The Chinese Lily.

Once upon a time there lived in Chi
IA two orphan brothers. The elder
brother, not satisfied with having in
herited the larger share of the parental
estate, seized the most valuable part of
the younger's, leaving him but few
acres of rocky, unfruitf1l soil.
The younger brother bore the greedi-
ness of the elder one until he was
finally overcome with poverty and
hunger. Then, in great despair, he
threw himself upon the ground, and
lay there sObbing and bewailing his
cruel fate.
Suddenly he heard sweet voice
calling his name. Opening his eyes
he saw a fairy bending over him, who
babe him arise, saying;
"rhy patience and forbearance have
been noticed, and now great shall be
thy reward. Thou shalt find riches
and fame beneath the soil where thy
head but moment ago rested. To
reach the treasure will be no easy task,
bat be patient and presevering. Rest
not until thou hast found that which
shall cause thee to be honored and low
ei for thousand generations"
Then the fairy vanished, and the
young man rubbed his eyes and looked
about him. His rocky ground was still
there, and he was jubilant with a new
born courage and hope. With resolute
will he applied himself to the task of
finding the buried treasure.
For many days he dug faithfully,
and finally he found a flower-bulb.
Believing in the fairy's promise he
planted the bulb and nourished it until
from it there grew flower more deli
cately sweet and fair than had ever
before been seen.
Hundreds of people came to see the
new flower. Other bulbs sprung from
its roots, and the young mans name
and his bulb-patch soon became IA
nous. Riches and honor came to him
because, strange as it may seem, the
flower would not grow in any other
part of China, and thousands came to
buy from him.
He named his treasure the "Shuey
Seen Fah," or "Flower of the Water
Fairy'-a name that it has ever since
borne, though in common parlance it
is known simply as the '-Chinese lily"

In the United States fish poisoning IS
most frequently due to decomposition
IN canned fish. The most prominent
symptoms are nausea. vomiting and
purging. Sometimes there is a scarla-
tinous rash. which may cover the
whole body. The writer has studied
two outbreaks OF this kind of fish poi
soning. In both instances canned salm-
on was the cause of the trouble. Al
though discussion OF the treatment Of
food poisoning is foreign TO this paper.
the writer must call attention TO the
danger in the administration OF OPT
ates in cases Of poisoning with canned
fish.
Vomiting and purging are efforts on
the part Of nature 20 remove the poi

Tarring the Sleeps Nose.

After the sheep are shorn their noses
should be rubbed with some tar t. repel

very little trouble 10 tar all the sleeps'
noses in "a flock if you only know how.
Put little salt over the tar, and in
their anxiety to get at the salt the
sheep will tar their own noses effeetu-
