Miss ROsebush had no idea how
Robin could repay her, and she did
not think she had done anything for
which he should. so she Rugged the
wall closer. falling asleep for the
winter.
When she awoke In the spring she
was very much surprised to find
Robin already back from the south,
around her roots with his bill in a
very busy manner.
"YOu see, am keeping my
promise" he chirped. Il am quite
sure I know why you have never
grown as tall as you should; there
are too many worms around this wall.
but this year you will not be held
back by them, promise you"
Every morning and evening Robin
came and worked to repay Miss Rose
bush's kindness of the fall day when
he was caught In the snowstorm, and
when June came all the flowers In the
garden looked with surprise Upon
Miss Rosebush's beauty, for she far
outgrew them all.
Up to the top Of the stone wall she
grew, and then above it, and her
beautiful pink roses were so large
that everybody passing that way
stopped to admire them.
"Now, what do you suppose hap
pened?" said big red rosebush who
| had always been the pride of the
garden. mo one ever noticed Miss

No. one could tell, but II they had
asked Robin he could have told them
that 1t was kind deeds that made heI
SO beautiful, but though 1t Is said
that little birds tell a great deal
Robin did not tell what he knew
about Miss Rosebush, and so no one
| in the garden found out why she grew

obligatory. Boiled eggs are served In
egg cups and not in glass as In the
old messy manner, and it is proper to
eat them directly from the shell. AS
every housewife knows eggs have a
way Of discoloring silver spoons and
there is no reason why they should
not be eaten with the small bone
spoons that come especially for that
purpose.
1t Is now taken for granted that
the persons gathered around the break
fast table have none too much time
to spend; therefore more leniency is
permitted in manners perhaps than
at dinner which is the leisurely meal
of the day. For instance If one per-
son does not care for fruit, 1t Is not
discourteous for him to proceed to
cereal or eggs or whatever his break
fast consists of. Moreover there Ia
no reason why we should make an
effort toward uniformity in break
fasts and II one member wishes to
omit any one or more dishes he need
make no effort to overcome his pref
udice. whereas we do try to take
the courses as they come at dinner.

claims that he has succeeded In ex-
tracing ethylene alcohol from coal
oven gas on a commercial scale, says
the Scientific American. The practi-
cal working Of the process at the Skin
ningrove works, where $500 tons OF
coal are carbonized per week, reveals
an average yield Of 1.6 gallons OF al
coho1 per ton of coal. The total weight
OF coal reduced to coke in this country
during 1918 was 14.8S5, 900 tons. 80
that the application Of Mr.. Bury's
process to this quantity Of coal would
yield R3, 418.84O gallons Of alcohol,
which would be available as liquid
fuel. Coal treated at gas works would
yield further 27.000,0 900 gallons, or

where there were so many beautiful
flowers that grew so much taller than
she that no one noticed her.
Little Miss Rosebush was a pretty,

roses, and If she could not be tall and
beautiful she knew she must be very

So she grew in her place in the gar

could, and when the fall days came
she leaned against the stone wall and
went to sleep.
But one morning she was awakened
