COULDN’T FORGET THE GREEN Mrs. Flannigan’s Neat Expression of Loyalty to Her Native and Her Adopted Land.

But the other day when her neighbor, whose son was in France for several months, pulled back her window curtain and revealed her flower pots, decorated in red, white and blue paper, Mrs. Flannigan was visibly troubled. She worried and worried. It is quite hard to be loyal to two countries at the skme time, yet Mrs. Flannigan desired to be so. Then one morning her wide Irish smile came back to her face. And passers-by saw in the Flannigan front window a row of flower pots brave in red, white and blue coverings and every covering was tied to the pot with a wide band of green, ribbon. Embarrassing. I was giving a lecture to my juniors on the life of Shakespeare.

That It Possesses Invigorating Action That Affects Growth of Plants. Dew is vitalizing, not entirely because it is water but because it possesses ah invigorating action due part- , ly at any rate to the fact that It is saturated with oxygen, and it has been stated that during its formation peroxide of hydrogen and some ozone are developed. It is not improbable that the peculiarly" attractive and refreshing quality that marks the early-morn-ing air has its origin in this way. The difficulty of inducing grass to flourish under a tree in full leaf is well known and is generally explained by saying that the tree absorbs the nourishing constituents of the soil or that it keeps the sunlight away from the grass and protects it from rain. It is doubtful whether any of these explanations is true, the real reason most probably being that the vitalizing dew cannot form upon the grass under a tree, whereas as a rule both rain and light can reach it.
