A MISTAKEN PHILOSOPHER.

Charles Maoklin thought he proclaimed
a wonderful philosophy when he said,
Every tub must stand upon its own bot
TOM" Here is the doctrine of greed and
selfshness; besides, the proposition rests
upon q false basis. A tub is of many
parts, and each part is dependent upon
every other part. Otherwise there would
be no tub at all. Moreover the bottom
must be beholden to something foreign to
itself to stand upon, but which is part of
a whole of which the tub is another part.
When man ikens himself to tub in the
sense that the tub stands upon its own
bottom he writes himself down ninny.
The basis of individual existence is CO.
partnership and interdependence. One
can do nothing at all independent of men
tai or physical cooperating agencies. A
tub may stand upon its own bottom. In
fact it has to, and to the extent that it
can stand on its own bottom it is an in
dividual entity, but its own individuality
is contingent upon other individualities,
and were they to disappear the tub would
go into nothingness too.
Standing upon its own bottom is the
twin brother to "I shall paddle nv own
canoe" and in the last analysis is found
the personihcation of viciousness, greed,
avarce and heartlessness in the man who
secretly rejoices that his neighbours store
is burning down and himself killed that he
may secure his customers. Philosopher
Macklin may have found humanity stand
ing ''every tub upon its own bottom" in
his day-.250 years ago-but times, morals
and methods have changed since then,
thanks be to better civilization than the
mind of Macklin could conceive of.

of any kind are very little in demand,
ported plants of all sizes and varieties
appear alike on monument, grave and
statue.
A leading florist who was once COM
missioned to decorate a statue of Lin
coin was kind enough to tell me of the
plan which he followed. AS he was al
lowed $500 for the commission, he could
give full scope to his artistic sense. AT
ter studying both form and color of
the statue, he surmounted it with a
crown of laurel from which heavy
ropes of laurel depended and entwined
the base; and as the color of the statue
was light gray he kept to pink and
white rhododendrons almost entirely
for his color scheme.
Cape Jessamine flower wreaths and
immortelles are frequently used in
connection with the laurel; and one
florist told me of having rented a large
number of palms for the decoration of
a monument He confessed, however,
that they were sadly ineffective, as the
statue stood in the midst of a park
already exuberant with green.
Nowadays, hemlock, juniper and
evergreens are mostly used, and in
many instances members of the post
make their own wreaths and ropes.
These are often extremely handsome,
though l may add sub rosa that very
swell florist said to me with a tremor
in his voice, II am sorry to say to you,
madam, that sometimes they even use
paper flowers. They are certainly eff

with perhaps a sprig of ivy, and live
or die according to whether nature
deals kindly with them or no.
Where florists are commissioned to
decorate either grave or statue, wreaths
and crowns are chosen as the most
appropriate symbols Wreaths are
made according to the position which
they are to occupy. If wreath is to
be laid on a grave, fiat wire frame
is used, which is first filed with moss.
Into this dampened moss, ferns are en-
bedded, and over it all trails the
smilax, which forms the background
for flowers. The green can be kept
fresh a long time, if properly watered,
but -here seems to be no way of pre-
serving the flowers, as they all have
to be wired into position. By the way,
it seems that the decree of fashion in
flowers for funerals is no less rigorous
than in mundane affairs. 1t is no
longer correct to confine funeral offer
ings to white flowers. Where the de-
ceased is under 20 years of age, the
flowers may be all of pink, while
clumps of pink amidst large clusters of
