one kind is fashioned like a rat trap, the
tiny spines pointing downward 30 That the

tho flower withers; another browns his
victims in a ~syrup-like water; while q third
poisons the unluoky prisoners lured into
the reoesses OF the blossoms.
Several plants growing on tree trunks
have porous bulbs which seem to be designed
for ant houses; at any rate the ants are
always found in them. By an admirable
reciprocity the ants pay their house rent
by protecting the plants from other insects.
Some Of the European nations have de-
Tended their occupation OF Oriental countries
on the same theory, namely, that they give
protection in exchange for a domicile, Blu
there is no evidence that the ant lives on
the plant, while oolonialism is always a
burden to the natives.
In the Botanical Garden, as elsewhere in
the island, are to be found all varieties Of
the palm-the royal palm, than which there

palm, with its myriad uses; the sugar palm,
the sago palm, the oil palm, the betelnut
palm which furnishes the Malaga substitute
for chewing tobacco; the nipa palm, 30

Nature has been prodigal In her gifts to
the people Of the tropics, and besides giving
plant life In confusing abundance, her
generosity Is shown In a number Of trees
each Of which can be put TO many uses.
Reference was made to the bamboo in one
Of the articles on Japan, but the Javanese
have not only the bamboo, but the palm
as we'll, and from this one tree they could
build their houses-thuugh the bamboo is
usually used for frames and floors because

e~mployed-and secure food, drink and light
and in addition, a fermented liquor and a
narcotic.

many colors. One variety, brought from
New Guinea, has blue flowers Of various
shades and Is as yet unknown in Europe
and America.
One water lily has enormous fat, circular
leaves with the edges turned up like q pie

diameter, and an imaginative writer has
pictured them as frying pans on which the
natives bake hot cakes.

Hints For Health

Never neglect your daily exercise.
A brisk walk for a couple of miles I'm
the fresh morning air is one Of the
first essentials. Plain, nourishing food
and abundance OF good, ripe fruit is
another. Fruit Is bert eaten IN the
morning. Bananas are easy OF diges-
ton TO some and very nutritious:
grapes are uOurishing and fattening.
apples are especially good for brain
workers, and oranges are Of great
benefit TO people afflicted with rheu-
matism Personal cleanliness is the
next essential IN keeping young. A
daily bath and a good rub will clear
the complexion faster than medicine.
Have plenty OF fresh air IN your living
and sleeping rooms. Leave your bed
room window open from the cop sew
eral inches every night, no matter how
cold the weather: have your bed COW
ering warm and light. says "Woman's
Life" On getting up IN the morning
arrange your bedding and bed so Thar
they may be thoroughly aired: leave
the window open in your bedroom
the greater part OF the day.
