After two years Of experimenting
with nearly every spring flower of this
section of the country, DR.. Marion Mac
kenzie of the department of biology at
Temple University has established the
fact that every kind will blossom as
quickly and as beautifully in the dark
ness as ia the light. says the Phila-
delphia North American.
The experiments were conducted in
the greenhouses of the botanical gar
den at the University Of Pennsylvania
and extended over two years. The
Towering plants were studied compar-
atively under conditions of high and
low temperature, in the darkness and
in the sunlight.
Among the varieties that Powered in
the darkness were the violet, all va
rieties, of the maple and poplar trees,
the wild azalea, sassafras, the Jack-in-
the-pulpit and the skunk cabbage The
observation that darkness does not re-
tard the poisoning was so generally
true that Dr. Mackenzie thinks 1t JUS
tifiable to state as a result of her ex-
perimental work that all flowers of our
climate will bloom under these re-
markedly unnatural conditions.
1t was matter of some surprise to
DR.. Mackenzie that the skunk cabbage,
thought by even the most admiring
naturalists to be worthless perennial
plant, burst forth into a rich bloom
when brought indoors. The flowers,
too. noted the experimenter, are more
gorgeous than those of many plants
that the housewives OF to-day are har-
boring in their homes

How New Hampshire Lad Re

How New Hampshire Lad Re-
scented Epfthet of Coward"
A Washington newspaper man, one
of the few survivors of the Fifty
ninth Massachusetts regiment, recent
ly told this story:
"a young New Hampshire lad of
sixteen, Sumner Elliott, was a mem
Der of Company I. my company. In
some way a companion had been
moved to call him a coward at Spott-
sylvania. The epithet was undeserved,
for Elliott was brave boy. He thrash
ed the man who called him a coward,
but the insult ranked. On the march
to North Ann river he brooded over it.
We led the corps across the river and
advanced on the enemy. A rafting
musketry fire was dotting the ground
with our dead and wounded.
Presently young Elliott sprang
ahead OF the advancing line. and as
he waved his musket over his head he
shouted out in broad New England ac-
cent:
"'Sergeant Merlin. am | a cowardy
THE enemy opened a masked bat
terry full on our front and under
thousand yards from their line. The
guns were loaded TO the muzzles with
grape and canister, and as the sward

ranks. Nevertheless we rushed on.

Presently he went down. full length.
and as we swept over him the gallant
lad was still family shouting.
Sergeant Merlin. am l COW

His kneecap had been broken with
a grapeshot, and when subsequently
removed to the field hospital our first
sergeant, John II. Merlin. managed to
visit him. AS the poor boy, laid out
on the rude operating table, grasped
the sergeant's hand he family mutter-

replied with tears in his eyes. No,

WHEN MOTHER SINGS.

By the window mothers sitting, gazing
on the sunset skies.
Ike lace she has been knitting. in her lap
unkeeded lies.
While to herself she's singing. in the sweei
old voice and low,
Songs that through the land were ringing
in her girlhood long ago.
And l seem to hear the flies shrill call,
the long roll of the drum.
The tramp of hurrying thousands, as with
eager step they come,
And l see the starry banners waving
proudly to and fro,
As mother sings the chorus sung by thou
sands long ago:
Rally round the flag. boys, rally once
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
We will gather from the hillside, the -
ley and the plain,
Shouting the battle cry of freedom,
While the northern hosts were gathering
all the southland was ahame,
These men laughed at war as though It
wcre some merry game
There gallant hearts were leaping, too,
beneath the coats OF gray
And mothers smiled through weeping as
their brave lads marched away.
How little dreamed they of long years OF
conflict. grief and pain
Ere peace should bid their weary feet
turn slowly home again;
No bitterness now fingers in her thoughts
of them to-day,
So mother sings tn inspiring song of the
southern boys in gray.
Look away. look away, look away, Dixie
land,
Then wish was in Dixie,
In Dixie land I'll take my stand
To live ard die in Dixie.
Again | hear her singing, not the gay old
rallying song,
A strain Of solemn majesty now bears my
thoughts along
As the hearts of men were lifted to TIE
King of Glory's throne,
Wrong is strong. but God is stronger
and he watches Ger his own.
Though too well our land remembers now
her heroes vows were sealed
In many a gloomy prison, on many
hard-won field,
BY long and weary marches, in the camps
of sickness. grim,
Yet they failed not in their purpose ana
they sang the battle hymn:
Mine eyes have seen the glory OF the com
ing of the Lord,
He Is trampling out the vintage where
the grapes of wrath are stored,
He hath lOosed the dreadful lightning OF
his terrible. swift sword
His truth is marching on.
While weeks and months grew into years,
war swept throughout the land,
And took his toll of blood and tears, with
iron fingered hand
The flame-lit clouds of battle spread their
somber pail of gloom
Until the awful shadow shut the sun
from every home.
Oh, the weary hours of watching Oh, the
steps that came no more!
Oh. the hearts that broke with waiting

for the loved on yonder shorel
Fain would we shun the memory that
to that conflict clings.
But mothers thoughts are in the past
and brokenly she sings:
Many are the hearts that are weary 20
night.
Waiting for the war to cease,
Many are the hearts that are looking to
the right.
Looking to the dawn of peace.
So when you bring your garlands for the
nations dead to-day
Strew alike the fragrant blossoms DER the
graves of Blue and Gray,
Never foes more brave were vanquished
by brave conquerors before.
They were brothers e'er the conflict, they
are brothers now once more;
The dawn of peace has Frightened till ii
CLOVIS in perfect day.
The bands of love Aave frightened till the
nation owns ler sway
From sea to sea across the land, the flags

From north and south. united, let the

The custom OF having flowers at fu-
nerals is very ancient The Greeks,
centuries before the Christian era,
crowned the dead body with flowers
and also placed flowers on the tomb
The Romans decked the funeral couch
with leaves and flowers and spread
flowers, wreaths and fllets on the
tomb of friends Most of our funeral
customs are derived from the Romans,
such as dressing in black. walking or
riding in procession, raising mound
over the graves, etc, and among the
rest is that of using flowers at flu
nerals.
