tributor to all the leading periodicals
which make a speciality OF Horticulture.
This book is a thoroughly practical
trestise devoted mainly to the care and
culture Of the commoner kinds of
flowers. The author tells what kinds
OF plants to choose, how to care for
them, all about coil, watering, light,
temperature, and how to guard against
injury by insects of various kinds.
There are chapters als0 on flowers for
the lawn, how TO arrange them to the
the best advantage, the laying out Of
the lawn, a chapter on table dec0ra
ration, and, in fact such information as
any person who cares for flo ers
should have at hand for direction and
reference. While the subject is quite
thoroughly covered, the language used
is plain, simple and free from any tech

Christian Life Column,
The SILENT YEARS.

A Master, followed by a band
OF twelve disciples through the land,
Teaching, as never man had taught,
OF truths beyond our human thought;
A wonder worker, at whose word
The blind eyes saw, the deaf ears
heard,
And Death itself, it's long reign DER,
UDIoosed its icy hand Of power;
A King who held 40 earthly throne
Yet claimed all nations IS ais own,
A Victim lifted up on high
That all the world might see him die
A risen Saviour, by the sea
Walking with men In Galllee-
Thus to our eyes the Lord appears
Throughout the three mysterious
Which sum the ministry and death
o. JESUS Christ Of Nazareth.
Yet there were other years than these
A child beneath the olive trees,
A lad who learned and who Obeyed,
A worker in a humble trade,
A man amid the life Of men,
Who knew its drudgery, it's pain,
It's homely JOYS, its heavy fears,
For thirty silent, loving years.
Al here as deep q message lies
As IN the Cross and sacrifice,
And here the Son Of GJd is shown
The Son of Man and claims his own.
Yea, even as thirty is to three,
SO, il our eyes had power to see,
Not only by the church's door
Christ stands, but oftener IN b roar
OF busy marts, by plane and loom,
Within the factOry's crowded room,
Where lsborers drudge with arm and
tool,
On wharf and ship, 10 shop and school,
Aud claims each worker by this sign,
IT. too, have Uoiled; thy toll is mine
I, too, have lived thy life OF are
And borne the burdens thou dost bear
Not from my cross I call to thee,
But from thy side-come, Learn OF
mel
o Son OF Man! grant ia to see
Thy full, divine hum 8nigy
We exile thee IN shrines and CTeeds
Far from tie many and their needs,
Forgetting that thy chosen spot
Was JUST the common human lot;
Yet still thou CONTEST back again
To stand among thy brother men,
And still, IL we would serve thee Oest,
Love to thy brethren is thy test:
Yea, on thy cross we look to see
Thy hands, nailed pierced so cruelty,
And fad them still the hand tina
drove
The plane, and bless2d in holy love
The househlld meaI-she hands that

Divine, yet human, hold for Us
All help for human life below,
All hope for that to which We GO.

HELE KELLER

When we see boys end girls being
urged to study and learn, to make the
most of their time at school or college,
We think OF that wonderful girl, Helen
Kelle. She can neither ste nor hear,
} ct her desire to learn is 50 great that
she often has to be checked by her
teachers.
What she has accomplished with the
nelp of faithful teachers is simply mar.
velous. Think of a person totally de
void of sight, and yet realizing what
color is; without the least knowledge
Of what ii means to hear a speech, and
yet being taught to talk well and grasp
sJund through her touch
It is said that Helen Keller was a
very unruly when a teacher was 90
tanned for her, and she seemed to be
unable to grasp any meaning at all in
what was taught. But il came to her
suddenly, and from that time her ma.

her accomplishments are not a few.
She is able to distinguish people by

She loves fun and laughter as we'll
as any girl, can en- ~ a joke and make

But there is one thing about her
which to me seems absolutely beauti
full. This is her simplicity and truth
tulness. She learns everything good
and seems able to leave the bad out.
In her conversation there is none of the
so called polite lies; she speaks from
the heart, and that is all truth. How
fresh and delightful must be a talk
with her; what a healthy and fine
brain she has. She lives nearer to ma
lures heart than many hundreds who
