Failure of many banking institutions

Annual Flowers

Annual plants are those that you
must SOW every year. From seed to
seed is only a year or less. Annual
plants probably comprise half the
Towering plants of the world They
quickly take advantage of the moving
seasons, grow, blossom and die before
they are caught by the blight of winter
or by the parching dry season. They
are shifty plants, now growing here,
then absconding to other places. This
very uncertainty and capriciousness
make them worth the while. The
staid perennials l want for the main
and permanent effects in my garden,
but l could no more do without an
nuals than 1 could do without the
spices and the condiments of the ta-
BILE. They are flowers of a season; I
like the flowers of a season.-Country

The French Foreign Legion and It's
Dangerous Characters.
The death penalty awarded a private
In the French foreign legion for throw
ing his cap in his captains face at
Oran is an illustration of the merciless
severity exercised in that famous corps.
Shooting at sight Is permitted the Of
ficers, who have to deal with dangerous
characters from all quarters of Europe.
Nowhere is there such a corps, ac-
cOrding to the London Chronicle. Its
ranks are recruited from outcasts of
all social ranks. Disgraced officers of
the Russian service, deserters from the
German army, broken scions Of the
Austrian nobility, fraudulent debtors

homicides from America, ruined gam

tarily enlisted corps in the French
army. 1t has done excellent service
against the Arabs and is always placed
in the forefront Of the fight.
