For the Arbor and TrelliS That
 Are the Apple of Your Eye. Prepared by the U. s. department
 Of agriculture.
 THE character of the foliage \ and hardness should be im- portant considerations in choOS- ing types of climbing roses for covering arbOrs, trellises, pergo- las, pillars and similar struc- lures. Roses used In this way are usually in conspicuous places, and flowers can be de- pended on for ornamental et- fleets for a relatively short pe- riod only during the year. Climb ing roses with a poor leaf de- velopment or those especially lia- ble to attack by insects and dis eases therefore make but a poor appearance.
 The climbing roses are divided roughly into two divisions by farmers bulletin 750, roses for the home, recently issued by the United States department of ag- riculture. The pillar roses are those not growing more than six or eight feet high. The more vigorously growing roses of the group are the climbers or ram' blers.
 Of the trellis and arbor roses the members of the wichuraiana or memorial group are among those most resistant to disease and insect attack. They have foliage pleasing to the eye throughout practically all sea sons. The blossoms are white and single. The muldAora climbers flower in clusters. Many of them, however, espe- cially the so called ramblers, are subject to mildew and insect at- taCks. They are reasonably hardy in the north. Roses of the laevigata group. represented by the Cherokee, on the other hand, require a warm climate. This Is true also of the roses of the climbing Noisette group, repre- sented by the Marechal Mel and Lamarque. These roses are suitable for culture only in the warmer sections, where the win ter temperature seldom falls be- low 10 degrees F. above zero.

No kidney trouble Is unimportant. Don't overlook the sIightest back ache or urinary irregularity. Nature may be warning you of approach ing drcpsy, gravel or Bright's dis ease.

That person who knows nothing else of the starry universe knows that Of the fixed stars Sirius, of Canis Ma for, Is to us by far the most brilliant. We owe the dazzle Of Sirius to the fact that it is one of our nearest solar neighbors, it's distance being only about 5O,OOO. 900, 100000 miles. Yet if seen from the same distance as our sun 1t would be thirty times as bright. It is held by some astronomers that it in- fuences to some extent our solar sys- tem and that we and some of the stars nearest to us are a group of which Sirius may be the chief.-PittsburgE Dispatch.

LOOK SUCCESSFUL

To be successful you must look sue cesSful If you will carry yourself with a self confident air 1t inspires others with the belief in your ability and your success. You get to believe in 1t yourself. You begin to walk as if you were master of yourself. You will believe in your ability to do things, and you are confident of results.
 It does not take a keen observer to pick out a successful dealer. If he Is prosperous every step, every move ment. every look, indicates it. There Is a great deal in assuming the part of the character you desire to play in this drama of life.
 There is nothing negative about the positive man. He Is a success, and, like Hercules, he has conquered the moment he looks upon you. This Is personal magnetism. Cultivate 1t, then you will not need bOlstering up. Learn to stand alone Your very silence should carry power. Learn the value Of reserve force.
 Self confidence is the power to mar shal all the faculties and unite their strength in one mighty cable. It mat ters not what your talents may be. what your abilities or ambition may be. if you are lacking in self confidence you can never use them to the best ad- vantage. Self trust is as necessary as ability.
 Concentrate your facilities and your good qualities. Carry yourself with & self confident air and you will win still more confidence. Failure or success has Its true worth in these two little words, T can't" or T will" Look successfu,,-Author Unknown.

Water or any other liquid cannot flow from a bottle in q steady stream because until the bottle is empty there is a continuous struggle between the tendency of the liquid to fall from the bottle and the rushing of the air to get in. When a full bottle without cork Is turned upside down there will be an alternate realization of two operations, the liquid to follow the attraction of gravitation and the air to obey its nat, ural impulse to fill a void.-Exchange.
