predlcament, for-as he was leader of
the EXPEDITION and thus held respons-
ible for the death of the kings rela-

to be burned alive of to marry the
widow of the deceased and be a father
to his family. M. Hamelin did not
hesitate long in his decision. He
chose the latter alternative. af
II the orchid-hunter had merely to
face the dangers of fever and wild ami
mails his business would be risky
enough; but to these is added the
fanaticism Of fierce tribes to whom
the orchid is often an object of ven
Grafton, to tamper with which means
certain death if caught. When one
realizes the terrible Journeys that
have to be made in quest of orchids,
and the dangers that must be faced.
one does not wonder at the great cost
OF these expeditions; and the worst of
it is the fruit of many months of labor
and the expenditure of thousands and
thousands of dollars, are often wasted
before the consignment reaches home.
AS an illustration of this risk I may
tell you that. out of large consign-
ment once sent from Colombia of over
10000 plants, only two survived the
journey; and $500 was all the return
for an expenditure which must have
run into thousands.

PERiLs OF The ORCHID HUNTER.
Men Who Take Their Lives in Their
Hands in Search of Flowers,

| W. SCdTCn OF fiOWeFS.
Tft-Bits.-Talk about risks OF an ex-
plorer's life, said an enthusiastic or.
chid-collector to the writer; why,
when compared with those which
many an orchid-hunter faces as mat
Ter of course every day for months to-
gether, they are no more to be seri-
ously considered than crossing Picca-
dilly. If the death roll of these in
trepid men coud be published it would
be simply appalling. 1t is said that
1000 different species of orchids have
been introduced to civilization since
the time of Linnaeus, and I do not
think 1t would be an exaggeration to
say that against each of these, on an
average, human life could be placed.
Orchids have an unfortunate trick of
growing, not only in the most inaccess-
ible, but in the most unhealthy and
dangerous places-if they hadn't
they would scarcely be as coveted and
costly as they are. They flourish in
the deadly swamps of Mexico, in the
heart of Brazilian forests, in the tor
iio, hdldi ldl ulSlTlClS Ol The East anu
West Indies, and so unusually where
fever and pestilence, fierce animals,
and fiercer tribes are their nearest
neighbors. Merely to approach their
haunts is to carry your life in your
hands, to spend weeks among them.
as the hunters must do, is to court
death or to injure the health beyond
recovery. v a.rNs Et.l7J
To illustrate the dangers these men
run l may tell you that, of eight hunt
ers who went to Mexico not long ago
in quest of new species, seven lost
their lives within year, and the sur
vivor came away with his health utter
ly ruined. Of the seven who never
came back, one fell into the hands of
g native tribe and was burned to
death. And everywhere the same
story is told-from Panama to Sferre
Leone. M. Hamelin, who was pretty
well ransacked Madagascar in search
of specimens, tells one story of his
adventures which would be amusing
II it were not for the tragedy lurking
behind it all. One of his companions,
near relative of the native king, was
pounced upon and killed by wild ami
! NAL. This incident was distressing

The LONDON CARRY.

Vance Thompson in Outing.-There
are in London 2,711 cab proprietors,
and of these 2.224 own fewer than five
vehicles. AS you see, it is a poor
mans industry.
The average price for hiring cab
is twelve and threepence a day. In
addition the cabman has to pay the
yard fees. He gets two horses a day
and is usually fourteen hours on the
box. His license costs him five shil
lings Il year. The tax of two pounds
and the fifteen shilling wheel duty are
paid by the owner. Taxing it day in
and day out, the cabby makes about
five shillings a day. In the season
he may take in more money, burt as
the hire is raised on him it comes 70
the same thing. He is not content
and there is no reason why he should
be-he does not grumble unduly.
Every day in London 10000 people
ride in cabs. OF course there is fric-
ton and there is deal of nosy quar-
relling over fares, but so far as my ex-
perience goes the cabby is usually
right in his estimate of the distance
he has travelled and the money that
is due him.
The cab horses are a good lot.
They are worked six hours a day on
an average. About three years in a
hanson, however, will do up the best
Of them. Then they drift to the four
wheelers.

I was told there that one acre of pas
ture will carry two cows through the
season. OF course, the cows are
small and pasture, owing to the abund-
ance of moisture, luxrrriant, but the
fact stated shows how careful Jersey
farmers are to avoid waste. When
we were there (about June I'D the
cows were going over the pasture for
tn second time, and the grass was up
to ones knees. In Jersey two crops
are taken from the fields every year.
In that island, as have said, moth
ing but Jerseys are kept-all pure
bred. Nothing else is allowed to
come in. The registrations there are
not based on breeding A COW must
come up to certain standard in milk
production in order to secure registra-
ton. Sometimes COW which fails to
qualify for registration herself will
produce a calf that does come up to
the requirements, and the calf is then
registered.

Islands which form the best part of
the kingdom-the Red Danish COW
is the principal breed. These ami.
mails are brownish red with black
points. They are larger than the

and are shorter in the legs than the
latter. They are good dairy cattle.

Lettuce Prevents Smallpox.
Very respectfully.
o J. Jennings.

Don't forget that lettuceis apreventiye
OF smallpox.
So far as il is possible for a human be-
ing to be protected from catching small.
pox, lettuce Ia a protection.
Any person who eats a small quantity
of lettuce twice day, morning and
evening, is as well protected against
smallpox as 1t is possible for any one TO
be.
One ought. of course, to be clean, ought
to live in ventilated rooms, and avoid
dirt of all sorts. Also avoid contact
with people who have smallpox Fool
ish exposure to the contagion OF small
pox is not to be thought OF.
Go calmly on about your business.
Provide q small quantity OF lettuce
morning and evening, and you can ieel
sure that you have protected yourself
and your family In the best possible way
against smallpox.
Lettuce ie one Of the Oldest vegetable
remedies known to the medical probes
sion. Long before II was used as food 1t
was used az medicine. Many times 1t
has been claimed that it has magical or
miraculous powers TO prevent contagious
disease. We believe this is carrying mat
ters altogether too far. But lettuce does
furnish to the system exactly what Il
needed to protect it against the poison
OF smallpox.
We defy any one to produce a case OF
smallpox that has been contracted by
any person who made daily use OF lettuce
as a food II there is any such case on
record, we woull be glad to hear Of it,
