from it. She says: Our three chill

months old. and owing to our giving

they lost none OF their plumpness

The Rose.

At all times the rose has enjoyed pc
culiar favor as a sacred flower. Mo
hammedan tradition says that when
Saladln captured Jerusalem he refused
to enter the shrine Of the temple which
had been converted into a church by
the Crusaders till the walls had been
thoroughly cleansed and purified with
rosewater. A similar story is told OF
the Church of st. Sophia. at CONSTANT
nople, when transformed from Chris
tan place of worship to a Moham-
medan mosque. The origin OF the rose
according to Moslem tradition. is that
the blood Of the prophet sprang INTO
new life in this glorious crimson How
err To this day when Turk sees a
rose lying on the ground he will raise
It tenderly, kiss it reyerently and de-
post the frail blossom in some place
of safety.

The director Of the census bureau
has made public data showing that
the South is growing as rapidly as
the North. The large Northern cities
are growing faster than those of the
same size South, but the difference is
balanced by the extremely rapid
growth of the small towns and cities
OF the South, and especially by the
high rate of increase in the Southern
rural population.

Statistics of drink are quoted as
showing that the United States drinks
less per capita than any of the other
great countries. This is gratifying,
but as the statistics indicate that an
nual average consumption Of each
male over Is years is something like
seventy gallons, and as there are
many males w.io do not drink at all,
the inference is that there are many
others who are getting more than they
ought to have.
