THE BEST IRIS.

The real japanese iris may be as
easily grown as the potato, says a
writer in the Garden Magazine. More
over, 1t is perfectly hardy. High, dry
lands do not suit its moisture loving
roots, but good garden soil, enriched
with thoroughly decayed manure, deep.
ly dug in and well watered during May
and June-the blossom months in the
Northeastern United States-wlll pro-
duce flowers OF wonderful size. Do
not select shady place for your irises.
They thrive under full exposure 10 the
SUM- but moisture they must have TO
bloom their best, and sometimes their
roots will penetrate two feet deep TO
get 1t. Naturalized in the water gar
den, where the tall, narrow blade-like
leaves rise in phalanxcs around the
shore, and the stately beauty Of the
flowers is reflected in the mirror below,
they are ideally situated; but lee no
one forego the delight Of growing Jap
anese irises merely because he has
not n pond or stream on his place.
Some exceedingly fine specimens have
been produced in n city backyard.

The Pulpit vitaliIed.

Pulpit power. which for time
seemed to be on the wane. is return
ing. and 1t is largely because the
preaching is less Of literary charac-
ter, less Of finished essays and topical
discussions. semi-secular. 1t is now
more vitalized and energiZed with the
Spirits power. Those who heard some
or our most famous preachers ten years
ago would scarcely believe they were
the same men speaking If heard to-day.
DR.. Gunsaulus, who used to deliver
those polished sermons in Plymouth
Church. Chicago. ten years ago. could
not hold the great audience in the
downtown auditorium which ne ad-
dresses now II he used those old-time
sermons. or better ones OF the same or
der. Something seemed to come into
this fine mans life few years ago
which admonished him that nothing
but the power OF God could make
sermon great and he has been preach
ing great sermons since that day. DR..
Hills used 10 charm literary audience
in Central Music Hall with an essay
which glittered like a newly cut stone
from the hands Of a lapldary. but If re-
ports are true, that is not the kind OF
sermons that DR.. Hills is preiching
now. Indeed. he himself is quoted re-
Gently as saying that oratorical pulpit
flights are the bane of preaching, and
that clergy and laity shared an equal
responsibility In the saving Of souls.
THE preacher" said DR. Hills. must
not treat on topical subjects Sunday
after Sunday. but must preach the gos-
pei OF Jesus Christ. The church is not
the preachers field: it is his force. and
1t is the man who has not crossed the
church's threshold for years upon
whom you have a claim" 1t is that
possibility which makes a preacher 5
work inspiring. but also tremendously
responsible. What Sabbath may be
not have among his hearers a soul that
is hungering and thirsting for the
bread and the water of life? What an
infinite crime to give him a stone. or
quite as bad, handful Of artificial
flowers"

AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT.

/ notice In The Epltomist n plan by
Y. Leah Kettering to retard the growth
Of fruit trees in the spring in order 10
lessen the chances Of injury by late
frosts. The idea seems 10 be n good
one and as we are informed. Is sue
cessful. yet an experiment that can be
conducted by any one would appear to
knock the EottOm out of the theory.
The experiment is this: Through a
window or other opening draw
branch Of pear, peach, plum, cherry
or apple and if there are fruit buds
on the branches so treated, they will
In n few days burst into full bloom,
while the roots Of the trees may be all
the while be in the chill grasp of win
ter. The branches may be cut off the
trees brought indoors and the same re-
suits will follow. This is pretty good
evidence that the warm air and bright
sunshine OF early spring often swell
the buds while the root system Is still
asleep. Reasoning thus some growers
practice spraying peach and plum
trees with whitewash in order that the
tops may absorb as little as possible
OF the suns rays.-J. h. Thomas. in
The Epitomist.

Disloyalty.

When n Christian is at peace with
any sin in his own life. when be is
reconciled to any evil habit, or be-
comes Indifferent to anything in his
own character which renders him un
like Christ. he is disloyal to his Mas
ter. In like manner. when n citizen
Of the Kingdom OF God is at peace
with any sin of society, becomes rec
onciled to any evil habits of the COM
munity or Indifferent to anything that
is inconsistent with the full coming
of Gods Kingdom on earth, he is dis
loyal TO the kingdom.-Josiah Strong,

Be Good For Something.

The highest virtue consists OF more
than merely being good. 1t is being
good for something; and good for some
thing not to ones self alone. but 10
others and to God. That negative.
self-complacent virtue which is only
strict abstention from evil. is OF a
quality far inferior to the virtue which
suppresses evil or helps another to re-
sist it. Virtue, in the old Latin sense,
is synonymous with valor. 1t implies
not only an espousal, but champion.
ship, and. If necessary. a fight. Virtue
is not only being good. but doing good.
and the better we are the more we
ought to do. We believe in these
words Of Il. X. Bowker:
1T is bad for the ignorant and the
vicious to do i'll. 1t Is worse for the
educated and honest to do nothing

OUR CEMENT PRODUCTION.
Statement Issued by the Government
Geological Survey.


Geological Survey.
Washington. ID. C.-The United
States Geological Survey has recently
issued a detailed statement in regard
to the production OF hydraulic cement
in this country for the calendar year
1904. 1t Is preliminary To the annual
report on the production of that article
now in preparation. There are three
varieties of this cement, known as
Portland, natural rock and Puzzolan
or Stag cement The total Of all kinds
was 81 ,6j3. .257 barrels, valued at $685.
031.920. These figures show a decided
falling off in price as compared with
prices for 1908. The production for the
latter year amounted to 90. 299, 40 bar
rels, valued at $31 .931, ,341. In the
production OF 1904 there is n gain OF
1,77611I barrels, but a reduction in the
value Of the cement produced OF So
500, ,421. This Is accounted for by the
improved methods of its manufacture
and increased competition. OF the to-
tai amount of cement produced In the
United States in 1901 26 5O5.SS7 BAR
rels were Portland cement. valued at
S23 335. .119: 1896. .331 barrels were nat
ural cement, worth 50 2.i50. $50. and 30J,-
043 barrels were Stag or Puzzolan ce-
ment, valued at S22G.6JO. The produc-
ton OF Portland cement is recent in
dustry in this country. nearly all used
here a decade ago being of foreign i'm.

REGRETS.

II could write soine gracious lines
That those who mourn might read
Some simple, hopeful words TO cheer
The hearts that grieve and bleed.
II could speak some kindly words
To buoy some sinking soul,
Across whose beaten storm-tossed bark
The waves OF sorrow roll.
II could sing some stirring song
To cheer some fainting heart
Implant a frmer purpose there
To act a nobler part.
II could do some kindly deed
To light a life that's drear,
And bring smile 10 quiv'ring lips,
Or check gathering tear.
And tho owned no gold or lands,
True riches I'd attain;
For If j saved a soul from death,
i had not lived in vain.

late marriage to a man wise enough
to appreciate her gentle. unpretentious
virtues. And many a man who has
always listened to the voice Of duty Is
not In position to marry until well
on in years.
Consider how many Of those who
created romance for others did not
gain romance for themselves until late
in life. This was true Of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning. of Tennyson, Of
Hawthorne. They were 40 when they
married; yet their happiness was so
genuine and so beautiful that it was
renewed artistic inspiration.

ROMANCES THAT BEGIN
LATE IN LIFE.
Belated Love Is Just as Strong as That Which
Thrills in Youth
BY DOROTHY Kenmore.

IN pleasant little poem called ''rou-
jours Amours," Stedman embodies
truth about love which young men
and maidens are apt. in their ego
tism. either to overlook entirely or else
to discount-the fact that love belongs
to al Of life, and not to one stage
only; 1t begins so early that Childhood
has no memory of it's beginning, and
ends so late that age can not antici-
pate the hour Of its close.
All our lives long we love. and the
love which man and maid experience
is but one phase of loves development
in individual lives.
In spite of DR.. Brann and his gloomy
theory that demonstrative Juvenile at
lection is a sign OF weak mindedness
most of US. barking back to our primer
days. feel very tender toward baby
love-making. We read Emmy Lou"
with smile and q sigh admiring Billy
for his small boy gallantry. and en-
joying the throbbing sentiment Of the
shiny valentine which he sent to Emmy
Lou:
Oh. woman. woman. thou vert made
The peace of Adam to invade.
we are impressed ny Tic Dcduty OI
q relationship so pure, so absolutely,
yet unconsciously platonic.
We are usually, however, less toler-
ant of romance which comes unduly
late in life, unless it ia belated full
fillment of some hopeful dream Of
youth, unrealized hitherto for reason
which Is in itself romantic. We are
ready to receive humorously a state
ment like that Of Chauncey Depew,
the beaming bridegroom, that one does
not know what domestic bliss really
Is until he gets by so.
When May weds December we shrug
our shoulders and guard our lips lest
they speak the ungenerous thoughts
that are in our minds. Yet every day
we have before our eyes evidence in
controvertible that some of the sweet
est romances in loves book of history
begin late in life; that passing of
years only makes the true heart truer;
that beauty of soul and mind are as
potent to win love in maturity as SUI
perficial charms are in youth.
How often we see a noble woman
who has spent the larger part of her
life in loving service to her parents
who could not get along without her,
finding romance and second youth in a
