the Inquiries that the proofs we're In

Many persons do not realize the
great value Of flowers In the home.
They not only afford much pleasure,
but ore really necessity 10 the tired
and WORKOUT body. Many persons who
are busily engaged during the day, per.
haps occupied at some desk, where the
monotonous work Of each day Is a
great strain on the system, can 60 out
into the park, or among the flowers Of
his own home, and In very short
time be refreshed wonderfully.
The mechanic who has to use his
eyes continually throughout the long
hours of a tiresome day will find real
rest in gazing at the beautiful flowers.
Many who are obliged to labor at GER.
tain work that compels the vision to
be conferred for hours on one color will
find much comfort to be had In few
moments spent in examining few
OF the different colored flowers that
are found in many Of our homes.
Persons who have to work with
black goods for hours often expert
ence much difiioulty. and to relieve the
eye have different colored pieces OIL
cloth lying about, that the vision may
not be wholly occupied with the one
color. This Is said to have even cured
some persons OF threatened blindnes,
or other serious difficulty. Flower
would answer the same purpose. AND
even do more. for they would be nat
ural colors and be less liable to In
lure the vision or nerves Of the per
son troubled.
The boy or girl who can not se,
beauty in q flower is In need Of {
closer communion with God. Stop ant
consider why the flowers were PLACED
here, and think Of the happiness tina
can be found In their culture, as vel

tally. as we'll az financially. Man.
persons are earning q living simpl.

Who can imagine q more delightful
occupation and one that will brin
