Every tradition associated
tliat Easter flower, the iris, makes
It a beauty of richest promise. It
signifies a message, and, because It
grows in every part of the world, It
Is a universal message. The Greeks
named it for the rainbow, but the | rhurchyards,
Egyptians lay special claim to the
flower.
It Is the plant spoken of In Exodus
as being the hiding place of the in-
fant Moses when he lay In the cra-
dle of the rushes on the river’s bo-
som. It may be that the flowers
whispered to him then that his des-
tiny was to lead his people to the
promised land. The ancient Egyp-
tians placed the Iris on the brow of
the sphinx and on the scepters of
their monarchB, and among all the
eastern nations it has ever been* the
symbol of power. Another land that
highly honors it is France, for it 1s
the veritable fleur-de-lis that figures
the arms of this country. Hut
there is a most beautiful legend that
makes the iris a sacred flower as
well as a national emblem. The
«loquent messages from home. But
despite its unassuming manner the
primrose has linked with its his-
tory a tale of political honors. It is
an heraldic flower giving name to a
noble Scottish house on whose shield
It is graven with a motto that, trans-
lated, reads: “Early youth is charm-
ing.’’ Besides this, it was taken as
the symbol of a political career more
bold, brilliant and strange than any
other of l.s tyfie. The statesman was
Lord Beacwfffield, and in connection
with him ttwre was established in
England a new festival called Primrose Day.
Mythology as well aB history claims the hum-
ble little flower, and tells a tale of its origin. The
story is that a beautiful youth namer Parallsos
died of grief over the loss of his love, and was
metamorphosed into the primrose, which in its
early dayn bore his name.
The fair spring blossoms which Mother Earth
sent forth to herald the coming of Easter have
been gossiping about each other. The tales they
tell about the tulip, that bright favorite of Orien-
tal lands, besides being highly romantic, verge
on the sensational. Its notorious career has been
freely discussed among the less brilliant flowers,
some of which, in spite of their sweet, gentle
dispositions, resent the tulip’s regal bearing and
courtly airs. Few people have ever heard the
stories they tell. In this busy, hustling age only
poets and occasionally other unpractical folk find
time to “trace the family trees” and history of
flowers.
But the tulip, as well as the other blossoms
that are talked about, will probably be welcomed
even more cordially than of old into the churches
and the homes of the best families after its
strange and wonderful past becomes known. The
gay-petaled blossom gets its name from a simi-
larity to the Turkish headdress, and one of the
chief national festivals in the Sultan’s land is
known as the feast of tulips. But the proud flow-
er has done something more than please the
Turks with its beauty.
Once upon a time it held just as great an in-
fluence over the financial affairs of some families
as Wall street has had over those of others. This
all happened something over 300 years ago, when
the tulip was first taken to western Europe.
It wss immediately enthroned as czar in the
floral kingdom, and so great was the rage for it
In Holland and France that many families famed
for wealth were bankrupted by it. The new-
comer’s beauty made even the wise, staid Dutch
florists mad, and speculation in costly bulbs be-
came a terrible gambling mania among them. A
rare specimen often won a prize as high as that
paid for a high-stepping race horse or a fine
diamond. Fortunes changed hands daily in bets
over the final outcome of almost priceless seed-
ling bulbs. The gambling reached such a height
that the government finally had to issue a proc-
lamation to suppress it. During three years
tulips yielded to the city of Haarlem the snug
little sum of $50,000,000. The finest bulbs are
still brought from that Holland town, and are
descendants ot^those famous tulips.
While this/ financial career of the tulip is most
Interesting-oW speculating circles, the poets love
best the taleNbat tells how the young Persan
always makes it the emblem of his declaration of
love. The turbaned swain sends to the lady of
his dreams the most brilliant tulip he can find.
The message it bears is* that like the flower his
countenance Is all on Are and his heart has been
reduced to a coal by the intense warmth of his
love.
The well beloved violet is another gentle little
flower that has been a prominent figure in his-
tory. When the first Napoleon was in exile it
was adopted as his emblem by his followers. A

In his homo, was a secret message that be was
loyal to the exiled chieftain’s cause.
Ion was the name bestowed upon the violet by
the Imaginative Greek who loved to people the
petals of every blossom and the ripples of every
rill with fair creations of their fancy. According
to mythology the name was derived from la, the
daughter of Midas and the betrothed of Atys. The
story runs that Diana, declring to conceal the
maid from Apollo, transformed her Into a violet.
Another myth about the birth of the flower nays
that Jupiter caused the first violets to spring
from the earth as food for the persecuted la
while she was hiding in the form of a white
heifer from the fury of Juno.
The verse makers have a special fondness for
the tiny flower, and love to translate the message
it is trying to tell to the rest of creation.
It is a singular fact that some flowers suggest
pensiveness and even melancholy, whl'e in form,
color and bearing others speak only of gladness.
While the personality of the flower may be some-
what responsible for Bs effect on the human
moods, more, perhaps, is due to the strain of
poets’ moods. Most of the Easter flowers seem
to be message bearers of joy and hope, lifting
their faces to the blue skies in happy worship
rather than in sadness. It Beems to be natural
for poets to give names and human attributes
to plants, but the beauty loving Greeks went
farther along the path of fancy. They Invented
human originals for their favorite flowers, and
made beautiful legends to account for the trans-
formation. The lovely narcissus, according to
their lore, was once a handsome young god who
became so lost In admiration of his own shadow
that he cruelly slighted the affections of the fair
Echo. As a punishment for this crime he was
changed into a narcissus, the flower of self love.
Shakespeare alludes to another romantic
legend In his “Winter Tale.” The narcissus was
said to have been the flower that the daughter
of Ceres was gathering when she was carried
off by Pluto of Infernal region fame. The night
goddesses also chose it for their ancient coronet,
and it was a highly Important factor in the cus-
toms of Greek life. The Chinese, too, have a
great fancy for this flower. They use it in many
of their sacred ceremonies, and every family in
the Mikado’s realm takes great pride in having a
plant in full bloom at the New Year.
Love and jealousy played leading parts In the
story of the birth of the hyacinth, another Orien-
tal favorite. There was a youth, Hyaclnthus by
name, who was much beloved by Apollo and
Zephyr. He preferred the warm, steady affection
of the sun to the fitful love of the wind. This
made the pasionate Zephyr wildly jealous and
caused the plotting of a terrible revenge. While
Apollo and Hyaclnthus were playing quoits, which
was a favorite game with the gods. Zephyr saw
his awaited opportunity. He made his rival the
slayer of Hyaclnthus by blowing the god’s quoit
toward the head of th© youth. But while the
dying boy was held in the arms of Apollo he was
transformed into the fair, fragrant hyacinth. The
flower has always meant game or play because
of this tale.

agonized witness of the crucifixion.

KEEPING ROADS IN CONDITION
Use of Oil, Following the Vogue of the
Automobile, Hae Been Found to
Be Moat Effective.
The use of oil upon the roads Is one
of the many Interesting Innovation!
that have followed the Introduction a

road, but, us the flattened part of the
tire becomes once more rounded oo
j leaving the ground, actually tears and
disintegrates the surface Itself.
As the foundation of the best road
oil, aspbaltmn which is present li
large amounts In the California and
TexaH oils Is unrivaled. In fact, as
authority on the subject declares In
the New York Hun that u road oil U
effective precisely In proportion to th!
amount of usphaltum It carries.
There are three methods of using
the oil. In the most thorough proceni
the road surface Is first broken by tin
plow. It is then sprinkled with th!
heaviest oil half a gallon to a gallon
of oil to the square yard and then
harrowed and rolled. A lasting road-
bed results. This process, with vari-
ous modifications, has been much used
lu California.
Another method that is coming into
very genurul use in the east is to pre-
pare the roadbed by resurfacing th!
crown of the road and brushing off tha
dust. Over this the road oil Is sprin-
kled from a cart, about half a gallon
to the square yard. It is usual to oil
only half of the road at a timo, for
trutllc should be kept from the oiled
surface for a couple of days The
preparation will last a whole season;
but If the oiling Is done oftener, It will
result In an enduring asphalted surf-
ace.
The third method, loss permanently
effective. Is sprinkling the road with
emulsified oil, a mixture of oil, water
and saponifying chemicals- which
lays the dust, and binds the road surf-
ace, nut which calls for reappllcation
every few weeks. If the emulsified
oil has a true usphaltum base, this
method will ultimately result In a dur-
able ajphultum roadbed.
It may be added that many of tha
California crude oils were so weighted
with uaphultuin that for a long time
they were used as fuel only. The
cheialHts. however, have found a way
to extract the naphtha and kerosene,
and leave the asphaltum ulmost pure
for tills new use.
