Diamonds in the Rough.

There are many people who think that
much Of what is real culture and refine.
ment is merely affectation. They believe
that diamond in the rough is the only
genuine diamond. II man is sincere,
they argue, il he possesses manly quail
ties, and Is loyal to truth, no matter how
uucouth and coarse he may be outwardly,
he will be respected and will be success
full.
This argument is good only to limited
extent. What is true OF an uncut gem Is
also true Of a human diamond in the
rough. No matter how intrinsically val
liable they may be, no one would think of
wearing uncut diamonds. A man might
have million dollars worth OF such gems !;
yet, IL he refused to have them cut and pol
lshed, no one would appreciate them.
The Impractical eye would not be able to
distinguish them from common pebbles.
They are valuable only in proportion to
the degree of brilliancy and beauty which
the diamond cutter eau call out of them.
So, a man may be possessed of many adj
covering them with a rough, uncouth, ex
their intrinsic value. They will be dis
covered only by keen observers, or expert
character readers. What cutting and pol
lsh1ng do for crystaiiZed carbon, educa-
tion and refined social intercourse do for
the human diamond in the rough. The
grace of line culture, charming person.
atty and an exquisite manner enchance
itsvalue thousand fold.-Suceess.

The dahlia has become popular
among English gardeners. In the wild
plant the flowers are single, with dull
ray and yellow disk. The varieties of
the cultivated forms are almost end
less.
The original was discovered in Next
CO by Vincent Cervantes about 1874
and was first brought to the botanic
gardens of Madrid, and the same year
it was introduced into England by the
then Marchioness of Butte. The plant
became extinct in Britain. 1t was
again brought there in 1904. and in
that year is found the earliest men
ton of the dahlia. named from Andrew
Dahl, a Swedish botanist and pupil of
Linn@us.
In Mexico the tubers are cultivated
as food on account of the quantity of
inulin they contain, but in Europe,
though many times tried, they never
became popular.

Churches as Places. of refuge In Wa,

Our ancestors transacted good deal
Of business of one kind or another in
and about their churches. To begin
with, the churches of old England in
turbulent times were regarded as
places of safe custody for public and
private property. In the border land
Of England and Scotland the idea was
carried out still more completely, and
churches, or at least their towers, be-
came regular fortresses and not in
frequently were objects of offense and
defense. We may note in rural Eng
land that in the case of ancient church
es the towers are often not merely dis
proportionate in size to the rest of the
church, but are carefully and strongly
built, evidently with an object.
Even in peaceful Surrey and Sussex
the belfries are veritable strong rooms
with barred windows and massive
doors and often contain a massive
treasure chest. Hitler, at the first
alarm, money and valuables were hur-
ried, for beyond the security of thick
walls and bars and bolts there was an
ngis of sanctity which in supersti-
tious age protected the building from
the most ruthless of foes. The fortress
like construction of many of the bor-
der land churches is an interesting
study OF quarians.-London Stand

The evolution of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is
but a step, as it were. But there are
no people who are oftener more hui
morously accused OF altering their
names than the Irish. Thus Crehan
has become Rehan; Carroll, Karl; Dill
lon, Dyllyn; Diver Devere and Devyr;
McCarty, Macartee and Makart; Stat
terry, Slater and Satterlee; O'Brien,
Obrion and Breen; McGinness, GUM
ness and Innes; Reilly, Relyea; Duffy,
Dufay; McGuffin. Magoftin; Quinn,
Queen; Fogarty, Fougert; Haggerty.
Haggart; Sully, Soule. The English
singer, Braham. merely dropped a let
