1t is suggested in the October, 1902,
bulletin of the Trinidad botanical
department. that pitcher plants,
which possess the property Of cap
turing and killing insects that ven
ture into their flowers, could be
profitably employed in preventing
the ravages of cocl1roaches among
orchids. BY interspersing the pitcher
plants among the orchids it is be-
heved that the orchids would be, to
a great degree, protected, because
the pitcher plants have an attraction
for such injurious insects as cock

more impression, but you always go
on and on, and say so much that it
puts us both out of temper, and you
lose all the advantage you have
gained"
The young woman was not only frank
but a philosopher. 1t is to be hoped
that when she becomes a mother her
philosophy will not desert her, and that
she will stop lecturing her children the
moment she has scored her point.
Should she do so, the chances are in
favor of her bringing up family of
well-mannered offspring.
The trouble with a great many people
is that they do not know when to stop
talking; they talk entirely too much.
Instead of going directly to the point
to be made they slosh around in a sea
OF words of little or no bearing on the
subject, and then, having reached the
point, they spoil the effect of it by more
sloshing of the same sort. A truth
stated directly and simply, in the few
est words consistent with clearness,
carries more weight than one diluted
with discursiveness to the extent that
the idea is practically obliterated.
Overmuch talking is a common evil.
1t is to be found in the home, in So
ciety, in the Court House, in legisla-
tive halls and in the church. If peo-
pie would talk less about themselves,
their neighbors and their associates
| there would be fewer hard feelings. If
| legislators would stop talking when
they had made their point there would
be fewer half-baked laws. If preach
ers would stop talking at the right
time, when they had said enough to
explain the text and its application,
and would refrain from vain repeti-
tons like the heather in his prayers.
and from citations and dilutions, like
the milkman at the pump, congrega-
tons would be larger and the people
would be fuller of the word of God
Less talking and more thinking is what
| is needed.
