1t is IN interesting thing to know
that 1900 species of plants are
gathered and used for commercial pur-
poses in Europe. OF these, 1870 have
perfume that is pleasing and enter
largely into the manufacture OF scents
and soaps. There are more species
of white flowers gathered than OF any
other color -l124 in all. OF these,
lS7 have an agreeable scent. an ex-
traordinarily large proportion. Next
in order come yellow blossoms, with
95l, seventy-seyen Of them being per-
fumed. Red flowers number S23, of
which eighty-fcnr are scented. The
blue flowers are of 594 varieties,
thirty-fonr of which are perfumed, and
the Violet blossoms are pleasantly

When the flying machine finally

fore-as the Spanish court exclaimed
at Columbus's egg. Each mechanical

surely as the natural wedding out

were 1t not for rust and the melting

of machines that had to succumb to
other more capable machines, just as
we stumble across the bones of the

For some reason the south pole has
never had the attraction for people
that the north pole has. Yet more
remains to be discovered, by far, at
the southern than at the northern end
of things. Perhaps that is it. The
goal has been so nearly reached at the
north, and so great reward will be
his, who makes the final step, that all
are striving to do it. An Englishman
has just given $25, 900 toward Brit
ish Antarctic expedition. and that will
probably give powerful impetus to
the interest in the southern axis of
the earth. Commercially speaking
there is not much to be gained by
these expeditions. But they will con-
tinue while the virility remains in the
northern races; and what they do not
accomplish in practical value they
make ap in picturesqueness.

There was a man who mover made
A blunder In his life,
He loved n girl, but was afraid
II she became his wife
That he or she might rue the day
Thst brought them bliss, and so
lie put tho happiness away
That welded lovers know,
One day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
Tift led to fnmc, but, still afraid,
Drew back and stole away;
He summed the winding paths that led
To distant, unseen ends,
And kept tho rond that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
Al last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way;
In garments that were badly frnycd,
And pnlo and starved he lay;
No weeping friend bent DER him there,
Nor servant, child nor wife;
But victory was his-h he ne'er
Had Numbered IN his life.
