THE NEW STYLE OF WR1rING.-Since vertical writing has been adopted in schools it has been considered necessary by some to use very. stiff and hard pen, and nearly all the pen makers recommend pens of this heavy and unyielding descrip- Jion. It is an error, however, to make them too stiff, for sufficient action and fexibility are the essential qualities of a perfect pen. It is we'll known that many persons have tendency to grip the hold CT and press too hard with the pen. This habit can only be overcome by using one made with some degree of fexibility and fineness of point, which compels light ness of touch, and helps toward grace ful and gliding motion. Pens made prop erly will be found to write smoothly, and are suitable either for the vertical or or dinary slanting writing. The Spencerian vertical pens No. 37 carry out these ideas and possess this smoothness of action and well tempered firmness, together with the well-known superiority in finish of the Spencerian pens. Samples will be sent free of charge to our readers, if this item is cut out and sent with name and address to the Spencerian Pen Co.,, 45O Broome-st., New York City.

From the New York Tribune.] BOBBY BOILED IT DOWN.

Bobby has just reached English com- man, who brides himself on his concise style. Bobby came home from school the other day in high glee because his teacher had praised his com position on George Washington. He showed the production to his father with pride, but was somewhat crestfallen at his parents criticism "Too many words, my son. Too many words altogether. Why can't your teachers instruct you how to express your ideas tersely? Now just sit down at that table, take this pencil, cut out every word you can spare without leaving out a single idea, and if your result is better than this composition which your teacher praises, I'll give you half dollar" The lad took the pencil and fell to work, while his father read the paper. After a long time Bobby brought the heavily scored manuscript to him, saying: "It was hard work to keep in something on every one of the things Washington is famous for, dad, but guess I did it. This is how the result read :-
 "George Washington became the father of his country because he had no little
 boy of his own to whip for cutting down cherry trees, and he is remarkable among American statesmen because he would
 not tell lie."
 | Mamma awarded the half-dollar to Bobby.

Oldest Rose Tree In the World.

In the crypt of the cathedral of Hill desheim grows a wild rose tree, said to be LOCO years old, whereas it is the root only, not the stem, which is eight centuries old, according to accurate information derived from original doc uments. A legend connects this rose tree with a VOW made by the founder of the cathedral, Ludwig the Pious, and document of the eleventh centu- ry states that when Bishop Hezilo re- built the cathedral, which had been burned down, he inclosed the roots of the rose tree within a vault which still exists, raised upon this vault the crypt and spread out the branches of the rose tree upon the walls. The stem was in 1S49 261a feet high, and the branches covered about 32 feet of the external crypt wall. This is said to be the oldest rose tree in the world

ThR Irish LanYuace,

It sounds rrofane to ask whether our ancient tongue is worth preserving. Yes, it is, even as spoken language, and so we'll worth preserving that if the effort be not made, and, with Gods blessing, made successfully, we should be held accountable for casting from us what is, in the natural order, apart from the national spirit the noblest in- heritance of our race.
 It is the misfortune of many good Irishmen to know nothing of the Irish language, however anxious about it, and, through an untoward history, 1t is the way with many others to care but little for it's fate, because the in- vader has branded it as an inferior tongue But it never happened that any one competent to form an opinion who knew Irish did not esteem it as a noble vehicle of human thought and feeling.

Jessie M. Good in How to Grow Flowers) VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT ASSO-
 CAPTIONS.
Begun May 4th.

About five years ago the company ordered all the old boxes, barrels and rubbish cleared away from around the factory and all it's departments, and sow ed all the ground in grass and planted shrubbery, trees and flowers. Finally it was decided to employ scientific help, and MT. John Olmestead, of the well-known firm of landscape gardeners, was in- duced to come to lay out the factory grounds and the yards of some cottages owned by officers of the company.
 MT. Patterson says By the following year such a change had been wrought that we thought it would be good thing if all the people of 'Slidertown' (now and cheaply this work could be done. MT. Olmslead showed us by precept and ex- ample how to do it." An improvement association was formed, and MT. Patter- son secured an exceptionally fine stere- opticon and showed by practical illustra- tion the right and wrong way of planting 8 lawn. Photographs were secured from Miss Gould, MT. Olmsteap, the Wander bilt estate, and from the best home and foreign sources, made into slides until now the company owns about 2, 800 color ed views, many of them as beautiful as water-colored paintings. In addition to these beautiful views are others intended as object lessons, slides in plain lettering which set forth the first principles of landscape gardening, and so thoroughly drilled are old and young in these princi- pies that MT. Patterson tells us even very young children in South Park can tell you that the first principle is, Preserve open lawn centers " the second, "Plant in masses, not isolated; :" the third, "Avoid straight lines.
 Then the audiences are shown, by the use of slides, the style of planting called nursery style, where trees and shrubbery are dotted evenly all over the ground then the contrast is shown where the flowers and shrubbery is massed along the sides in curving lines, leaving clear space in center of lawn for play, work, and grass. ---s===-.-----------=--
 Other slides illustrate the way to set young plants in the ground, when too shallow, too deep, when the roots are all knotted, and then plant is shown which is set in the ground just right. Slides are made of quotations from great writers which help to impress certain rules on the mind of the reader, such as "The ideal garden is one where there is something in bloom from the Snowdrop of earliest Spring to the Chrysanthemum in the latest Autumn. .'-LaMance. "Never cut tree. The nurseryman must trim and prune to make trunk but when once set in our lawns, the beauty of tree lies in the grace of it's extended limbs and tops. Chop off the tail of your dog, if you must, and shear his ears, if you will, !, but never cut tree. "A. A. Thomas. Such quotations as these, and many others, are freely used and have their effect.

Poetry, Painting and Furniture.
 Rossetti insisted on everybody paint Ing. Books, he said, were mo use to a painter except to prop up models upon in difficult positions, and then they might be very useful" ''If any man has any poetry in him." was another saying of Rossetti's, 'he should paint, for it has all been said and written, and they have scarcely begun to paint it," a saying, by the way, which may be found also in the third volume of Modern Painters" Morris obeyed the master and took to painting. Even when Morris took to making furniture that craft was at first regarded under Ressattis influence as merely means of providing spaces for pictorial deco ration. Morris built some enormous chairs, "such as Barbarossa might have sat in,' said Rossetti, who pro- ceeded to paint their backs with sub- jects from Morris poems.--London News.
