attack from a narrow minded clergy

between the real artist and the stage
creation: who meets him as an enemy
and by her wOman's wits and wles
makes him her humble friend who re-
tracts his base accusations and honor

A GLIMPSE OF MANCHURIA.
Its Wind Whipped Natives and Its
Empty Brown Wastes.


Empty Brown Wastes.
Manchuria means an interminable
brown plain-dry stubble, endless,
empty burrows to be filled by and by
with millet, kaoliang, waving, wonder
full green plumage, high as man and
higher, in which not many years ago
the Japanese hid whole armies
Today it is the emptest, most silent
spot in Asia. It spreads out fiat and
tranquil in unthinkable forgetfulness.
The sun beats down fercely out Of a
deep, unbroken field Of turquoise blue.
The air is biting cold: A sudden
breath of it is like a slap. A great
tingling follows and sense of extraor-
binary buoyancy. One feels impelled to
laugh, to shout, to strike out, to do
violent things. To sleep or sit with
folded hands would drive one mad.
There is that in the air which compels
like the lash Of a whip.
Over this brown waste, sheltering a

with native women sitting astride far

FLOWER FIRE.
Some Plants Will Emit Mysterious
Radiance at Times

some FIaNeS Will emit mysterious
Radiance at Times.
The most wonderful-it might almost
be said spiritual attribute Of flowers is
neither their beauty of color or form
nor their fragrance, but, strangely
enough, a mysterious radiance that
sometimes surrounds them, writes ].
Carter Beard. 1t is strange that this
flower fire is so little known and SO sell
dom noticed.
The best time to watch for and to
witness the emission of flower fire is
just after sunset of warm day, when
the atmosphere is perfectly dry and
clear. On the contrary, if the air is
dense or the day has been rainy moth
ing of the kind can be seen. The light
emitted from flowers is sometimes con-
tinuous, but oftener, perhaps, repre-
sents itself in flashes and chickering's
like the sparks from a piece of paper
that has been electrified The duration
of the light varies according to the
state of the atmosphere and the sort Of
flowers that are under observation.
A daughter of Linnaeus is credited
WILL LIS OCCA CAC A0I, 4OuS3 d5O
as 17G2, to have observed the luminous
emanations. While seated alone in her
fathers garden on a fine, warm sum-
mer night her attention was attracted
to a cluster Of the common nasturtiums,
whose flowers shone with iridescent
luster amid the surrounding gloom
Captivated by the charming novelty Of
the spectacle. she repeated her noe
turnal visit to the flowers a number of
times and never once failed to witness
the CLEAN Of the nasturtiums.
Numerous other flowers, many Of
which can be found in our gardens, are
discovered to be self luminous after ex-
posture to the strong, sustained light Of
the summer sun, for not only do groups
Of nasturtiums exhibit the phenome-
non, but the corolla of the common sun

The Omnipresent Rose,

Every continent on the globe, with
the exception Of Australia, produces
wild roses. There can be little doubt
that the rose is one Of the oldest flow
ers in the world, perhaps grown from
the wind blown seeds in paradise. In
Egypt it is depicted on numbers Of
early bas-reliefs, dating from 5000 to
$500 B. G. Rosewater, or the essence of
roses, is mentioned by Homer in the
'1liad,' and the flower is spoken Of in
the Proverbs of Solomon.
