Plants Should Rest.

SO far as known. no plant grows
continuously throughout the year !:
therefore why should we seek to force
them into unnatural activity as are
so many of US guilty of doing every
year. Some plants, as nearly all bulbs,
corms, rhizomes and tubers support,
will not be forced to remain active.
Tops will die and the underground por
ton become dormant or hibernate
sleep, or whatever you wish to call this
blissful state of rest. OF just what
value this rest-perlod in plants Is we
do not know. but nature seems to de-
mand 1t, so we must grant that 1t Is
an economic necessity. IT must be that
some process takes place while growth
is dormant; the latter state does not
necessarily indicate complete function

Boys Plight Analogous to That Of
Many Whose Heads Are Stuck
Fast In Worries.

An earthenware crock which a boy.
playing policeman, had put on his
bead as Z helmet slipped down and
stuck fast. The boy made rec
ord resignation from the police force.
and his muffied bowls attracted
prompt attention.
His alarmed mother -tugged at the
bruised; then excited neighbors took
turns until his neck was pain
fully twisted.
Meanwhile the bowling boy was suf-
fering terrifying visions of lifelong i'm
prisonment, as secure as In dungeon,
and of his head from year to year
growing larger and tighter in the
crock. The poor boys trouble shut
him In from all the rest of the world
with an ingrowing Imagination. But
that is only what anyone's trouble OF
any sort Is apt TO do for one, OBJ
serves the Christian Herald.
The mother, the father, who had
been sent for. and half hundred
neighbors, who had invited themselves
under the delusion that curiosity Is
sympathy, finally settled down to SOL
emn conclave and decided that, since
the crock had slipped on 1t must be
possible for 1t to be slipped off again,
but that only a skillful surgeon could
perform the delicate operation.
A delegation was on its way with
the boy to a surgeons office. when a
resourceful motorman, seeing the stu
alton, smashed the crock with his con-
troller handle.
Thus, by the simplest of processes,
the boys trouble was suddenly ended.
And 1t Is by equally simple and d.
rect processes that most of the trou-
bles of most of US may be ended.
With our heads stuck fast In wor-
ries, we rack our brains over thou
sand roundabout ways of slipping
them off-and the harder we tug at
them the more they hurt-but we
overlook the simple expedient of
smashing the crock.
Like the lad. we see terrifying vi

feelings to be cruelty lacerated and
our bodies to be twisted and torn In
mental anguish and despair; we run
here and there for sympathy and ad-
vice and help: and 1t does not occur
to us how easy 1t is just to break the
crock.
Most of the crooks that seem to slip
down over our heads are merely imag-
Hnary, anyway. They require no street
car controller handles to smash them.
All they call for Is a mental con-
troller handle.

Museum Like Indian Mission.

THE new museum tn Santa Fe, ". NJ,
which is being constructed under
the auspices of the School of
American Archaeology at cost of
100000, Is a fine example Of the re-
suits of a movement In the Southwest
to preserve as far as possible in new
buildings, the distinctive features of
the Indian architecture Of the region.
The new structure is an enlarged rep
lica, In reinforced concrete, Of the
brick and stucco New Mexican state
building at the San Diego fair. 1t
combines the picturesque chara cteris-
tics of several famous missions repro

Makers of distilled spirits for hev-

do not expect to continue such manu-

Santo Domingo City.--The capital
Of the Dominican republic is a pretty
town of about 10000 inhabitants of
low, flat-roofed houses, painted white,
pale blue and pink, and having that
bright, clean look which most sharply
distinguishes tropical towns from the
smoky cities of the North.
The capital is situated at the mouth
Of a deep. narrow river, lying between
heavily -jungled banks, which serves as
a harbor. The customs and steam.
ship offices front upon the river and
the main city lies somewhat higher
fronted by high bluff. crowned with
an old fort, from which the American
flag Is now flying.
The city has no sewerage or water
system, but is. nevertheless, clean
healthy and attractive. 1t Is set of
by several shady plazas and contains
a number Of striking buildings, the
most famous of which is the great
cathedral In which lie the bones of
christopher Columbus. Outwardly
this is an imposing pile. made of rough
weathered stone. with grass and moss
growing in it's chinks and pigeons flut-
tering about It's towers. Within. how
ever. 1t is truly splendid edifice of
immense spaces, decorated with beau
tiful affairs and statues of popes and
saints. 1t contains also a splendid
collection of jewels, which have been
donated by the pious during many
centuries; for this Is one Of the oldest
