No two milling companies follow exactly the same process of milling. In fact, no two different brands of flour in the world are exactly alike in quality. And here is another fact worth knowing Every wheat berry contains both high-grade and low-grade por- tions. The process of milling PURITY flour costs more than to iuill ordinary flour. The low- grade portions are separated and excluded. PURITY is an ALL IITGII-GRADE, hard wheat flour. It has greater strength, greater absorption and greater expansion. It is a thirstier, more elastic flour. It drinks more water and expands into more loaves, Use PURITY FLOUR for your next batch of bread. Count the loaves.

The •influence of a prospectus of some company about to be launched, painted in glowing colors how easy it will be to double and treble one's cap- ital in a comparatively short time by investing it in that company, has been the ruin of many farmers. 'Those of us who are thinking. of investing our money away from the farm would do well to bear in mind the opinion of such companies held by the late Rus- sell Sage, a multi -millionaire. He re- marked at one time that he would pre- fer,a five per cent investment with a little • uncertainty to a hundred per cent investment on a "sure thing." 'Several hundred per cent or even thousand• per cent money making schemes have "gcod through" recently, eaving the investors without even a return of the principal. Trite misfor- tunes of the shareholders in these con- cerns should be a warning to us.

A Species in British Gtliana Wheu* Wines Are Transparent,. In "Our Search For a Wilderness" Mr. William. Beebe of the New Toric zoot.rgieal park describes hisgest sight of the transparent butterfly— iioetera plena—of British Guiana, an tnseot tbrougb whose outstretched wings any substnuce on which It rests can bo clearly seen. As we crossed a swirling creek on the trunk .of a mighty fallen tree something fluttered ahead. We could not see what it was. Closer we came, unci still the object remained India - duct. We Seemed to see a butterfly, and yet that appeared impossible. At last we marked It down on a fern frond and crept up until our eyes were within two feet of it. Nothing was visible but the graceful laceworlc of the frond until a slanting beam of sunlight struck it, and there, close before us, was the ghost of a butter- Oy. It spread fully three inches, but was wholly transparent. save for three tiny :Tots.of azure near the margin of each hind wing. As we looked it drifted to a double treaded Clower of scarlet, and when it alighted the scarlet of the flower and the green of the leaf•were as distinct as if seen through thin mica. and the faint gray haze of the Insect's Wings was marked only by the indistinct venation. The appearance of this ghostly but- terfly amid the sileuee and awe inspir- ing stillness of the reeking jungle was most impressive. BIG BELLS.

"Great Paul" of St. Paul's cathedral, in Loudon, weighs nearly seventeen tons and is nearly thirty feet around. The first "Big Ben" of =Westminster was cast more than fifty years ago and weighed about 'fourteen tons and was about twenty-eight feet around. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was made over,.

Tile whole bell on both sides is covered with an in- scription in embossed Chinese char- acters about half an inch in length• covering even the top piece from which it swings, the total numbei• be- ing 84,000.

The Manaus, a weekly published in Rolne. in live languages, states that one of the methods adopted by the Japanese to .produce their curious dwarf' trees is ns follows: The pulp of 811 orange is removed through a sunup 'tole and the skin tailed with a mix lure of wool, charcoal/and rich elrth, with one seed toward the opening in the skin. The orange is put in a glass and watered by the hole, and every now and then a little wood ash is added. .The plant shoots through the opening. and the roots pierce the skin.
