He couldn't sing and he couldn't play,
He couldn't speak and he couldn't pray.
He'd tried to read, but break right down.
Then sadly grieve smile or frown.
While some with talents ten begun,
He started ont with only one.
"with this" he said. ~ do my best,
And trust the Lord TO do the rest"
His trembling hand and fearful eye
Gave forth world of sympathy;
When all alone with one distressed,
He whispered words that calmed that breast
And little children learned to know,
When grieved and troubled, where to go
He loved the birds. the foa ers, the trees,
And. loving him. his friends loved these.
His homeiy features lost all trace
OF LONELINESS, and in his face
There beamed a kind and tender light
That made surrounding features bright,
When illness came he smiled at fears,
And bade his friends to dry their tears.
He said. "Good. by" and all confess
He made.of lif grand success.

Growing Palms.

In spite of the popular belief to the con-
trary, palms are really easy to grow in the
house. Half the failures to raise them,
and their poor reputation among plant
growers is due to the fact that cheap plants
are bought; no one can prophesy how long
they will live; palm can be tested only
by trying, and it is the well-established
plant that should be bought. The plants
sent out by the florists in packages are not
difficult to get to grow if proper care is
taken.
The Kentias are perhaps the best of all
house-palms, graceful and ornamental,
and they stand many changes of tempera-
ture. Kentia Fosteriana and Kentia
Balmoreana are most serviceable. Not too
warm room and plenty of light is the
rule; the soil should never be allowed to
to get dry, as, if this happens, the Kentia
will not recover itself; but it should not
be kept too wet as it will rot the roots.
The best way to water a palm is to set
the pot or tub in a larger vessel of water,
the water reaching to within an inch of
the rim. The appearance of water on the
surface of the soil will show that the
roots have been well soaked; ordinary
surface watering rarely reaches all of the
roots and the inner ball of roots and the
soil is left dry. The leaves should be
sprayed frequently, all dust washed off,
and no insect pests allowed on the plant
A beautiful palm may be raised from the
seed of a date. This can be buried in the
open; many plants spring from seeds just
thrown out in the yard. During the sum-
mer the tiny two-leaved plant, like spear
of stiff, coarse grass, will appear, and in
the autumn the plant can be carefully
lifted, put into rather deep pot, and
cared for until it gets esta blished, and the
next spring other leaves will come. Not
until the third year will the plant, under
ordinary usage, show its character leaf.

Every one of these patients had

We have been trying to have an old

perhaps Grandma G. would know just how
to make it and would send the recipe to
