his subject being. Youth the Period
OF Attainment He first spoke in glow
ing terms OF The benefits of a Sunday
School convention. saying these meet
inss are Of inexpressible and meal

Atkins then stated a man should spend

Language Of WindmiIls.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead of being recorded in
the newspapers, are indicated by
windmills. When the miller gets mar
ried, he stops his mill with the arms
of the wheel in slanting position,
and with the sails unfurled. His
friends and guests frequently do like
wise with their mills, in token of the
ceremony. To indicate birth, the
wheel is stopped in slanting posi-
ton, but at more acute angle than
that of marriage and with the two
upper sails unfurled. Should miller
die, the sails of the mill are all I'M
furled, and the wheel is turned around
until the arms form an upright cross,
lin which position they are left until
after the funeral takes place.

Cardboard Replaces Wood.

Because of their many advantages
over wooden boxes in the shipment of
small articles, corrugated cardboard
boxes are rapidly replacing the former.
Although the cardboard boxes are
strong enough to withstand heavy pres
sures, they weigh considerably less
than a wooden one of the same size,
hence they effect an appreciable saving
in express or freight charges. Further
more, the cardboard boxes, because
they can be folded fiat and stored in
that shape until used, occupy little
space. AS typical example, it is re-
ported that 5000 cardboard boxes
have been stored in space which for
merly accommodated but 260 wooden
boxes of the same capacity.-Scientific

War Makes New Economies.

War is producing some queer econo-
mics. The Italians, who are fighting
above the snowline find wood scarce
and fires a rarity. Their difficulties
have aroused the scouts to action.
They visit every house, collect the
waste paper, and then hand it over to
the girls collected in central sta
ton. These girls, working under the
eye of a teacher spread the sheets
fiat and feed them into a machine
which rolls them tightly into roll of
about an inch in diameter. But they
are too long for use, SO a chopping
machine worked by hand produces as a
final result, little tight rolls about two
inches long. These can be dropped
into a knapsack, and when fire is
wanted three or four are taken out.
placed on the ground, lit, and enough
heat is generated to warm thoroughly

EngIand's First Scientist.

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon, who died 621 years ago,
The exact date of his birth is I'M
known, but it is believed that this year
marks the Tooth anniversary. He was
prosecuted and condemned and much
of his work destroyed, so that the ex.
tent of his discoveries cannot be def
initely known. 1t is certain that he
was centuries ahead of his ignorant
and credulous times in chemistry,
mathematics and mechanics. Branded
as a magician, he was thrown into
prison. From 1877 until short time
before his death Bacon was immured
in a filthy cell. He is said to have In
vented the camera obscura.

FAyoRITE ROSES
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYsEN.

By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN.
There is absolutely nothing in the
realm of esthetic culture that is so
thoroughly dominated by personal IA
vor as the selection of pet rose.
Every lover of the garden and of the
home beautiful selects favorite rose
almost as soon as the interest of flower
culture is born.
have been much interested in the
seasons favorites and the reasons
given by rose enthusiasts for their
likes and dislikes. They offer to the
student and the culturist valuable
hints in the care and selection of any
favorite, because what one may find as
an argument for his pet blossom may
be equally true in any number of cases
and many of my readers may be able
readily to meet the claims advanced by
others and find equal merit for their
own selections.
The delicate formation, coloring and
perfume of the rose all combine to
raake it's study especially worth while.
Intelligent choice of a favorite often
marks the flower-lover as gifted-and
a selection that does not follow popular
fancy always reveals an amateur who
Is not superficial. For instance, the
enthusiasts are now experimenting
with the Gruss aus Teplitz, a love-
" hybrid tea, to find out how well
1t will stand the winter in northern
climates. Personally, / think that the
rose is sufficiently hardy to stand any
thing save an unusually cold zone. 1t
has the advantage, too, of being pro-
life producer of blooms. From May
until November the raiser of the pretty
tea rose is rarely without some sweet
evidence of the possession.
It can be planted in the sunshine or
in the shade, under hanging trees or
in the open, and a little severe pruning
in the early spring is about all that
the delicate rose demands. There is
something in the rose that binds the
present to the past, and one feels like
fhe owner of rare old bit of period
furniture when it forms part of the
garden.
Those who do not believe the an
Gent adage that every rose must have
it's thorns are showing much Partially
this year for the Paul Neyron. Every
month it produces its flowers, with the
blossoms on long stems and leaves OF
a beautiful dark green. If cut when
in bud, the flowers have remarkable
lasting quality. AS said, it is almost
thornless, and it's flower develops near
