A REMARKABLE PLANT.
! Variety Of Cactus that Blooms Only
in the NIGHT.

On Wednesday evening last, a varie-
ty of cactus owned by Mrs s. P Davis
burst into bloom with a flower that
measured nine and half inches
across.
1t is called the night blooming Cere-
us, but botanists hold that it is not
the true cereus but a branch of the
same family and known in England as
the Queen Cactus
The original slips were brought
from England by an aunt of Mrs.
Davis in Maine nearly fifty years
ago.
1t was there grown as a giant cac-
tus and was several years in the
family before it produced the remark
able flower which is one of the larges:
>and most beautiful in all the floral
kingdom.
The cactus plant grows six and sew
en- feet high with long round shoots
at the end of which is a iattened
growth.
The plant produces no flower until
it rs several years old. 1t is not in
any way ornamental and will straggle
about and fill window and grow
in all sorts of fantastic shapes.
Presently small buds appear in the
spring and but a few of these produce
flowers. The one in question blOOmed
two years ago for the first time. 1t
produced an immense flower each year
and this year produced two.
A long stem drops from the edge Of
one of the leaves about ten inches
long and turns up like a fish hook. 4
long pod shaped flower next appears
and when it is ready to bloom the pod
opens about sun down and continues
to expand until midnight when it is
in full flower. The immense petals
are pure white turning 10 creamy
tint until the heart of the flower is
pale yellow.
This immense flower has a beauty
beyond description. The odor fills the
house and after awhile becomes al
most sickening
At midnight it is at its best AMI
all the doors and windows of the
house have to he opened as the scent
is almost suffocating In the morning
It hangs limp and withered on th5
stem and all attempts to keep it an!
length of time nave been unavailing
1t is easily propogated from slips
and one of these slips is worth keep
ing several years for the magnificent
tower it produces.

THE DRUGGISTS
ARE UP IN ARMS
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT AGAINST
YERkE'S PATENT MEDICINE
oRDER-Do NOT FAVOR THE
GOVERNMENT TAX PLAN

Washington, d. c., Sept 29.--Sev-
aral vigorous protests have been re-
ceived at the Treasury department
against the new rul ng of the Commits
ioner of Internal Revenue, in which
he held that drug stores selling cert
ain patent medicines. Of which the
chief ingredient Is whisky or other
distilled liquor, are liable to the pay
ment OF the government tax as liquor
dealers. Many of the protests have
been made directly TO Pres dent Roose
welt, and 1t is evident that some of
the druggists and medicine manufac-
turers hope 10 induce the president
to set aside the opinion of Commits
sioner Ycrkes.
One feature of the decision IS es-
pecially disqu ting to some dealers In
drugs II is feared that the imposi-
lion of government tax will lead
the local authorities in many cities
and towns to require the payment of
retail liquor dealers license, and
this would be regarded by the drug
gists as an absurd requirement. All
Of them, of course, claim TO BE- sell ng
the medicines In question in good
faith, and they do not wish to be re-
garaed even technically, as liquor
dealers.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor, who has general supervision
of the administration Of the internal
revenue laws. said yesterday that he
| believed Commiss onsr Yerkes decis-
cn was entirely sound. He said 1t
would be allowed 10 stand unless set
aside by higher authority. for he re
garded as simple justice that any
| iealer who sells any compound whose
| chief ingredient Is distilled spirit
should be required to pay the govern
| ment tax required of liquor dealers
| Tt is believed at the treasury depart
ment that hundreds and perhaps
/ thousands Of druggists all over thu
country will discontinue the sale 9
