PRETTY LANGUAGE OF LOVE
In Switzerland Flowers Are Made Use

In remote Alpine hamlets and vii

the language OF flowers. If a maid

him as her fiance, the idea being that
the man has risked his life to obtain
the flowers for the woman he loves.
Another method which exists in the
Canton Of Glarus is for the young man
to place a flowerpot containing a sin

sill of the girls room when she is abb

days-for a reply. II the maid takes
the rose. the young man boldly en-.

with her parents, but II the rose Is al.

Secret Of Happiness.

Most of us begin we'll. When we
are quite young, we are full of faith.
We believe in others, and we also be-
lieve in our own powers of overcoming
faults and failings.
We set out full Of the zest of life
no hill is too high to climb, no point
too lofty to reach.
But later most Of US get discour-
aged. We find that our friends are not
so noble as we thought them, that it
Is much harder to root out our faults
and failings than we imagined, and
perhaps in time to take up the fool
ish soul-destroying idea that SO long
as we are mo worse than other peo-
ple' it is all right.
Let us try to keep the high ideals
that we learned at our mothers knee,
to still keep our faith in human ma
ture, no matter how often we may be
disappointed. Let us still strive for
perfection and resolve to do our best
again and again, no matter how often
we may fail. For only by doing this
can we keep our hearts young, how
ever old we may live to be, and only
80 can we be our best and do oul

Blankets Grow on Trees.

Blankets grow on trees in Ecuador.
and while the idea of an all wool, fresh
from the forest, bed covering might
give insomnia and backache to the
child of civilization who likes to snug
gle comfortably under several lay
ers Of down and wool, the natives find
it all right, as in fact it is.
When an Ecuador Indian wants q
blanket, he hunts up a demajagua tree
and cuts from it five or six foot
section of the peculiarly soft, thick
bark. This is dampened and beaten
until the hexibility of the sheet is
much increased.
The rough gray exterior is next
peeled off and the sheet dried in the
sun. The result Is blanket, soft.
light and fairly warm, of an attrac-
tive cream color. 1t Iaay be rolled
into a compact bundle without hurt
and with ordinary usage will last for
several years.

Mechanical Horse.

A real mechanical horse" is being
experimental with abroad. 1t is a
tractor that is easily hitched to any
horse-drawn vehicle, just as a team
OF horses may be, and combines all
the advantages Of the horse with
those of the auto truck at an exceed
ingly low price. The outfit comprises
steel bar and coupler and sprocket
wheels designed to be attached to the
wheels and tongue of the wagon.
There is only one wheel on the
horse" and that is at the front, the
most of the support for the tractor de-
pending upon the front wagon wheels
by which it is driven. The engine,
mounted under the front hood as in
an automobile, Is of 40 or so horse
power and drives The wagon at a
speed Of from to so miles an hour,
the latter speed only being used when
II is designed for fire engine service.
The front wheel is used to steer by
and it allows turn being made at an
angie Of IS degrees, thus giving re.
,narkable turning ability in narrow
streets. One Of the greatest advan.
tages Of the mechanical horse" is the
fact that it may be kept constantly at
work while unloading or loading is
going on.

Reward of Humility.

God will richly reward those who are
clothed with humility. Peter in his first
general epistle says: YEA, all of you be
subject one to another. and be clothed
with humility, for God resisteth the
proud and giveth grace to the humble.
Humble yourselves, therefore. under the
mighty hand of God. that He may exalt
YOU in due time. Casting all your care
upon Him. for He careth for you
In the proverbs of Solomon we are told
that before honor is humility 1t Isl
the gateway to the highest distinction
and honor attainable lin the service of
God and humanity. When God tells us
that the humble shall be exalted we can
understand that the final reward to those
who have the Christian virtue of humil-
ity will be exceedingly great and precious
1t means that they shall share with
Christ in His exaltation on the throne Of
heaven; that they Shall be where He is.
and wherever that Isl is heaven, with all
that it means of grandeur and glory.
A story is told of humble little colored
boy who on his deathbed told the mis-
sionary of the happiness he felt and the
longing desire he had to be with Jesus
Il am going to heaven soon, and then
l shall see Jesus and be with Him FOR
ever" said the little fellow.
But" said the missionary, IF Jesus
were to leave heaven. what would you
do?"
II would follow Him. replied the boy.
But suppose Jesus went TO hell; what
would you do them?
.Ah, massa'' quickly replied the boy,
'.rhere is no hell where Jesus is.
Where Jesus is. is in a realm where
there are neither griefs nor graves,
neither sins nor sorrows, neither births
nor burials-where all is endless peace
and joy, and life. immortal and glorious
