Eight Different varities of Roses Grown

San Francisco has an immense rose
bush, which looks like an enormous
bouquet. AT tho top ON one side hang
clusters Of pure white roses. In the
middle at the top are red roses. bloom
ing in profusion. Pink roses hang in
gay garlands at the top on the Other
side. All over the bush are branches OF
roses Of other lines and colors. The del.

Planter. two varieties of Homer roses,
the Pauline Lebeau, the Black Prince,
the Castilian and the white Lamarque
lend variety and attest by their prolific
blooms to the virility of the stock upon
which they were grated, says the San
Francisco Call.
The owner of this rose bouquet is II.
l.. Barker, who is connected with the
state bureau of mining. Once there
were 13 distinct varieties of roses ON the
bush. but the tea roses grated on proved
to be short lived, and only the harder
varieties have survived. There are
enough now, eight, to make the bush
curiosity. Mr.. Barker explanation is
that he likes to experiment with plants
and this rosebush is about 10 years
old. Branch after branch has been
grated on. The original stock is the
June or cabbage rose. The width at the
top is not less than % feet, and the
height equals the width. There are
many stocks or trunks springing from
the roots. Carbon is plentifully supplied
to intensity the color of the blossoms.

Comment by Rev. S. IL. Doyle.

~on,o For the Week Beginning Sept. O.
Comment by Rev. S. IL. Doyle.
Toprc.-Getting the most out Of the Bible
| Deut. vi, 10.
A high valuation is to be placed upon
| Gods commands, as recorded in His
word. the Bible. The Bible is not a
merely human book. In writing it holy
men wrote as they were moved by the
Holy Ghost. 1t was given by divine in
spiration. and is Gods word. 1t is of
nriceless value to man. Without it we
would have no sure knowledge of God,
| suoh as could lead to our reconciliation
with Him. Taking into consideration
its author and its character, we can
easily see the importance of making the
best use of the Bible and of getting out
of 1t the most that we can. 1t is the
Christians compass and chart on the
SEQ of life between time and eternity.
How can we get all ont of it we can?
There is no new method, no short cut to
beneficial knowledge of the Scriptures,
not even since the days of Moses, who
laid down the same rules that apply to-
day.
/. Study the Scriptures. The only
way to know the Scriptures practically
ia to study them-read them and think
unon them. We should do this regularly
and systematically. We should strive
to get a grasp of the entire Bible, OF
each set of books and of each individual
book. Haphazard, spasmodic reading
will not give us good working knowl-
edge of the Bible.
3. Teach the Bible. Moses command
ed the parents to teach it to the chill
dren. 1t should still be taught not only
in the Sabbath school, but also in the
home. Home teaching is too often neg
lected. The Sabbath school has too
often taken the place of the home in
this respect. This should not be. Chris
tan parents should not leave the edu-
cation of their children in Gods word
TO others The Bible should also be
Taught as text book in our colleges
and public schools.
g. Think Of the Bible. The truths
taught in Gods word should be medl-
tated upon. To read lightly and care
lessly is not sufficient. We must medi-
tate upon what we read until it becomes
q very part Of u.s. Better few verses
day with much thought than larger por-
tions with no thought or meditation up
ON them.
4. Converse about the Bible. Conver-
sation with others about the truths OF
Gods word is one of the best ways of
enriching our minds in these eternal
truths.
8. Live by the Bible. 1t should be
the rule Of our lives. If we put its
truths into practice, then and there
only will we get the most out of it. To
have Gods word in the mind and heart
is not enough. 1t must also be in the
life

Endsaxorers at tho Circus.

Some Colorado Springs Endeavorers
went to the circus the other day. But
they took the gospel with them and left
the circus a purer, sweeter place after
they had departed. Seeing that no effort
was being made for the spiritual well
fare Of the men connected with the cir
Gus, some 200 Endeavorers gathered
with a gospel wagon at the circus
grounds after the close of the church
services one Sunday. The meeting,
which was large and spiritual, resulted
in some 30 persons expressing the desire
to lead the better life. All the New
Testaments in town were purchased by
the Endeavorers the next morning and
distributed among the men, who received
them gladly.

Big Stores Collect the Names of Those
Who Should BE Watched.
1t will doubtless be astonishing to
those who have not studied the question
to learn that kleptomania has grown SO
much during the last few years that
dry goods merchants have, so to speak,
formed cooperative union of self pro-
lection against the evil. Shoplifters are
easily dealt with and disposed of, as
they are generally Of the class who can
be punished to the full extent of the
law, but the kleptomaniao is usually q

possessed Of ample means, which per-
NIT Of the qualification of her most ex-
.ravagant needs
Strange as the assertion may seem, it
is so true and has assumed such proper
tons that in the majority of the stores
there is book kept in the private office
of the firm in which are written the
names of the women who are known to
be thus afflicted, and when they are
caught in the act bill for the goods
stolen is sent to the husband, father or
the person who has made himself re-
sponsible for the things taken. 1t was
found necessary to do this after two or
three arrests had been made and the
culrit found, upon investigation, to be-
long to some we'll known family. 1t was
not only necessary for the protection of
the merchants against loss by the theft.
but it was also more imperative from
the fact that these exposures endangered
his business. After such an arrest and
the consequent publicity the family of
the accused were very loath to trade at
that particular store, and the with
drawal of such patronage meant loss OF
thousands of dollars to the proprietor.
This explanation was given me by the
superintendent Of one Of the largest de-
partment stores, where, after thorough
canvassing Of the principal retail stores
in the city, found that it was no mere
gossip as to the existence OF this book,
and the fact that nine out of ten en-
ployed women detectives, not only for
the conviction of shoplifters and pick
pockets, but to watch the more wealthy
offenders who were afflicted with what
is called nervous disease in the medi-
cal books-kleptomania These women
are Obliged to be very clever, bright and
intelligent, as they must learn to know
these kleptomaniacs by sight and to dis
criminate between the professional and
the afflicted if they detect a stranger in
