List of Nature’s Teachings.
It has been said that “As domestic
floriculture and gardening has been the
inclination of beings, and the choice of
philosophers, so it has been the favor-
ite of public end private men and wo-
men, a pleasure of the greatest and a
care of the meanest; and indeed an
employment and a possession for which
no man is too high nor too low."
Flowers are the relics of Eden's bowers.
They sweeten the air, rejoice the eye.
link you with Nature and innocence,
and are something to love. If they
cannot love you in return, they cannot
hate you; cannot - otter hateful words,
even if neglected, for, though they are
all beauty, they possess no vanity; and
living, as they do, to do yqu good and
afford you pleasure, how can you neg-
lect them? There arejfew who are so
destitute as not to be able to indulge in
a love for flowers. The garden may
he of the smallest sifce—a mere tiny
circle or corner—and it will be loved
the more for its smallness.
Oray, tbe poet* and also a skillful
naturalist, tells us that the enjoyment
of life depends upon ' having always
something going forward." and ex-
claims, "Happy are they who can cre-
ate a rose tree or erect anoneysuckle."

hope the public spirited men and wo-
men of Montgomery county will advo-

trees, and our children and children's

they think of good roa’ds and beautiful
and well kept parks and v&rds they
will think of grand old Texas, and not
of far-away California or Florida.
The movement is taking great im-
petus in South Texas as evidenced by
this class of plantings, as well rs for
semi-tropical fruits for orchards and
home gardens and the consequent es-
tablishment of branch oijices in the
coast country by leading nurseries for
the accommodation of customers.
Lets us all take on ^ full supply of
civic pride and make Conroe the admi-
ration of all. ¥es, the. prettiest town
between Texarkana and the Gulf. We
have the natural advantage in climate,
and nice, up-to-date business houses
unsurpassed by towns many times
larger, an excellent water supply, aqd
a shell road to the Gulf almost in sight.
Conroe! Conroe! a greater and more
beautiful Conroe! Let this be our
slogan.—Contributed.

Colors of Sea Water.
It has been proved that tbe blue-
ness of sea water is in constant ratio
to Its aaltness. In the tropics the
tremendous evaporation Induced by
the biasing sun causes tbe water to be
much more salt than It is In higher
latitudes.
For about 30 degrees both north and
south of the equator the waten of
the world’s oceans are of an exquisite
azure. Beyond these latitudes the
blue fades and changes to green, and
In the Arctic and Antarctic oceans the
greens are almost as vivid as the trop-
ical blues.
Chlna’a Yellow sea la usually sup-
posed to owe its origin to the flood of
muddy water which its great river
pours Into It. But here, again, mod-
ern science has proved that living
organisms are responsible for lta pe-
culiar tldt
A Tangle.
A case of singular corruption on
ths part of an attorney caused Miss
Jane Addams, the Chicago welfare
worker, to say at Hull House:
“This case reminds me of a man
who was being tried fir the theft of a
ham. The opposing lawyers shuffled
so, they confused the witnesses so,
they so strained their own state-
ments—In a word, they got the case
Into such a formidable tangle of
falsehood and mendacity that at last
the prisoner. In a tremulous voice,
spoke up and said:
" ‘Judge, If you’ll make them law-
yers set down and shut up for a min-
ute, I’m willin’ to whirl in and tell
the truth.* **
