 Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day ana pleased me particularly with the re- suit. I got more satisfaction from 1t than from anything l had eaten TOT months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and sprinkle or salt or sugar.

Wooden Flower of Guatemala.

One of the most remarkable botani-
cal curiosities in the world is the
wooden flower which is found in the
crater of the Vocan del Fuego, or
fire volcano, of Guatemala. 1t resem-
bles half-blown rose, with four dis
tinct petals, curving gracefully from
the point of junction with the stem.
The Guatemalan Indians regard the
plant with superstitious reverence,
and believe that It is indestructible.
They have tradition that when one
side of the Volcan del Aqua, or water
volcano, burst out in 1871 and let
loose a raging flood of angry waters,
shrub of this plant was the only thing
that escaped destruction The Indians
believe that the flower can cause or
prevent an eruption of the volcano.

School House Built of Petrified Logs.

New England, N. d., possesses what
is probably the most remarkable
school house in the country. The
structure is twenty-four feet square,
one story in height and built entire
ly of petrifed wood except the roof,
which Is shingled.
The wood of the ancient forests
which covered the prairies of Het-
finger county has become agatized
and in the absence of other building
material the people of this place de-
termined to erect their primitive edu-
cational institution Of this beautiful
petrification.
Great care has been exercised In
the construction Of the school house,
SO that the material shows off to the
best advantage, and when the sun
shines the building glistens like crys-

layed her departure to meet her hus-
band, and put the poker in the fire
to make it burn brighter. Just as
she withdrew it, red-hot, she heard
someone trying to open the front
door. Going down noiselessly she
saw mans hand through the letter
box aperture, with an ingeniously-
contrived piece Of wire, with which
the person was trying to pull back the
spring catch of the lock. In an in

the mans hand, rubbing it all over
The hand was withdrawn with an
agonizing cry of pain. The lady great

native of New Glasgow died in the
wilds of northern Quebec while en-
ployed as a member Of a national
transcontinental survey party. Grand
Lake Victoria is 200 miles from a rail
way 1t was here that Mr.. Mckay had
been at work as aXman fer the last six
months.
Becoming seriously i'll in the early
part of February, he desired to return
to Ottawa, and in company with his
20-year-old son, William Mckay, two
Indians and several other men, he set
out on the trip.
A hand sleigh was the sole means Of
conveyance. So weak was Mr. Nc
Kay's condition, however, that only y
miles of the way had been traversed
when he died on February 6. The par
ty then placed his remains on the

met with, and though these helped
somewhat in the rest Of the journey to-
