asked myself the question-"What
part in life have you
To declare the truth of the Bible, and
make the Gospel sure?"
The Spirit of God made answer, as
to me He seemed to say;
Some little brown earth, and little
round seed, united their strength
one day.
From that union of strength and la
Dor, a rose bush fresh and green,
That had fought for life and exist
ence, appeared upon the scene.
With the aid of ministering fingers,
the sunshine, the rain and the
dew,
This rose bush grew stronger and
stronger, till life was made real
and true.
The trembling dew-drops from heav-
en-, from its branches and foliage
hung,
Till kissed in holy wedlock, by the
early morning sun.
There was born of this union, rose
bud, that grew to rose divine,
A thing of fragrance and beauty, my
words can never define.
II answered my queStion--thiS rose
bud, fresh from the Hand above,
Whose mission in life was giving,
whose mission in life was love.
If you wish to be happy, contented
and know what it is to live,
Go TO the poor and needy, help them,
love them, give.
May we get lesson from the rose
bud-take notice what it has
done;
You will find il used as a token for
two hearts that beat as one.
Follow il into the sick room, per-
chance as you linger awhile,
You will see how its fragrance and
beauty change sadness into a
smile.
Follow it with the mourners to the
new made grave on the hill;
In silence it speaks of Gods mercy, !
to the troubled heart ''Be still.
The rosebud's mission is ended, we
bid it farewell with sigh,
We find in the Good Book written,
"All men some day must die. "
If the flowers God made have their
mission, you and | must have the
same,
Let us work while we may have
something to say, and do what
we can in His name.
Is life sweeter because we live, or is !

"Yes, but you're going with me,
and keep the little home down there"
, smiled Margaret.
"No," persisted the other firmly.
"Pve seen your father starve painting
pictures, and watched him die of dis
appointment. I'm not going through 1t
again."
! There seemed to be something final
In these last words, and the girl felt
it would be useless to urge the matter
any further. She could not leave her
mother, as she was her sole support.
But she could not give up her dream.
Some time it must come true. After
a while she said: "But all artists don't
starve. There's your cousin, Alton Fa-
Der, they say he's rich, may be he
would help me to-"
"No, he wouldn't" snapped Mrs. Ty-
son, 'Why didn't he help your fa-
Their? Cousins aren't any good"
So Margaret said no more. She went
faithfully to her daily grind, and spent
her spare time sketching everything
she saw, without instruction of any
kind.
One day after she had returned from
her work a man came to the door ask
ing for something to eat. He was
an elderly man, clean and respectable
looking, and Margaret's sympathy was
aroused.
I'm sorry" she said. 81 haven't any
change, but can give you some bread
or something"
He thanked her. and glanced around
the kitchen of the little home. as he
stood at the open door.
MAY / sit down minutef" he
asked 81 am very tired"
"why, yes" said Margaret, notion
ing to a chair. Her mother was not
home, and she even dared to make
hot cup of tea, and set out plain but
dainty little lunch for the man.
'Tm-pot used to begging" he said.
"but l had my pocket picked at the
station. 1 have come quite a distance
on the train, and I must walk quite
a long way to reach friend"
His voice and manner were those OF
a gentleman. and Margaret looked
wonderlngly at him. She saw he had
stopped eating, and was gazing at a
little charcoal sketch she had pinned
up on the wall.
"Who did thatf" he asked.
Margaret admitted that she had.
It was a study of her mother in the
act Of rolling out pie crust.
''Pretty good drawing" he OBJ
served. "But that right arm is triie
out"
"Oh then you know
"a little" hs broke In dryly.
Then Margaret told him how she had
never had any instruction. how much
she wanted II. and somehow she found
herself growing confidential about the
dear dream OF her life 10 this entire
stranger. She asked him II he knew

, She told him Mr.. Faber was a second
cousin. He did not seem to show
any great interest In the disclosure,
but gave his attention 10 his cup of
tea. As he rose to go he thanked his
entertainer courteously, and the next
moment was gone.
Mrs. Tyson saw the stranger as he
went out.
"Who was thatf" she asked. 81 only
saw his back"
Margaret explained.

Margaret took her scoldlng quietly.

About two weeks after this Margaret
received a letter bearing the New
York postmark. II was from Alton
Faber saying that IL she would come
and see him, bringing some Of her
sketches, he might be able to help her
to study. A check for the railroad fare
to New York and back was inclosed.
Mrs. Tyson nearly collapsed In her
establishment.

Then Margaret confessed that over
three weeks ago she had written to Al
ton Faber telling him of her ambition,
and asking his advice.

money back" advised her mother.
"You1l lose two or three days, and 1t
won't amount to anything"
But Margaret was determined to go,
and mentioned that the man had said
Faber's pictures were good.
"Ohl" cried Mrs. Tyson. 81 see 1t all !
You talked to that man about going to
New York, and this is just one of
those awful plots to lure you down
there to your ruin. 1 should think
you had heard enough about this
white slave business not to fall into
this snare. How do you know this let
ter is from Alton Faber. You wouldn't
know him if you saw him"
Margaret had to admit there was
some groundwork for her mothers sus-
piciOns, and her heart sank. But she
did not send the check back, and at
last got her mother to consent to go
with her.
Mrs. Tyson at once recognized her
relative In his spacious studio, but
Margaret stood speechless with amaze
ment. She saw before her the tramp
she had entertained in her kitchen.
"You see," he explained, 81 hate

answer.

So Margaret's dream came true.

To avoid trichinosis. no form of
pork in the raw state, including dried
or smoked sausages and hams. should
be eaten. All pork used as food
should be cooked thoroughly. If this
is done the value or wholesomeness of
the meat for food purposes is not i'm
paired by the fact that the parasites
were present in it.
According to specialists Of the De-
partment of Agriculture. trichinae die
when subjected to a temperature of
about 1400 f. All products containing
pork which are prepared to be sold as
cooked products in Establishments
operating under Federal meat inspec-
ton are required to be cooked suf-
ficiently to insure a temperature high
enough to destroy trichinae through
out all portions of the meat. Likewise.
in order to protect consumers who are
careless or ignorant of the danger OF
raw pork products of kinds prepared
customarily to be eaten without cook
ing. such as certain kinds of hams. and
summer sausage. must be manufac-
tured in accordance with methods
which, it has been determined. destroy
the vitality of any trichinae which
may be present in the pork. 1t has
been found by Investigations in tho
Bureau of Animal Industry that if
pork Is subjected to n temperature not
higher than 50 f. for 20 days the
vitality Of all trichinae Is DESTROYED
This is one method of safeguarding
pork products that are to be eaten
without cooking Other methods fol-
lowed in esta blishments operating un-
der Federal meat inspection consist in
curing and drying the products ac-
cording to certain rules which the
manufacturers are required to follow.
Although products that are specially
prepared for eating uncooked and bear
the mark OF Federal inspection. may
be used With safety, the custom OF
eating raw pork is not to be encour-
aNd In any case il should be re-
membered that fresh pork or ordinary
cured ork products are not safe as
food unless properly cooked.

There Is always the possibility thai
illness me follow the eating of porh
that is raw or not thoroughly cooked
The danger is greatest at this season
of the year, when many people prepare
for home consumption various food
products that are customarily eaten
without cooking. More of these home
made products are prepared at hog
killing time on the farm than at any
other time.
American people a. a rule prefer
cooked pork. but there are many who,
perhaps unknowingly. consume pork
in an uncooked condition, either in the
form of raw ham or uncooked sau
sages. In many localities considerable
amounts of these products are made
up and consumed at home. or dis
tributed throughout h neighborhood.
Large quantities of pork products in
tended to be eaten raw are also pre-
pared commercially.
Why Raw Pork Causes Illness.
The disease known as trichinosis,
which may result from eating raw
pork, is caused by certain round
worms, called trichinae. These are
microscopic in size and infest the flesh
of hogs. The prevalence of trichinae
in hogs is indicated by the fact /that
during nine years, 1S9S-1906, when
the arcasse of hogs were inspected
microscopiefaly by Federal inspectors.
of 10000 O0 so inspected,
1.41 per cent contained living trichinae
and 1.16 per cent contained trichina-
like bodies or di~siDtegrating trichinae.
In other words and in round numbers,
trichinae were present in l out of II
hogs, and If the presence of dead
trichinae and trichina-like bodies is
included. in l out of every SO hogs.
Unlike many other infectious dis
eases, the severity of an attack Of
trichinos.S depends upon the number
of parasites swallowed. Large quaint.
ties Of slightly infested pork must be
eaten in order to produce appreciable
effects. II severe illness follows the
eating of a small amount of the meat,
the pork must hav been heavily in
tested.

LOCATION OF TREES AND
SHRUBS.

Trees should be placed where they
will give shade. and yet not intrude
upon the landscape-picture. On the
edges of the lot, in the background, or,
if of suitable size and contour. at
either side of the main entrance. are
ideal locations. Shrubs and low ever
greens should be used in groups or
masses only. in front of the founda-
tons. in angles of buildings, or in cor
ners of the yard. The place for fiow-
ers is in frontyof or mingled with the
shrubbery, or as borders to walks,
never in beds cut out of the lawn. The
kinds or varieties of planting-material
should be similar to those prevailing
in the vicinity. so there will be no
harsh contrast. These are general
rules it will be found safe to follow. in
full assurance that the results will be
pleasing and in good taste.
