Possessing Orchids

Rare specimens of orchids which are
sought for in distant lands and subjected
to all the risks of importation are not
cheap. Several years ago an English col
lector Baron Schroeder, paid over 81 GOO
for single specimenof Cypripedium stonei,
native of Borneo. Although possessing
several specimens of this species, the ardent
collector was anxious to keep the dealers
from obtaining possession of it, and thus
paid so eXtravagant a sum to hold it all his
own. There are many orchid enthusiasts
who have longed in vain for the possession
of a flower they consider beyond their reach,
a common and erroneous idea being that
these superb beauties of the tropical and
semitropical world are the luxury of the
very rich, that they only flourish in houses
built specially for them and in a tempera-
ture akin to that of a Turkish bath, and
that they require the constant supervision

InpopuIar Ruling.

The official organ of the NJ. W. A,
the WOodman, has been ruled out of
the mail a. second class matter by
the postoffice department. This an
nouncement will be received with
genuine regret by the $4,000 men,
bers of the order, in the country,
many OF whom will be very apt to re
gard the action of the department as
an injustice to the order and all will
unite in the hope that upon more
careful consideration of the matter
the order may be recalled and the or
gan of the Woodmen admitted as
heretofore as second class mat
ter. Under the revised laws, SER
vice OF assessment notices must
be made through publication in
the columns of the official
organ of the order. and hence one
may readily imagine the hardship
that the enforcement would work to
an order that is purely beneficiary in
its character of a ruling that would
compel the additional expenditure
exacted in mailing it as third class.
