ORIGIN OF CHINESE LILIES.
Story as Told and How the Bulbs
Brought Good Luck.

Very few people who see and admire
the beautiful Chinese lilies know the
reason why this particular flower is
held in such favor in the orient. This
is the story of the origin as told by
Chinaman.
Years and years ago a member OF
the celestial empire had two wives
whom he loved dearly because each
had borne him a son. While they we're
still lads the father died and in set
ting up the estate some difficulty was
encountered, for the man left his heirs
two pieces of land, one a strip lying in
a fertile and beautiful valley. the
other a small ribbon Of land bordering
the bed Of a narrow stream. The for
mer land was known to grow anything
the country produced, while the latter
was counted utterly worthless.
1t was at first proposed that each OF
the two strips be divided in half and a
section of each be given to the two
heirs. But the mothers could not agree
upon the division and 1t was finally
arranged that one son should take the
rich land, while the other should take
the sterile piece.
The valley strip yielded bountiful
harvests season after season and the
rocky one gave nothing until one day
the boy owner happened to notice a
tiny white, sweet-scented flower
blooming among the rocks and after
a careful study and examination 1t was
| found to be the only one Of its kind II
/ China. The flower grew from a bull
| and the boy discovered that these
bulbs could be ransplanted to similar
rocky soil without destroying theil
growth
Soon the bulbs were in great de
mand and when it was learned tina
the flowers brought good luck to tn,
owner OF the plant the boy had all h,
could do to supply the market. From
the sale OF the bulbs he grew enor
mously wealthy, while his brothe
never made more than a good Twin,
out OF his valley property.

The ethical basis upon which both
sides must rest their cases, was dis
closed and misunderstanding that had
been chronic source of friction, were
explained away. Glass distinctions
were faced and discounted, and what
was best of all the human element was
kept constantly to the front, SO that
capital seemed to fade and the con-
testants regarded themselves as mel
dealing with men of like passions and
similar prejudices.-Rev Charles
