Girl-Doll looked up at Boy-Blue, but

ROSE.

n OSE by any other name would
IN still be a rose, according to ety.
mologists. The fortunate possessor of
one Of the most popular flower names
has a charmingly fragrant origin. 1t
seems that all countries and languages
agree ia expressing a rose by its color.
Even the Syrian name for the Oleander
trose laureD is rodyon. Greece pro-
duced Rhoda, which has since come
to be a modern name of wide vogue.
The first feminine names to be con-
nected with the fragrant flower called
rose were Rohais and Roesia, which,
curiously enough, are said to come
from the French and Latin of bros,
meaning fame, rather than from the
flower. England's most famous Rohais
was the wife of Gilbert of Gaunt.
There were many Roesias among the
De Bohuns and De Veres and the wife
of Fulbert de Dover in the reign of
Henry ii was so called.
Ireland adopted the English form
and changed it to Rose, whereupon it
found vogue in all classes and is still
one of the most popular peasant
names. Germany took it and made
from it the diminutives, Rosi and

man had better become fairly expert
in the gentle art of drinking tea.
The idea used to be that when one
drank tea in the afternoon one must
hold ones cup and saucer deftly in
the left hand. 1t was considered quite
incorrect to let it rest on conven-
iently placed table or stand. But now,
although we certainly do not sit at a
table when we drink tea in our homes,
we do not spurn- the assistance Of the
little individual stands that come in
sets Of five or six and form a NEST"
when not in USE At hotels and tea
rooms" however, one takes afternoon
tea from table just as one takes any
other meal.
Now, of course one is not supposed
to make meal of it" at afternoon
tea. If toast and cakes are served, a
couple of small pieces of toast and one
or two cakes should be sufficient. 1t
is unusual to serve anything more
than toast or little cakes or sweet
crackers, with sometimes candies. or
jam with the toast. When jam is
served, it is usually placed in small
portions on a bit of toast When Jam
is served, of course a plate. must be
used. Otherwise the cake or biscuit
is very often simply placed OH the
saucer.

MEANS BIC CROP
Wheat in Western Canada Has
Excellent Start.
termination, in the Rich Soil of That
Country, Is Speedy-Farmers
on Road to Wealth.

1t was on the 18th of May that the
writer received letter from a friend
in Western Canada dated the 18th Of
the same month. Information was
conveyed in the letter that its author
had travelled over a considerable por-
ton of Western Canada. He had COW
cred most of the settled portions, ana
from those he had not covered he had
secured information that ampllt1ed
his own observations of conditions
throughout all the yast area or that
country. He found seeding of Wheat
practically completed, and placed IN
a bed of earth that was in condition
that warranted speedy and healthy
termination. This was borne out by
evidence that he was witness OF
wheat that had been in the ground
four days that was already breaking
through, and that which had been
seeded for a week was well above the
ground, the field being as green as
new pasture plot. Everywhere this
condition existed. 1t will be pleasing
information for those who have
friends in Western Canadian any
part of it, no matter where they may
be-to learn that conditions have
opened up IN such splendid way, and
to be advised that the prospects were
never brighter than now. When 1t
becomes known that conditions are so
satisfactory, many who were waiting
uncertain what to do in the matter OF
moving, will doubtless now come to a
decision. With the opening of thou
sands of homesteads, which took place
on the 1st of May, there was rush
to take advantage of the opportunity
to secure 16O acres of excellent land
free, within speaking distance OF
railroad. The low railway rates
granted by means of a certificate is
sued by Canadian government agents,
located at different points in the
States, make it possible to make
"trip of inspection at small cost.
Oat and barley farming are branches
that add considerable to the wealth
of the farmer who desires to make
money quickly. That these grains can
be grown so successfully, and easily,
makes it possible to go into other
branches of farming industry, that
