"Is it really SO baG as all that? Well.

II think you might say that you are
sorry for me-" he pleaded, and she
turned back.
II didn't suppose you'd forget and
and drag the law and the Gospel in be-

81 don't understand you, but, Dick,
I am sorry" There were tears in her
voice, and again she held out her hand.

whispered.

She caught her breath sharply and

A Business EpitaDh.

Amusing epitaphs are not difficult
to find if one is seeking them. The
Cheshire Republican cites most SIM
gular one, which may be found on a
monument in eastern Tennessee.
Sacred to the memory of John
Smith, for 20 years senior partner of
the firm of Smith & Jones, now J. J.
Jones & Co."
The names are not really Smith
and Jones, but they will answer for
the purpose of the story.T met Jones
later" says the narrator, "and he gave
me frank explanation of the inssrip-
ton.
Smith was a bachelor without rel-
atives,'' he said, "but he knew q ire.
mendous lot of country people, and ii
any of them happened to see his grave,
they might think that the old house
had closed up and gone out of bust
ness. So I thought it no more than
right to let them know that the firm
was still alive"

ANALYSIS OF THE DAISY.
In the Larger Flowers the ComposiTs
InfiOrescence Attains Its
Greatest Beauty.

The yellow, buttonlike disk is COM
posed OF a myriad of small perfect
flowers, with yellow five cleft tubulhr
corolla, and ring of fused stamens SUE
rounding the pistil. Of calyx we find
hardly a trace; the close packing Of
the flowers leaves no room for it, and
renders 1t unnecessary as protective
structure, says London knowledge.
In the cOmpositae the caIyx is usually
reduced to few hairs, which often
play a valuable part in aiding seed
dispersal, as we shall see, by growing
as the fruit ripens into a feathery
plume or pappus, which acts as a
parachute. The marginal or ray flow
ers OF our daisy have no stamens-
are female, and their corolla is white.
and greatly expanded in an outward
direction-the only direction in which
there is room for expansion.
These ray flowers, in fact, are large
ly useful in advertising the otherwise
inconspicuous flower head Similar
devices we have already noted in the
wild Guelder rose, and we may COM
pare with these such flower heads AS
those of the little cornell (Cornus
suecica) and the astrantias, in which
the flowers are surrounded by a ring
OF colOred leaves, which serve the same
purpose. Finally, our daisy head Is
surrounded by a close fitting double
ring of small leaves, the involucre,
which incloses the whole in bud, and
plays the part that calyx usually
plays in single flower.
1t is perhaps among some of the
larger members of the daisy group
that the composite inforescence at
ton. Examine such a flower form az
the ox-eye daisy First we have the
close tapping scales of the involucre
securely inclosing the whole, and pro-
tecting it whep in bud. Then the
splendid ring Of ray flowers, whose OBJ
Ject is to render the inf1orescence more
conspicuous. Thus we find these
enormously expanded corollas often
assuming tint other than that of the
main mass of flowers-white when the
disk is yellow, as in the OK eye; in
other species blue or purple or yellow,
accompanying yellow or grayish disk
These ray florets have sacrificed
their perfection as flowers for the pur-
poses of advertisement, and are usual
ly devoid Of stamens, or sometimes
devoid Of both stamens and pistil
Finally, We have the dense mass of
disk fiorets. all perfect, producing
quantity of minute fruits. AS for the
fruit of the corymbiferae, large
number rely on wind carriage, and
the calyx sesments take the form of
hairs, which grow into more or less
perfect parachute to aid in transport
ing the comparatively large fruit to
pastures new.

A Change of Heart.

The operator in a telegraph Office
has many chances for the observation
Of varying phases of human nature if
he chooses to make the best of them.
A young woman stepped to the desk,
asked in a trembling voice for tele-
graph blanks. She wrote upon one,
tore it in halves, wrote second, which
she treated in the same way, and at
last third. This last she handed to
the operator with a feverisk request
that he would hurry it.
This he did, and after she had gone
he read the other two for his own
amusement.
The first was, Cali Is over. I never
wish to see you again"
The second read, do not write or
try to see me at present.
The third was, Come at once. Can
you take next train? Please answer"

IN THE ORCHARD.

Oh! here beneath the roof Of green,
throw me down and dream again
The golden dreams of what has been
And future harvests yet to gain!
The wheat waves in the field close by,
An apple, ripened ere it's time,
Drops from the tree, the suns great eye
Seeks through the leaves, and, as
rhyme,
The birds weave to and fro and sing
The very songs ] would declare
And now and then the branches swing
Stirred gently by a wandering air.
The binders, clicking in the wheat,
The whistle of a passing train,
The distant noises of the street,
Are to my song a 10 wrefrain.
To-day! To-day I rest at ease
And pick the golden fruits that grow
In solitude on twigs of peace
The fruits that only dreamers know.
