Among the flower names which
have been under discussion in past
weeks, appears enc name which is
not generally recognized as belong
ing TO the list. II is Rhoda, the
graceful Greek name, which mas
completely lost its Indemnity under
importation and is now regarded as
purely English and American. The
name signifies rose" II is taken
from the Greek word for the flow
er.
Ii was apparently transplanted in
tact TO English shores, as there is
no record of its evolution from a
Greek root. The Rohais which ap-
peared in France and named the
wife OF Gilbert de Gaunt is thought
by etymologists To have arisen from
the Latin bros. meaning fame,
rather than to have been taken from
the flower. Indeed, most OF the
derivatives of the feminine name,
Rose, are believed TO have come
from this source rather than from
the blossom. Thus Rhoda is almost
unique in her place and signifi-
canoe; likewise it has never suf-

TEMPER-SAVING MACHINERY.

The value of labor-saving machinery for farm
work is fairly well understood in these days and
most farmers are solving the help problem by in

one instance in which the installation Of labor
saving machinery in the house well had such
beneficial effect ulon the farm wife's cooking and
temper that further dificulty found in get

in her household equipment the wife had been so
grossly overbuFdened that natural outlet for her
frayed and exhausted body had been slattern
ly cooking. and a tongue shrewish that help
could be kept In connection with the story the
Country Gentleman has these further suggestions to
make

farm housewives whose husbands hauled
about on riding plows while their wives carry
water from the barnyard well and rub dirt
from clothes like Adams daughter did, ought

 short resume of the play follows. The only two persons in the kingdom of pantonflia who do not believe in the Crown Prince Prigio and her majesty, the queen. When Prigio was christened, all except one bad fairy was invited. This old fairy, Cloak of Darkness, wishing cap and a carpet. The bad fairy's gift was that the in fant should be over bright and because of that ever unpopular. Prigio has two younger brothers, Alphonso and Enrico, who are in love with Lady Melinda and Kathluna, respectively.
 At the opening of the story every one is alarmed by report that a ter-' rible monster, called the Firedrage, is fast consuming the land The king asks Prigio to go out and kill the mon ster, but he refuses, saying he didn't believe in Firedrakes. Alphonso and Ernico, the soldier brothers, bravely volunteer. They are both burned to a crisp. The king then issues decree that whoever brings the horns and tail of the Firedrake woudl become crown prince. receive a thousand purses of gold and marry the royal niece, Mo
 
 alone.l A-sudden thought comes to him. it can do no harm to try the gifts. He puts on his wishing cap, seven league boots cloak of darkness, sword of sharpness and wisheh himself in Glucksburg. He goes to the Spanish embassy and meets the ambassador and his daughter Rosa. Prigio imme- diately falls in love with Rosa. She persuades him to kill the Firedrake! He does and returns to ask for her hand. She accepts. Prigio goes to Falkenstein for his father and his court. Prigio announces his engage ment to Rosa, but the king will not hear to it. Finally the king and Prigio and if Prigio can bring his brothers to life he can marry whom he wishes. The fairies again come to his assistance and give him a bottle of the Miraculous Water of Life.' He pours this water on his brothers ashes and restores them to life. They marry. Then something unusual happened she lived happily ever after.
