This perfume earner shcutd oleo in-
clude the sweet -foliaged sweetbrier,

are so easy to cultivate that no gar-

The plants I have named are merely
a few out of the many. There is no
end to the variety of sorts one might
introduce into the perfume corner.
Walk through a modern garden, and:
you will find yourself in a sort of
Fairyland, where your eyes will feast
on the mast exquisite colors. But it
le the eyes only that will feast. The
exquisite blossoms which surround
you are almost all completely scent-
less.
Now walk through one of those de.'
rightful, ofd -fashioned cottage gardens
that still linger in those secluded back-
waters where hybridisers are un-;
known and horticultural catalogues do t
not penetrate. You will find here a:
quieter, less flamboyant beauty. The'.
appeal to the eyes will be less immedi-
ate and less insistent. But you will
remember that garden for long --far
longer than you will remember the
other. You will remember it because
of lis myriad fragrances the sweet-!
nest, with which its air is laden.
Visions of Childhood.
The sweet peas that grow here will i
probably only be single bloomsbut!
they will have that elusive, fascinat-
ing fragrance that conjures up visions:
of childhood, carries us bade to the
days wbeu our innocent eyes were
still wide with wonder as they cooked
out upon the beauty of the world.
True, they would look rather insig
nificant, these old-fashioned sweet'
peas, by the side of the many -spiked,;
many -colored blame cf the more mod-
ern garden. And the roses that spray
the air of our unpretentious bock -
water with their sweetness cannot!
match their more modern fellows in
form or color.
But in almost every case the gain in
appearance has been purobasel at the;
cost of scent. The new roses and the,
new sweet peas are almost all scent -
leas. Take such exquisite roses as
Baroness Rothschild and Frau Karl:
Druschki. They are truly beautiful,
and no gardener would feel that hist
rose -garden was complete without
them. But they are quite eeontiess,'
and 1, at least, am old-fashioned
enough to consider that the greatest!
beauty of a rase is its scent.
New Names and Old Fragrance.
I write "is," but I would Almost have
been more accurate to use the past
tense. For in the multitude of new
roses there is little scent, if much
form and color. Shakespeare's
"A rose
By any other name would smell as
sweet,"
is, indeed, now rather out of date. The
new names are legion, and the roses
that bear them, as a general rule, have
lost the old rose perfume.
As a general rule, the sweetest-
scented flowers and plants are Ilse
least showy. And as the great aim of
modern gardening appears to be to
&berm the eye, these modern but frag-
rant prante are being hanishorl frwn
our flower•beds.
But need this bo so? Cannot we give
up to those friends of our youth at
roast a portion of our gardens? There
they may blush unseen by the eyes
that are drawn away by the mora
stately and striking blooms around
them, but they will not -waste their
sweotnosa on the desert air. Their
fragrance will add a now and subtle
beauty to tbo garden that admits

Chinese Hair -Net Industry.
The hair -net buslncws in China has
had quite a history. It was establish-
ed originally by Germans, who im-
ported the nets from Chefca ito Ger-
many and then exported them to the
United States as European -made hair
nets. There is still considerable ex-
port of humamhair nets from China i
to European countries.
When direct trade in human -hair
nets was taken up with China, large
quantities of imperfect, under -sized,
and generally poor nets were exported,
This finally resulted In tho eotablislt-
ment in Chefoo and Tsinan, by the
foreign and a few larger Chinese ex-
porters, of hair -net inspection face
tories, some employing as many as
1,000 operatives, where hair -net car-
goes are inspected and, if necessary,
the nets repaired before being shipped.
The net -making itself is a home or
"cottage" industry; the hair is dis-
tributed around in the various vil-
lages ---1n the hinterland of Chefoo and
in the region of the Shantung Railway
—and the nets usually pass through
the hands of several Chinese middle-
men before they are offered by the
Chinese dealers to exporters,

The . Queen's Taste in
Sunshades.
It is hard to surmise what was In
the queen's mind. Did eho:elisdain to
change her orders, or did she intend
to set a sensible example, as sho often
liked to de? The story as. Mr. William
Le Quenx tells it in Things I Know is
of Queen Victoria's last visit to Nice.
About a fortnight after the queen's
arrival, writes Mr. Le Quenx, while
passing up the Avenue de la Gare 1
raet a well-known detective, Superin-
tendent Fraser, •cf Scotland Yard, who
with Monsieur Paoli, of the Paris
Swede, was her majesty's personal
protector, 'When I asked bins whither
he was hurrying he replied:
"Como with me, I am going on s—
well, a very confidential mission!"
At once I turned back with him.
To my surprise he stopped before 'a
cheap draper's shop and, pointing to
a long string of black -and -white
striped sunshades open and swaylue
in the wind, inquired their price.
"Five francs, fifty," replied the dark -
eyed Provencal girl in French.
My friend besitated and inquired
whether they were of silk.
"No, tn'sieur, they are cotton," was
the reply.
With that he turned away. Then he
explained that the queen, who had.
been out for her afternoon drive, had
just returned and, calling him, had
told him that in the Avenue de la Gare
she had been attracted by some sun-
shades hanging cutstda .a shop. "Go
and buy nye one, Fraser," she had
commanded. "They are the very
thing I want here."
"But," exclahned my Mend to me,
"grow can I take the queen a four -and -
seven -penny sunshade? Come back
with me, and when I have told her we
will go out to the cafe!"
I walked back with him to Cimiez
and waited while he passed along the
corridor of the great hotel to her ma-
jesty's apartments.
Ills face had changed when he re-
turned a few minutes latera "I told
the queen," be said, "but she has or-
dered me to go back at once. She
seemed quite indignant and saki,

Childhood without pets, is bleak and
barren and altogether incomplete.
Lille a vine in the desert, with ten-
drils blown in every direction because
there isno object to twine around, the
child without some dumb creature to
love 'mid protect finds his bubbling
impelisea and loving longings crushed
to earth, He needs to lavish his grow-
ing and expansive affection upon some
suitable object, otherwise he loses
more than can be oouutod and weigh-
ed.
What the child loves he will most
observe and study. Some knowledge
comes concerning' the habits and ways
of the little creatures that sbare his
life; and personal affairs are insensibly
arranged so that there will be time
for everything—for play, for stories,
for work. Birds must be fed regularly,
rain or shine, no matter how tempting
the invitations of playmates or the
latest fairy tale. The dog must be
washed and kept in the house until
thoroughly dried. If the kitten is doll
and stupid its little owner must see
that its food is more carefully select-
ed, that it does not have too much
heat. Perhaps his small savings will
have to be expended in catnip. The
playful 'puppy must bo trained with
infinite patience not to trample on the
flower -beds, not to scratch the furni-
ture, nor tear holes in clothes. Ani-
mals must also bo taught to avoid
danger, even if pain be inflicted to in-
sure their future soil -preservation. AL-
tentioe to these details influences the
mind and character, leading to firm-
ness without harshness, to economy
of time, to order, method and regu-
rarity.
Children, like most savages, are
many times cruel. Animals that are
dependent have a civilizing influence
upon the child, for the savagery of
children is that of ignorance, not of
malice. The many wants of pets, their
helplessness, awaken a sense of moral
responsibility. A living creature can-
not be neglected without darn and
suffering following. Very different le

Childhood, like every age, needs its
duties. These must be simple and
genuine, not tasks imposed arbitrarily
which another night do as well. The
child's duties should bo definite and
inexorable, not done at all if he for-
gets or neglects them. Through pro-
tection, uurlure, and ownership of liv-
ing things inexorable duties are best
presented. The child secures in this
way scene of the best lessons 1n self-
denial and self-control, acquires a sense
of personal responsibility and wise
restraint, and is taught in the most
natural way, and all unconsciously, to
appreciate the rights of others, even
the humblest, and to respect them al-
ways. More than this, by doing deeds
that merit gratitude, children begin
dimly to understand how much grati-
tude they owe to the loving hearts and
health forever busy in their behalf.
There is a certain spiritual and Intel-
ieetual growth that comes from pro-

It has taken years of painstaking and
expensive effort to accomplish this..
But it is accomplished. Two of Win-

died also. It has long been known
that Vancouver and Montreal were the
double headquarters of this traffic for
Canada,, if not for the continent. C'on-
siderable improvement Is reported in
Vancouver, and groat lmprovenienl in
Montreal. This is due to aggressive
effort and close co-operation by the
