German
Syrup"

Here is an incident from the South
mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. q am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late AT the beginning of last
Winter was on trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss. where got well
drenched in a shower of rain. l
went home and was soon after seized
with dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. l consulted DR. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and l caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. 1
got two bottleso German Syrup.
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me SO long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. l felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since. "

SARRACENIAS


There are no plants indigenous to
the United States moro beautiful and
interesting than the1 Sarracenias or
pitcher plants" They grow profuse-
ly in certain localities, In low bogs and
cedar swamps, the green pitchers
spreading over the ground and the
curious flowers rising from them on
high, stately stems They are quite
easily cultivated by planting in a crock
filed with moss, which must be kept
we'll saturated with water.
Sarracenia CanadensIs, the sIdesad-
die flower or huntsman's cap, is the
common species at the North, of which
there are two varieties; S. purpurea
with large, purple flowers and S.
heterophylla with blossoms of a pecul-
lar greenish yellow.
In the Southern States there are also
several varieties; s. prittacina, having
deep, purple flower with leaves some
what resembling a parrot in form,
from which 1t takes its specific name.
S. Drummondii is the largest of the
family, the pitchers being sometimes
two feet high, with handsome reddish
purple flowers. Another Southern
species has leaves some twelve inches
long, beautifully vined and spotted
with purple and white, while the
flowers are bright yelloy. and very

NEW BICYCLE WHICH THE PUBLIC LIKES.
While thousands, within the last decade

previous to this all manufacturers had charged

No Safer Investment Can BE Found

The Atlantic Pacific Railway Tunnel
is now the longest and deepest under
ground work in Colorado, its heading
being more than 2, 300 feet below the
surface. 1t is to be completed in three
years, and the Denver, Apex and West
ern Railway, in its new direct route
frCm Denver to Salt Lake, will use it
ON right-of-way lease for twenty years,
paying Sl.00 head for passengers and
30 cents n ton on all freight transported
through the tunnel This will give the
owners of the tunnel from 81 900 to
% 900 per day for its use for railway
purposes alone, aside from the millions
they will yet obtain from the sale of
gold, silver, copper and lead taken from
the veins the tunnel will cross-nineteen
having already been crossed. 1t is the
greatest enterprise of its kind in the
world, and all who invest in the bonds
and shares of the company will be great

one of the handsomest, the leaf itself
being peculiarly beautiful, as will be
seen by our illustration.
The pitchers of the Sarracenias are
generally found partially filed with a
watery liquid as to the source and use
Of which botanists do not agree. As
insects are caught i'll this ingenious
trap and are drowned and decomposed
in the water, the theory is adduced
that they serve a purpose IN the plants
nutrition, and there is fair share of
botanical authority in support of this
theory. At any rate, the form and
structure of these plants are admirably
adapted for this purpose, some of them
secreting honey substance about
the mouth which attracts insects, and
being lined with stiff hairs pointing
downward which prevent their escape
when once within the fatal passage.
