Borgias appear ignoramuses on the
subject"
The Britisher shuddered. The other,
seeing that he was affected by some re-
membranee connected with poisons,
after an effort persuaded him to tell it.
'sYes, 1t is a story Of poison. story

Il was stationed tn one Of the into
rior Indian posts where there was a
reignlng prince who Kept bis position
by chicanery and where the priests
maintained their ascendency BY the
same means. We had a little ensign
named Adams with us, a pretty, black
eyed boy who was brimful of deyiltry.
One day the prince sent our colonel an
invitation for the officers TO come up to
his palace and have afternoon tea. We
all went, and after tea, during which
some of us drank more wine than tea,
Adams. especially, we were taken into
the private apartments where the wo-
men were kept and suffered to mingle
with them quite freely, considering we
were in India and the home of an In
dian magnate. When we got back to
our quarters Adams confided to me
that he had had an impromptu affair
with a young Indian girl; that he had
seized an opportunity when unobserved
to lead her into an apartment filed
with tropical plants and, concealed by
the enormous leaves of one of them,
had kissed her. Just as they were
leaving the apartment they heard
rustic behind them, and the girl had
turned CHASTITY pale. In another min
ute they had separated. This was all

would think, to worry about but Adj

I didn't like the proceeding myself.

"If you are discovered and the mat
ter is reported to the prince l think

For the solution Of this Jewish prob

Through the benevolent trust we hope
to get control of some Of tie millions
that are given annually to various
Jewish religious and charitable causes.
The amount is 100000 a year. We
hope also to interest the governors of

governors In London, Paris, BRUSSELS
Frankfort and Berlin. Neither Amer

fund amounts to S14,000,000 Israel
Zangwill claimed this fund for the
Zionist movement. but the claim was
not considered seriously We believe,
however, that we shall fare better
with our project to bring the Jews in
Russia to free America.

a good deal Of money and to engage

Rickert y Wells give their personal

The Carnation Is an Old Flower

Pliny refers to the carnation as hav-
ing been used in the days of Augustus
Caesar to give a spicy flavor to wine.
While greatly loved and admired by
the ancients, its improvement was not
much advanced until it found home
in England. The date of this event is
not quite clear, but is believed to be
about the year 1900. Chaucer wrote of
its cultivation in 1886, from which date
it has been considered florists flower.
1t was first called carnatiOn by Henry
Lyle in 1878 and designated as pink
in 1000. Edmund Spenser called 1t
