Improving Nature.

To paint the lily; to gid refined
gold" when taken in literal sense,
seem processes too absurd for serious
elaboration. Flowers Of unnatural
hues, however, bloom in florists win
dows, and the color green as applied
to the carnation is no longer confined
to the title of book. But the Pe1stans
do even worse things in the name of
beauty. They dress up their flowers,
according to Mr.. Wills in The Land
of Lion and Sum-"
Persia Is not land of flowers. Tin
MAS, convolvulus, asters balsams, wall
flowers, chrysanthemums, marfgolds
and roses are the principal blooms Of
the country.
The Persians. not content with the
plain flower, cut rings of colored pa.
per, cloth or velvet and ornament the
bloom, placing the circles of divers
hues between the first and second rows
of petals.
The effect is strange. One, at first
glance, supposes he sees bouquet of
curious and bizarre flowers Of entirely
new varieties.

The Boomerang and Its inventors

The boomerang is rather a puzzle.
One might think that the highest laws
of mathematics had been laid under
contribution in the perfecting of it.
The convexity on one side, the fairness
on the other and the sharp, knifelike
edge on the inside of the convexity
have the air of having been carefully
thought out Yet the people who in
vented this singular weapon cannot
count higher than five and are desti-
tute of all the arts and amenities of
life. Theirs is perhaps the lowest
plane Of human life. Some people have
assumed that the boomerang was the
creation Of an older and higher civili-
zation, but for this there is no evidence
1t must be the product Of an age long
empirical use of throwing weapons

THE HISTORY OF PAPER.

The most ancient kind Of paper is the
Egyptian papyrus. The papyrus was
kind of sedgelike plant, growing on the
banks of the Nile. 1t grows nowhere now
EXCEPT in Sicily. The way the paper was
made was to separate it in thin layers
from the blade of grass, and lay upon a
table slightly moistened. Upon the first
layer others are laid. They are then
pressed and dried in the sun and smoothed
with a tooth. In later times the Ro-
mans devoted great industry 10 the
preparations of paper.
Another kind of paper was the inner
barks of trees. The Arabians used cot
ton paper, and they transpanted the art
to Spain in the eleventh century. In that
country the first paper mills were set up.
Most American printing paper Is made OF
cotton because cotton fabrics are more
used than linen. In the twelfth century
attempts were made to make linen paper,
but none In proper form appeared before
1918, it being first made In Germany.
The English at the present date make the
finest paper. Machines for making paper
nre much employed in the United States.
The rags of which the paper is to be
made are thoroughly washed and soaked
In water and chloride of lime TO get the
color out of them then taken out and
put on a mold so that the vater can
run off. They are then pressed, and this
is the way paper used to be made by
hand; but, of course. everybody knows
how it is made by machinery, and this
is what our beloved T. D. G. G. page is
printed on. MILDRED LEWIS.

PEGASUS, THE WINGED
HORSE.

Pegasus. the great winged white
horse, was the offspring of Neptune and
Medusa. No one ever succeeded in
riding him except Bellerphon. q young
man who was the son OF one of the
Greecian gods. Bellterophon after try
ing in vain TO catch Pegasus. appeal
ed to one of the gods, who gave him a
golden bride, and he caught the horse
without the least trouble.
He wanted this horse to ride when
he tried to kill the chimera, dread
full ANIMAL composed OF the body Of
lion with three heads, lion's in
front, a goats in the middle, and d
serpents behind.
After riding and searching for some
time Bellerophon saw three volumes
of smoke coming from a great cave
He made Pegasus fly towards the cave
and when he got there he found the
chimera whose breath looked like
smoke. He found that the lions and
serpent's heads We're asleep. so going
up he cut off the goats head, then the
other heads awoke, and riding up he
cut Off the serpent's head. Then the
chimera sprang at him and Jumped
right on Pegasus While they were
dying through the air Bellerrophon
stuck his spear in the animal which
fell to the ground, Bcllerophon after
wards lost his mind. and on returning
to the mountain on which Pegasus haG
formerly lived, he was stricken deac
OH his flying horse, by Jupiter. who
then gave Pegasus to Aurora:

say that flowers are Gods smiles. II
You closely observe the beautiful little

The rose is one of the most historical
flowers. In English history we. read
of the Wars Of Roses" so called be-
cause of two enemies, one choosing the
red rose and the other the white. 1t is
said that one day the Duke of Somerset
was walking through the temple
Earl of Warwick. They were about to
enter into a quarrel as to who was the
legal heir to the throne OF England,
when Warwick said:
LET him that Is true born gentle
man.
And stand, upon the honor of his birth,
If he suppose l have pleaded truth
From off this brler, pluck a white rose
with me-"
Somerset replied:
let him that is no coward nor no
