| Henry Wilson came down from Lake BIgler
and brought with him specimen of that rare
| flower known as the snow plant 1t has leaves
something like those of an artichoke spread
out, and thick like cactus. The entire plant

ries of hat appears to be frost work. From
that and the fact that it grows high lati-
tudes, in the Snow, it takes its name. - is
| said that at certain seasons shoot abont four
inches high rises from the center of the plant
and bunch of delicate leaves Of pare white

curse the day they ever migrated to So
forbidding cline. The snow birds, however,
seem to enjoy the fun and look upon the
storm as a special dispensation of providence
in their favor. The robins are full of disgust,
and when they attempt to sing their voices
have husky twang like those of indispesed
prima donnas On their off nights The weather
sharps predict that when the heated term {
sets in the sun will blister the paint on store
