cut deeply in the hard turf. 1t Is a

mists of antiquity The body resem-

unusually long and outstretched. as
are the legs. The right hand grasps
the handle of an enormous club, and
the general attitude suggests pursuit
of game.
The head seems sunk between the
shoulders, and the face, which is
roughly cut, exhibits an uncaEny leer.

bringing good luck to the people dur

epochs. II receives attention now on
account OF its quaintness and age
The Dorset giant is inuised in the
turf after the manner OF the Long
Man OF Wilmington and the White
Horse Of Berkshire and elsewhere
The turf is SO hard that the outlines
OF the figure have been preserved in

OverWork a Waste Of Time.

Overstrained faculties can never
bring out the best results. Overwork
la always a waste OF time, and though
1t may not seem to be so at first,
eventually the sad truth is always
manifested. To cut off needed recre.
alton. to curtail the hours of sleep. to
postpone a holiday indefinitely, to re-
Use TO take a rest and ease and
change. under the impression that
thus time Is saved. is always a short.

take. The time arrives when the poor.
abused faculties take their revenge
and refuse to serve altogether, or do in
so feeble fashion as to show their

MODERN TASTE AS COMPARED
WITH OTHER YEARS.
Gardens Of Today Would Be Thinos
OF Wonder to Our Ancestors
All Countries Called on for
Beauty of Color.

1t is truly astonishing thing to re.
nect that Shakespeare, for all his love
or fiowers, would have been able TO
name scarcely a single bloom in a
twentieth century garden, says the
Strand. He would hardly have been
able to distinguish the queen of flow
ers itself, so greatly has the rose
changed In the last three centuries.
AS for the begonias, the chrysanthe-
NUNS, the dahlias, the geraniums, the
fuschias and carnations; these were
unknown even to our great-grandfath.
ers. Many Of our most beautiful fow-
ers are purely modern productions.
Three centuries ago there were no
hover gardens In England. What
were then thought of as gardens were
herbaria, places where rosemary. mint.
rue, thyme and sage grew. and per-
haps a few primitive blooms. such as
violets and primroses, were suffered
to exist, much as poppies and corn
flowers do today.
Many we'll known plants have been
developed from specimens discovered
In various parts Of the world, and there
is no doubt that number of charm
Ing novelties are still lurking undis-
covered In remote spots The chances
OF valuable finds are, however, becom-
Ing unfortunately less every year. A
small army Of collectors Is always at
work In every corner Of the world
searching for new treasures to enrich
our floral store.
From South America came many
years ago the recently unfashionabJe
fuschia; from the hills of northern
India and Tibet have been brought
many useful varieties from China we
have had among other things many
new primulas; Japan has yielded
wonderful irises; Africa many varied
plants, usually of most brilliant and
gorgeous coloring; while numerous
charming members of the narcissus
family have been discovered in the
Pyrenees.
But this cannot continue indefinite
ly, and even in the realm OF orchids,
for which perhaps the most systematic
search Of all is made, there is not
much left to be explored. For our fu-
ture novelties We shall have to rely
then chiefly on the skill of our hybrid
lists, who are constantly engaged in
mating different species OF the same
family OF plants, and our cross fertil-
tzers, who are doing similar work with
different varieties of the same species.
The flowers Of today are the result OF
cross-breeding, stimulated by electri-
city, drugs and hot water baths
