MORE WONDERS WORKED In the April number of the Century magazine, W. S. Harwood concludes his sketch of Luther Burbank's work. Every horticulturist, every man interested in the real progress of mankind should read these Century articles. After speaking of some of the wonders worked with flowers by Mr. Burbank, Mr. Harwood mentioned to him that he heard he was on the way to a blue rose. "A blue rose?" repeated Mr. Burbank after him. "Why certainly. Why not. You can have any color you wish. I have not had time to make a blue rose, but I have seen enough in the development of the coloring of this flower to know that it is a very simple matter. If I ever get the time I may do it.* * I have however made a blue poppy, which you would consider perhaps quite as wonderful." Of Mr. Burbank's plumcot, the writer says: "The apricot form and color persist in the outside of the new fruit, but the flesh may be crimson, yellow, pink or pure white. The pits are sometimes those of the apricot and sometimes those of the plum. Because in the tree, itself, there are some imperfections not yet overcome, the fruit has not been given to the world, other work upon it being still under way. The flavor of the plumcot is pronounced by some superior to that of any other fruit similar and absolutely unlike anything ever before tasted." This interesting anecdote is told: One day at Santa Rosa, Mr. Burbank blindfolded one of the best known fruit merchants in the world—an expert too in all lines of the earth's fruits. A fruit was handed to him to eat and he was asked to name it. Enthusiastically he replied, after the first bite: BE ACCURATE Sue of the Best Mottoes For Man Entering Business The head of one of the local goods commission houses in was asked the other day he opened that his partner, upon principal responsibility of the rests, came to attain that while not yet thirty years of it.

A VERSATILE WOMEN Some of the Things For Phoebe Bown Was Fail Phoebe Bown died somet half a century ago, aged eight extraordinary woman, who her mother in a cottage near the High Tor, at Matlock Land, could walk nearly forty day when young, could lift a weight in each hand and carr ed by some superior to that of any other fruit similar and absolutely unlike anything ever before tasted." This interesting anecdote is told: One day at Santa Rosa, Mr. Burbank blindfolded one of the best known fruit merchants in the world—an expert too in all lines of the earth's fruits. A fruit was handed to him to eat and he was asked to name it. Enthusiastically he replied, after the first bite: "That's the most delicious Bartlett pear I ever put tooth into." With sight restored he discovered that he had been eating a plum, with not a hint nor trace of the pear in all its ancestry. The writer tells in interesting fashion how Mr. Burbank has overturned many theories of botanists in regard to the development of new form of plant life. He has put forth a new maxim, one which will be handed down the ages. It is: "Heredity is the sum of all past environment." When he has crossed two plants to reproduce a third, he illustrates what happens in this way: Here is a river, the life forces of the plant. Here is the bank, the environment. The forces constantly pushing forward are held in check by the bank, and yet in some measure each acts upon the other. There may be a rock in the stream that may make a ripple, turning the flow aside for a minute, but the river does not stop on its way to the sea. Yet if you place a sufficient number of rocks, with the other one, or if a new and better channel is found the whole river is turned. But no one can tell where these rocks are to appear, no one can foretell when the stream will change its course or how or where. It will be remembered that Mr. Burbank in the early stages of his investigations was severely denounced by clergymen for tampering with nature's laws. This question to him and his answer will therefore prove interesting: "Has anything developed in your lifework and in your study of the great elemental forces of nature to imperil true faith, or render dead a belief in God, or of immortality of the soul?" This was his answer: "My theory of the laws and underlying principles of plant creation, is in many respects diametrically opposed A VERSATILE WOMAN Some of the Things For Phoebe Bown Was Famous Phoebe Bown died sometime half a century ago, aged eight extraordinary woman, who her mother in a cottage nearby the High Tor, at Matlock Land, could walk nearly forty day when young, could lift a weight in each hand and carry stone. She undertook any kind labor, as holding the plow the team, thrashing wheat flail and thatching the stalk chief avocation was breaking a guinea a week. She always without saddles and was on the best judge of horses and the peak. But Phoebe had also a sport and for art. She was a and carried her gun on her back. She was fond of Milton, Shakespeare and performed instruments, including the flute and harpsichord, and played violin in Matlock church. She went penter, mason and smith and her own hand labor built another to the cottage for the reception harpsichord which a lady prefers her. At her own request a gymman wrote her epitaph, it is: Here lies romantic Phoebe Half Gannymede, half Hebe A maid of mutable condition A jockey, cowherd and mu Muscles That Shut Out "The muscles of the skin making to educate them to contrously on the slightest cold, medical writer," "to shut the skin so quickly that the body heat will not be lost." That when the skin is cold 'goose skin' appearance. Thus to the contraction of the little of the skin. The contractile muscles compresses the external vessels and drives away the bone surface, hardening and thickening the skin, which thereby becomes nonconductor. Thus the temperature is maintained. "It is because of the constriction to cold that the Indian 'all face.' The skin of his whit not only that of the face, ha This was his answer: "My theory of the laws and underlying principles of plant creation, is in many respects diametrically opposed to the theories of the materialists. I am a sincere believer in a higher power than that of man. All my investigations have led me away from the idea of a dead, material universe, tossed about by various forces, to that of a universe which is absolutely all force, life, soul, thought, or whatever name we may choose to call it. Every atom, molecule, plant, animal, or planet is only an aggregation of unit forces held in place by stronger forces thus holding them for a time latent, though teeming with inconceivable power. All life on our planet is, so to speak, just on the outer fringe of this infinite ocean of force. The universe is not half dead, but all alive." LAST HOPE VANISHED. When leading physicians said that W. M. Smithart of Pekin, Ia. had incurable consumption his last hope vanished; but Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds kept him out of his grave. He says: "This great specific completely cured me and saved my life. Since then I have used it for over 10 years and consider it a marvelous throat and lung cure."

A Tarpon Scarecrow. Times and places there are where the tarpon have been so numerous and so free in their antics as to be a pest to the small fishermen, who in a certain bay once harpooned a lordly fish, lashed him to a keg and pointed him to the open sea. Drawing the floating barrel, he went, splashing terror to his kindred, an aquatic scarecrow. And as the millant hogshead, ferried by a leaping twelve stone fish, went marching down the bay all tarpon, great and small, took warning that they must keep their performances within the bounds of decency.—Country Life In America. Using a Coat Hanger. Many years of hard work on the farm had made the old man round shouldered, and his coat fitted badly. His son in the city sent him a coat stretcher on which to hang the coat at night. On his next visit to the farm the young man asked how the coat stretcher worked. His father looked a little embarrassed and then confessed. "I can't stand it on," said he. "It was real good of you to send it. Your mother fastened it to my coat with tape, but I wasn't comfortable in it, and I had to take it off." A Dream. "I found I had saved up a thousand dollars without pinching myself."

An Irishman was once king of Portugal, or at least he once ruled in the king's stead over that country. In November, 1640, there was a revolution in Portugal, brought about by the tyrannical exactions of Miguel Vasconcellos, the secretary of state. The hated minister was shot and the vice queen, Margaret of Savoy, abdicated. The crown was offered to the Duke of Braganza, who was living at Villavicosia. Meanwhile, until the duke should accept the crown, the people of Lisbon elected a popular and influential Irish merchant, named John Darcy, who resided in the city, as their nominal king. Darcy accepted the honor conferred upon him and bore the title of "king of Portugal" from Dec. 1 to Dec. 6, 1640. Living Stones. The visitor to the Falkland isles sees scattered here and there singular shaped blocks of what appear to be weather beaten and moss covered bowlders in various sizes. Attempt to turn one of these bowlders over, and you will meet with a real surprise, because the stone is actually anchored by roots of great strength; in fact, you will find that you are trifling with one of the native trees. No other country in the world has such a peculiar "forest" growth. Hopeless Case. "Do you enjoy classical music?" asked the young woman. "Yes, miss," answered Mr. Cumrox; "I enjoy it much, but I never can get over the idea that the tunes would sound better if they were played by a mandolin or banjo club."—Washington Star.

In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no white winged angels now, but yet men are led away from threatening destruction; a hand is put into theirs which leads them forth gently toward a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward, and the hand may be a little child's.—George Elliot.
