splgng the greenhouse is filed witN
material for distribution. In the
spring of 1904, 1000 plants were sent
out from the house, which covers an
area only 9 by 80 feet.
Much attention has been given to
window-box gardening The prepare
ton Of the soil, the suitability Of
plants, and their proper arrangement
have been carefully studied. Special
success in these window boxes has
been obtained with Boston ferns.

and kept in sand during the winter.
In the spring the ground has been
plowed by the students with hand

The Worth Of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
It is indeed the organ Of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart of man Is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet
of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice fromathe burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing of
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.
