Persian legendary lore tells some fanciful stories about the rose which have great poetic charm. For examplo, | the poet Attar wrote “The Book of tho Nightingale,;” telling how all the other birds appeared in anger before the throne of Solomon, asking him to de- stroy the nightingale, which would not allow them to rest by night, but pour- ed forth its lays when peaceful si- lence should rein all over the earth. After prolonged argument the bird was acquitted, for it explained with such pathos that its untimely melody could not be restrained because of its fren- zied love for the rose, a passion so hopeless and undying that-it could never be made voiceless. Another Persian bellef is that nightingales al- ways die beneath rose bushes, stupe- fled by the scent. Jamie, a Persian poet, wrote of how “the first rose ap- peared in Gulistan at the time the flowers demanded a new sovereign from Allah, because the drowsy lotus would slumber at night. At first the maiden queen blossom was shown white, and encircled with a protecting guard of thorns, but the poer night- gale fell into such an ecstasy of love over her charms, and so recklessly pressed his lovelorn heart against those cruel thorns, that his blood, so far as it could trickle into the flower’s bosom, dyed it crimson.” Another fancy states that the Per- fume of the rose was galned from a cup of nectar thrown over it by the little god Cupid, while its thorns were those stings of bees used by him as arrows in his wrath at finding some roses scentless after all his trouble. The beds of the Shahs of Persia in anclent times were filled with rose petals, which had to be often scattered lest they become uncomfortable. This must surely have been the origin of the saylng: “He would complain of a bed of roses.” It was also claim- ed that a rose liquor would “by one glassful make the sternest monarch merciful or the sickliest mortal slum- ber amid his pains.” The rose is emblematical of joy and love, and was consecrated to Venus, the goddess of beauty, from whose path it was said to have first sprung. Crimson roses, “gemmed with dew- drops,” formed the crowning garland of the Romans’ youthful Comus, god of feasting, and the Turks belleved it abeolutely wicked to step on a rose petal or leave it lying on the ground.— Pall Mall Gazette. & Siié Hair’s Breadth.” A “hair’s breadth” is 17-10,000 of an inch. For the purpose of such fine and delicate measurement tool makers use what is called a micrometer caliper. The hair's breadth is something that hag to be taken into consideration in the manufacture of a thousand and one things in the machine maker’s art. Close calculation of this sort must be done on the doors of bank vaults, for example, where every part must fit to the nicest degree—Harper's Weekly. Wanted to Pile It On.

In the decade 1900-1910 greatel progress was made In educational conditions in the United States than in any previous 10 years in the coun: try's history. The report of the Fed: éral bureau of education shows that the annual expenditures for = public schools increased from = $220,000,00¢ to $425,000,000,- appropriations for Normal schools from $2,769,000 ta $6,620,000, and the value of school property from $550,000,000 to over $1,000,000,000. Public High schoole increased from 6,000 to 10,213, their teachers from about 20,000 to over 41,000, and enrolled High school pu pils from 520,000 to 900,000. The average length of the common &chool term increased from 144 to 156 days, and the average attendance of pupils from 99 to 114 days. . An advance from 0166,175,000 to $273,425,000 was made in the produc tive fund of universities, colleges and teohnical schools, and from $28,500,000 to $77,800,000 in their annual income outside of endowments.

One great reason why Experience is considered such a hard teacher is the fact that her pupils are frequently so unwilling to learn that they require to have a lesson hammered in two or three times before they finally get it.

KRBATZ YOUR GRAY HAIRS QUICKLY VANISH A Haimless Remedy, Made From Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair. A feeling of sadness nt:cm!u)xmles.+ the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are luoked np- on as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs, however, are not always an indication of advancing age, for many people have gray hairs quite early in life. Of course it is unna- tural, and indicates that there is something wrong with the individ- ual, and that Nature needs assist- ance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that is constant- ly falling out and becoming thinner every day. If everything is right with Nature, the hair, even in com- paratively elderly people, should be long, thick and glossy, without even a streak of gray. The ideal assistant to Nature in restoring and preserving the hair is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a clean and wholesome dressing for daily use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin and falling hair and pro- motes its growth.. A few applica- tions will restore faded or gray hair| to its natural color. Get a bottle today, and let: it do for you what it has-done for thou- sands of others.
