There blooms a rose on the Dream

1t grows in the Garden {: Mystery
Where the River of Slumber softly
flows.
And wherever a dream has come to
be,
A petal falls from the Dreamland
Rose.
In the heart of the tree, on branch
of gold,
A silvery bird sings endlessly
A mystic song that is ages old
A mournful song in minor key,
Full of the glamour of faery.
And whenever a dreamer's ears un-
close
To the sound OF that distant mel
ody,
A petal falls from the Dreamland
Rose.
Dreams and visions in hosts untold
Throng around on the moonlit lea;
Dreams of age that are calm and
cold,
Dreams of youth that are fair and
Dark with a lone hearts agony,
Bright with a hope that no one
knows
And whenever a dream and dream
agree,
\ petal falls from the Dreamland

MISSIONARY GIVES WARNING.
White Women Never Can CONVEX
Chinese, Declares authority.

White Women Never Can Convert
Chinese, Declares authority.
Miss Helen Clark, director of the
Helen F. Clark mission in New York
city, is an authority on Chinese mis-
sionary work. There are many
things to be said on both sides of tn
question, in defense as well as in al
raignment of the Chinaman," she sai6.
But there is only one answer to it
ALL White women must leave the
lives of Chinese men alone.
For seventeen years | have urged
the folly of white women endeavoring
to Christianize Cinnamon. All about
me / have seen the ruin and wrecked
homes-case after case that parallels
Elsie Sigels, with the exception OF its
tragic termination. / have believed
from the very beginning that it was
impossible for white women to prop
erly influence Chinese men. Why do
these women take up missionary
work? Heaven only knows, unless it
is the we'll known kindness and gentle
ness of Cinnamon to white women.
There is one big truth of which |
was sure when l first took up the
work and of which years have made
me positive beyond argument-the
white woman never can Christianize
the Chinese man. If she tries it, it
will be the West that is converted
to the East, not the East converted to
the West"

The chaplain of a large private
asylum in Yorkshire, Eng, recently
asked a brother clergyman to preach
to the inmates on a Sunday morning
during his absence. He said to him:
Preach them good sermon, for
though insane on some points they are
very intelligent" The preacher talked
to them of Africa and India and of
heather mothers who threw their
babes into the sacred River Ganges
as offerings to the gods. Tears stream
ed down the face of one listener.
When asked by the clergyman after
ward what part of the sermon had
affected him, the lunatic replied: "Sir,
was thinking it was a pity your
mother didn't throw you into the
Ganges." 5a|s.r

Fish Know the weather.

"In their way" said an old fisher
man, fishes are good weather proph-
cts. If storm is approaching the
fish stop biting and they wont bite
again until the storm is well over.
They appear to know when a storm is
coming and when it has really passed.
And to fishermen and farmers living
along shore fish foretell the near APP
proach of cold weather. Hours before
it comes fishes leave the shallow wa
tiers in shore and seek the deeper
water, which in it's depths will stay
warm and keep an equable temper
ature after the shallower and surface
waters have turned cold. Oh, yes, fish
es know a thing or two about the
weather. New York Press.

King Edwards Hats.

The king, besides setting the fashion
in the wearing of hats is an inventor
of head gear. In an entertaining little
book called Hints on Hats" written
in 1866 by Henry Melton, the royal
halter of the period, assisted by
George Augustus Sala, felt hat is de-
scribed and illustrated which was de-
signed by the king, then Prince of
Wales, as an improvement on the
round crowned hats then in vogue, the
London Daily News says.
In shape it very much resembles the
soft felts of the present day, but was
covered with plaid OF the same color
as the shooting suit it was to accom-
pany.
At this time the majority of RATS
were made very heavy and strong. The
Earl of Harrington, for instance,
whose life had once been saved
through his wearing a particularly
hard hat in the hunting field, used to
test the quality of his hats by stand
ing on them and rejected any that
could not bear his weight without
dent.
He was particularly sensitive about
their color, and his eccentricity led
him to adapt his taste in that par
ticular to the object he had in view.
When walking in the garden, says Mr..
Melton, he would wear a sage green
hat, so as not to brighten the birds.

HOW NOT TO PLANT TREES.
Experiments i'm England show Mis-
takes of the old Method.

Experiments i'm England show Mis-
takes of the old Method.
1t is an article of faith among fruit
growers that fruit trees must be plant-
ed in certain special way if success
is to be obtained, says London Nature.
The soil is properly prepared, large
hole is made, wide, but not deep, the
roots are carefully spread out in all
directions and arranged near the sur
face, with slight upward bearing at
the ends. The soil is filled in with
many precautions. Small quantities
of the finer soil are first worked in
among the roots, hollow places caused
by archings in the stouter roots are
filed up, and then the rest of the soil
is put in, trodden carefully down, and
the whole left to the compacting in
1uence of the rain. The tree is sup
ported by stakes until it is sufficiently
firmly established.
All this, according to the report be.
fore us, is precisely wrong; it is all
exactly the opposite of what it should
be. The proper way to plant tree is
to make small hole, to double the
roots up anyhow, and stick the tree
in, throw in the soil and ram it down
as hard as if one were fixing a gate
post. The experiments seem convinc-
ing enough. They have been made at
Woburn, Harpenden, Bedford. various
places in Cambridgeshire and in Dew
onshire. Fifty-nine per cent of the
sets showed in favor of ramming, 81
per cent showed no difference. e.,
all the elaborate detail of the ordinary
way of planting was simply a waste
of time-and only IA per cent were
against ramming. 1t makes no differ
ence by what criterion the trees are
judged; planting in this new way
gives better results than planting in
the orthodox fashion.
When a new fact is established by
scientific experiment that no longer
fits in with the Old practical formula
which has hitherto sufficed to cover
all cases, there is invariably a cry
raised about the antagonism Of theory
Cor science) and practice. This has
duly happened in the present case.
But no practical man has been able to
give any reason for the faith that is in
him beyond the fact that it is sane
toned by established custom; these.
appear to be first serious experiments
on the subject, and they do not seem
to be vitiated by any constant error.
Examination of the trees shows that
ramming has led to a copious develop
ment of fibrous roots. Direct expert.
ments showed that the fibrous and
small roots produced in the nursery
before lifting play no great part as
roots during the subsequent life of,
the tree; the important point is to
induce fresh root formation and ram
ming does this more rapidly than the
orthodox method of planting. No
harm was done, and sometimes even
good resulted, when the old roots were
deliberately damaged before planting.

with $50 buildings and POS branches,
toward which S34,S70,745 had been

whether he is satisfied with his gifts
Mr.. Carnegie says emphatically that
he is. He says it is not only what a
