NATURES USE FOR FLOWERS.
All Of Them Serve Properly Appointed
Purpose.

~ SSiNS FI0PCify HPpoiutSu
Purpose.
DR.. Andrew Wilson writes: "If we
assumed that flowers were merely
evolved to crafty human senses we
should be entertaining a woefully lin
tied view of nature. The botantist
win tell you that everything about
a flower Is meant to favor one end.
That end is the production OF seeds
and the propagation of the species.
The colors Of nowers-nay, even the
little splaehes Of a hue or tint seen
on a petal-are intended to attract
insects that they may carry off the
fertilizing dust, or pollen, to other
flowers of the same, or near, species
and thus insure a sturdier race as
the result Of cross-fertilization. 1t Is
to this end also that your flowers are
many of them sweet scented. The
perfume Is another kind CT invitation
to the insect world. The honey they
Eecrete forms q third attraction-the
most practical Of all, perhaps. Then
the arrangement of the flowers on the
stalk, the times Of opening and shut
ting of the flowers and the position
of the stamens and pistils, are all SO
many features whereby nature is CIV
ing each plant a help on the way"

AN ODD INDIAN BELIEF.
Tradition Connected With the Division
Into Castles,

Tradition Connected With the Division
Into Castles.
According to the tradition of one OF
the tribes of India, the sun created
a man and a woman at the beginning
of time and this couple had twelve
children. When they had all come to
an & to shift for themselves the
sun divided them into pairs and placed
food OF all kinds before them. On
their choice depended the fate of their
descendants. Those who took vege-
tables only became the ancestors of
the highest caste of all, tho Brah-
mans, while the Santals, the lowest
OF all castles, spring from those who
chose pigs. The Kols declare that they
are descended from those who took
bullocks' flesh and to the sustaining
power of the food of their choice the
Larka, or fighting Kols, attribute
strength and fine physique.
When these latter ut the beginning
OF the last century first met English
troops they were quickly impressed
with the fighting powers Of the stran-
gers, and, finding that they. too, ate
bullocks' flesh, the Kols paid them the
great compliment of assigning them
the same pair Of ancestors as the
kols. But by the time eleven pairs
had chosen their share of the food
provided there was nothing left for
the unfortunate twelfth couple, and
they had to beg food from the others
who had Jared better. From this un-
lucky pair spring the Chassis, who do
not work, but support themselves on
the charity and leavings of others.

An Affront to Italy.

Apropos of visits to Rome, the Kaiser
seems to have given a good deal of Of
tense by taking along with him in Italy
a mounted escort of German cuirassiers
in order to accompany his carriage when
ne drove to call upon the Pope at the
Vatican. The Italians not unnaturally
insist that it was an affront to their
King and to their government for the
Kaiser to bring Prussian troopers with
MIN to escort him in the streets of
Rome, just as If italian cavalry was not
good enough for the purpose. This has
been pretty generally discussed in the
Italian press.
Another matter which also aroused
much unfavorabIe comment. but which
SO far, has not got into print. was the
Emperor's action in selecting as mem
bers of his suite on the occasion of his
visit to Rome, the very tallest officers
Of his army, perfect giants, whose pres

1t has not escaped attention that
throughout his recent European tour he
never once showed himself on horseback
at any of the reviews of troops held in
his honor at Gibraltar, Malta, Rome, and
Parls AT Malta.he had small rostrum
with balustrade erected for him, on
which he stood alone in the center CT
the parade ground to review the troops
and the naval brigade.
At Rome King Victor Emmanuel and
all the Italian princes were mounted.
but King Edward remained in the car
r1age with Queen Helene. At Paris, too,
ne drove in carriage instead of riding
on horseback at the Vincennes review,
and 1t is doubtful whether he will ever
be we'll enough to be seen on horseback
once more, fact which does not, how
ever, prevent him from fulfilling his
multifarious duties with even more than
his Wonted energy
