SPIRIT OF THE GARDEN.

Il Voices the Human Sense Of Accunsu-
lated Beauty.
When all is said, gardens are but
expressions Of sentiment, the outward
manifestation of human hearts which
bloom with perennial love and flower
with sympathy and kindly thought.
Love of gardens is an instructive sense;
lacking it, appreciation cannot be In
stilled because, as Bovee wrote, the
beauty seen is partly In him who secs
It The beautiful meaning Of flowers
does not have to be told to little chill
dren. They are gifted with divine In
telligence in knowing that flowers are
Gods thoughts of beauty taking form
to gladden. the mortal gaze; bright
gems of earth, In which perchance we
see what Eden was, what paradise
may be-"
perhaps no word of six letters con-
centrates so much human satisfaction
as the word garden" declares a great
poet Of our own day, Richard LIE Gal
lienne. Not accidentally, indeed, did
the inspired writer make paradise a
garden, and still today, when a man
has found all the rest of the world van
fly, he ~retires into his garden. When
man needs just one word to express In
rich and poignant symbol his sense Of
accumulated beauty and blessedness
his first thought Is Of a garden. The
saint speaks Of the garden Of God
The word heaven is hardly more uni
versally expressive Of happiness than
the word garden"
The garden is the voice of nature call
ing to her children who have strayed
far af1eld It is not a loud waiting, ar
dculate voice; It Is like the still. small
voice of conscience.
And as Keats expressed It, Heard
melodies are sweet, but those unheard
are sweeter." And there at once Is
the voice and spirit OF the gardsn.-

their name, is still in the hospital, he
was wounded in February, 1916, at
Verdun, lay three days in a shell hole
and when rescued his leg was so badly
infected that they had to disarticulate
at the hip. He has had six operations
and the last report is not good. Down
in Busy, where they live, l have found
a number of families of refugees aud of
repatriees as they call the ones from
the invaded territory who have been
allowed by the Germans to come away,
one family, where the father is a pris-
oner, there are six small children; the
government allows them something so
thai they have rented two rooms-they
have one chair and one saucepan.
There are four other families with four

GETTING TOGETHER. .

 Ian Hay" whose book, "The First Hun- dred Thousand" was one of the first mo- mentous literary contributions of the present wartimes, comes now with an other small book in size, but huge in it's mission and which he calls Getting Together"
 Getting Together is sincere and fine spirited effort to explain any misunder- standings between the citizens of Great Britain and the United States and try to get the two countries to "get together ln mutual understanding.
 American and British readers alike will applaud Ian Hays straightforward meth ods and his nearnest manner and his book Will no doubt be fruitful of much good. The author opens his first chapter with a pleasant compliment for the average Americans amazing instinct for public affairs, and the quickness and vitality with which he fastens on and investigates every topic of live interest" Then he goes on to the consideration of some of the causes of friction in Anglo-American relations and feeling over the war, such as the methods of the allies enforcement

 We all have ideas concerning the luck or i'll luck, which go with certain stones; rings, too, through history have drawn to themselves a vast amount of symbolic and talismanic lore. Often the peculiar form of the circlet was supposed to have a certain virtue, but more often pc culiar quality depended upon some curl ous engraved device, upon the stones set in them, or upon a mystic or religious in- scription.
 Rings of famous men and women of the past and present days will always be of interest as mementoes if for noth- ing more. The rings of savage people such as the Navajoes of New Mexico must always interest the antiquarian and those who delve into folklore How rings are made by our jewellers of today, more especially by the accurate and varied mechanical methods now employed for their production, is but another of the great number of subjects upon which Dr. Kunz touches, authoritatiyely, en- gagingly.

 RINGS FOR THE FINGER.
 By George Frederic Kunz, Ph. D., Sc. D.,
 A. M With illustratio J. B. Lippin-
 colt company, publishers, Philadelphia.
 Erudte lore of bewitching interest is here offered in a readable text supported by a collection of excellent illustra tions. There is presented everything of impor- tance and interest in regard to finger rings from the earliest times to the pres ent, with full descriptions of the origin, early making, materials, archaeology, and history of rings, for tokens of affection, love and betrothal, and eccesia stical, of ficial and class insigna.
 When Jupiter relented and liberated Prometheus in order to avoid a violation of the original judgment it was ordained that the Titan should wear a link of his chain on one of his fingers as ring and in this ring was set a fragment of the rock in which he had been chained. so that he might still be regarded as bound to the Caucasian rock. It is a far cry indeed from that nythological ring to that embodiment of the skill of the mod ern goldsmith and jeweler, the little circlet which today. and every day, the lady receives from her lover Yet this field of romance and history is covered in a manner fascinating and delightful by Dr. Kunz.
 One of the earliest uses to which rings were put was for the impression of an engraved design or device upon letters or documents, as the sign manuel of the wearer. From the time of the ancient Egyptians. this use prevailed in various parts of the world, and allied to these and in some cases identical with them, are the rings given as marks of official dignify and rank. It is proper that espe- cial attention be devoted to the rings bestowed upon and worn by the higher ecclesiastics. The usage of wearing rings of this type dates far back in the his tory of Christianity and the rings of the popes, cardinals. bishops, abbots and nuns form fertile and rewarding field of investigation.
 Closely connected with these religious rings are the bethrothal and wedding rings. It will interest you to know that in early times there was no sharp line of demarcation between engagement and wedding rings. very full selection of

of their blockade of Germany, the Brit sh censorship, and the attitude of the British people toward Americans. He imagines an average American" and an average Britisher" talking these and other matters over with frankness and each explaining to the other the attitude and purposes of his government and the feeling of his countrymen
 In the matter of the blockade he re- minds us of the one this country estab- lished against southern ports during the civil war, and, while admitting that Brit lsh ships gave us a good deal of trouble in those days by trying constantly to pierce our cordon while we were fighting not only for our existence, but also for the greatest ideal men ever fought for, he thinks that we ought to forgive the pest-as of course we ought-and acqui- esce in whatever inconvenience the pres ent blockade causes us But for British reading Captain Beith might very well amplfy that portion of his book which treats of this question, quoting a few historical facts and comparing them with the general spirit in America concerning the present blockade. It is something his people very much need for the strengthen ing of their point of view.
 Captain Beith recognizes that America is more broadly than pro-Britsh. and endeavors to explain. as part of his "get together mission. why this is so. Thus. he tells us that the possession of joint tongue by our two nations has done lit- tie for them. but to "give convenient medium too often for shrewdish alterca- ton. coupled with the conviction of each aide that the other is unable to speak correct English His American readers will heartily join in his conclusions that this nonsense must stop.
 The book ends with some altogether ex cellent and sensible advice to his "aver age American and leverage Briton' as to several truths which each of them ought always to bear in mind. And there is a very earnest plea to both that each should help his nation to work in har- mony with the other for the furthering of the good of all the world Altogether
 it is little book of such high import and such fine spirit that it deserves the widest reading in both America and Britain

Grow More Cover Crops

The Rural New Yorker has started a. Cover Crop campaign with an edi- toria1 calling for. 3,000,00o acres of cover crops in New York State this fall "A bare cornfield should be looked upon as evidence of poor farming or some big misfortune"
 Rural Life says: "Aroostook county, away down east in Maine is the lead ing potato producing county in the United States. In it's deep, mellow, ash like soil are produced enormous crops. This is accomplished by the liberal use of commercial fertilizers. The re- cords show that during the twelve months ending June 1st, 1916 the Ban gor and Aroostook Railway hauled in- to the county, 67,000 tons of fertilizer and for the eleven months ending May 1917, 8 total of 92. GOO tons of fertilizer, and this does not include the heavy shipments made during May.
 "Aroostook farmers keep their soil well filled with humus by green man. uring, therefore the crop is able to utilize large quantities of fertilizer to advantage"
 With manure becoming more scarce and expensive each year successful farmers must turn to green manure crops. It has been demonstrated time and again that farmers can maintain fertility with green manure and. fer tilizer, and never feel the loss of ma nure. Why continue in the face of this to feed the profits of the farm into the COW in the hope of getting them back from the manure. Keep cows for the profit on milk and butter, but don't stand loss on the milk because you
