TO THE ROSE. I “ The rose is the national flower of Kngland, and, supreme as it is among 'lowers, ih feeds our pride in our conn-! try and in our selves as no other flower. Flowers quicken the sense, of j heautv so gieatly that the right love of them is almost one with the* sense o'f romance, and for the romance that lies in the extravagance of beauty no flower will hear comparison with the rose. Few types of women, even, will sustain that comparison, although there are many types of roses. The rose bursts upon us in the full pride of the summer, and is one with it, and is almost the essence of it. After it the summer lias' nothing further to reveal, for the gold of autumn is but decay, and even tlie carnation that might hold its own with ativ other flower, though it challenges the rose, and vies with it in every 'feature of scent and colour, equals it in none, and is by every single i one of its charms sealed the rose’s vas- ] sal. The rose, too, is among flowers the only lit emblem of life.” —From “ Samuel Langford, Unusual Criticisms,” edited by Mr Neville Cardus. SEE YOUR OWN COUNTRY FIRST. Travel round New Zealand—see your own country first. One of the features of the country is Pulmonas, the antiseptic pastille, that quickly relieves colds, coughs, sore throats, asthma and bronchitis.

QUAINT OLD INN SIGNS. “Help Me Through” is the name of a licensed house at Elton, Bury, Lancs. Its sign /depicts a globe with the' head and feet of a man protruding at tne top and bottom respectively. There is also “Same Yet,” in Simister Lane, Rhodes, Lanes. The original name of the house was “The Red Lion.” It was being redecorated and when a signwriter asked what was required, he received the reply, “Same Yot,” and t with complied. And so it remains to this day.
