Do Plants Have IntelrirenceY

Have plants intelligence? Do they
ever think? These are interesting ques-
tions that would have to be answered
by the statement of an observer of the
ways of pumpkins and melons: "Plants
often exhibit something very much
like intelligence. If bucket Of water,
during a dry season, be placed few
inches from a growing pumpkin or
melon vine, the latter will turn from
its course and in day or two will get
one of its leaves in the water" We do
not vouch for the truth of this, but it
might make an interesting experiment
for this summer.-Rural World.

Onion. need CHANGE Of Soil.

1t is commonly supposed that onions
are improved by being grown repeatedly
in the same ground, but an experiment
at the Ontario college last season dem
onstrated just the contrary to be true.
For IL or Is years the colleges onion
bed had been in the same spot, with
the result that the vegetables gradual
" diminished in size. Last year they
were grown on an adjoining piece OF
land, and although given no more care
the results were that the bulbs were
double the size of previous years.

FARMER HARRIsoN's IDEA.

times is. The horse usually has horse
sense He knows better than to walk
in rut. Now if the horses are spread
so that they must travel directly in
front of the wagon wheels, then, of
course, If the horse keeps out of the
ruts himself. the wheels will keep out
of them, and the result, if all horses
were so hitched, would be TO prevent
the making of ruts."

NATith better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ieal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasansef efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in.
the knowledge, that so many forms Of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply TO eonstipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is.
everywhere esteemed so highly by alb
who value good heath. Its beneficial.
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which il acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-'
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted With any actual disease, one

physicians. but if in need of laxative
one should have the best, and with tho
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of

FILTRATION.

A number of letters and conversa-
tions have been addressed to The Star
upon the subject of Il filtration plant
as an annex to the Water System.
Most of these have assumed that this
paper was unqualifiedly opposed to
the improvement suggested by the
physicians and sanitary authorities.
This is not the case at all. The Star
has made somewhat of study of
filtration and is satisfied that Homo
lulu is in sore need of just such an
adjunct to other measures for protec-
ton of the public health, for circum-
vention of those diseases originated,
communicated or carried by surface
water.
This papers stand was antagonism
to hasty and ill-considered adoption
of the first plant or scheme present
ed to the Board of Health, regardless
of expense or experience. The Star
is now advised that a number of the
Members have modified their views
in these premises and have lost the
inclination to force investment in an
experimental way. This is sensible
and will have the endorsement of the
element of the community that will
always insist on business-like meth
DDS. The new plan of the Board, al
placed before The Star, is for tn,
sand reservoir system. 1t is simple
effective and costs nothing like thu
plants catalogued and supporting
travelling agents and Legislative lob
bies. On this basis the views of TIL
Board of Health should be placed be
fore the Legislature and should Their
receive the Thoughtful and considerat
attention that SO important matte
demands. The plan now favored b
the Board is the identical metho
used by the City of Hamburg and up
on the success of which rests the as
surance that Cholera will never agail
visit that place.

has had many disinfectants brought to
their attention. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply indif-

market combined all the many good
qualities of 'Purifine.' In the first place
it was left TO the manufacturers of
"Purifine" to compound n disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a

fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant

In a word, "Purifine" is odorless, and

concentrated form, and when diluted

slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath

generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is non poisonous, an all
important feature. for If used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is abso utely safe
to have around the house.

In apoligizlng 10 the other
manufacturers for picking out

for the sole and solitary reason
that the publishers believe the
manufacturers to use only
the best material in its
construction. The paper
reviews the history of bicycles
to the extent of comparing the
American wheels with the Eng
ish make and the increased
demand that has existed within
the past fsw years for the
American make in preference
to its European cousin, and
finishes with this paragraph:
1--WE select as the represen-
tative of such a factory the
works of the Black Manufacture
ing Company, of Erie, Pa, a
company which produce the
highest grade of wheel and
which put it on the market
purely on the merits without
the adventurous advertisement
OF paid riders. The wheel made
by this company, the Tribune
Bicycle" embodies the best
possible practice and is cores
pondingly free from structural
variations of improved merit. "

source should satisfy anyone
Of the superior merits Of the
