One day she became morose and hypo-
chondriac
Smelling artificial flowers,
And she com itted suicide!
When .they buried her
They brought her beautiful bouquets
of flowers:
Flowers are so consoling to the dead.
Unless we get away from associat-
ing flowers chiefly with the dead, as-
sociation may make them unwelcome
gifts at any time. •
.In England and Scotland some
flowers are considered omens of death,
and if children or others, not knowing
the superstition, happen to bring
them into the house, are quickly told
to take them away.
Flowers are used when a death oc-
curs to express sympathy and because
they are symbolic bf the resurrection
and the life after death. It is in this
thought that flowers give hope and
cheer, for the stied is placed in the
earth and springs forth and blossoms
in the full beauty of the flower.
Flowers, however, are beautiful liv-
ing things for the betterment, enjoy-
ment, encouragement and apilrecia-
tion of the living. Use them acdord-
ingly and as freely as the purse will
permit.

The Grand Canal of China.
Many of our readers have read about
the Grand Canal of China, and know
that it is by far the longest canal In
the world. It reaches from Hang -
chow to Tientsin, the port of Peking,
and covers a distance of nearly one
thousand miles. • It crosses two of the
world's largest rivers, the Hwang and
the Yangtze.
For about one hundred and thirty
miles north of the Ya$gtze the canal
is still navigable, but from that point
to Tientsin it is choked with mud, and
is generally derelict, A plan is no
on foot to reconstruct the northei`f
sections. For the time being only
about seven million dollars can be de-
voted to work that will put in order a
section one hundred miles in length.
The reconstruction is in the hands of
American engineers. •
Bluffing the Ene;ny.
Tito "Dover barrage," which was de•
wised by Adm, Hall of the British
navy, has been called the most gigan-
tic bluff of the war.
The "British admiral made what
seemed to be elaborate plans for an
centric nine field across the Channel
from Dover. The navy net out a num-
ber of surface lights and then Adm.
Hall managed to sell the "secret" of
the hypothetical barrage to the Ger-
man spy system for twenty thousand
dollars, In reality no mines were laid;
but the German officials thought other.
