lily stock improves. Our climate in
most sections of the country is too dry
for bulbs such as the hyacinth and lily
to reach their best development, so
stock must be imported from time to
time. In the case of the lily the bulbs are
obtained new every year. They are
brought from Bermuda, in whose ge-
NAL, moist climate this stately, SPLEEN
did blossom attains a perfection un-
known elsewhere.
Lily farming is a leading industry in
the Bermuda islands. There is reason
to believe the bulb will flourish in our
own southeastern states, and a begin
ming of it's cultivation for the floral
market is now making at various
points. The lily culture in Bermuda is
largely in the hands of the negro wom-
en- and children. A field is sometimes
as large as six acres in extent When
it is in full bloom, it glistens like snow,
and the shining faces of the negroes,
dotted over this background make
striking picture in black and white.
The negroes that raise the lilies wear
single garment of coffee sacking or
burlap and are paid only few cents a
day. The bulb blooms from the latter
part of February till Easter, and at
that season the atmosphere of the Ber-
mudas is vibrant with perfume like
doors from the isles of the blessed.
The aesthetic element in lily culture
lis, however, swallowed up in the mar
ket garden element. At least half a
billion lily bulbs are shipped away from
Bermuda each season. Three millions
come to the United States, largely TO
New York and Philadelphia, where
there are many greenhouses built espe-
cially for the care of the bulbs from
the time they are received in July and
August till they pass in the glory of
full flower into churches and homes at
Easter time. Bermuda lily bulbs reach
great size, some of them being u inches
around. A bulb of this measure will
produce 25 lilies, selling at from %
cents to SO apiece. The larger the bulb
the more blossoms it yields, and the
older the bulb the larger it grows, up to
perhaps the age of 4 or 5 years. when
it attains perfection. Bulbs are not
shipped out of Bermuda till they are at
least 2 years old. The average sized
bulb gives six flowers.
When the bulbs first arrive in the
States from the islands, they are put
into pots large enough to sprout them
in and are kept thus in a shady place
for two months. BY that time they
have taken root and are ready to trans
plant into the larger pots in which they
are to remain till they bloom. They
are put into greenhouses in November

through the yards and yards of inser-
ton with which both skirt and waist
are covered. This insertion is in the
fashionable butterfly design, and the
bands are so arranged that they come
together in long pointed herringbone
effect in front The broad hounce on
the bottom of the skirt is laid in fine
tucks, and the same effect is carried
out in the bertha. The sleeves are
tucked, but on the bias, and the yoke

there might be more mistakes in royal
Identification than there are. In large
families there is usually this difficulty
when a few Christian names have to

Should the Duchess of Cornwall and
York ever come to the English throne

ture history from the great queen reg

The present German empress has to
sign herself Augusta Victoria because
her grandmother-in-law was the EN-
press Augusta and her mother-in-laW

reign of the Emperor Frederick. A few
fresh names would really be boon in
some illustrious houses, enabling the

terms "the rest of the royal family"

FORTITUDE.

If the battle goes against you.
And your foes upon you press,
DO not yield your weapons to them;
Give not voice to your distress
Up again and strike fresh blows;
You may yet come off triumphant,
You may win the li2ht-who knows
Naught you'll gain BY idle weeping
Tears but add to your distress.
If the wicked world has wronged you
At it's hands, then, seek redress.
Bring to your assistance courage,
And the fight again begin,
Knowing industry and valor
In the end will surely win.

of a girl just on the threshold of wom-

Whenever the damsel has new dress
she puts into her album a piece of the
