I of this school and place them In an
other one or possibly go to a new place
altogether. She endeavors to make her
husband realize the disadvantage of
having no home of his own.
The disadvantage of the life he is
forcing his family to lead never really
dawns on him until misfortune, on ac-
count of it, strikes himself. If he has
hacking cough, his landlord, sus-
picious that he might be getting tuber-
culosis, raises his rent to such a figure
in order to get rid of him that he is
obliged to pack up. The same hack
ing cough is a decided hinurance with
other agents. They turn him down. He
realizes as he never did before what it
would mean to have home of his own
where he could cough at will, with no
one to interfere.
When a man weds and he has sue
ceeded in getting even q small start in
the world, it should be his ambition
to get home. If success attends his
business career, it is always an easy
matter to move from an unpretentiouS
home to a more commanding one. A
wise man knows that all the money he
pays out for rent is lost to him in the
after years. All that he invests in
home is laying up good investment
for the future. He can beautify it as
much as he will; make it a veritable
Eden. Children who grow up in an
atmosphere of their own home have
the love of home inculcated in them.
1t is sad enough to move about or
board where there are young sons. 1t
is sadder still if there are daughters
growing into womanhood.

Finds New Plants in China.

Many new fruits, flowers, vegetables
and trees, believed to be adaptable to
the United States, have been gathered
during a three-year expedition to
China made by Frank n. Meyer, plant
explorer of the department of agri-
culture. Mr.. Meyer went through GEN.
trail China 1,500 miles on foot to the
borders of Tibet, touching some Sec
tons never before visited by white
man. The most important discovery,
probably, was the jujuge tree, which
bears a heavy crop of brownish fruit,
delicious when fresh and forming
when dried a CONNECTION similar to the

Woman at the Gate.

Differences of opinion regarding the
meaning of the woman at the open
gate, on one of the new United States
silver pieces, are numerous. One wri-
ter has it that she is out looking for
the children who had promised not to
"stir from the yard" another that she
is looking for the coming man anoth-
er that she came out to see the new
furniture a neighbor across the road
is getting in, and so on. OF course,
what it really means is that, in this
progressive twentieth century woman
is emerging from cramped environment
into larger opportunity. There is elo-
quent symbolism in the woman at the
open gate.-Christian Science Monitor.
