The dahlia growers who | cannot forget Gloriosa were nev- | CT so puzzled over any other noWers for the glory Of that pam terra coIsa ,a | time when all dahiias were killed by frost, then it would appear with snow l white tips upon every petal as II peau- tifully arrayed to meet its slayer. When at it's best no dahlia called forth more admiration, and when at it's av- craze no flower in the garden seemed more unworthy of it's name, or called forth more ridicule. On cold nights the dahlias ali seem to be Fastening to maturity, and they take on more bril- nancy and show streaks and blotcn- es of color, manifesting most intense ardor to look their best when death summons them.
 One of . hundred definitions of Ma ture Is this: Nature is mans teach
 er;;" and there is no. doubt she Is
 mans tormentor, too; and in still am
 it's vastness cannot be described with
 words any more than can God.- There
 is this indisputabIe fact that Nature is what God has made it; and 1t Is
 cause of it's incomprehensible phenom-
 enon. Some one has said every ma
 terfal fact in Nature has sheathcd
 within it a spiritual truth. As an
 nothing to be lost in the realm of
 matter or thought. Nature is bountf-
 full to man, and under some conditions,
 seems to be lperciless. If she men

 Nature rewards, and inaction she con

 Pascal found in Natures perfection evil
 dence she is the image of God and in
 her imperfections assurance that Ma
 ture is only His image.
 Have you noticed that a person of good qualities never talks about them
 They arg so natural and evident that other people do the talking. Nothing advertises itself more thoroughly with l out words than good quality. This IS ! why self praise is seldom effective why for centuries it has been set l world of problems such as this a per- | son must indeed be empty who can find nothing but self to study and to | praise. It was Lavater who said: rortance. exhibits the credentials of | impotence" It is necessary we should think most of something else, unless we desire to be made fools of. 1 was ever SO much deceived by another l as by himself" Conceit is a comfort 1 only to a fool; and so far from sanity | that it makes person appear to be insane. Coneeit is a puff of air, not | 8 prop to rely upon.
 1t is not such . terrihle sacrifice for each American family to deny them family Of five this would not amount l to a half slice per day for each per son; but it would mean twenty mill lion loaves saved in week-ten hum dred million loaves of bread in a year. This would be a great help for the all lies with very little self-dAnial on our part. For each person to go without one slice each day would give a sur million leaves CT bread a day!I I think we could do half of this easily, and the whole stunt without any great distress. don't you? If we should all should be in better health, and this would save one hundred million pounds a day-reduce this / to eight ounces and we should save $50 million enter heartily into the government scheme we may greatly aid the cause Of humanity.
 It is because man is vandaI and has destroyed the most precious rec ords of the past that we do not know more about it, and are so ignorant of the past ages of mans existence. Per haps what man thought 50,000 yeats ago is of no consequence. for he had not awakened to the scientific laws by which many ancient errors have been l The Chinese had an en- cy ciopedia of 22,S77 chapters 800 years ago; and in the 17th century there were IT, 1t9 volumes of historic: facts in possession of the Emperor. The H- brsry was burned and only 200 vol umes were saved, and these have-f been distributed to old book collectors
 1R 1 ! library has three volumes of this work which represent the worlds greatest historic work. Few people care for old books it is SO much work to decipher 1 them; but they contain many hidden facts of value to mankind. The schol- ars are deciphering the old parch- nents of Egypt and the generations to come are likely to know much more of the ancient world than has been known for ages.
 There is no skill in radiating mis- cry. A fcel can make himself miser- able and everyone around him. Allow yourself to be habituahy iow-spirfted and the corners of your mouth will urn down and you will have the ex- oression of unhappiness. You cannot | rou are sad or glad. The might have oeens are of the imagination: the progress of life the fruit of we'll di- 'ected energy. It isn't necessary to l most people experience, and as to the blues they are examples of misery for which there is no defence. Some peo- 'le think they have right to be miserable if they have mind to. and hey have if they can be so without others. No one has any , fight to create conditions which make others unhappy. Those who make the most of their pleasurable experiences , To not have time to entertain misery. , Learn the value of smile and the , rown will be banished
 Do you know it makes no difference what we would rather do in this world for about all we can do is the , ,est we are able to accomplish. If we , earn early to find joy in every credit lble achievement and to forget our ailures as speedily as possible, we , Ihall have learned to conserve our nergies, which is wisdom.
