The Rose Bush.

A child sleeps under the rose bush fair;
The buds swell out In the soft May air:
Sweetly II rests and on dream wings flies
To play with the angels in paradise.
And the years glide by.
A maiden stands by the rose bush fair:
The dewy blossoms perfume the air:
She presses her hand to her throbbing
breast
with loves first wonderful rapture blest.
And the years glide by
A mother kneels by the rose bush fair.
Soft sigh the leaves in the autumn air;
SoTrowful thoughts of the past arise,
And tears of anguish bedim her eyes.
And the years glide by
Naked and lone stands the rose bush
fair:
Whirled are its leaves on the wintry air:
Withered and dead they fall to the
ground,
And silently cover a new-made mound
And the y~a"3 glide by.

Three WAYS Of DRESSING Hair.

Some of the New J.ebrides people
do their hair up in bunch on the
top of the head and stain 1t yellow.
while the inhabitants of Ombai island
pass 1t all through tube so as to
make a kind of plume. The Marquesas
chiefs favorite method is to shave all
the head except two patches, one over
each temple. where he cultlvates two
horns of hair. No doubt this is to
render him more a thing Of terror to
his enemies than of admiration to his
friends. His reason for shaving the
rest of the head is to allow more space
for tattooing. as if all the available
skin of the body were not enough.

FRUIT BREEDING A SCIENCE.
Some Notable Triumphs Of the De.
partment Of Agriculture.


Fruit breeders have produced many
marvels, but nothing quite akin to the
unaided performance Of a tree in For
farshire, Scotland, which last yeor
grew apples. and whose branches are
this year reported to be laden with
pears. There are more than 500 diff
ferent standard kinds of apples on the
English market and more than 800
different kinds of pears, but a tree
with an alternating crop of apples and
pears is an unaccountable oddly. New
varieties of fruit are frequently pro-
duced in the laboratories of the Unit
ed states department of agriculture,
where fruit breeding is carried 10 a
scientific perfection. Other expert.
mentors have made wonderful crosses
with peaches and nectarines, and the
plumcot is new fruit obtained by
breeding the Japanese plum and the
common apricot.

Bad One.

Little Girls Definition Not at All a
Bad One.
Margaret is still few months UNI
der years of age. but she is old
enough to be observant and to put
two and two together For good
part of her short life her father has
been away from home. and she has
more familiarity, therefore, with let
tiers and letter writing, probably, than
most little girls. She had never been
permitted to use ink, but had often
watched the older ones writing with
it and using the blotter.
The other day she was writing as
usual with a pencil, or making the
marks on the paper which she calls
writing, when she saw blotter lying
on the desk out of her reach. OF
course she wanted 1t, but she did not
know the name of 1t. She thought
2bout 1t little, and then said, Dad
dy. give me that please"
Give you what?" asked her father.
She pointed fat finger at the blot

Town Children In the Country.
From London come amusing reports
OF the Impressions of poor children
taken to the country for holidays by
philanthropic associations. One little

the country, wrote home that 1t was

flowers amt as nice as the ones on
the hats in Commercial road" The
most picturesque comments are those
that touch on the workings Of nature,
like that of little girl who explained
the phenomenon of the wind blowing
all the time by pointing forehnger
along neighboring ridge and saying:
Don't you see the windmills? That's
what makes the wind"
