Religion and poetry have united to make 
the Persian stories the most exquisite of 
all that owe their origin to the rose says 
an exchange. The Persians have a feast 
of roses, beginning when the buds first 
open and continuing throughout the sea- 
son. The Bulbul Nameh lauds the rose 
as God's own flower, and adds that he has 
set the nightingale to keep ward over it. 
Whensoever a rose is plucked the bird 
gives forth a cry, the sweetest and the sad- 
dest cry that mounts to heaven. In the 
springtime the nightingale hovers over the 
fragrant petals until it swoons in a per- 
fumed ecstasy. Nor is the flower less faith- 
ful than the bird, for it does not bloom un- 
til the nightingale sings to the bud. Then 
at the marvelous strains the flower unfolds 
its glories to the waiting air. 
Just What is Needed. 
I do not see how any cemetery of any
