The kina's RING.

Once in Persia reignrd a king
Who upon his signet ring
Grayed a maxim true and wise
Which. II held befnre his eyes,
Gave him counsel AT a glance
Pit for every change and chance.
Solemn words and these are they:
Even this shall pass away.
Trains Of camels through the sand
Brought him gems from Samarcand'
Fleets OF galleys through the seas
Brought him pearls 10 match Win
these;
But he counted not mis- gain
Treasures OF the mine or main.
What : WEALTH. the king would say;
Even this shall pass away.
In the revels OF his court
AZ the zenith OF the sport
When the palms Of all his guests
Burned with clapping al his jests,
He. amid his figs and wine.
Cried: ~Oh. loving friends OF mine'
Pleasure comes. but not 10 stay,
Even this shall pass away.
Fighting on a furious field
Once a jayelin pierced his shield,
Soldiers. with a loud lament.
Bore him bleeding 10 his tent.
Grooming from his tortured side,
Pain Is hard 10 bear. he cried;
but. with patience day by day.
"Ev.n this shall pass away.
Towering in the public square.
Twenty cubits in the air.
Rose his statue. carved in stone.
Then the king. disguised. unknown,
Gazing at his sculptured name
Asked himself. What is fameg
Fame is but a slow decay.
Even this shall pass away.
Struck with palsy. sere and old,
Waiting at the gates Of gold,
+ Spake he with his diving breath:
Life is done. bur what Is death2
Then. in answer TO the king,
Fell sunbeam on his ring,
Showing. by a heavenly ray:
Even this shall pass away

phosphate and 300 10 $50 pounds OF
muriate OF potash and nitrate OF soda
applied as an annual top dressing from

Weld Of timothy without the use Of
stable manure. which is subject to the
objection that the coarser undecom-

ing upon the meadow is likely TO be
raked up with the hay and that the
manure sometimes has the effect OF
reducing the quality OF the grass by
causing rank growth or by the intro

Practical Suggestions for Guidance Of

To have cabbage, caulifower and sim

started in the window garden. hotbed
or greenhouse. BY having your own
hotbed. YOU can grow the varieties OF
vegetables that YOU like. IL is not al
WAYS possible 20 buy just what you
want from the dealer in vegetable
plants. and your own homegrown
plants will probably be better. More
over. if yof start them very early and
give them every care, YOU Will be able
70 get vegetables earlier than your
