 The introduction of coffee into this country dates from the period of the protectorate, says the London Chron- icle. According to a restoration namphleteer, Coffee and common wealth came in together" The first coffee house in London was estab- hshed in 1852 by Pasqua Rosee, the Armenian servant of city merchant Others were quick to follow Natu- rally the pubicans and owners of

THE GARDENERS FLOWER.

You would scarcely suppose, would
you. that plants and flowers are sen
sitive TO human affection or hatred?
or that metals may be poisoned and
restored by antidotes? or that metals
may be overworked and restored by
periods Of rest?
Science says so.
Recent experiments have shown that
certain flowers are extremely sensitive
to words OF praise or Of blame long
continued
The flowers will expand in beauty
and sweetness under kind and affec-
tionate treatment. But If they are
disparaged or sneered at or abused in
speech they viii languish and die as
Of n broken heart.

What a mastery is in it! The mys-
terious thing we call magnetism af-
fects the sensitive flower even as it
does the human. Things both organic
and inorganic are subject TO human IN
huence.
II so. my friend
If so. should not a realization Of the
fact make us wondrous kind 10 all

And. IL one ought TO be careful OF
his moods toward the little plant Of
the woods that II may blossom into

careful one should be toward the ten
der little human plant that Il may
bloom into fragrant and beautiful life
For Is not little child OF more pre-
cious worth than many iowers2
The Head Gardener gives you the

you will love II and shield it, And he

tion will open its petals TO the warmth
