The Impossible Flowers

AS the planting season approach
es everyone is looking at the many
seed catalogues. These catalogues
contain pictures Of some very
beautiful flowers. People think
how much they would like to raise
these flowers. They generally or
der some and plant them. They
expect to have some beautiful ones
but when they are full grown they
are just ordinary.
The pictures were probably TAX
en- where the climate is exactly
right for that variety of flowers.
Moreover most of the seeds are
grown in the fertile valleys of Cal
ifornia. Ninety percent of the
worlds seeds are grown in this Sec
ton of the country. Many times
people will pay high prices for
seeds which are advertised as from
England. However these seeds are
generally raised in California, sent
TO England, then returned to u. S.
Many millions of dollars are
spent annually for the perfection
of these varieties. Cross pollina-
tion and many other processes are
used to obtain the desired color,
odor and size.

shrine of La Almudena. In BARGE
Iona, the shrine and two towers of
La Sagrada Familia have been com
pleted.
England, home of many ancient
cathedrals, is still building them.
An Anglican cathedral, that will
take its place with the largest in
the world, is being erected in Liver
pool. Situated on st. James Mount,
this huge Gothic structure dom
mates the city and is landmark
to ships on the River Mersey. Built
principally Of locally-quarried red
sandstone, its exterior will be 610
feet long and its large central tow
er, 81 feet square, will rise 30S
feet above floor level. Its fOunda-
tion stone was laid in 1904 by King
Edward, and the choir alone was
20 years in building. A War
Memorial chapel contains an illu-
minated vellum roll of honor on
which are inscribed names of the
nearly 10000 Liverpool men who
perished in the World war.
'Brownlow hill, Liverpool, has
been chosen as the place for an
immense Roman Catholic cathe-
dral, in which 10000 worshipers
will be able to see the high altar at
the same time. On the site, where
the foundation stone was laid in
June, 1888, will rise a massive
domed brick structure, probably of
the Renaissance period. 1t is ex-
pected that it will take at least 20
years to build"

A Visitor

Sunday afternoon had a visitor,
one whom haven't seen for a long
time. / asked him to stay for a
while but he told me he was sorry
but he must go but assured me
that he would be back soon to stay
several months. l hadn't seen him
for so long that just sat and gaz-
ed at him fascinated. How pretty
his brown coat and red vest looked
after his long absence. How cheer
full he seemed and how his presence
brightens the day for me.
Soon he said he must be leaving
and with CHEEKY salute went on
his way. Ilstood and watched him
go, hoping that he would return
soon as the robin is my favorite
spring visitor.

Sophistication

A sophisticated person is one
who is worldly-wise. This person
has Travelled widely, met hundreds
of interesting people, lived a gay
life, and is bored at everything.

Women who have mastered the art
of sophistication become bored, in

They walk with their head held
high, are "cool and collected at
all times, and have a queenly air of
superiority. They find no pleasure
in anything and are seldom inter-

hours Of strenuous practice. 1t is

Chicago Changes Time

Chicago adopted Eastern Stand
ard Time. on March 1 and as a re-
suit many difficult problems have
sprung up. The trouble is that the
new time was not adopted every
where in the city. Railroads, gov
eminent offices, and some suburbs
still have central time. A pupil,
for example, is living in a suburb
which is still on central time may
arrive at school an hour too soon
and reach home in the evening
earlier than he left school. This
might sound strange but that is
just what confronts the people in
Chicago today.

S. Make a peer or peeress out Of
every citizen Of the British empire.
6. Dismiss the cabinet and call
