THE PRINCE OF WALES' CANADIAN HOME The ranch in Alberta, purchased by the Prince upon his first visit to the Dominion, and where he will spend a real holiday in the autumn. The ranch has been stocked with •prize cattle from the Prince's English estates. ' Risking Death for Flowers. "Fancy that plant being worth $750!" exclaimed a visitor to the Chelsea Flower Show in London, as they paused to glance for a moment at the new orobid, Odonto Crispum Soler, with its stiff, snowy petals spotted with maroon, "Fancy paying all that money for it!" But orchids are paid for with human lives as well as with gold. Of all oc- cupations, orchid collecting has the highest death. rate. A few years ago, eight orchid hunt- ers, working in Madagascar, dined one evening at Tamatave. They arranged to have another reunion dinner the following year. Whole the appointed day arrived seven cf them were dead. The eighth was in hospital. He stay- ed there for a year, and then sailed for Europe with -permanently broken health. That was unusually hard luck, but every orchid collector knows of many such cases. A collector, a German, who leered at an idol in a Madagascar jungle village, Was soaked in oil and burned to death. You are always on the brink of the I grave while orchid hunting, rays an expert. Invariably these bizarre, quaintly contorted little blossoms lurk in the unhealthiest depths of the jungle, where fever, seakes', great cats, and' ambushed savages with poisoned darts combine to wreck vengeance on the man who violates their privacy. But orchid hunting is a man's' game, We've all got to die one day, and, at all events, we see to it that we do live first. We are up against the real raw stuff of adventure, and we do not know the meaning of boredom. If to- day we have drawn blank, to -morrow we may find a rare Dendrobinm grow- ing in a mouldering skull at a tribe's burying ground, or another treasure or two clustering like mis- tletoe in a cleft at the top of a 90 ft. tree. . The Heart Blossom. An apple, big and red and round; No orchard monarch ever found Surpassed in beauty, taste or smell, This, that from, perfect ripeness fell, Midway 'twl'xt stem and blossom end My blade I made all haste to send— I halved it, In that apple's heart I saw the blossom's counterpart. A seed pod, where each petal fair Had been, lay spread before me there, A working model of the bloom That once had lightened March's gloom, Through all the fortnights that had flown The while that fruitage fine bad grown, The blossom's image had remained To that great apple's heart enchained. Deep down within each human heart Lives our Creator's counterpart', The God -thought out of which we came Still lingers•, ever more the same. —Stickland Gilligan. Beast! Mrs. Longwed: Does your husband allow you to have your own way in everything? Mrs. Junebride: Yes; ,the mean thing! Never once have I had a chance to say "I told you so." MONEY ORDERS.

A Norwegian inventor has, after many years of experiment, discovered a method of making artificial wood. A mixture consisting of sawdust, to- gether with chalk and some chemicals, is subjeoted to heavy pressure, and the result is a substance possessing all the qualities: of timber. Its specific gravity is the same -as• that of genuine wood, its hardness the salve as 'that of oak. It can be planed, sawed, bored, nailed, :painted, stained, or polishedand submitted to every process of carpentry or manufacture to Which real wood is subjected. It will not deteriorate in water, anci, on account of the chemicals• it con- taies, is impervious to rot.. Moreover, it only burns at a temperature very., much higher than that at which real wood catches fire. - tarsi's Liniment for sale everywhere Some milkmen cannot let well. enough alone.

INFANTUM Cholera Infantunl; is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer nir,nths, and unless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25c a box from The Dr. Wil- Iiams' *Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The Story of Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is the most popular nick- name in the United States.. We all know the jovial, lanky, beard- I ed Ame"roan with his peculiar tap -hat, his voluminous coat, and striped trousers strapped under his boots, How • did his name originate? 'One account dates from the war of 1812, when there lived in Troy, New York, a man called Samuel Wilson, commonly referred to as Uncle Sam; His work was to inspect pork and beef bought for the Government. Elbert Anderson, a contractor, , or- dered several cases to be addressed to the United States, and signed with his own initials- • An employee marked the packages "E.A,--U.S.,.' and when ask- ed their meaning, replied, jokingly, that obviously they referred to Elbert Afiderson and -Uncle Sam, The joke spread, until finally Uncle Sam wan understood to stand for the United States. Nitnerd'a Llnimeat� used by Physicians, The Speed of Thought. Until recently it was generally con- sidered that a thought occurred with the speed of lightning. But modern methods of measurement have shown that the speed of thought is not by any means exceptional. The time taken for a nervous im- pulse to travel from the elbow to the brain and thence to the wrist proved that it did so at about 180ft. a second. Similarly a frog thinks at the rate of about 90ft. a second, and It takes two seconds for a. whale 150ft. long to realize that he has been harpooned in tee tail and to lash out with it. In -some peculiar way, however, the speed of thought seems to depend upon the temperature of the body. If a man's body ii warm he is able to think quicker than if he'is cold; and if his nerves are frozen they will not con- duct impulses at all, A frog at seventeen degrees will think only half as quickly as another at thirty-five, while if the frog be warmed to the temperature of a man the animal will think equally as quick- ly. A sold -blooded creature like the fresh -water mussel thinks o4aly at about two and a half !etches a second. One - of the cuttlefishes thinks at the rate of these feet a second in winter and the octopus in summer three to five times as- quickly. Many drugs, as well as cold, will de- crease the speed of thought—chloro- form hought chloroform obviously, and ether and alcohol less obviously. The ability to think quickly seems to vary, too, with temperament. A melancholic or lethargic man thinks more slowly than a choleric individual. In all eases., however, it is practically impossible to tire out the nerves. They will always, think even though, the brain, which receives, . the impulses, may be too tired to deal with them, Singer and Shepherd. When Mme. Emma Calve, the great singer, is at home she lives in an an- cient castle perched on .a rocky moun- tain side in her native province of Avey ro•n, in the south of France. It is the castle of Cabieree, and it Was built in the year 1050. A natural plat- form of rock juts out in front of it like the prow of a •ship, and there tee sing- er, who especially loves the ancient folk songs of her country, often stands answering the songs of the shepherds who watch their sheep on the distant uplands. One day, however, she sang before a shepherd on the farther side of the mountain, a boy of sixteen who was guiding her with a party of guests from the chateau through the famous grotto of. Dargilan, a labyrinthine suc- cession of caverns.. We came at last, Madame Calve re- lates, in her recent autobiography, to a tremendous cave. Its vast, mysterious. depth fascinated me. I began to sing. The boy started and turned toward me. "Ohl" he exclaimed. "Haw lovely! If the mistress could hear you, she would certainly give you a job. You could come every day and sing far the tourists. I ant sure she would pay you much money for it." "How much do you think she would pay me?" I asked. "Well, - n -ow," he said judiciously,. screwing up his brow and scratching his bead, "it's hard to say.. I think she might go as high as five francs a day. It would be good business." "I'll think it over," I answered. "It's very kind of you to give me the tip. But don't you know me? I live over the way at Cabrieres." "No. madame; I have never been so favus that.' Our church is up there on the plateau, and that is as far. as I have ever traveled." A year later I was again visiting the grotto. The boy was still there. He recognized me and came toward me, twisting his cap in his hands. "Good morning, madame," he mumbled. "I guess you had a good laugh at me last year." "What do you mean," I asked. "Why should I laugh at you?" "I was told afterwards who you were," he answered. A nice kind of fool you must have thought me with my five francs a dayl They tell me that in the Americas you don't have to do more than yawn to earn eight pairs of oxen!" aw�r £moriea'e Pioneer DOSItemedies Boo:: on DOG DISEASES - '• and How to Feed Mailed Free to any Ad- dress by the Author.

An electric alarm which will give warning is the subject of a patent is. sued to an American inventor. A pair of pipes are arranged upon a tripod. The upper pipe is provided with forks at the top which are adjusted against the roof. This pipe slides into a second pipe and rests against a spring. Con- tracts are arranged in au ingenious way as to close on the two wires cf an electric circuit, and bells are rung if the roof moves alter the device is set.
