NE of the interesting developments in the dis
J cussion now raging in the trade the matter
of puzzle contests is the action of number of
New York piano manufacturers who have united in a
combined request to the New York daily newspapers,
asking them to refuse piano puzzle contest Advertising
Soon after this petition given circulation in Greater
New York received very large number of signatures
OF local houses many OF them artistic piano estabA
lishments, and will be presented in few. days In
the meantime, significant feature of the situation is
that for other reasons, best known themselves six
of the leading New York daily papers have refused this
sort of advertising and if their action be any criterion
the crusade OF the manufacturers for the support of
the dailies will undoubtedly be successful. Whatever
the result it shows that there very strong and
stany growing feeling in the trade against this form
of publicity which many of the leading members of the
industry regard harmful than beneficial It
certainly does not dignity the industry give it, in
the eyes of the public, the standing to which is
titled, and which its increasing influence depends

much of it here in your city of the
Angels, which I count one of the
strongholds of morality. There is one
thing that the northern part of the

New York formerly went so sfar in
gambling that the fathers gambled in
Wall street and on the race track,
while the mothers gambled at bridge

DR.. Crafts then introduced Mr.. Bro

was prohibited in Southern California,
secured a grant from the Mexican gov

SHOULD USE ERRORS
As GUIDE, SAYS PASTOR
Rev. VIM. MaCCormack breaches
on mistakes of Life;"
Urges Perseverance,

There are only two classes of peo-
pie who never make mistakes. They
are the dead and the unborn" said the
Rev. William MacCormaCk, dean and
rector of ST. PauPs pro-Cathedral, last
evening on the topic, Facing the Mis-
takes of Life" He continued in part:
"One is constantly meeting with men
and women who have what almost
amounts to a horror of making a mis-
take. They decline invitations of all
sorts and conditions to lives Of useful
ness and service because of the dread
that overshadows them like dark
cloud, of making a mistake. For the
benefit of these people 1 wish to say
that the man who never makes a mis-
take never makes anything.
when a man comes to me with re-
grets for mistakes there is only one
thing l can say to him. 1t is what l
believe the apostle Paul would have
said to him, Forget it SO 1 interpret
the text, forgetting those things which
are behind the pressing forward to
those before.
Mistakes some one has said are the
growing pains Of wisdom. They may
be so If we only have the grace of God
properly to understand them. In all
of the great chain factories in the east
they have machines for finding out the
weak points in any chain that has been
manufactured, That is what eX-
perience does for US. The result Of
mistakes to some people is discourage
ment, They throw up the sponge and
never try again. Nothing could be
more foolish than that.
And so right here, though l may
seem to contradict what 1 have lust
said, I want to say that the first great
thing in life is TO realize our mistakes
Have we burned our fingers insthe fire
through ignorance or any other cause? /?
That is the first great lesson in life
There is only one greater, and that is
realizing on our mistakes, turning
them to good account and making. as
the poet says, Of our dead selves step
ping stones to higher things.
zone man throws his mistakes to +he
one side. Another puts them by, thinks
about them, is guided in future enter
prises by them and becomes morally
and spiritually a millionaire.
"Our duty is not to accept failures
as final, but in determining to organize
victory out of the broken ranks of
seeming defeat, confident that in the
end right thinking and right doing will
triumph.

at o'clock, Immediately following the
Sunday evening service at the Temple
auditorium, and the larger part of the
large. congregation remained for this
service, to which gamblers had been
especially invited, although they did
not seem to be present.
DR.. Wilbur r. Crafts of the interna-
tional reform bureau opened the sec
ond service with a short address on
the bad Manners as Well as the Bad
Morals of Gambling" DR.. Crafts has
long been connected with the reform
movement in a national scope and
gave many interesting facts.
He said that gambling was the old
est of the vices as well as the greed
lest, and stated that all but seven
states in the Union had been freed
from race track gambling.
There are two ways to look at
gamblng-for business and for pleas
ure," said DR. Crafts 1T comes under

robbery but gambling is not fair

Several requests have come in for
this recipe. and we give it hoping it
may be still in time for use:
Jars coming for this purpose are
not expensive, but must have tight
fitted lid, and be OF suitable size for
your use. Dry the rose leaves (pe-
tals) in q cool oven or in sunshine,
mix also with them in drying few
leaves Of the lemon verbena and rose
geranium leaves. Put them into an
earthen jar with some dried thyme
and lavender flowers Mix well and
stir in a spoonful each of allspice,
cinnamon. cloves and nutmeg, all
we'll ground and thoroughly mixed.
A drop each of several fragrant oils,
and grain of musk. with few drops
of Compton should be thoroughly
mixed, then stirred into the mass in
the jar. The mixture may be made
in the rose jar, if preferred. Keep
the jar covered for ten days or two
weeks. adding more dried petals as
you have them, and occasionally q
little Orris root or rose satchet DOW
der, mixing well. When wanted.
open the the jar for half an hour, and
the room will be delightfully."- per-
fumed. There are cheaper methods,
but this one is lasting.

come an annual affair The location
for the Chautauqua is an ideal camp
site reached by boats from Seattle

The Romantic Hazel.

The hazel among the Romans, like
the olive among the Jews, was re-
garded as the emblem OF peace, and
this estimation of it was transmitted
to the people of a later period.
Hence. in popular works of fancy on
the language of flowers, this is re-
corded as its symbolic meaning; and
IN ancient times hazel-rod was sup
posed to have power of reconciling
friends who had been separated by
disagreement. These superstitions
connected with the hazel, and more
particularly the one relating to the
hazel-rOd, named the Caduceus, as
signed by the gods to Mercury as a
means OF restoring harmony to the
human race, probably gave origin to
the divining rod. which was first
made of hazel and afterwards of the
witch-elm.
The hazel, under which Menalcas
invites his brother shepherd to sit,
is tree of considerable size, while
the American hazels are mere shrubs,
seldom Overtopping rustic stone
wall.
There are two New England species
both delighting in the shelter OF rude
fences. and producing their flowers
before their leaves.
The whole nut of the hazel with it's
envelope resembles a birds head and
beak
Both species are particularly worthy
of protection and preservation. They
produce a valuable nut without our
care; they are ornamental to our
fields and by-roads; they feed the
squirrels and shelter the birds, and
they add lively interest to natural
objects by their spontaneous pro-
ducts. The hazel is associated with
many pleasant adventures in our
early days. with nut gatherings and
squirrel hunts. and with many pleas
ant incidents in classical poetry.
The hazel has been a favorite of
poets, especially those of the Middle
Ages. In the songs of that period
are constant illusions to the hazel
bush. probably from its frequency in
natural hedge rows. and its valuable
fruit. Our own native poets have
made the hazel the subject of some
delightful verses. particularly Mr..
Whittier, the Quaker bard of precious
memory.

How to Prevent Weeds.

Cover your flower bed over with
salt from one inch to two inches
deep. Dampen the salt occasionally
and leave it on the ground for a
week or ten days. This will be suf-
ficient time to kill not only the
weeds, but also all the seeds that
may be in the soil or on the surface.
Before planting, dampen the ground
thoroughly and let it alone over
night. Scrape off all the salt on the
surface in the morning and let it re-
main until dry enough to work.
Then plant your seeds and you need
have no fear of being bothered with
weeds.
