SOME WONDERS "OE VEGETABLE WORLD
In bo any, certain trees and '„plants,
stand out from the majority, owing
to their monstrous size, eccentric
shape, and mysterious properties.
In Sumatra have been found the.
largest flow -els yet discovered. On one
species of the trees in that island
grows parasitically a large, carbuncle -
like bud, which expands into a flower
measuring from three to six feet
across. - ' f
Its • cup will hold twelve pints of
fluid, and its weight is fourteen;
pounds. This flower was discovered
by Sir Thomas Raffles and pr. Ar-
nold, and hence its name, "Rafflesia
Ao'noldi.” Its exceptional sive and
curious scent, which ; resembles that
of tainted beef, would make it an
extraordinary and unpleasant bouton-
niere.
In . Western Sumatra grows -•a 'still
larger flower, Amorphallus Titanum.
This plant hos two stages of existence
—first as a flower, next as a tree. The
flower growsto about three feet in
height, and measures about the same
across. Its appearance is grand; but
the smell,' like that of the former
flower, is offensive, an odp' being
emitted from the cone' like decaying
fish. Within :the cone are the seeds
'of the plant, growing out of the stem.'
When\the flower dies it falls.; away,
ar-d then the.stem shoots rapidly into
the air. Increasing in circumference
as it' does so, it grows to the height
of eight feet. On the top are clue
ters o' seeds, some four hundred in',
number. Each -seed is as large as a
date, and of a bright holly -berry red.
Another large flower is the well-
known Victoria Regia, one of the
grandest and most beautiful of

Of large trees, one of the most use-

East Indies, China, Japan, and other

with great rapidity. Ten feet in ' a

The wood is split and woven into
cloth for sails, mats and cordage, and
the pith produces bread, starch and
paper. The Bamboo is thus almost
invaluable to the nativ'eis of the
tropics.

The Dragon's Blood is' considered
to be one of the longest -lived, of trees.
It is a native of the island' of Tener-
iffe. The, .finest enecimen known is
the giant tree of Oratava, and is said
to have been seen in the year 1400,
when it was as large as,it is now.
This tree is named from its, product
—the astringent resin known as dra-

used in medicine, but now chiefly
known as a red varnish.

Splendid Advertisement for Canada.
• These blooms should be a novel and
potent advertisement for Canada as
they find their way into homes in all

indicate that besides a winter of vigor
which aids in the production of the
world's best wheat and makes possible

Canada has a summer of equal at-
tractiveness which ripens that wheat
and creates opportunity for an alto-
gether different order of diversion
which lures holidaymakers from all

The summer in Canada is a season

When you hear a bird sing
In spring,
The sun goes riding high;
The iwide sky ,
Is a glad blue cry;
Small leaves applaud,
And from the sod
Violets nod.
I heard a bird song
Long, long
Before spring.
Only a wind -worn pine,
And the grey whine
Of a lost thing
Accompanying.
No grave from the sky,
No lift from the sod'

Follow the Sun.
"Such a pleasant room—it gets so
much sun!"
You often hear a proud householder
make this remark about one of his
rooms. But, unfortunately, the room
that gets the scorning sun will often
be dull In the afternoon, and vice
versa.
In some of the newer houses you
may have one room with windows
facing three points of the compass,
and in that case you get a pretty good
share of sunshine. The latest idea,
however, goes still further—it is a
villa built on a turntable, so that by
pressing a button you can make the
room you are sitting in follow the
sun. , s
The revolving villa is a good idea,
but as there is a button in every
room, two sun -lovers in efferent parts
of the house might give the rest of
the inmates rather a "giddy" time.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Have No

Anaemia, or lack of good blood',
causes not only pale faces and white
lips; it is the root of many pains and
miseries. It is the cause of shattered
herpes, headaches and backaches, and
the always tired feeling from which
so many women and girls suffer. To
regain new health and 'strength the
blood should be enriched through the
tonic treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. This medicine has brought
new health and strength to thousands
of weak, despondent people. -
Among those who have found neva
health through the use of this medi-
cine is Mrs. Gregory J. Murphy, East
Ship Harbor, N.S., who' says:—"I
bless the day I heard of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. Before I began their use
I was In a run-down and' very weak
condition. The least exertion would
leave me breathless and tired out.
Housework welt a trial, and at times
I felt very despondent. A friend ad-
vised me to try'' Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and I got six boxes. I had not
been. taking the p1110 very long until
I began to improve in health, and
continuing their use they restored me
to my former good health. I also
gave the pills to my daughter, who
was anaemic and run-down, with the
same good results. Now I always
have the pills In the house, and would

the labors of burlesque writers and

as follows:

ation, seeing little hope of ultimate
succe s. they finally withdrew and

fore Hamburg. What he gained by it
will be seen on the other side."
