China and Flowers.

From time immemorial China has
been called the Flowery Kingdom, a
name given by the Chinese themselves
and singularly suited to the land which
for ages was like an oasis of flowers
Of the spirit in the world desert of bar
barism. In this oasis grew the arts of
the bronze and stone worker, of tho
silk maker and embroiderer, of the pot
ter, of the painter on silk, of the poet,
philosopher and ethical devotee. But
China was not named the Flowery
Kingdom because Of these flowers Of
the mind. Her flora is one of the most
luxuriant in the world 1t is estimated
to consist of some twelve thousand spe-
cies, nine thousand of which are known
and One-half of which are indigenous
and not found elsewhere.
Such being the fora of China. it is
readily understood that horticulture
and gardening early became skilled
and NhOnored profession. .-Scribner's.

An Oriental Ruse,

1t was on Aug. 21, HOB, that Abdul
numen Ibn Ali was elected sultan of
eastern Africa by the following strata
gem: Having trained parrot and a
lion, he assembled the chiefs in his tefit
and urged upon them the naming of
ruler OF their growing empire. In the
midst Of their deliberations the parrot
perched himself upon one of the poles
Of the tent and pronounced distinctly,
Victory and power to the lot of the
khalif Abdulnumen, commander of
the faithful" The lion then made his
way through the terrified assembly,
licked Abdul's hand and lay down at
his feet. Deeply impressed with this
wonder and the manifest interference
of heaven. the natives unanimously pro
claimed him sultan.

THE SENSATION OF PAIN.

II Is Felt In the Head and Not Where
It Seems to Be.
Where do you feel the pain? asks the
doctor. In my finger, in my ear, in my
foot, the sufferer replies, and if the ply
sician told him he did not feel it there,
but In his head, the average man would
doubt the doctors sanity. Yet the doc
tor would be right.
In an address at the University of
California Professor G. III. Parker of
Harvard told the students that we have
been obliged to give up the idea that
sensations are spread throughout our
bodies, for persons. who have lost
limb often feel sensations that seem to
come from the missing member.
Our sensations" said Professor Par
ker, "are not located in the peripheral
parts affected, but in the central
nervous system, and within that portion
of 1t known as the cerebral cortex."
This is the outer layer or gray matter
Of the brain. One may lose an arm,
yet have the sensation of pain in the
hand, but if small piece of that par
ticular part of the brain to which run
the sensory nerves from the arm be re-
moved, one will never again feel any
thing in that arm not even if the hand
be placed in the fire.

BIG INTEREST IN MUSIC.
Educators Now Recognize Its Farreach-

ing Cultural Value.
An intelligent interest in music Of the
higher order is everywhere increasing
Well rounded educators have long since
recognized the farreaching cultural
value Of musical art There Is no COM
plete education without music. That is
an outstanding fact in the most en-
lightened countries of Europe Music
is now coming to be appreciated by all
individuals identified with school or col
lege work in America.
Like all spiritual things, harmony has
its psychology. More, it has it's gram
mar and its rules Of analysis and con-
struction. Melody that stirs the emo
tions is the unadorned language of the
soul. Harmony is intellectual to the
last degree, but melody and harmony
united contribute to the true and the
beautiful as no other educational force
does.
Hence it is that all institutions of
learning are giving so much attention
to the serious study of music, especially
theory and composition. Some of the
choicest literature published in recent
years has been on musical topics. The
universities are making feature Of lee
lures on music more than ever-Bir-

Resiivering Headlights.

You can reSilver the surface by the
following method: Rub off all of the old
silver with a piece of emery paper
fastened to block of wood cut to the
curve of the reflector. Use a fine
grade of emery so that it will not
scratch the surface. Then melt togeth-
er two ounces of lead, two ounces of
tin and four ounces of chemically pure
bismuth. This should be melted in an
iron ladle. and thermometer capable
of registering more than 200 degrees
should be placed in the mixture. Eight
ounces of mercury are added at 212
degrees and mixed with the boiling
mixture. This is then applied warm
with smooth brush.

4 Group Of Islands Off Cape Horn Now

Within the last generation a unique
rat colony has grown up in south Geor-

lands of aboGt 1000 square miles, in
the Atlantic ocean several hundred
miles east Of Cape Horn. In the three
months of the short warm season a lit

Mothers Doll Story
A Pair of Stills

Once upon time a boy doll had a
beautiful pair of stills. They were
made of two wooden sticks, and q
small boy had nailed two cleats on
them to stand on.
While all the girl dolls were playing
patticakes and the animal dolls were
barking and fighting and the other boy
dolls were whiting out nursery
chairs, this doll who owned the stilts
used to practice walking about on
them.
At first he used to get terrible tum-
bles.
"Who blacked your eyer" the little
boys uncle was always asking when
ever he visited the nursery.
But the boy doll was very faithful to
anything he once tried to do So he
kept on practicing till he could almost
run upstairs. And that is a very hard
thing to do on stills.
One day the little boys cousin came
to visit him. She was a beautiful child.
and she brought with her a pet doll.
Probably her cousin was selfish, for
instead of having happy time with
her he soon began to quarrel. Finally.
he quite lost his temper and threw her
doll right up in the air, where it caught
on corner of the bookcase and hung
The little girl cousin cried like any
thing, for she was too short to reach
the top Of the bookcase
"I'n get your doll for your cried the
boy doll. And he walked on his stilts
right up the shelves of the bookcase
and tossed the poor doll down. Then
he walked down tho shelves Of the
bookcase quite the hero of them all.

forty days before they were admitted
