War Hurts Trade in Roses.

1.-The war in the Balkans is likely to
have a more intimate effect upon the
women of America and Europe than one
would believe at this time" remarked
Henrik Scaliger, rosegrower of Boskoop,
Holland, at the Raleigh. women must
use perfumes and extracts from flowers
for the toilet, and not a few men some
times make use of toilet waters. Bulgaria
has been for a number of years the chief
producer of roses for commercial pur-
poses. Trade roses have been grown in
the acres about Kasanalik, Bulgaria, and
GraSse, France, for great many years.
and while these two places have been
among the chief sources of supply, there
are many small villages in Holland which
are the centers of vast districts devoted
almost exclusively to the raising of roses
and other flowers for commercial pur-
poses.
kans and Bulgaria faring perhaps worse
than all the other states of that region,
the great rose industry of Kasanalik
roses from Bulgaria this year probably
will be so small that altar of roses and
other perfumes will be exceedingly scarce
and the price, of course, must soar.
"Boskoop, in Holland. is known as the
rose garden of that country. The supply
from Boskoop and other villages in Hol-
land doubtless will be used to make up
the deficiency from Bulgaria, but it will
not be enough. The quality of Boskoop
roses cannot be surpassed anywhere In
the world. In horticultural shows all over
the world, prizes are taken every year by
Dutch growers. Boskoop is a village, but
it is continually increasing its area. Like
Aalsmeer it is intersected by canals
which have smaller tributaries so disposed
as to surround almost every individual
domain with d moat. Each house is ap-
preached by a drawbridge The whole area
of Boskoop is about 1000 acres, and there
are about $50 proprietors so that the aver
age holding of each proprietor is six
acres. The production of roses, however,
is so great as to give every rose grower
a tidy income. OF course. the world
knows of the fame of Harlem, the
nursery of the tulip and hyacinth. What
my lady may lose from the war in Bull
garia possibly will be supplied by Holland
but there is small chance that the manu-
facturers of essences and perfumes can
get enough roses this year to meet the
demand for extracts. ''-Washington Post.

A Mitchell county farmer walked
over two sections of corn field one day
last week to get enough roasting ears
for the evening meal, tells the King
man Leader-Courier. The corn was
small and scrawny so the wife cut it
off the cobb, cooked it and served it
in a bowl. The daughter of the house
had invited her best fellow in to eat
and when the corn was passed to him
he took two or three generous help
ings. The farmer, who had been
watching the Best Fellow dip his
spoon deep into the corn finally said:
Say, Jim, you're going pretty strong
there, amt you?" II don't know"
returned Jim, the best fellow. why ?''

of corn on your plate already"
1t is reported that one of our
farmers lost his can of syrup while
taking his poisoned bran home Sat
urday, relates the Jetmore Republi-
can. Having no syrup to mix the
bran, he concluded to try an expert
ment. He had a full quart of Hay
ner which he mixed with the bran
in place of the syrup. He reports
that the hoppers seemed to take to
this mixture even better than to the
ordinary bran mixture He said an
old male hopper would come along
take a bite of the bran. jump about
four feet high, spit a stream of to-
bacco juice, light down and take an
other bite, and then start out to lick
the first hopper he met. In this way
all the hoppers in the field were soon
fighting each other and the carnage
was awful. AS soon as one hopper
would kill another he would jump
onto another hopper and this con-
tinued until there was but one big
old hopper left. Pretty soon an old
rooster came along and made a dive
for this big hopper, but Mr.. Hopper
instead of allowing himself to be
quietly eaten, jumped up and kicked
the old rooster in the face, spit to-
bacco juice in his eyes and chased
him under the barn.

EVENING CHAT
Nobody Ever Does.
BY RUTH CAMERON

One OF the greatest of all enemies to
paoSress OF any sort is the phrase, or
rather the state of mind behind the
phrase, Nobody ever Does
Inc idea that if thing were possible
ana practicable to do it would have been
done before sometimes has a good. solid
foundation but quite as often If has none
at ALL ''' -i0'io
In the old fishing town of Gloucester.
nan century ago, a fisherman got it
into his head that he might utilize the
sickness which has always been a recog-
nlzed characteristic of the finny tribe in
making glue. Everyone said at once that
that was impossible because if if were
not. it would have been done before
flshes had always had the same proper
ties, they pointed out, and if these proper
ties could have been utilized they would
have been long ago. The fisherman said
nothing but he went ahead and tried out
his scheme. 1t succeeded and he made
a fortune by it. History does not relate
what became of the other fishermen who
said it couldn't be done because nobody
had ever done it, but you can easily imag-
inc their short and simple annals"
why don't you try flavoring your gela-
tine with grape fruit?' L asked a neighbor
or mine the other day. She had just been
telling me how fond all her family were
of grape fruit. 81 don't think it would
be good,'' said she. why not?" said L.
for flavoring," said she with an air of
having completely settled the matter.
Now, to be sure, grape fruit may not
be a good flavoring but don't think that
fact proves it, and the next time 1 make
gelatine I am going to find out for my
self.
AS said before, there are times when
the fact that nobody ever does rests
on the foundation of some unsurmount-
able obstacle, for instance, a trip to
Jamaica a friend of mine had planned to
battle in the Caribbean Sea at Kingston.
When he asked his fellow passengers
the bathing they all said, 'Tt may be
good. We don't know. Nobody ever
does battle there" When he reached
Kingston he investigated further before
giving up his project and found out the
reason that nobody ever did battle was
that the bay was full of sharks Needless
to say, he was quite willing to give up
his bath. -
But you will notice he gave it up. not
because nobody ever did. but because of
the obstacle that stood behind that phrase.
And that to my mind is the right spirit
If an apparently feasible thing is never
done, don't assume that it is therefore
undesirable to do Try to find out why.
Quite often there will not be any why and
that is your chance to be a pioneer and
find out something for yourself.

THREE BIG BROTHERS.

Not much in the way of serious con-
sideration was given to the suggestion
that Brazil. Argentina and the United
States join hands for the purpose of
acting as mediators between the rival
factions in Mexico, and thus bring
about a settlement of their differences
and the establishment of law and order
once again in that unfortunate land.
But there is much of merit in 1t. And
a concert of these three nations to act
in matters of this sort in Central and
South American affairs might result in
great and effective good.
Since the PRONUNCIATION of the famous
Monroe doctrine. the United States has
been playing the role of big brother
to the smaller republics of the south.
1t has been a difficult one at all times
This is but natural. A small nation
that is struggling its way to sta
bility through a variety of vicissitudes,
including revolutions. is sure to be re-
sentful against such an attitude from
a larger and all-powerful neighbor,
no matter how good the latter's inten-
tions may be. 1t is sure to impugn
Interior motives no matter in what dl-
rection the hand of help is extended.
This is especially true of nation
whose people are of proud anu
naughty temperament, as is the case
in Central and South American coun-
tries. ..---.
During the past quarter of century,
though. Brazil and Argentina, WORKING
generally along the lines that nave
been followed in the development OF
these United States to their present
majestic proportions. have estaphshei
firm and stable governments Ihey
are prosperous and progressive nations
Their ideals are high. Their sense OIL
Justice is profound. They are worthy
in every way of seats at council ta-
BILE with the United States.
With three big brothers in league
for the promotion of peace and JUS
tice in Central and South America, the
accomplishments would be certain TO
be much larger than with one Dig
brother working alone. Such crltl-
cism as is now made against the Unit
ed States acting in these premises, anc
the resentment that is occasioned
thereby, could not possibly develop.
the Observation-Disclosures of the mo-
tives of three big brothers" working
together would be apparent. They
could have nothing but the welfare of
their neighbors at heart. That has al
ways been the attitude of the United
States, but acting alone, it has been
almost impossible to impress this fact
on the minds of those affected.
Such a league between Argentina,
Brazil and the United States would
provide the Western Hemisphere with
a dove of peace that would be worth !
while.
