"GREEN SICKNESS"

The unhealthy complexion
of green sickness is changed
TO the rosy blush of good
health by SCOTS Emulsion.
Green sickness is one Of
the forms of blood disease
found in young women. The
change from girlhood to wo-
manhood often upsets the
nervous system, weakens d.
gestion and throws the blood
making organs out of gear.
SCOTS Emulsion puts new
heart into pale girls. 1t tones
up the nervous and digestive
system, and feeds the blood.
1t is a natural tonic.
Remember that COPPER cent,
of these cases go on into con-
sumption unless prevented,

VT HEN an accident befen the
NN most sacred ikon in Russia,
" " called The Inversky Mother
Goddess" it created much
CONSERVATION throughout that supersti-
tious empire. Belief in omens, common
at one time 10 nearly all mankind, is
especially pronounced in the land pf the
Car. and when the vehicle used to carry
the ikon in a sacred procession was
overturned in the mud the miShap was
regarded as one of extraordinary sig
nificance, especially in time of war. The
incident therefore created a sincere i'm
psession in Russia.
Some great warriors have been gifted
with ready wit which has enabled them
to pass off what might reasonably be
supposed TO be an unlucky portent as
an suspicious sign. For example, Leoty-
chides II of Sparta was told by his
ausurs that his projected expedition
would fail because viper had got
entangled in the handle of the city key

Took Possession of Ground

how William the Conqueror fell to the
ground on landing at Pevensey, and
how this was turned to a lucky omen

crying out that he took ''seisin' OF the
kingdom with both hands. Freemantle
thinks that it is probably am adaptation
of the story Of Caesars landing in Afri-
Ca when. having stumbled. he, with adj
mirable presence of mind, exclaimed:
''Thus L take possession of thee, o
Africa" When William was arming for
:t>e battle of Hastings, his squire. by ac-
cident handed him the back piece before
the breast plate, an evil omen signifying
flight, btft the duke again turned the
mishap to cheerful account. Yes, the
last shall be first" he said; that is, the
duke shall be king.
Others, however, there have been who
have met the evil omen halfway, so to
speak. by throwing up the sponge as
soon as it occurred. On the morn OF the
sanguinary battle OF Shrewsbury, Hot

cross fertilization of a flower with the
pollen from old varieties is as old as the
history of botany, and much older, for
1t was done accidentally by nature and
by the busy little honey bee before

Not readily did Queen Eschscholtzia
OF California flower land give up her
bright orange dress under the coaxing
and tuteiage Of Burbank, wondrous as
is his coaxing with flowers. Taken
from the meadow where she knew her
kind only in the blended tints of the
buttereup, marigold and sunfower, she
was slow to accept the pink tint that
began to encroach on the siIken tex
ture of her apparel, and to deepen into
damask in some of her number and
scarlet in others. 1t took eight years
residence in the garden of the flower
wizard completely to change her color
to red. The task has Just been accom-
plished, and Burbank now rejoiccs in a
bed of several hundred Eschscholtzias
about one-third of which have the full
coat Of scarlet. The others range in
shade from pink to scarlet, and they,
like thousands Of their progenitors, will
be cast aside as unworthy TO go forth
into the world with their scarlet robec
sisters.
Pollenizing Method Not Used.
It seems remarkable that Burbank
should have accomplished the color
transformation of the poppy merely by
artificial selection in only eight years
To have done so by naturalization or
crossing the golden poppy with some
red member from which the Eschscholt-
zia could have been successfully pol
lenized would not seem quite so re-
markable to those who know how flow
ers can be crossed. But the pollenizing
method was not used at all in changing
