SWEET LAVENDER.
An Old World Plant Long Gone Out
 of Fashion.

From the London Globe.
 Just as Dante Gabriel Rossetti discov- cred sweet symphonies in the names of the five handmaidens in The Blessed Damozel'-Cicely, Gertrude, Magdalen Margaret and Rosalye--so Is the very name of sweet lavender" full of fra grance. It is an Old World plant men tioned and described, with it's medicinal and other qualities, in the first English herbals and, long before their publca- tion, in classic works. It is associated with one of the most charming idylls in the English language, for surely Izaak Walton's Complete Angler may be placed in this category. The rustic re- sorts of the anglers seem to stand con fessed before us, with the old printed ballads stuck on the walls, and the snowy sheets smelling of lavender Perhaps out in the garden at the very time the fisher men visited the old hostelries.. at the height of the trouting season, the newly washed linen was hanging out to bleach oyer or on a fragrant lavender bush which bloomed opportunely after the wild roses and honeysuclxle as a flower of sslater summer" In one of the beautiful floral passages in 'The Winters Tale Shakespeare alludes to the lavender and associates it with other fragrant blos- sons. the Towering mint and marporam, which we now regard as herbs

glory of our vanished merchant marine with it's swift clipper ships manned by Yankee crews and with Yankee captains in command, that could show clean pair of heels to anything carrying canvas, is only a memory. Even the fishing indus try has practically disappeared from the cape, the cradle of Thanksgiving. The sons and daughters of the old captains are fiocking to the cities or to western states and their places are being taken by foreigners, mostly by Portuguese from
 the Azores. In another generation the Yankee as he existed on Cape Cod for nearly three centuries after the settlement of New England, will live only in the pages of books like "Capn. Whittaker's
