In the district around Ste Anne de
la Pocatiere, the combined fibre and
seed harvesting method is the most
commonly used. For this purpose,
the flax must reach a more advanced
stage of maturity. Pulling is started
when about half the stems are yel-
low and the seed bolls are turning
brown. The stage of maturity is a
very important factor in fibre flax cul -
'cure. Thus, flax pulled when too
ripe gives fibre of poor quality, be-
cause the fibre in a mature plant has
yielded part of its oil to the seeds.
For this reason, pulling must begin
early in order that the last plants
harvested will not be overripe. This
applies mainly to farms where a fair-

A FAVORITE OF KINGS.
Rosalind Thomsen Was Once Famous
Actress and Singer.
llosalind Thomsen, who dies re-
cently in Copenhagen, was once a
famous actress, and the favorite of
kings.
A romantic episode marked the be-
ginning of her meteoric career. A
slim, blue-eyed naval cadet, appear-
ing one day In the ante -chamber. of
King Frederick VII. of Denmark,
pushed a way through the crowd of
courtiers to the king and announced
that "be" was a girl named Rosalind
Thomsen. She revealed her ambition
to become an actress and to appear at
the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
She had donned the cadet's costume,
as otherwise site would never have
been able to reach the king.
King Frederick interested himself
in the girl and helped her to realize
her ambition. Her success was- in-
stantaneous, carrying her at once to
the favor 'of the public. She made
the acquaintance of Bjornson, who
wrote a play and love songs for her.
Hans Andersen was another friend
of hers. He gave her introductions
to Germany, where she won the fav-
or of the brad Ring of Bavaria, Then
she migrated to Sweden, where an-
other king, Oscar II., became attract-
ed by her. In the early eighties her
voice broke and she married a brash
manufacturer named Bosse. Penury
and failing mental powers darkened
her last years.
