they command such extraordinary

OF Little Value.
Aside from their beauty and great
popularity, however. the orchids have
little economic value. excepting a few
members Of the family for instance
the vanilla plant, from which the
popular extract is derived. Their
great beauty lies chiefly in the bril-
lance of color and the peculiar forms
Of leaves. petals and roots, which
make a most attractive display.
The discovery OF the many different
species and their development is due
in great part to the diligent search
that has been made by collectors of
these plants in all the countries of
the world for purposes of cultivation.
The paper Classics the orchids in
two general groups-terrestrial. those
which grow with their roots in the
ground; and epiphytes or air plants"
which grow on trees and shrubs. The
great majority are of this species and
in this group are included those of
the tropical clan. While these plants
grow on trees and shrubs, it is stated
! that they receive no nourishment
from them.
Some Species Hard to Grow.
And it is due this popularity that
so much difficulty was experienced in
growing successfully many of the
species when they were introduced
into Europe from Asia a2d Malaysia
in the 18th century. 1t isSointed out,
however, that a proper mode of cul-
tivation was perfected gradually
when it was realized that the con-
ditions under which they grew in ma
ture had TO be reproduced artificially
For most of the air plants" there
was deviced a plan of fastening the
roots to a piece of wood covered with
ROSS or peaty substance by means of
copper wire. Then the plants were
hung in warm greenhouses and kept

In Vienna the feeling of bitterness
is rapidly increasing, so much indeed
that il is a question how long it will
be possible TO keep it from asserting
itself in the press. Another defeat
and Austria would not only be willing
to conclude peace but even form an
alliance with Russia, if that country
will guarantee her continued nation
al independence after the war.
1t is utterly impossible to muzzle a
population like that of Vienna as you
may muZZle the more disciplined
Berliners. The Niennese now quite
loudly declare in cafes and every
where else that they were forced into
this disastrous war at a time when
there was every prospect of reaching
an understanding with Russia.
In Vienna, too, the hatred caused
by the war is directed specially
against Prussia, while there is little
or no bitterness at all against Bavaria,
which is considered also to have been
repeatedly used as a catspaw by the
kaiser whenever he wanted particu-
iarly dangerous work done.

Cotton Exports.
(New Orleans Correspondence New
York Post)

(New Orleans Correspondence New
York Post.)
There are sharp differences Of
opinion concerning the probable con-
tinuance Of the present outpouring of
cotton from the United States. One
group Of authorities is persistent in
predicting that exports are about to
fall off, and it's claims have been
given some consideration by the trade.
Another group is contending that not
until the movement toward the sea-
board let's up will there be any pros
pect Of smaller shipments to foreign
countries. This second group MAIN
tains that exports will continue large
for at least seven weeks more, and ex-
poets that the movement in March
will be the heaviest Of any month
this season. Cotton continues to leave
all ports in steady flow to Europe.
this weeks shipments being the Sec
ond largest Of the season. 1t would
seem as if spinners the world over
were realizing that it might be many
years before they could again buy
raw material over the bargain coun-
ter. The trade is now looking for the
total exports by April 1 to reach s.
100000 bales, and shipments for the
season to amount to 100000 bales.
against s,sS4,000 bales for the last sea-
son. Thus far, the seasons shipments
are 1900 900 bales behind 1914.

THE COLBY MUSICAL CLUBS
SCORE BIG HIT AT APPEAR
ANCE IN CITY OPERA HOUSE

With all Of originality, life and vi
vacity that would appeal to even the
most exacting connoisseur Of Bos-
ton audience, the Colby College Mu-
steal Clubs came, conquered and left
the City Opera house Friday evening.
The old grads" who have seen and
known Colby Musical Clubs for dec
AIDES shook their heads in silent admi
ration when talent that hailed from
almost every corner of New England
contributed to a program that would
have reflected credit upon an organ
ization Of professionals. There was a
little something for every taste. The
classics had due prominence with or
chestrai renditions. Mr.. Latin with
his violin solos added much to the
finesse of the program by his wonder
full execution; touch and expression.
Few Colleges in New England could
offer a superior orchestra to the one
that Colby has. 1t played as unit,
measure for measure and beat for
beat, falling into the rhyme of diff
cult movements as readily as the
easier ones. The Mandolin CLUB put
itself in d more conspicuous place
than ever. The arrangement of pop
ular airs by Gilbert Is. made an i'm
preston that called for encores. Har-
old G. Scott made his first Waterville
appearance with the clubs as reader
His selections, picked, no doubt, with
view of bringing out his exceptional
talents, we'll served their ends.
An instrumental trio of Norman
Latin violin. Hugh S. Pratt cello, and
Ellsworth Prince piano, gave a group
of classic selections that would have
withstood the analysis of musical
critics. winthrop Webb as vocal So

as a choir singer, won additional

To His Mother.
(Youth's Compauion.l

(Youths Companion.)
In France the relation between a son
and his mother Is very sweet and tender
Even the boys of the least cultivated
class show an almost invariable courtesy
and unselfishness to their mothers.
| was in Paris during the first two
months of the present war. writes Mrs
Lillian Hayden Hieston to The Compan-
ion, and a woman who worked for me
spoke often of her only child, boy, who
was in one of the very first regiments
ordered to the front. / have never seen
anything SO sweet as the letters he wrote
to her to allay her fears. l am sending
you the last one he wrote; borrowed it
Of her that 1 might copy it. In tranlat-
ing it literally I have kept much Of the
charm Of the original.
Little Mother So Dearly Loved. Thy
boy is gay and joyous as the birds that
sing. Dost thou hear that, little one
Thou Must not worry, not in the very
least, my mother. Indeed thou canst
not imagine how happy We have been nor
what delicious things we have to eat
We caught rabbit to put in our stew
and We found potatoes in field. Thy
boy grows fat, my mother! why shouldst
thou worry? Thou must not mourn when
We are laughing. Give to all the friends
my loving greeting, and thou. dear heart
look not for letters. 1t is so seldom that
we can write. Remember that I am S; lie
and that l love thee.
Il send thee a thousand kisses and I
am thy son."
This letter sent to the mother by a COM
rade of her son, had been written on a
scrap of paper with a pencil while he
was in the trenches, before the engage
inent in which he lost his life. He said
nothing of the horror and the bloodshed,
nothing of his own WEAKNESS and dread.
nothing of the agony and cruelty and
death that he had seen. He wrote only
what he knew would reassure and COM
fort her.
The letter did strangely comfort the
lonely. Borrowing mother. 1t made her
forget the war and think of her boy as a
gay and laughing child again. There had
been no funeral She had not seen him
dead. His joyous written words were far
more real to her than what she knew Of
his death. His loving thought had lifted
her into that realm OF the spirit in which
there is no death.

Nelson's electric warning at Trafalgar:
England expects every man to do his
duty" ard then win an undying victory
and meet his own death.
No other soldier or sailor, however,

And no one is really more impression
