Queer Opinions About the Green
ROse.-NOt long since the statement
was i'm the papers that there was no
such a thing as a green Rose, that the
reports of one were simply lies.
That's all that the writer knew about
it. 1t is not commonly offered by
florists, because it has little value, but
it can be purchased from a dozen
American florists. Again, a reporter
stated that ''in Philadelphia no bou-
quet was considered complete with
out border of the beautiful and deli
cate Green Rose, lovely and curious
flower that would soon be the rage
everywhere" What an Imagination
that reporter had, or else peculiar
taste Philadelphians havh The
Green Rose is great blOomer, but
the flowers are scarcely larger than

dull green that would not attract at
tentiOn six feet away. We have
specimen that has not been out of
bloom this summer Everyone makes
fuss over it when it is once pointed
out. because it is such an oddity, but
we have the first visitor to ever spy
out Miss ViridifOra for him or her
self. Another party wants to know
ir a Tea-ROse must be grated on a
Willow to get green flowers. No.
Roses do not grow on Willows. The
Chinese gave us the Green Rose. and
there is no trouble in getting it or
growing it. The trouble is that it
has no beauty.
we had this Rose several years
ago and endorse all that Mrs. La
Nance says of it'd.

The Balky Horse.

most provoking things that any one
can have to try his temper A con-
tributOr to the Rural New Yorker
writes very reasonably and sensibly on
the subject as follows:

horse | find the most provoking l have

so different in disposition that it takes

has been spoiled by poor driver. or

to study the disposition of the horse.

The Cement Floor.

The Southern Agriculturist recon-
mends cement floors for COW stables
There is certainly much good sense
i'm the argument advanced.
OF all the modern improvements in
dairying. and especially in handling
dairy cows, along the first, if not
the most important, may be named the
cement stable floor.
We are all familiar with the looks.
if not the discomforts. certainly we
are with the bad smell of the dirt and
wooden floors of the average stable,
to be found all over the country. How
it has been patched up and filled i'm
until there is no further room for
patching. Here and there are pools
of water, wonderful breeding places
for all kinds of microbes and bacilli.
The man who has the courage and
enterprise to put i'm a cement floor is
the one that good fortune has marked
for her own. He is the kind of man
fortune loves to smile upon, and gen
orally does so. 1t is that kind of
progressive spirit that always con-
quers the worst of bad fortune and
leads on to sure success Of course.
it must be well done. or it had better
dumping in and pounding down. but
to be success, every part of the
job must be done decently and in
order
First you must lay off the floor bv
filling in until the top of the cement.
where the cows stand. is not less than
two feet above the surrounding
ground. so as to furnish good fall
for drainage. The bottom of the stall
must be filled. pounded down
level and firm, say three or more
inches deep. If you are going to work
before winter sets i'm, you must use
Portland cement. for that is the only
kind that will set well i'm cold or damp
weather. Common cement should be
used in summer. when it will have
ample time to dry out. but then it
must be shaded so the sun will not
get i'm on it.
You can work it yourself with one
man to help. First mix the cement
and sharp. clear sand. one of cement
to three of sand, or. if Port
land. five of sand. Mix thoroughly
while dry. Then. taking part at a
time. use plenty of water. and mix
it only is fast as you lay it. making
the bed of to l two inches deep. and
the top of 2 to 1 one inch deep. Have
both mixtures ready so as to lay the
floor that you are working on COM
plete. so that none will have time to
dry out before it is finished. LAYING
wet urOn dry makes a bad joint or
connection. There should be a fall of
two inches to the drop gutter Use
some kind of bedding.

CoIoring a Life.

Imagination plays an import
ant part III the coloring OF q life.
Don't let your imagination run
away with you is a sentence that
has chilled, il not checked, most
Of U.s.. But imagination is really
the master-buitder 81 ones most
satisfactory life structures, and
when it runs away with one,
becomes q dynamo that moves
seemingly immovable things.
What does imagination mean?
Imaging: building a thought
pattern, d mental model, an ideal.
Nothing great was eyer achieved
without enthusiasm, declares
Emerson. Imagination is eli.
thusiasm's vital principle, its in
ward life, it's vitalizing fire.
Millions of careers have proved
the truth that it is the poised,
the patterned. the always aspir-
ing life, the life of the home, the
mandatory, the store, the
school, the studio, all places
where the demands for food,
raiment, spiritual s%ustenance and
nourishmcnt for the finer senses
are met, that it Is most thor
oughly and adequately colored.
All color is caused by yiberatlon.
The higher and stronger the
vibcration the deeper and more
beautiful the color. When heart
and BRAN aud body all vibrate
with high resolves and constant
upward reach and cndeavor, the
lite will glow and shine and
attract to itself all that makes
for health, happiness aud holi

in RENTING his subscription
to the HERALD, a subscriber at
Chunchuia, Ala, under date OF
October End, writes Of the storm
as follows:
"As I heard an old darkey re
mark on Friday last, I'm mighty
glad ] am alive2
sThe storm began here about
g p. N. Wednesday, from the
northeast. by midnight it was
blowing a stiff gale. It woke me
about 4 a. m. Thursday, and as
it was blowing so hard and rain
ing so hard, | kinder felt like /
had slept long enough. SO got up,
"About 6 u. m. Thursday the
wind veered around to the south
east, and then the fun began in
earnest. Just draw q mental pic
ture of the fiercest storm we old
Mississipp'ans (Kemperites) ever
saw for a few minutes, and mag
inc such thing to continue Tor
fonr hours, and you will have a
very faint conception OF what We
saw from 6 to 10 a. m. Thursday.
"The binding rain obscured
the vision, and the bowling wind
made it impossible to hear a can
mon fired one hundred feet away.
l sat IN my hall door and saw
tseven massive oaks uprooted
within one hundred feet of me
and three in less tLan thirty feet
of me, and none of them did |
hear above the general uproar.
The wind was literally full OF
flying limbs, twigs, &C., and the
noise was deafening.
"This is decidedly a lumber
and turpentiue country, aud both
these industries are ruined. Fully
two thirds of the turpentine trees
were blown down, and every dis
tillery heard from purposes going
out Of business Indefinitely.
"The havoc along the NJ. & 0.
from here to Mobiie-18 miles
is simply indescribahle. 1t has
to be seen to be appreciated.
"In addition to tn timber
blown down by the hurricane,
the creeks. Chickasabogan runs
parallel with the railroad most of
tie way from Chronicle to Mo
bile-a distance of 33 miles-and
the water overfowed the track
at some places, and was level
with it at most places, and piled
up logs, trash and all manner of
rubbish on and near the track
where it was not covered with
fallen timber.

ling country now to the stranger
who happens to glance from the
car window in travelling from
