The Island OF Malta.

On the island of Malta house rent is
ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside
of Valetta an excellent seven roomed
house can be had for S15 to $50 year,
while rates and taxes are unknown
The houses are built entirely of the
cream eolored stone of which the is
land is composed and which is so soft
that il can be cut with a saw into
blocks or slabs of any desired size or
shape. SO while the Maltese builder is
digging up his foundation he is at the
same time getting out the material for
his walls, his flooring and his roof.

lodge in the throat. The results may

The Old schooIhouse.
BY MAS. y. 4. rREnLE.

In green. shady nook by the roadside,
Meath the brow OF a shelteriug hill,
| a primitive, old-fashioned schoolhouse
is standing SO peaceful. so still.
| For years IT has stood in the shadow
| or forest Of evergreen trees;
Where the birds build nests in the branches.
And mingle Eheir songs with the breeze.
My thoughts Off revert to that schoolhouse,
And the schoolmates of long, long ago,
When We played on the hillside in summer,
And In winter built forts in the snow.
No matter how dreary the weather,
We were happ7. we knew not care,
While we mingled our voices together
In lessons, in song. aud fn prayer.
Several hours were devoted to study,
But as soon as our days work was done,
Both acher and scholars were ready
To engage In their season of fun.
We were eager to prove the old adage,
That "Ail work makes Jack a dull boy"
And thus, when our lessons were ended,
We welcomed each pastme with joy.
Oft In fancy enter that schoolroom,
And gaze on the benches so SCARED,
Where the miscellaneous boys with their knives
Our initials had Whitfield and carved.
can see the old desk where the teacher
Kept his bible and ruler secure,
nd the classes engaged in their spelling
Toe the line by a crack In the floor.
There are few of those schoolmates remaining,
Some roam other places and seas;
Some silently sleep 10 the churchyard,
In the shade of the evergreen trees.
new house is now In erection,
Its future no one foretell.
But our hearts fondly cling to the old one
fhe schoolhouse we all loved SO we'll.

BIGGEST FLOWER IN THE WORLD
Cup Of the Rafflesin VIII Hold IL
Pints of Water.

The rafflesia is a strange plant,
says American Gardening. 1t grows
in Sumatra and derives its names
from Sir Stamford Raffles, governor
of Sumatra at one time, and his
friend, Doctor Arnold, naturalist.
They were the first white men to dis
cover the wonderful plant. 1t is said
to be the largest and most magnifi-
cent flower in the world. 1t is COM
posed of five roundinsh petals, each
foot across and of brick-red color,
covered with numerous irregular yell
lowish white swellings. The petals
surround a cup nearly foot wide,
the margin of which bears the stam-
ems.
| The cup is filled with fleshy disk
| the upper surface of which is every
where covered with projections like
miniature cows horns. The cur
when free from its contents, would
