The Rose in History.
The rose has played, an important
pert in English history.
The Wars of the Roses were fought
in the fifteenth century between the
Houses of York and Lancaster, and
lasted fen: a period of thirty years. The
war ceased through the union of the
two I-1,ouses by the marriage of Henry
VII., of the Lancastrian line, to Eliza-
beth, heiress of York, and eldest
daughter of Edward 117. Now the
Rouse of Lam:aster wore as its badge
the red rose (The Rose Gule); whilst
that of York. wore the white or (Rose
Argent). There was after the mar-
riage a tradition that then growing in
the garden of a certain monastery in
Wiltshire was on•e particular rose-
bush, which, during the troubles 01 the
land, had, to the amazement of the be-
holders, borne at once roses red and
roses white, About the time of the
marriage of Henry and Elizabeth, all
its flowers blossomed forth with petals
of red and white mixed in stripes,
which was hailed as an omen of future
peace and harmony.
The Tudors., who were descendants
of Henry .and. Elizabeth, adopted the
rose as their flower.

land, the rose ie the badge of the Rich-

It is said that the rule dates back
to the old and unpleasant days when

the right y-ou could watch the gentle-
man who happen.ed to be passing you,
and if leo put his hand to Ills sword you
had a chance of producing your own.

Dr4.1stic Steps Are Taken
in Quebec.
Because of the menace of forest
fires In the Province of Quebec,. the
Hon. Mr. Mercier, Minis.ter of Lands
and Forests, has imposed further dras-
tic restrietion.s• with regard to the use
of fire in wooded section's of his pro-
,
Vince.
The most Decent decision of the
Minister is to forbid the granting of
any more permits to settlers or farm-
ers to burn slash, or tree refuse, until
farther n•atice. The regulation will be
eeforeed until all danger from forest
flies is over. Up to the present, set-
tlers were able to secure permits from
fire rangers to burn slash, but now,
even this permit system has been tem-
porarily. suspended.
It is also interesting to nate th.at, for
some time past, the Quebec Provincial
Government has enforced. a regulatioii
which requires all visitors to forest or
mountain districts to get a permit from
a local fee ranger for the purpose,o,f
entering the forest. Even with a per-
mit, the strangers are not alloWed td
use fire under certain conditions.. No
Charge is made for such a permit and
it ean usually be obtained without
mu,cla difficulty.
The main effect of the permit,' -of
couree, is educative, as it is accom-
panied , by strong warning- regarding
the firedanger and its possession un-
doubtedly creates a sense of responsi-
bility with the oard holder,
Anyone can see results; it takes a
wise man to discern causes.
