When the violets saw the coin given
and felt themselves lifted from the
glass they breathed sigh of content,
and when the clerk, wrapping them In
tissue paper, placed them In pretty
box n fragrant breath Of excitement
escaped them.

How TO Ward Off Old Age.

The most successful way of warding
off the approach of old age is to main
tain a vigorous digestion. This can
be done by eating only food suited to
your age and occupation, and when
any disorder of the stomach appears
take a dose of Chamberlain stomach
and liver tablets to correct it. If you
have a weak stomach or are troubled
with indigestion, you will find these
tablets to be just what you need. For
sale by all druggists.

How q Fish Breathes.

The gills OF fish are situated at the
back part OF the sides Of the head and
consist Ut Il number Of vascular men,
branes, which are generally arranged
in double, fringelike rows, attached to
the parts by the base only. In some
cases these membranes are feather
shaped, in others mere folds attached
to the sides of the gill cavities. The
fish is cold blooded animal-that is to
say, Its temperature is seldom more
than degree or two higher than the
water in which it lives. This being
true, the creature needs but very
small amount Of oxygen to keep the
blood ut a temperature sufficiently high
to sustain life. This oxygen is sup
piled to the blood of the fish by respir-
ing large quantities Of water, or. rath-
er, drinking large quantities Of water,
and respiring the air separated from
it by the gills. This explains why a
fish cannot live in tank Of water
which has been slfted through the gills
time and time again any better than a
human being or other animal can in
air that has been deprived Of all its OK
ygen by being taken into lungs and ex-
PEELED without being aerated. Fish
that die in the stale water Of aqua
RUNS may be properly said to drown,
because they perish for want Of air,
the same thing which occasions death
by drowning in man and other lung
breathing animals.

Th e Cruel Plant. I

A Canadian climber, the Physianthus
albens, has received the name Of .''cruel
plant" from its Ill treatment Of butter
flies. 1t flowers In the month Of .Au-
gust, and the butterflies, attracted by
the perfume. hover around 1t in large
numbers and push their trunks into the
corollas to sip the honey. A pair Of
sensitive vegetable pinchers in the
heart Of the flower grips the delicate
proboscis, and in spite Of struggles to
get free the butterfly hangs suspended
until it dies. Apparently the plant has
nothing to gain by the death of the in
sect, as it is not carnivorous, lilke the
Venus fly trap. In fact, If the butter
dy We're allowed to come and go 1t
would tend to foster the species by as
sisting cross fertilization. It appears.
however, that the "cruel plant" came
originally from Brazil, where the but
terflies are much stronger and extri-
cate their suckers from the trap. We
may add thst another Canadian plant,
the Cnicus discolor, is charged with
cruelty. The. flower has gland which
secretes viscous liquid capable Of
lining insects which are fond Of it.
Moreover, they seem to be stupefled
and poisoned by it. 4 I no reason can
as yet be assigned - the deadly con-
sequence.
