The Rose Jars Scent

Just a subtle breath Of roses, just the
faintest Whit Of rose leaves,
In the mistiness of twilight stealing
softly through the room
From the jar of olden china that has
held for years the sweetness
OF dead and vanished summer and its
delicate perfume.
Oh, the wings of fancy filter and the
thoughts go TRAVELLING backward
With a mingled pain and pleasure to
the days of long ago,
When the rosery was tended by maiden
fair and holy
Whom you served, as Jacob Laban, for
a flaming Jacqueminot.
You remember her first token was a pale
rose and white one,
And you bowed as to some seraph as
you took it from her grace.
Truth the rose was cold, though lovely,
but it's frost was some atoned for
BY the warmth of all the blush in the
half-averted face.
Her next token was a pink rose-some-
thing more than you had hoped for,
Something less than Love demanded
for his goblets shining brim--
Then you kissed the ladys fingers and
you vowed yourself to patience
AS you kissed the lady's fingers that
were very white and slim.

made up my mind to give them a trial.
Il am very thankful to be able to
say that they cured me completely
and think they are the best medicine

and women are the only material used
in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills.
One such testimony is worth more
than thousand unsupported claims

The Mdn=EdtinQ Clam

Sailors are proverbially fine romano
ers. One who recently returned from
voyage in the South Pacific tells
this story of narrow escape from
death when caught in a living trap on
one of the little islands there.
1.-THE ship,'' he said, had stopped at
the island for water, and I was walk
ing along the beach at low tide, look
ing for shells and other sea curiosi-
ties. 1 reached a rock which at high
tide was under water and started to
climb around it, without thought of
danger and without paying much at
tention to the surroundings. AS ]
turned the corner of the rock l felt
my foot slip on something soft; there
was snap, and the next instant
discovered that I had careless]y walk
ed into one of the great mollusks or
sea clans, which are to be found at
low tide along the coasts of those
islands.
These clans are over three feet in
diameter, and the muscles which hold
their great shells together are like
steel springs. When l stepped into
the open clam the two shells shut
up with snap, imprisoning me as in
a wise. The edges of the shell caught
me above the knees, and at first l
thought l would faint from the pain.
Then I tried to push the shells open.
I might as we'll have tried to pry open

That twas more than rose she gave

On, the rose Of ruby color that is like

Then you plucked the scarlet blossom of
her lips, that love had opened
Oh, the double petaled flower that her
love had blown apart!
Oh, the fragrance Of the rose JAR with
its dead and buried treasure!
How it floats upon the stiffness of the

Till you seem to touch her fingers-till
you almost seem to see her
Coming toward you from the mystery,
the silence and the gloom!
Oh, the joys that, like the roses. bios

message tender, coming

1t with uncomplimentary remarks.
The third time it was less fortunate.
Fletcher was standing on the rear
platform of a Broadway car when q
bowling blast of wind made straight
at him and sent his own hat in COM
pany with two others, careening down
the street. A small boy gave chase
to the fugitive headgear. Two of the
hats got the start of him and were
sent whirling into the chaotic depths
Of a vacant lot; the third lodged in an
angle of board fence. The boy pick
ed it up and ran after the car. A
man who stood damned against the
railing reached out and took the hat.
He hauled it in bottom side up, and in
so doing read the New Years resolu-
ton.
"By George!" he said, zone of you

The shabby man left the car at the
next crossing Fletcher watched him
go with a kind of despair. He had
paid S. for the hat and it's loss under
such humiliating circumstances af-
flicted him sorely. Still, he had de-
MED it once, thus making reclamation
impossible.
Fletcher bought second derby ex.
actly like the first. He hoped thereby
to deceive his wife and prevent her
discovering the exchange, but she
noticed the absence of the resolution,
and by degrees wormed the whole
story out of him. Then was when she
called him coward, but Fletcher

way out of the difficulty with honor to
himself and his sex.-New York

Forest Regeneration.


The object OF forestry is to utilize
to the fullest possible extent the prod
uct of forest land, and at the same
time to maintain the conditions which
render forests beneficial, says re-
port of the Rhode Island station.
Utilizing the timber is as much a part
OF forest management as is inducing
the growth of trees and protecting
them during their growth. The i'm
portant consideration of how to re-
place the trees when cut is known as
forest regeneration. Two methods are
available, the artificial and the natur-
al. Artificial regeneration may be by
means Of seeds sOwn and covered by
hand or by means Of planting trees.
Both these methods are too expensive
to be used except where no others
will succeed. Manifestly on the open
prairies they are the only methods
available when forests are to be start.
ed on land where no trees now grow.
Natural regeneration is the more CON-
mon method, and the one more practi-
cable under normal forest conditions.
IL uldy U0 w uCduS VI SuOOLS or ny
means of seeds. The former utilizes
the vigorous shoots which spring up
when most brcad-leaved trees are cut.
The resulting growth is known in for
est literature as coppice. The method
cannot be used with conifers, and not
all broad-leaved trees can be depended
upon to send up satisfactory shoots.
Such shoots make more rapid
growth in their earlier years than
Seeding trees, but they generally at
tain their best development within
thirty years and are not suitable for
the production of large, long-lived
trees. Coppice growth, therefore, is
adapted only to short rotations and
the production Of such classes of tim
Der as basket material, irewood,
fence posts, telegraph poles, hop
poles, etc. In the regeneration of for
ests by seeds nature is again ready to
help, for she contrives many ways in
which seeds are scattered that they
may find places to grow. The wind is
ever ready to carry them, and natur-
ally the trees which become most
widely scattered are those bearing
light seeds with some kind Of append
age enabling them to be easily carried
by the wind.
