it will prolong our life and make us much

Why, I've actually heard people say they
would not buy of Knell simply because he

Why? Simply because they know that

When millionaire makes up his mind
to have thing done the execution of
his idea or fancy will rarely prove impos-
sible says the London Times. This the
Baroness Rothschild has only lately
proved. There was a magnificent arau-
caria in the valley of tho Aube at Cannes,
which the lady desired to plant in the
grounds Of her villa on the road to Collie
Juan, there to occupy the place of honor.
Negotiations were begun, and every
thing went smoothly, but the permission
had to be obtained from the local au-
thorities of the district to allow the
giant tree to pass along their roads and
over their bridges, for when the tree was
extricated it proved that its weight was
nearly twenty tons, which had TO be con-
veyed on truck weighing six tons. On
promising, however, to pay all damage
done during transit to either road, bridge
or railway, the permission was given,
and, like Andersen's Christmas tree, the
araucaria twas slowly dragged away. .
But in the present case the work was
done by thirty horses, and the araucaria.
happier than the FIR tree, is flourishing in
its new home on the shoreso the Medi-
terrnnean.
