MYSTIC WREATH EXPLAINED
Tribute to Queen Victoria at Her
Death Was Sent by Much
Admired Singer.

At the time of Queen Victoria's fu-
neral there was much comment in the
newspapers about a mysterious wreath
laid upon the coffin. 1t was one of the
finest there, but bore only the words.
20, Rest in the Lord" No name was
attached, and there was a great deal OF
speculation as to who had sent it. 1t
has now been revealed that the wreath
was placed there by Queen Alexandra
on behalf of Miss Ada Crossley, the ia
nous Australian contralto. She was
often commanded" to Windsor castle
by Queen Victoria, who greatly admired
her singing. Once she happened to
choose her majesty's favorite song, 90
Rest in the Lord!" The queen wept
bitterly and explained that she could
never hear that song without thinking
of her dead husband, the prince consort
who also had loved it dearly This was
the reason why Miss Crossley sent the
wreath.

Butterfly Farm in France.

The first butterfly farm" is said TO
have been established only year or two
ago by the English entomologist, Will
liam Watkins, at Eastbourne, but al
ready several similar farms have come
into existence in France. The object is
to rear rare genera of the Bomby cidae,
the silkworm family. They have, by
crossing, obtained some new varieties,
which are sought after by museums of
natural history. They are also endeav.
oring to acclimate in France species of
silkworms indigenous to other countries.
The farms contain oaks, ailanthus trees,
pines, plum trees, castor oil plants and
other plants, the leaves Of which serve as
food for the caterpillars. Cocoons are
Matched on branches protected by gauze,
and for the sake of uniform temperature,
the insects are often kept in room until
after the first moulting, when they are
placed on bushes in the open air, and pro-
tected from birds by coverings of muslin
or tulle.

CHANGE FOOD
Some Very Fine Results Follow.

The wrong kind of food will put the
body in such diseased condition that
no medicines will cure it. There is no
way but to change food. A man in Mo-.
says:
For years was troubled so with
my nerves that sometimes l was pros
trated and could hardly ever get in a
full month at my work.
my stomach, back and head would
throb so I could get no rest at night
except by fits and starts, and always
had distressing pains.
81 was quite certain the trouble came
from my stomach, but two physicians
could not help me and all the tonics
failed and so finally I turned to food.
when had studied up on food and
learned what might be expected from
leaving off meat and the regular food
had been living on, felt that a
change to Grape-Nuts would be Just
what was required, SO went to eat
ing it.
From the start I got stronger and
better until was well again, and from
that time haven't used bit of medi-
cine, for haven't needed any.
81 am so much better in every way,
sleep soundly nowadays and am free
from the bad dreams. Indeed. this
food has made such a great change
in me that my wife and daughter have
taken it up and we are never without
Grape Nuts on our table nowadays.
It is a wonderful sustainer, and we
frequently have nothing else at all
but saucer of Grape-Nuts and cream
for breakfast or supper" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Good food and good rest. These are
the tonics that succeed where all the
bottled tonics and drugs fail. Ten
days trial of Grape-Nuts will show
one the road to health, strength and
yigor. There's a reason"
Look in each pkg. for the famous lib
lie book, 'aThe Road to MELVILLE"

And drive the cows to water
