tBy Iva A Clute.)
The glare of the city surrounds me,
The crash and the tumult and
strife.
The strenuous hurry and worry
That marks what the world
knows as Life.
Ten years Of successes and failures,
Ten years mid the din of the
town.
But my heart holds forever a pic
turc
That city or years ne'er can
drown.
The picture, you ask? OF the city?
All, no. But III paint you the
scene.
An old country home wrapped in
silence
And bathed in the moons golden
sheen.
Afar from the noise of the city.
Afar from the simmer and glow,
But years fleeing fast nave not
deadened
The CLEAN Of the gold on the
snow.
No artist could pencil the glory
That fell from the heavens that
night,
On a world clothed in purity ever
In purity solemn and white.
Drifts, drifts ON the hillside and
farmhouse,
White drifts on the meadow and
lea,
With the glory of God brooding
o Ter them
And casting its spell over me.
All, the city may lure and attract us
But the country Is Gods, It is rife
With the peace and the sacntihed
service
Which marks what His angels call
Life.

Lunar Rainbows.

Lunar rainbowS are seldom OBJ
served in the temperate zone. Very
likely the physical phenomenon occurs
frequently. but is invisible because of
the faintness OF the moons light. In
the tropics, where moonlight Is more
intense, says the Scientific American,
lunar rainbows are more frequently
observed They are by no means rare
at Reunion island. At all places the
phenomenon is most frequently seen
at fun moon when the moons light is
highest. but II has been seen IN various
phases of the moon. II was first OBJ

Concrete Garden Furniture.

The ;pprcciation of well-design-
ed garden accessories. which may be
! had at a reasonable cost, has led
/ architects to try various materials,
and of these concrete seems to have
proven itself the best says Cement
Age, We are beginning to realize
| that cement has, in addition to its
value for structural purposes, posi-
bilities hitherto undreamt of for
development along artistic lines.
| There are many good reasons for
using this material in gardens in
preference TO marble or stone. In tn ,
first place it has the lasting qualities
OF flint In fact, II grows harder
year by year. Then, too, it does
mot need any protection against the
severest winter weather, freezing
and thawing having no effect upon
its rigidity. The color of this ma
terial in its natural gray cement
shade Is most pleasing, and seems
to blend with out of door surround
ings in way which marble or new
~ cut stone does not. 1t takes on
rapidly the soft neutral color of
the common field stone and, when
made into some accessory of pleas
ing design. never seems to look
out of place, as is often the case
with imported marbles. Again,

there was no land bat it was pestcred

taken with rats in their bellies which
they caught in swimming from lie to

EoR EDUCATION
N tuE S0t III.

The annual meeting of the Con-
ference for Education in the south,
held In Atlanta recently. was notable
! as the previous meetings have been.
for the growing interest and enfhus-
jasm for education which is much
/ the most important fact in south
eru life today says the Outlook.
/ The first session was held in the
/ new Auditorium building, which has
/ a seating capacity Of 5000. The
speech of welcome was made by
dent of the conference for the tenth
time, delivered his annual address.
and emphasized the growth of the
work by calling attention to the
fact that there were present super
intendents of education from nearly
every state in the south. thus secur-
ing the representation OF the entire
secondary educational system: that
an army of county and district sup
erintendents and of men and women
connected with the executive and
teaching stats of the schools were
present; that there were delegates
from the School Improvement
Leagues, from the Southern Associ-
alton of College Women, and from
the Women's Clubs of the section.
The latter are taking very prom
inent part in the educational renais-
sance which has re-created the pop
ular educational systems of the
South. There were also in attend
ance presidents of leading colleges
and universities north and south
Perhaps the most important feature
of the meeting was the announce
ment Of the plan to build up a uni
form educational scheme for the
entire south by securing the cooper
alton OF all the southern states in
steps toward such a system. The re-
ports on educational progress
brought out some striking facts In
Alabama the appropriation for edu-
cation for the last year was increas-
ed $4,000. Georgia showed an in
crease for the year of a quarter of
la million dollars, The Arkansas
legislature has just passed a COM
pulsory educational law, and from
all quarters came reports of steadi-
~ advancing standards Of education
al work and steadily widening inter-
est in educational matters. The bet
terment of the conditions of rural
life was one of the most interesting
subjects of discussion, Mr.. Pinchot,
chief of the bureau Of Forestry,
answering the question, how the
national government may cooperate
with the states to this end. Or. Coul-
ter of the University of Minnesota,
discussed the reorganization of rural
life, maintained that agriculture
can not be lifted TO its proper
place among the industries until ii /
is on a more profitable basis He /
urged the farmers to work toSeth- /.

of a years labor as stock OF goods /
