strength for the time being In that |
one blossoming. and for that season does !
not bud again.

FUTURE WAR SURGERY.
A High Authority Writes About the
Probabilities of Battles to Come.

A High Authority Writes About the
Probabilities of Battles to Come.
1t would appear probable that in a
future war many of the wounds pro-
duced by the new projectile will be sur
gically less severe and prove amenable
to effective surgical treatment, says Ma
ture. Probably, also, the number of Sc
we're injuries will be very great, when
we consider the enormous range of the
new weapon and the penetrating power
OF the projectile, which enables 1t TO
traverse the bodies Of two or three in
dividuals in line, including bones, and
to infiict serious or fatal wounds at a
distance of 5000 or 1000 yards. 1t Is
impossible to say what the proportion
between these two is likely to be. At
near ranges the explosive effects will
be much the same as before. but ut
long range the narrow bullet track. the
small external wounds, which often ap-
proach the simultaneous In character,
and the moderate degree of comminu-
ton and assuring of the bone will be
surgically advantageous. These will
form the bulk OF the gunshot injuries
Of the future, for it would seem impos-
sible with magazine quick-firing rifles
to maintain contest at close quar-
tiers without speedy mutual annihila-
ton.
We may take II for granted that the
number OF wounded in proportion to
the numbers engaged and actually un-
der fire Will be greater than before. The
supply of ammunition will be larger,
the facility for its discharge greater
and smokeless powder will increase the
accuracy OF aim.
/ think we are justified in believ-
ing, although there is high authority
for contrary opinion, that the next war
will be more destructive to human life
-"bloodier," in fact, than any of its
predecessors-and that the number of
injuries, and in many cases the severity
of the injury, will be largely increased.
But very many cases will remain less
severe in character, more capable of
successful treatment. and less likely 10
entail future disablement, while i'm
proved sanitation and antiseptic meth
DDS will enormously increase the pro-
portion of recoveries.

HOW ARE YOUR FENcEs2
A Very Important Question with Farm
ers and Otbers Just Now

A Very Important Question with Farm
ers and Others just Now.
Probably there is nothing that inter
ests the land owner more at this time
of the year than fencing. They are de-
sirous of securing the very best article
they can for the purpose they desire to
use 1t for and at the cheapest price
going. While this is good business
price should not take the place OF
quality. In building a smooth wire
fence you do not build IT for temporary
use but expect it to last you for years
and to get this kind Of an article It
requires a certain amount of good ma
terial to make it.
The De Kalb Fence Co., Of De Kalb,
ILL.,, has the largest and most COM
plete line of smooth wire fencing OF any
plant in the country. We desire par
ticularly to call your attention to their
goods and write them for a catalogue
which they will mail you free.
No line of goods has grown so rapidly
in demand or given such general satis~
faction as the fencing manufactured by
this company. Their steel web picket
fence for lawn and yard purposes. their
cabled field and hog fence for farm use,
their cabled poultry, garden and rabbit
fence for its use, are ali they claim for
them.
You will hardly do yourself justice tx
you do not thoroughly investigate their
lines before placing your order.

The tender thought that prompts the

told him that henceforth We would
be the very best and warmest OF friends.
and that happier days were In store TOT
him and for those at home, that could
find work for him to do which would
certainly help toward the support OF all
three.
Such a happy Jack as he was when l
sent him home that April morning. with
the heavy basket on one arm and pail
OF milk on the other! And l wish l
could tell you-for / am sure you would
like to hear-what pleasant days fol-

We should never come to the end OF II.
Indeed, there is no end to 1t. 1t Is a
story which is being lived through now.
and 1t grows more interesting and more
beautiful. more tender and true with
every chapter.
Jack is proving himself the hero
knew him to be.
He works early and late on small
piece of ground which we allow him to
cultivate on our farm, and he carries
his produce to town in a basket strap
ped on his back. and he is as happy
as a king-happier than many kings,
am sure.
Little pale Susie is not half so pale as
she was before; and she. too. had the
chance given to her to help"
She has free range in my flower gar
cen, and makes up the daintiest "but.
ton-hole bouquets" with which she
fills her small basket every morning
for Jack to take with him. He never
finds the least difficulty In disposing
of them all. and proud little lass she
is when he drops the pennies into her
hands at night.
The mother, we think. Is growing
strong and well again, happy in her
boys thoughtful care and CHEEKY, light
hearted ways.
He is not yet 13 years old, but his
mother calls him the head OF the house,
and he truly deserves the title.
Brave little man. God bless him.
