long been anticipating' the trip, a,nd
had fullstexpected to accompany ber
!y.ouing mistress, up to within a week
of her departure.
But, ever since tbe Melt of her
romantic, though mortifying 4.dven-
tura, Florence had entertabled an
unaccountable aversion for Anna;
and when one day, Mrs. Seaver pro-
posed leaving her at berme, she read- -
ilY, even eagerly, assented to the
arrangement.
"It would be somewhat of a nui-
sance having her to Look after," that
lady, had observed, "for, of cou-rse,
she could not always accompany us
upon our sightseeing, anti would have
to remake alone at our botel dur-

distrust her, and led her to fear
tliat she was not always as true to
•her mistress' intereets as elm miglit
be; therefore she thouglat this a
goad op..h
portunity to get rid of er.
accordingly Florence gave Anna
her mortice, and on the day of her
departure, made her a handsome pre-

that she would have 'her revenge for

Largest Flower M the World.
The raffesia is a strange plant. It
grows in Sumatra, and derives its name
from Sir Stamford Raffles, Governor of
Sumatra at one time, and ids friend, Dr.
Arnold, a naturalist. They were the first
white men to discover the wonderful
plant. It is said to be the largest and
most magnificent flower in the world,
11 is composed of five roundish petals,
each a lot across and of a brick red
color, covered with numerous irregular
yellowish white swellings. The petals
surround a cup nearly a foot wide, . the
margin of which bears the stamens.
This cup is lead with a, fleshy disk,
the upper surface of which is every-
where covered with the projections like
miniature cows' horns. The cup when
free from its contents, would hold about
'twelve pints of water. The flower
weighs fifteen pounds. It is very thick,
the petals being three-quartees of an
inch in thickness. With its beauty one is
led to _expect sweetness, but its odor
' is that oe tainted beef, and Dr. Arnold
supposed that even the flies were de-
ceived by the smell and were depositing
their eggs in the thick disk, taking it
for a piece of carrion.

kovski lies succeeded in unearthing ex-
tensive portions of the walls and founda-
tions of the original city, which date
back fro tu the seventh ceutury,11.0. The
masonry is identical with that of ruins
of ancient cities excavated in various
parts of Greece. Before thie depth was
reached two different strata of walls
and basements bearing descriptions of
the fourth and first centuries B. 0. were
encountered.
The stone 'blocks composing the ruble

per strata are of remark-a,bly exact area.,

ed. The more solid constructive work

TO EXTERMINATE HOUSE FLIES.
Scientists having proved that the common
house fly is responsible for the spread of
some of the most deadly diseases, it becomes
the duty of every housekeeper to assist in
exterminating the little pests.
Many aootriraaces havo been usecl for the
purpose, Including fly traps of many kinds,
sticky paper, and diferent makes of poison,
but although all will kill some Dies there
always seems to be as many left as ever.
There is only one really effectual way to
kill them all, and that is Wlison's Ply Pads,
being sure to follow the direetions carefully.
One ten cent packet of Wilsons Fly rade
has been known to kill a beam' of files, anti
a few pads properly used will kill all the
flies in any room in a few hours.
