Ancient Roses.
Flinders Petrie, the archaeologist,
whaSs excavattng among some ancient
Egyptian tombs, found q wreath Of
roses which had been bound into q
garland and buried with the dead thou
sands Of years ago. M. Crepin, the bot
anist and microscopic, made a care
full examination Of this queer find and
prepared a paper ON 1t which he. read
before the Royal society Of Belgium.
From this paper 1t appears that in
places where the flowers were matted
together they still retained their color
as well as a very faint odor. The
species to which they belong is now ex-
tinct, but a rose resembling them in
several particulars IL still grown in
Egypt and Abyssinia.

wishful to get even with her. His
Idea took the form of brilliant conun-
drum, whose answer Dudekins
thought was locked in his manly chest.
Il have a conundrum for you, Miss

her.
"Ah!" she responded, What is It.?
Who gave it to you?"

bridling somewhat.
Indeed! What is it?"
"Why are my clothes like the
moon?"
She hestated moment, and Dude
kins began to look triumphant.
"You may think" she said, slowly
and Dudekins somehow felt the sand
slipping from under hint Is be-
cause they have man in them, and
you have perfect right to think as
you please. But, Mr. Dudekins, opin-
ions differ"

safe door on line with the tumblers.

Louvre, notably of life size bust in
chalk, primitively colored, of the her.

Akhoumalon, or Amenophis w., one Of
the strangest figures in the long line

sides this, there are four sepulchral
urns in blue porcelain from the tomb

organic matter, which is being chem.

WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that II 1t had not
been for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those OF the elm, the hop
and the nettle Lord Avebury COM
pares the work Of the insect to that of
the florist. He considers that Just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, so
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertlliza-
tlon, have produced the gay flowers Of
the field. Prof. Plateau. of Client, has
carried out series of remarkable ex-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and In the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
in flowers to insects-as yet, 1t ap-
pears undefined-it Is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright.colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills cured Mrs.
Morrison because they actually make
good, red blood. When the blood is red
and healthy there can be no debility.
The relation between the blood aud
nervous system is such that the pills
have very decided action upon the
nerves aud they have cured many severe
ne,wons disorders, such as partial pa-
ralysis, locomotor ataxia and st. Vtus'
dance, that have not yielded to ordinary
treatment. Their double action, on the
blood and on the nerves, makes them an
ideal tonic.
