Let us think, calmly and seriously OF

that we will act as He acted, live as

Him. We must remember that

tributor to all the leading periodicals
which make a speciality of Horticulture.
This book is a thoroughly practical
treatise 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 soil, watering, light,
temperature, and how to guard against
injury by insects of various kinds.
There are chapters also on flowers for
the lawn, how to arrange them to the
the best advantage, the laying out of
the lawn, a chapter on table decora
ration, and, in fact such information as
any person who cares for flowers
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
nicalities, and cannot fail to be most
interesting and instructive. The book
contains IFS pages.
Another book, BOTANY The

terry firm. Doulton's, formerly Pinder.
Bourne & Co. Finders son tells the fol-
lowing story of how Rudyard received
his rather peculiar name:
Zone day my mother gave a picnic
to the young people of the neighborhood
at a pretty little English lake between
the villages of Rudyard and Rushton,
not far from Burslem. John Kipling
went. of course. and there he met a
pretty English girl, Mary Mcdonald,
the daughter of a Methodist minister at
Endon. Kipling fell in love with her
at once. They met very often at my
mothers house. and it grew into a love
affair on both sides. Then John Kipling
went to the art school in Kensington
and was afterward sent out to direct
the art schools of the Madras Presidency
in India. When he went to India. he
took pretty Mary Mcdonald along as
his wife.
''In the fullness of time a son was
born to the Kiplings in Bombay. Their
first meeting at Rudyard lake must
have been the pretty bit of sentiment
of their lives. for when they named the
Sol they took for him the name of the
little lake on the banks of which they
first saw one another.
Young Rudyard was the apple Of his
fathers eye. and as he matured in years
he soon showed that he had unusual
ability and aptitude for learning and
scorned all p%laythings that were COM
monplace toys. but any sort of instruct
i've puzzle or game that required
thought and intelligence appealed to
him at once. and with these he found
endless pleasure and pastime. His
mother was his early instructor. He
proved an apt pupil and in a very short
space Of time accomplished reading
and writing. and when this time came
to pass the difficulty was to persuade
him to play and do as other boys. Books
were his one pleasure. No matter how
erudite the work might be. Rudyard
attacked it and absorbed its contents
in fact. he was quite beyond his years
in intellect. He had a will of his own.
as II boy, and at times asserted it in
spite of the remonstrances Of his par
ents. When he was about 8 or 8 years
of age he was taken over to England
and left in charge of a certain elderly
relative. Here he passed some of the
most miserable and uninteresting years
of his youth Eventually the time came
when Rudyard was old enough to be
sen to school and was accordingly
placed as a boarder in the we'll known

The mystery of the disappearance Of

two years ago, while bound from
Baltimore to Savannah, has been
solved by an examination of the vessel

undergoing repairs. Ten tons of phos-

located between the inner ceiling and
the outward %planking, where it had
worked two years ago while the vessel
was storm-tossed at sea. lit was neces

The popularity of newspaper and its standing in a community are what count from an adver- tising point of view.
