FoolinQ the Poinsettia.

The florists were long puzzled by the
problem of bringing all their poinsettla
plants to full bloom for the holiday
season. In time solution was Of
fered by Dr. w. W. Garner and II. H..
Allard Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, who discovered
that by regulating the amount Of light
which was allowed to reach the plants,
the blossoming date could be speeded
or retarded ut pleasure. If the sun
shine is allowed to fall upon the young
poinsettia only few hours each day
it evidently takes the lack of light for
the approach Of the shortest day and
puts all its efforts into blooming before
the end of the year.-Christian Sci

The. American Short Story.

The secret of the American short
story IS the treatment of characteristic
American life, with absolute knowl-
edge of its peculiarities and sympathy
with Its methods with no fastidious
ignoring Of its habitual expression, or
the inchoate poetry that may be found
hidden even in its slang; with no
moral determination except that which
may be the legitimate outcome of the
story itself; with mo- more elimination
than may be. necessary for the artistic
conception, and never, from the fear~of
the fetish Of conventionalism. Of such
is the American short story Of today;
the. germ Of American, literature to
come.-Bret Harte, 'The Rise Of the
\ShOrt Story"

Progressed by Slow STAGES.

Thirty years ago the men of Hart
shay, u hamlet Of Derbyshire, England,
were accustomed to meet at a bridge
on the edge Of theI town, where they
would read the papers and discuss
events. This was all right in summer
time, but in the winter it was differ
ent and they would occasionally adj
journ to a sheltered spot under the
bridge. From this they moved into a
vacated pigsty and later annexed an
other pigsty. This rude building was
improved by their own efforts until it
was a fairly comfortable place. From
this humble origin there Is now a
rather pretentious library, with the
best papers and magazines and a
stock Of good books.
