Not Encouraoino.

Mr.. Taft, ex-president of the United
States, is a gifted writer, and at one
time he had a high reputation as a
poet, says London Tit-Bits. On one oc.
casion, however, when he was a very
young man, he received a nasty shock
from an esteemed relative of his.
This was an aunt who lived in the
country, and the future president went
to dine with her one Sunday evening.
Proudly he carried with him some cut.
tings from a newspaper-nothing less.
In fact, than his own published verses.
After the meal he took them exultant.
ly from his pocket and gave them to
his aunt to read.
Adjusting her spectacles, she went
through them carefully. while her
poetical nephew watched her anxious
~. Presently she put down the cut-
tings and glanced over her spectaclss
at the poet.
William" she asked, i~nnocent.v,

Garden plants in History.

Which is the oldest flower In our
gardens? The question was raised
owe our dahlia blooms, which like the
fuchsia, come originally from Mexico.
The first plants to appear here were
grown at Holland house from seed sent
home by Lady Holland from Spain in
1879. In the previous year Sir Joseph
Ranks introduced the h%ydrangea. The
fuchsia had then been known among
us already for close on a century. A
further turning up of authorities dis
covered that the tulip (from the Le-
vant) was introduced about 1850, about
which time, by the way, the horse
chestnut reached us from Asia and
the lilac from Persia. Some forty
years before that had come the dam
ask rose, simultaneously, among the
trees, with the larch. The Oldest
claimant with a recorded date seemed
to be the crocus. 1t arrived from the
far East in 1339.-London Chronicle.

NIGHTS BEAUTY is HIDDEN
Few Artists Have Been Given the
Ability to Depict Its Proper
Glory and Majesty.

One of the perpetual regrets OF
painters is the u~nattainable beauty of
night. Whistler's successful Noe
turnes are of early twilight.
The later hour, when the worlds
vast shadow weighs on us, seems I'M
realizable in paint.
Even Crome, perhaps the greatest
master of nightfall pictures, could not
go beyond the twilight.
The perfect medium for darkness
was discovered by Turner, whose set
of engraved Moonlights are among the
most precious works that man has
made.
There are but about a dozen en-
graved and printed by the master.
They so far transcend his colored
drawings, from which they were de-
rived, as to prove that black and
white can %conjure up the spirit OF
night more potently than color.
But they are not ordinary mezzo
tints; they are creative rather than
reproductive; no one but Turner could
have done them, nor could he have
communicated their secret to his en-
gravers.

New Ears for New Music.

Few laymen appreciate to what an
extent musical esthetics is a matter
OF psychology. We ordinarily assume
that music expresses" by some di-
vine charm, that the composer who
signs of love has discovered" the
proper musical statement of loves
emotion. But musical materials are
not discovered; they are manufac-
tured. 1t is by habit and repetition,
not by intuition, that we come to ac-
cept chords of dissonance. The major
and minor third of the old music is
very sweet because it is very ia
miliar. The new bald colors of fu-
turist music are ugly because they
are strange. Our ears contain little
formulas, 81 to speak, for the chords
and scales that have been ground
into our consciousness by frequent
hearings. When we hear a new piece
of music it must agree with them to
some degree, else we feel uncom-
Portable. Now, these formulas,
though they thrive on variation, hate
negation. So if the new music me-
gates them entirely, as futurist mu-
sic does, there is no entente possible.
Our ears will not serve our purpose.
We must become familiar with the
new style.-The New Republic.

Have a Pleasant Kitchen.

The kitchen in most farm houses
is generally a very unattractive place,
and yet it should not be. This room
is the one place in the house that
should be the lightest, brightest, and
most attractive, as it is here that
the housewife spends the greatest
part of her busy hours.
In too many cases, the kitchen is
not well lighted, and the colors chosen
for paper and paint are anything but
bright and cheerful. The effect can
not be anything but depressing to
one who spends much time in a room
Of this sort day after day; nor are the
surroundings conducive to cheerful
ness to the other members Of the
family. So often we hear girls and
their mothers express themselves
about kitchen work as though it were
the most despicable drudgery. Beau
tiful surroundings will naturally beau
tify the task.

HOLY GRAIL MERELY LEGEND
Green Crystal Vase Found by Baldwin
in Ruins OF cesarea Is Only
So Called. i,

Few places are more absolutely
sites of the past han Cesarea. Some
has spoken OF the remains of it's
ancient glory as the ruin of ruins"
The medieval town which vas twice
rebuilt by the Crusaders covered
scarcely a tenth of the area occupied
by the city as st. Paul knew it, and
the ruins that we see today are chiefly
the relics of the medieval city, which
was itself built out Of the ruins of
the ancient city.
What a rich quarry Cesarea has
been for other city builders is shown
by the fact that, though it has been
drawn upon for all these centuries
for marble and granite and sandstone,
it is NOT yet absolutely exhausted, but
still affords building material for the
peasants of the vicinity.
The green crystal vase which was
found here when Baldwin !, the great
Crusader, captured the city at the be-
ginning of the twelfth century, says
the Christian Herald, gave rise to the
story of the Holy Grail, which has in
spired 81 many legends and poems,
for Baldwin and his followers believed
that it was the one that was used at
the Last Supper by our Lord, when
he gave his disciples the cup of wine
and said: Drink We all of it; this do
in remembrance of me-"

KEEP OUT OF FAMILY ROWS
Outsider Never Can Understand the
Feelings That Have Actuated h
Participants Therein.

Only hardy persons dare to mix
themselves up in quarrels with a view
to effecting reconciliations. Some
times they are actuated by a noble de
sire for peace, mitigated, no doubt, by
a wish to be in the thick Of any inter
esting situation.
Sometimes also they do good
when the quarrel is not a family at
fair. From such a quarrel friends, &C
quaintances and even ''in-law" rela-
tives had better stand aside, not so
much lest the fate of the rash person
who i%nterposes befall them, but lest
they make the breach worse.

Judge of the seriousness of wounds

TRULY A WONDERFUL THING
Remarkable Instances of the Instinct
of Homing Pigeons Told by
Two veracious Citizens.

The following should be appreciated
by our friend the angler, who must
be weary of having his statements
doubted.
At the monthly meeting of a certain
homing society one of the members
related an interesting experience. He
had, he said, recently sold a couple
Of "squeakers"-very young pigeons
to a nan whose cote was 200 miles
away. He sent them off by train, and
was astounded to find them back in
the old cote g. couple of days later.

Its a strange coincidence, that's all.
I sold the very same man a sitting of
eggs in the middle of June. Before
the end of the month those birds had
Matched out and had flown back to
me! Homing instincts a wonderful
thing!"

A bank account is the ammunition
needed by every worker in the battle
for a livelihood. And this kind of pre-
paredness a have no opponents.
Those who are at the front of the
fight for a living must have further
supplies to depend on than just those
on their persons at present. There
must be a source of supply to be
drawn on in case of need.
Workers, you should prepare your
selves toward the time of need.
Whatever may be the national policy,
preparedness should be your personal
policy. Safety first" must be your
motto, and there is no safety in liv-
ing from week to week, just waiting
from one day to another. Your only
safety lies in having some money put
by for that rainy day. which may

TRAGEDIES CAUSED BY lov.
Many Cases on Record Of Ruinec LIVES
Women as Well as Men Have
Been Affected.

Love troubles have been the cause Of
many curious actions on. the part Of
men and women who have suffered dis
appointment in that direction. A curl
Gus house owned by Doctor Picnic of
London was in a class by itself, it's tx
terror being ornamented with gilt
statues. 1t was built by the doctor for
his prospective bride who died a few
hours before she was to have been
married. In the extensive grounds,
too, masses of carved stone could be
seen. The house. shut off from the
world, was furnished just as it was OF
the fatal wedding day. Some of its
windows were boarded, others covered
by common sacking. 1t remained a
mystery house until the DOCTORS death
at the age Of over ninety, a few years
ago.
Women as well as men have become
hermits when loves young dream has
come to an untimely enc. In the eigh-
teenth century there died a
who had not left her room for 80 years,
owing to a love disappointment, and
just a few years later a similar case
vas brought to light. In the second in.
stance the lady had vowed that she
would never see the light of the SUI
again." owing to being Tilted in love.
She religiously kept her vow, living in
a darkened room till the end of her
days.
This country has produced martyrs
on the altar of blighted affection. For
more than twenty years an old fellow
shut himself up in a miserable room in
Pittsburgh, At last, when it was de-
cided that he should be arrested On
the ground of insanity, it required the
united strength of four %constables to
secure him.
The police, on searching his house.
were astonished to find thousands of
dollar notes. The CRATE was filled with
silver dollars, the furniture was stuffed
with them, whilst jars and bottles were
filled to the brim with money. So
much wealth was found that a wagon
had to be brought to convey it to the
bank. where it was found to amount
to over $50. 600.

Roosevelt feels - though
he may not admit II publicly
that he has been tricked.
He probably will not say so
openly, but he is not good at
hiding his feelings, and I find
RoOsevelt's disappointment
i'm Hughes an open secret at
both party headquarters
here.
Roosevelt feels that he did not
step aside for Hughes in order
that the ex-justice might inaugur-
ate a "swat-the-fly" campaign.
He stepped aside because
Hughes agreed to accept teh issue
Roosevelt had made for him-the
issue of Amerieanism-and be-
cause Roosevelt, believed can
didae standing for this issue could
defeat Wilson.
He considered the defeat OF
Wilson a patriotic duty.
Now, the Roosevelt follow
ing feel that their sacrifice
has been In vain and that
Wilson will probably he re-
elected anyhow.
Naturally, Roosevelt is bitterly
disappointed. He took the Hughes
statement made after the repub-
lican nomination at its face value.
The repetition of it in a milder
form in Hughes letter of accept
ance he made the most of, but
when Hughes had travelled from
New York to San Francisco with
out a mention of the Roosevelt
issues or an allusion to the Ger
man-American alliance, the
colonel began to realize that
Hughes and his Old Guard back
ing had accepted the issue in the
nominal and technical manner
only, anG had not intended to
carry out its spirit.
Hughes. In fact, has been TAX
ing HIS real advice from the
cock-Wilcox-Penrose old
Guard.
So Roosevelt decided to show
Hughes and the republican cam.
paign managers what he thinks a
candidate ought to talk about.
He thereupon sat down and
wrote his Maine speech which was
delivered in Lewiston Aug. 81, in
which he did not mention the Du-
rand case. or the appointment OF
K. Lester Jones, or talk about
Myron T. Herrick and the en-
bassy at Paris.
Instead he repeated all the
