down, that ring, which Aunt Pam pre-
tended not to see, flashing on her finger.
At last she fairly put it under Miss
Palmer's very eyes.

you borrow it OFF, Miss Pam asked.

You see it's on my engaged finger. Aunt

''Oh. indeed" said Jacintha. But

into the square Of looking glass beneath

said to herself, that's why she is so
cross. But even if she goes so far as to
send me home I'm engaged and its all

to tune of her own humming. 1t was
delightful to have outrun another girl
in the chase for lover. 1t was deliglse
full to think how handsome Norman Dris-
coll was. How agreeable in every way,
and most delightful of all, to think that
her betrothed husband was rich. Jacin-
tina felt that the luckiest thing she had
ever done in all her life was to pay that
visit to her mothers far away cousin.
And she tossed on her hat and started
for walk 20 the rocks, whence she
could see at least the chimneys of the
Driscoll mansion with its great grounds

day and which she used to regard with

feared that with all her wiles she could
not rob Edwina Palmer of Norman Dris.

Possessed the Art of COddIinp,

1t is not true that women do not
realize and appreciate the attractive
qualities that other women have for
men. Occasionally, however, they do
not. There is woman now of wide
reputation before whom men fall in
swaths. Her conquests have been
signal, conclusive. The secret of this
woman's charm other women have in
vain tried to discover A man who
has himself been PROSTATE before this
all-conquering lady was asked wherein
lay this lady's power. His brief an
swer. was, "Coddling" This he went
on to explain. "If man has a weak
ness, a secret grievance, her first step
is to discover it. He is led to talk
about it, and, alas, it is usually re-
lief to do so. This she humors as a
mother does a sick child. 1t may be
a heart affair, financial matter,
dyspepsia, or rheumatism. What it
is is immaerial. When you see their
two heads bowed together you per-
haps think that they are whispering
tender nothings. Not at all. He
may be only telling her about last
nights toothache, and the tears are
standing in her brown eyes as she list
ems to his tale of VICE. No man is
able to withstand this penetrating
sympathy. OF course, in time, he is
apt to learn that it Is kept on tap for
the beguilement Of all who come that
way" New York Sun.

The mysteries Of plant life are even
more Interesting and intricate than the
secrets Of insect life. The sex in plants
and flowers and trees is just as distinct
i've as in the human species, and 1t is no
uncommon thing to observe at the close
OF the day or at early dawn dashing
male plant or flower bending its form
over far enough to kiss the nectar from
the petal lips Of its nearest floral Juno.
Then some of the handsomest and
most delicately formed and tinted plants
and flowers are as ruthless and as saw
age in their instincts as the cannibals
Of the Fiji Islands. The entire order of
pitcher plants, notably among them the
beautiful wild duck" or Indian mecca
sir" plant, whose delicately pink shaded
purse-like sac is the admiration of all
wild flower seekers, owes its existence
TO the flies and small insects which are
attracted within its folds by the deli
cately favored moisture OF its cup and
smothered and starved to death by the
spasmodic closing of its outer door, hem
ming all intruders in as completely as a
cell of the old Bastile. and on these
strange feasts the beautiful plant lives

There are many mysterious things
about beetles Those of Brazil are
famed for their brilliant metallic
hues, yet no one has been able to find
out what makes these colors. Some
are of gold, Others of silver, yet
Others of blue enamel seemingly, and
so on through an endless variety of
tints. One variety is called the "dia-
mond beetle" because it is covered
with minute points which reflect the
light. Their use for jewelry is famil-

Want to Be IDENTIFIED.

The inhabitants of Rat Portage,
Ont, are very anxious to have the
name Of their town changed. Its
growing Importance, they think, de-
mands for it more dignified and
delicate name, and their pride and
cultured ears are hurt by the appella-
tion of Rat-Portagers, by which they
are known. Petitions for a change
have been sent to the authorities,
and the names suggested by the Pc
titioners include Van Horn, Sylvana,
Minnesota and Sultana. The latter
is much favored, but the Rat Porta-
gers evidently do not see the danger
of their staid citizens being known
as Sultanas.

FOR OUR little FOLKS.
A COLUMN ofsPARTIcULAR IN
TEREST TO THEM.
What Children Have Done, What They
Are Doing, and What They Should Do
to Pass Their Childhood Days.


The authors of BLESSED Be Drudg.
cry, and Other Papers" relate touch
ing little story Of how sympathy and
affection sprang up in an unexpected
place.
A workman in pottery factory
had one small invalid child at home.
He wrought at his trade with exem.
plary fidelity, being always in the
shop with the opening of the day.
Every night he carried to the bedside
OF his "wee lad, as he called him, a
flower, a bit of ribbon or a fragment
of crimson glass something that
would lie out on the white counter
pane and give color to the room.
He was a quiet, unsentimental
man, and said nothing to any one
about his affection for his boy. He
simply went on loving him, and soon
the whole shop was brought into the
half-conscious fellowship with him.
The Workmen made curious little
jars and cups, and painted diminu-
tive pictures upon their sides before
they stuck them in the corners Of the
Kiln at burning time. One brought
him some fruit and another few en-
cravings in rude scrapbook. Not
one of them whispered a word: this
solemn thing was not to be talked
about
They put the gifts in the old mans
hat, where he found them; he under
stood all about it.
( Little by little all the men, of
rather coarse fiber by nature, grew
gentle and kind, and some dropped
swearing as the weary look on their
patient fellow workers face told them
beyond mistake that the inevitable
shadow was drawing near. Every
day some one did piece of work for
him and put it on the sanded bank to
dry, 80 that he might come later and
go earlier.
So when the bell tolled and the lit
. tie coffin came out of the lonely door,
hundred stalwart workingmen from
the pottery, all in their clean clothes,
stood just round the corner. Most of
them had given a half-days time for
the privilege Of following to the grave
that small burden of a child, though
probably not one of them had ever
seen him,

attains height of from five to six

which swing from tree to tree like

recent growth, however, vegetation
is more luxuriant. The long tendrils
Of the clematis and rata connect
trunk with trunk in garlands of
