RARE PLANT AT OTTAWA
3.65
Only One of its Kind in Canada
Blooms Once In 150 Vbay.0.
To have been in existence for over
half a century, to bloom once and
then wither away', is likely to be the
fate of the "Agave Attenuate," in the
Government greenhouse at Ottawa.-
The Agave'is one of the rarest flowers
known, and the one at Ottawa is the
only one in. Canada About forty
years ago, when the present green
braises were erected on Parliament
Hill; the plant was moved there. Very
little was known about it, and it was
tenderly cared for and curiously
watched to see what it would do. The
plant at last assumed its maturity,
and this is likely to cause its death.
The only other known specimens are
in the botanical gardens in Washing.
ton, D.C. The only times that they
are known to have bloomed were in
1897 and 1898.
The plant is a native of Mexico, and
was discovered by plant hunters there
In 1834. It is not known how the
specimen cane to Canada, but it is
thought that It was through the agency.

LABOR IN VM[
The Young Dee and the Thief of Her
Burrow -home
The man, in passing, carelessly
swished his cane against the wall-
flower, raid she went off from it as
though else were a rocket and the cane
a match.
She was a bee -not very big, being
only about half an inch in length;
but she was black, with tawny -yellow
legs, and she was very hairy, and
somehow that made her look larger
than site was. Also her hum made
her seem more dangerous shah she
really was, for there is some doubt
as to whether her sting could have
pierced anybody's skin. At that mom-
ent she was gathering honey and poi-
len, aud,to judge by appearances, she
was about full up, for the pollen
covered her like gold dust, and she
seemed literally to ooze honey at every
joint—which, after all, is only another
way of making beeswax. Then, all
of a sudden, and without a fraction
of a second's warning, a strange thing
happened. The bottom of the floor
she was standing upon—that Is;. the.
leaf on to which she had backed—
fell out. Our bee fell, too, with this.
part of the leaf for a space, till she
could collect herself. Then an odd
face, with huge eyes, looked over
from the other side and said ''Bzeisl
very angrily, and sho fled. She had
been sitting on a part of a leaf which
was being out through .from the other
side by a leaf -cutter bee—who lines
her nests with neat pieces out from
loaves—and—well, the piece had collie
out. iOur bee went booming away
through the hot sunshine, whirring
like an aeroplane, and in a direct line..
She wasnot alone, The air was. foil
of insects, busy passing' upon their
"lawful oceasions:"
But it seemed at first as if our bee
—who ,evidently ltnow where :ilie 1109
going—was alone all the same. In a
moment, however, it was evident Iliac
one flew with her, as If guardingher
and ,;a.,lfog her through thedngsr.
ous avenues of the aerial ways. He
was like her, but bright brown, and
was her husband, if our insect -may
be said to have a husband, and there
were men who said that he had never
.been known to settle. He certainly
was always on the wing whenever I
saw him.
Presently, after being once chased
by one bird, once nearly caught by
.another, and once attacked by
some big wasp thing,, they let them-
selves down to a clay bank. The face
of the bank was alive with females
of our bee's own kind, rushing in and
out of holes --each to her own hole—
and the air was alive, too, with males,
dancing the maddest dizzy, humming
'dance that ever you saw.
Our bee hurried straight to her
Awn burrow, only to bump into an-
other bee who was coming out. This
bee was more slim, and black, with
white spots on her body. She hut,
tied away, and our - bee, instead of
killing her, as she ought to have done,
rushed in and placed her store of
Honey and pollen beside the egg sho
had already laid.
Then she cemented the wails' up,
and came away happy, But she
might have saved herself the trouble,
for the other bee was a "cuckoo;' who
had already laid an egg there herself,
the grub from which would eat up all
the honey and pollen intended for our
bee's own grub.

pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
This is another record of the Lord
delivering His people by a strange in
strament, strong physically, but very
weak spirituallye one who might have
been a very .great man for God if he
had kept himself wholly for God, yet
honorable mention is made of him in
Heb. xi, 32. The story of Samson cov-
ers four chapters, xiii to sive of which
our . lesson chapter tells of the an-
nouucemeut of his coming, bis birth
and growth to manhood: Tlae other
three chapters tell of his doings, and
whatever was worth while was by the
Spirit of the Lord, who is "mentioned
four times (xiii, 25; xiv, 6, 19; xv, 14).
It was during the longest period of
Israel's oppression that Samson was
born and when he came to manhood
began to deliver Israel. They aid evil
again to the sight of the Lord and
were oppressed by the Philistines for-
ty years (verse 1). The messenger
from hUaven, who appeared first to
lhtnoah's wife and later to llanoah,
is mentioned fourteen times and is
called the angel of the Lord ten times,
the angel of God twice and the man of
God twice. When asked his name by
Dianoah he replied it Is "Wonderful"
(verse 1S, margin and 14. V., text).
which is the same name as in Isa. ix.
6, so that we recognize the Son of God.
whose goings forth have been from of
old, Prom the days of eternity (Dile.
v, 2), who appeared to .Gideon, to
Moses. to.Ioshua and others.
As here He appeared first to him
nosh's wife, it is at least most inter-
esting to note that He is first called
"the angel of the Lord" in Elis ap.
penting- to ringer. and it is written
that 'she called the nameof the Lord,
who spoke auto 1tor, Thou God sent
ate' (Gen. eve 7-13). This was else
In connection with a child to be born,
who was the first Hunted before Lis
birth, and there were just six others
so named. It le worthy of note that
asllanoah and his wife bad no child,
so It was also with Zacharias and
Elizabeth. and in some respects the
boys were similar (compare lesson
verses 4, 5 and Luke i, 15-17).
There is more in these Bible records
than any of us have yet seen, and
some day in the kingdom we will be
!ai',prised at their sigulticauco. We
may not be able to toll why this man
and his wife of the tribe of Dau
were choseu to be thus honored,
but possibly they were devout, like
the father end mother of John the
Baptist. We may judge from lesson
worse 8 that llanoah knew the Lord
;tad lcuew how to pray and obtain an
answer. The lesson is called a temper•
fume lesson because his wile was for-
bidden to drink wine or strong drink
(verses 4, 14) or vs eat anything that
cometh of the vine or anything me
clean. The child was to be u Naz•
unite unto God all his lire (verses
5, 7).
The esseutinl thought of such cense
oration was separation unto the Load,
and the full requirement 1s given iti
-
Nstn. v1, where it' Is seen that either
1)110 or woman .might take such a
vow, but If they . became defiled the
digs of their defileulentwere lost
(vel'se. 121. It '11118 a vow only for u
time• and when fulfilled the Nazarite
might drink wine (verses 13, 20), In
the case of Samson he was to be a
Nezarlte from birth to death, but be
because defiled through his fellowship
with Delilah (chapter xvi, 17-20).
Tilero were few Nazarltes, and our
Lord Jesus was the. ouly perfect one'
in the sense of being wholly and al.
ways separated unto God.
Because it Is so costly to be a disci -
pie (Luke xiv, 26, 27„33) there are few
disciples. It seems so much easier to
be in some measure conformed to this
present evil age than to.be wholly sep-
arated from it. Yet the Lord is ever
looking for any,, willing ones that He
may show .)]upsell strong in their be-
half (II Ohron. xvi, 9). The Holy
Spirit, the same who came upon Sam-
son from time to time and who dwells
in every true believer, has a greater
desire to 1311 us than any of us can
desire to be filled, for it is' written,
"The Spirit whom He made to dwell
in us yearneth for us even unto jealous
envy (Jas. iv, 5, R. V., margin), but
the previous verse shows us that the
great hindrance is the friendship of
this world.
1t Is the valley of Sorek or the lap
of. Delilah or some such phase of
worldliness that hinders us from be-
ing what ELe would like us to be. Sam-
son was not in appearance a strong”
man, for had he been such the Phills-
tines would not have wondered at his
strength nor, inquired' the secret of it
(chapter xvi, 5). As his birth was a
special gift from God to WS parents,
as in the case of Isaac and John the '
Baptist, so was his great physical
strength. Ws must first be born of
God, born from above, and then if we

photograph affords some idea of a
part of the damage resulting from a
single ]shell thrown into Antwerp dur-
ing the siege. Correspondents say
that in order to understand the ap-
pearance of a multitude of Belgian,
French. and Polish cities, it 1s only
necessary to multiply such a scene
as the present one by thousands and
