The Holland Primrose.

There is plant in Holland, known
as the evening primrose, which grows
to height of five or six feet and bears
a profusion of large yellow flowers so
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention. even at great distance, but
the chief popularity about the plant
is the fact that the flowers, which open
Just before sunset, burst into bloom so
suddenly that they give one the impress
sion of some magical agency. A man
who has seen this sudden blooming
says it is just as if some one had
touched the land with a wand and
thus covered it all at once with gold
en- sheet. ..~~ -. -----

Geese That Lay Golden Eggs.

Once upon a time there was pro-

Minister'S Maids.

"Are you a minister's wife?' was a
query encountered SO frequently by a
young matron in search of a maid that
she scented n story.
"Why this mania to live under the
droppings of the sanctuary?" inquired
the matron or words to that effect.
Then it appeared that the minister

witness fees in wedding cases. There
