The pcculiarities of the carnation are
such that under cultivation it has been
made to take almost any character as
to color or form of flower desired by
the careful cultiyator. 1t has been
Very popular with one generation of
MN and equally unpopular with the

creased in size. and the varieties be-
came numbered by the hundreds. At
one tine frlnged petals Were in great
demand and were secured; at another
the smooth edged petals only found ac-
ceptance.
Two hundred years ago the garden
ers thought the flowers imperfect if
the caiyX did not burst, and refractory
flowers Were knitted into fashions line.
But during tae last $50 years the burst
calyx has beea deemed defect, yet all
efforts to prevent it in large flowers
have not been wholly successful.

The .Huntu,aan.s Gun.

The "huntsman's cup" or pitcher
plant, is conceded 10 be one of the ear
lest, if not the earliest, of the wild
flowers of America to become known
to Europeans References occur in re-
lation to it as early at 1870, when a
Lisbon physician named Launanus
sent it to contemporary us the leaves
of the frankincense tree. 1t appears
that two sailors brought the curious
leaves with some resin from the pine
trees growing near. and Launanus sup
posed they belonged together. Much
confusion occurred and much wonder
ment was expressed as to what curious
tree with such leaves could be found
in America giving such 'sweete odoure
when the gum was burned" and,
strange to say, most attempts to clear
up the mystery resulted in greater OBJ
security.

Musk.


Musk in the raw looks Il good deal
like axle grease and smells worse. The
popular notion that the musk of com
merce is obtained from the muskrat is
n mistake. There is obtained some
what similar perfume from the musk
rat, but most of the supply comes from
the musk deer, Il creature that is care
fully reared III India for the sake of
the secretion. The secretion is shipped
in the crude state and Is used not only
In the manufacture of the liquid per-
fume sold as musk, but also in very
small quantities to give strength and
staying power to many perfumes made
from the essential oils of flowers.
Curiously enough, the blossoms Of
two native plants have noticeably
musky odor. One is the small yellow
blossom of a creeping vine known as
the musk plant. Its odOr is marked
and is counterfeited In the commercial
perfume called musk. The other is
the bloodroot. The pure white bios
som of that early spring plant has u
distinct though delicate musky odor. A
bean known as the musk bean Is a
cheap substitute for animal musk.

An Arcb,tec,ur.l cur,o.,ty.

There are many churches through
out England which are without tower
or spire, but there are few churches
which can boast of having n tower and
spire side by side. One of these is the
parish church of Ormskirk in Lanca-
shire. The tower is built over the
porch at the west end, and the spire is
placed as closely as possible to it. The
origin of this architectural freak has
not been ascertained, but there is ira
dition to the effect that when Orme,
the Saxon pirate from whom the town
derives Its name, decided to construct
Il kirk, or church, as an expiatory Of
ferinY for his evil deeds his two daugh-
tiers quarreled over the design for the
structure. One determined to have a
tower, the other was equally resolved
to have IL steeple.
AS neither of them would give way
the pirate chief acceded to both their
wishes. and the curious may see the
tower and spire still keeping watch
side by side on the surrounding coun-
try
