The African Blue Lily.

The African blue lily (Agapathus
umbellatis) ordinarily blooms in
summer, but can be had in flower at
almost any time. 1t has many long.
narrow, dark green leaves, from
which rises a stem two or three feet
high, bearing a large cluster of
very handsome blue flowers. The
easiest way to handle it is to grow
1t in pots or tubs which are stored
in a light cellar or other dry place
during the winter, enough water be-
ing given to prevent the leaves from
falling; then put it outdoors during
the summer and let it make its
growth. Unlike the amaryllis 1t
flowers with its leaves, which adds
to Its beauty. 1t is often forced in
the early spring. The Towering
season is controlled entirely by the
resting period. The earlier you
wish it to flower the earlier you
dry it of.

Department Store oppOrtun,ty,

The claim that the department
store clerk has no opportunity rests
upon the basest misrepresentation.
No great business machine, no mat

can refuse to recognize sooner or
later that which is out of the ordi-
nary and OF commanding quality.
This recognition may come more
slowly to the department store
clerk than it does to the travelling
salesman or drummer, it may not
be so prompt as in some other lines
OF trade, but the boy of capacity is
sure of a recognition of his ability,
whether he begins behind the coun-
ter In the department store or takes
to the road as a seller at wholesale.

An important Distinction.

When Light Battery A was sta
toned on Wareham street, Boston,
one of the officers was Lieutenant
Brooks. About the time he was
elected lieutenant Brooks, who was
q painter, had contract to paint
the gun carriages and caissons,
which he carried out in good shape.
When he was before the examining
board for his assignment to duty
he was asked how he dismounted
the pieces when he did the painting.
AS explained, the dismounting
proved to have been done in a most
unconventional manner.
"Do you consider, lieutenant, that
you acted in this matter according
to the regulations" asked the
chairman of the board brusquely.
The reply was, 81 did not dis
mount the pieces as Lieutenant
Brooks of the artillery, but as
George Brooks, painter"
Lieutenant Brooks was passed all
right and received his assignment
TO duty.-Boston Herald.
