The costliest of all flowers produced.
Of late years is the Rothesay rose, a
strange looking, iesh-colored bloom.
It is Of an extraordinary cOlOr-velvety
and just like the cheek Of a healthy
baby in tint. Every petal is wrinkled
like the "goffering'' Of a girls dress,
and the entire bloom is very closely set
and weighs as much as six ordinary
roses Of the same kind. A single flower
is worth $3.50. The prize Of 1000 Of
fered in Holland for a black tulip has
never been claimed, but FIVE jet-blaek
hyacinths have been known to grow in
the last twenty years. The cheapest
fetched 500 and the deaerst $45O-al-
most a record price for a bulb. Only
one Of the five reached a second gen.

An interesting relic Of the lake
dwellers Of Ireland has just been added
to the Science and Art Museum of
Dublin in the form Of a crannOg, or ele-
waited dwelling. 1t was discovered IN a
bog-flled lake near Enniskillen and
measures over 100 feet in diameter. On
removing the peat the piles of platform
timbers were laid bare. The piling and
cross-timbering was admirably done,
untrimmed birch trees beng chiefly
used for c~rosslaying, while oak was
used for the stouter piles. A large
quantity Of broken pottery was found
in It, besides an iron axe Of early form,
a fragment of a comb and some bronze
harp pegs.

The Cossacks are the arms and legs
Of Russia, while the moujik is the
backbone. The COssacks won Siberia
for Russia when they were the daring
fringe of her population, grown adven-
turous and warlike by their frequent
conflicts with the Tartars who crowd
ed Russia's borders. In them cOncen-
trated the enterprise and aggressive
ness which the moujik lacks. They cut
the path and the moujiks followed, and
the descendants of these hardy pio-
neers live throughout Siberia to-day,
forming a hereditary military caste. So
strict are the laws Of heredity among
the COssacks that it is almost mpOs-
sible for IN officer who was not born
one to obtain a commission in a Cos
sack regiment.

In a speech delivered in Victoria, b.
g., Lord Dunerin once described
Canada's most western province as a
sea Of mountains. 1t has been consid-
cred a happy expression and no doubt
It was, though the true sea Of noun
tains Is, after all, the Laurentian
range. The peaks Of British Columbia
are too sharp, too soaring and too
rocky to convey a very accurate Inn
preston OF waves, but the L~aurentians
are so rounded, so regularly inter
vailed, and of a tint, under summer
skies, which is sucll a wonderful imi-
tation of old oceans blue, that the
traveller on looking down upon them
for the first time will almost certainly
notice their resemblance to swelling
pillows. The greatest obstacle to en-
joying the illusiAn, or rather such op-
%portunity to grasp an adequate on
ception of the Laurentians as they
really are, is the difficulty of finding a
point of vantage. Earth's Oldest range,
for such We are told by biologists is
probably the truth, possesses few con-
splcuously lofty peaks, b hills be

that points Of observation from which
a study of the range may be made are
few and far between. Montreal is.
however, fortunate in having one OF
these natural observatories at no great
distance. Trembling Mountain, whose
base is two and a half miles from the
station of the same name on the La
belle branch, is the most elevated
summit Of the Laurentians In this part
Of the range. Quite recently its height
has been determined at 2,400 feet. AS

So little is their social status affected

means a present. When hunting for a
wedding gift, remember that a cake
saw-that is a thin fiat knife. with
one edge cut into saw teeth-is the
best knife to use to cut a loaf or cake.
For a brides loaf q silver one is often
used, and is an appreciated wedding
present, and one to be handed down

usual a gift that it is not likely to be
duplicated many times, even to the
