5000 Reward for . Lost Plant.
/ A British firm Of orchid importera

the impressive name Of Cypripedium
Farieanim. This is the famous "lost
orchid" For nearly forty years this
handsomest Of all the ladies slipper
variety of orchid has eluded the search
Of the professional collectors. Thous-
ands Of pounds have been spent in the
hunt for it. and days and weeks of
weary misery in fetid swamps and i'm
passable jungles have been endured
IN the search for it by those who spend
their lives in the quest of new or rare
varieties of the fashionable flower of
the day. The. history of the so-called
'.lost orchid" is q curious one. Forty
years ago three or four plants Of it ar.
rived for the Calcutta botanical gar
dens. Where 1t came from remains
a mystery to the present day, for it's
native habitat has never been discov-

was sold in some numbers till about
twenty years ago, when it vanished,

If a man cannot be really loyal to
truth without sympathy, neither can he
be truly kind and generous without
truthfulness. For. IL he weakly yields
to every one. right or wrong. and is
what Emerson calls "a mush of con-
cession." he is not really helping or
strengthening or elevating any one; he
ia only indulging his own ease by CIV

of tr7lthfulness is one Of the most im-

HEADACHE.
An Interesting Treatise on the Causes
and Cures. 4:

An Interesting Treatise on the Causes
and Cures. L:
Head pain is common in all disordered
conditions of the system. 1t may occur
in the progress of almost all acute and
chronic diseases, ut some time in their
course, or it may precele them. The
pain may he external ror internal, and is
due to II variety OF influences that effect
either the scalp or the contents of the
Uranium.
The determination of the particular
tissues involved is extremely din lit;
especially because the sufferer is unable
to locate definitely the pain.
Headache is rarely regarded as distinct
order, but is considered rather rs a
symptom accompaniment of some other
disturbance in the system. Sssd
Variations in the circulatons, with the
resultant notifications of the blood
pressure, the presence in the blood of poi
sonous matters, irritations transmitted
to the brain from more or less remote
parts of the body, or abnormal or dis
eased conditions of the digestive organs
all these enter into the production..of
this most common form of distress.
These causes, acting singly or collec-
lively, associated with an oversensitve
condition. of the nerves of the brain, and
the membranes which senvclop.it cause
the pain
BY far the most common form OF head
ache is that due to disordered condition
of the organs of digestion. Such head
aches are the results of Indigestion and
constipation, as well as overindulgence
in eating or drinking. \ disordered
stomach or a sluggish condition of the
bowels, combined with overwork and too
little exercise in the open air, are fire.
quent causes Of headache in persons who
pursue sedentary and indoor occupations
The remedy for this kind of headache
is the exercise of regularity and modera-
tion in eating, with an avoidance of food
which is innutritious and difficult of
digestion, and attention to the regularity
of the bowels. The last point is of spe-
cial Importance.
One variety of headache, the cause of
which is sometimes overlooked, results
from eye-strain. The provision of proper
glasses and treatment calculated to i'm
prove the tone of the muscles of the eyes,
have been followed by prompt relief in
numberless nstances.-Youth's Com
panion.
