TIE WILD FLOWERS
THEY SHOULD BE SAVED FROM
 WANToN DESTRUCTION.
It Is Selfishness That Prompts the Plucking of Them-Should Be Left to Live Out Their
 Lives.

There are tens of thousands of peo- pie who love wild flowers well enough to pick them; there seem to be few in- deed who love them so well that they can leave them on their stalks. Yet those few are the real lovers of flowers; they do not demand the death of the objects of their love, but let the flowers live out their sunny lives. They seek to share their pleas ure, not only with their fellows of to- day. but with millions yet unborn, whose only flowers must be the direct descendants of those which have been left upon their stalks. The love which prompts some people to gather arm fuls of wild flowers is often of selfish nature: at best it is thought less love, having no regard for the future.
 Of course. the destruction of our wild flowers is due to many causes, and some of these the building of towns and the cultivation of farms. for example, are not to be controlled Others, like exces- siye numbering operations, may be con- trolled in time, but there are many causes which may be checked almost at once, and they must be if we would save from extermination some of our most highly-valued plants. And this is the very time to lay plans for checking them, for some of the early spring flow CTS are amongst those most badly in need of protection. The Mayfower, or Trail ing Arbutus, for example, lovable not only for its beauty and fragrance, but for its associations, has already disap- peared from many localities in which at one time it was common, and is rapid ly growing scarce in many other places. This decrease is due largely to the gath ering of enormous quantities for sale. The gathering of rare or uncommon wild flowers should be stopped by law. It has been stopped in some of the European countries, but some of them waited until it was almost too late. Until such a law can be framed and put in force. property owners could do much good by posting notices forbidding spassing-trespassin TOT the pur pose of gathering rare wild flowers. at least
 Another serious menace to the eX- istence of the wild flowers is the ex- cessive picking by school children.

A Nurservman's Experience.

Tarlton, Tenn, April lSth.-Alr. E. J. Morton, proprietor of the Tarlton Nurseries, has given for publication some ot his experiences, which, no doubt, will interest a great many people who are try ing to overcome similar difficulties. Among other things he says:
 ''I will answer all inquirers who enclose a stamp for reply and will be pleased to tell them just how 1 cured myself of a serious case of Kidney Urinary and Blad- der trouble which had tortured me for over three years. l had fearful burning sensation when urinating and was in very bad shape till 1 commenced to use a medl- cine called Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 In a very short time 1 found 1 was getting better and l kept on till 1 was completely cured. Every symptom of my old trouble Is gone and, besides being cured of this particular trouble. my general health is better than it has been for years. 1 feel like new man and am ready at all times to testify to the wonderful curing powers of Dodd's Kidney Plls.'

HOW TO GET TO SLEEP.
Yielding to the Rhythmic Influence of Sounds and Noises That Are
 Not Preventa ole.

When we are not necessarily over tired but perhaps only little tired from the days work, it is not uncom- mon to be kept awake by Tapping curtain or a swinging door, by un- usual noises il the streets, or by peo- pie talking, writes Annie Payson Call, in Lesie's Monthly
 If We are willing that the curtain should go on Tapping, the door to go on siamming, or the noise in the street continue steadily on. our brains yield to the conditions and so sleep natural ly, because the noise goes through us, so to speak, and does not run hard against our unwillingness to hear it.
 There are three facts which may help to remove this resistance.
 One is that in almost every sound there is certain rhythm. If we yield to the sound enough to become sensi- tive to its rhythm, that, in itself, is soothing, and what before was keeping us awake now helps us to go to sleep. The rhythm of sound and motion in sleeping cars and steamers is iu itself, soothing. Ii you keep your mind stead fly on it, you will probably be asleep in less than an hour. and. when the car stops, you will wake only enough to settle comfortably into the sense mo- tion when it starts again. It is pleasant to notice the gentIeness with which a good engineer starts his train at night. and gives us many a lesson on the use of gentle beginnings, with other things besides locomotive engines
 The second fact with regard to yield ing, instead of resisting, in order to get to sleep is that listening alone, apart from rhythm, tends to make one sleepy. and this leads us at once to the third fact, that getting to sleep is nothing but healthy form of concentration.

catarrh in any form or Ia grippe. A course of Peruna is sure to correct all these conditions. It is an ideal spring medicine. Peruna does not irritate-it invigorates. 1t does not temporarily stimulate-it strengthens. 1t equalizes the circulation of the blood, tranquilizes the nervous system and regulates the bodily functions. Peruna, unlike so many spring medicines is not simply a physic or stimulant or nervine. It is a natural tonic and invigorator
 Ifyoudo not receive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write a once to Dr. Hartman. giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

Not for worlds would I suggest that children should not be allowed 10 pick wild flowers; it is in the hope that children may forever have the de- light of picking them, that this article is written But they should be taught that each wild flowers is a liv- ing. precious thing, and that to de- stroy it thoughtlessly is a great mis- take. The teachers throughout the country could make themselves power for good in this matter, as they do in so many others, by teaching the children moderation in the pluck ing of flowers Instead of allowing them 10 go into the woods and bring back wilted sheaves of miscellaneous blos- sons in their hot hands. why not send them to definite places for limited num- bers of particular flowers which are known to grow there. giving them sim pie instructions for keeping the flowers fresh until they return? The flowers would then be in a good condition for study. and when they finally died. there would be a feeling that they had done some good How many millions of flow CTS, 1 wonder, are every year thrown away al the roadside before the children reach home or school, or are cast on the ash heap as rubbish with never word to suggest to the children that it would have been far better to have left them in the woods. The rarer the flower, of course. the more danger there is that it will disappear. The children may pluck thousands of the commoner flowers without doing much apparent harm but ore little band may unthink ingly exterminate the only colony of Ladies Slippers or Fringed Gentians there may be in a locality Above all. they should be instructed to be careful of the roots of the plants; the latter may survive the picking of the blossoms. but when the roots are torn up. there is an end. of course Perhaps the worst root destroyers are those who collect the roots for medicinal purposes. They gather such plants as Bloodroot and Sol omon's Seal, and many others. and they should be prevented from doing this be- cause these plants may be easily culti- vated on a commercial scale, as similar plants are grown for this purpose in Eu rope.
 In many places there have been or ganized societies for the protection of native plants, and these are doing for the wild flowers pretty much what the Audubon societies are doing for t'.e birds. All such societies are more or jess beneficial, as they at least call peoples attention to what it is desirable to do and most people want to do what is desirable if their attention is called to it and if it is not too much trouble
