The revised edition of the bulletin "Hardy Roses" as issued by the Department cf Agriculture at Ottawa, first issued contains very useful information for these who are undertaking rose growing in their home gardens. Besides long lists of Hybrid Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals and Climbing Roses that have done at least moderately well at Ottawa, certain cf them are recommended as being especially suited for the small garden. In Hybrid Perpetuals seven varieties in (Efferent colors are especially recommended for their hardiness, beautiful flowers, and cropping qualities. These include: Frau Karl Druschki, white; General Jacquemiiv-ot, scarlet crimson; Her Majesty, pink; Hugh Dickson, crimson; Mrs. Sharman Crawfor, pink, and Ulrich Brunner, cherry red. If the list is to bo still further reduced, Mr. W. T. Macoun and Miss Isabella Preston, the authors cf the bulletin, would confine, their selection to Frau Karl Dru'ehki, Mrs. John Laing, and Hugh Dickson. Of the Hybrid Teas which are not quite so hardy but more constant bloomers, the recommendations include Caroline Testout, pink; General McArthur, crimson; Gruss en Teplitz, crimson; Lady Ashdown, pink; Lady Pirrie, pink; La Tosca, piink; Mme. Edouard Herrict, coral red; Souvenir de Claudius Pernet,! yellow; Willowmere, shrimp pink. Seed potatoei seed grain are produced and within the neighborhood of the Station. A report of the work done these Stations last year is published along with corresponding accounts for Quebec and the Maritime Pro inces in a volume prepared by the late Mr. John Fixter, the Chief Supervisor of these Stations in Canada This report, as well as a correspond*-ing volume for the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia, is ready for distribution at the Publications Blanch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa. MOTHER INTERFERES Pauline Herr Thomas "Let's play wash-day,"said Jeanne! "Oh, yes, let's! I'll wash and you iron," said Arlene. "No, I want to wash." , "No, you won't, either. Then I won't play. I'm going right home." I tried to close my ears to this continual disagreement between my little girl and her playmate. I was reminded of a crowd of boys in the back lot trying to organize a ball game without a captain. The two children disagreed so much that they could not accomplish their ends in play. I had heard so much about the error of interfering in children's arguments that I had steadfastly refused to do Yet, I felt that I could discriminate here. The children were just quarreling--they g to recognize one or the other lader and so failing to organize their play. It seemed lo me that they fairly cried out for a captain, so I decided to act in that capacity. Whenever a disagreement arose which promised to be of sufficient consequence to break up a play, but which vas not of a personal nature such as 1 test cf strength or ability, I would tep by and inquire what seemed to be the trouble; I would suggest that each tell her side of the argument and, together, we would weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each, after which I would tuggest a plan of procedure. After they had given it a trial, I would inquire how the plan worked. Of course, it justified itself, and they would be enthusiastic. After o period of such proceedure, I began to withdraw my own personality in the decision, leaving suggestions and plans entirely to them. In this way it was not long before I needed "to interfere" no lonrer--they came > me, Instead of my going to them, found their judgment to be much bet-;r than I suspected, and they were solving their problems as well as learning valuable lessons in jurgment and decision. the kindly monitor who they know will listen and N- rar^niverop^tou^ofte^cre1 They settle their disputes "out of court," as it were.

ANALYSIS. I. evil counsel, 1-11. II. the disruption, 12-20. III. a peacemaker, 21-21. Introduction -- Solomon began well, but ended badly. His great wealth was his temptation and his ruin. He gave himself over to a life of luxury, his people were heavily tt.xed to maintain an expensive court, and "his wives turned away his heart after other gods" (11:4). So troubles multiplied for him in his later years. Adversaries appeared both on the north and on the south of his kingdom, and he lost territory which his father had conquered. There was discontent and incipient rebellion in Israel, and prophets denounced his folly, predicting the division of the kingdom. (See ch. 11.) I. evil counsel, 1-11. Rehoboam went to Shechem. David had been chosen king in Hebron by the men of Judah, 2 Sam. 2:3, 4, and after seven years by all Israel, 2 Sam. 5:1-3. Solomon had been proclaimed in Jerusalem, ch. 1:32-40. This assembly at Shechem, an ancient and important city in the hill country of Ephraim, must have been due to tho discontent of the northern tribes with the rule of Solomon, and with the growing influence and importance of the tribe of Judah. It is quite evident that the spirit of independence and freedom was still strcng in the men of the north. No king's authority could be imposed upon them, but they themselves would choose their king. At Shechem, Judah would have no more influence in the matter than any other tribe. Jeroboam was an Ephraimite, who had been a servant of Solomon, and had been employed by him as an overseer or director of the labor which he required of the people in his great building enterprises, Ch. 11:26-28. He had been incited to revolt by a prophet who was displeased with the favor shown by Solomon to the worship of foreign deities brought into Jerusalem by his foreign wives. His disaffection having be^n discovered he wa3' obliged to flee into Egypt, from which he now returns at the call cf his northern friends. Thy father made cur yoke grievous, lis was the people's chief complaint. Solomon's expensive court, his many officers and servants, his army, and his building of palaces, fortresses and temples, had put a heavy burden upon thti!. They had to bear the cost, for while Solomon did add t ohis treasury ., uns from foreign trade, he did not, like David, have in his'later year the spoil and tribute of conquered countries. (See chs. 4:7, 26-28; 5: 10-11, 13-18; 6:1, 38; 7:1-3; 9:10-28.) The old men, that stood before Solo-on, gave good advice. Rehoboam himself was forty-one years of age and should have gained some wisdom. He was undone by the evil counsel of the younger men, a fact which, of se, does not. prove that old men always wise, or that young men necessarily foolish. But foolish temper and evil counsel prevailed. II. the disruption, 12-20. The rough words with which Rehoboam answered the people's deputation are, of course, figurative; but to proud and high-spirited people they must have been peculiarly offensive. The scorpions (vs. 11 and 14) are described by an ancient Syrian writer as long bags of leather stuffed with sand and armed with spikes. The Ro- ______ gave a similar name to a whip the lash of which was loaded with sharp-edged bits of metal. The prophecy of Abijah (v. 15) will be found in Ch. 11:29-39. The outbreak of the people was immediate and decisive. They would be ruled longer by the house of David. Tho old feud between Judah and the other tribes was revived, Judah alone remaining faithful to the grandson of David.
