/ The orchid / FarnfIx. 4

4 There seems to be general miscon-
ception as to just what an orchid is.
Many call any plant which grows on q
tree or has some peculiar feature an
orchid. This mistake is frequently
made with the pitcher plants and the
tail flowers. !" The uniting In one or
gan, called the column, Of the stamens
and pistils serves to distinguish the
orchid e family from all related ones.
The orchid family embraces 5000 or
1900 species. Of which comparat lively
few are found In the warm temperate
and almost none Ia the cold temperate
zones. They are mostly distributed III
the tropical regions, in hot, humid
places. Orchids, however, do not inya-
riably prefer humid conditions. Nearly
all tropical orchids grow on trees, but
IN temperate regions they grow In

Though most animals possess a tail,
either in the full or the incipient stage
OF growth, few Of them use It to the
same extent as the kangaroo, the seor-
pion, the horse and the giraffe. What

THE POOR IN SPIRIT ARE RICE.

Text-"Blessed are the poor in splr-

Blessed is the man who takes a cold
bath to start the strenuous day. Blessed
Is the boy who has to bear the burden
in his youth. Blessed is the man whose
dreams are full Of unreal cyclones, fires
and wrecks. Blessed is the man whose
dream is filled with the funeral of his
wife and wakes to find her living.
Blessed is the man who dreams that his
business has been ruined and wakes to
find 1t intact and prosperous. Blessed
is the man who dreams of sorrows that
might be and wakes to find them not.
Never does the Savior say it Is bless
ed to be poor, although He did say that
the poor are sometimes blessed. He
does not say It is blessed for a person
to have little when he could Just as

CHAPTER x.


About O'Clock Jaquet went to see
after the boys. Her mistress had said
they had gone to the swing. JaQuet could
not see them anywhere and ran round
60 the front lawn. They were not there.
do you know where the childrsn are,
Moorer she inquired, meeting the man
in the hall.
mo, unless they're with my lady in
the drawing room; they were there when
l took Ia the tea and CAKE" answered
Moore.
''Oh. then they are sure to be there !;
trust them for stopping where there's
any cake going on" said JaQuet. And
she went back to her nursery and to the
baby, then just waking up out Of sleep.
1t was O'Clock when the carriage was
brought round and the guests went away.
Lady Grace ran up to the nursery. A
maid was carrying in the tray containing
the ehildren's tea and JAquet's.
Where are theyl" asked Lady Grace,
looking round.
'1They have not been up here" said
Jaquet. II thought they were with your
ladyship."
'sThey must be at the swing" said
Lady Grace.
But the children were not at the
swing; they were not in the front garden !;
they did not seem to DO anywhere.
Lady Grace began to feel somewhat
uneasy. She went outside the gate and
looked down the avenue which led to the
high road; still abe did not think they
would run of of their own accord even
Cyras had never done that.
Moore, JaQuet and one Of the house
maids went about, searching the house
and grounds thoroughly all In vain. In
the midst Of the cOmmotion Mr.. Baum
garten came home.
''The children are lost" said Lady
Grace.
Lost The children Oh, nonsense"
said Mr.. Bsumgarten.
1t appeared that the last seen of them
was when Moore took the cake and tea
to the drawing room. Lady Grace was
not very clear as to how soon afterward
they left 1t.
perhaps they have gone of to the
fair" said Mr.. Baumgarten to his wife.
81 suppose this comes of our having
promised your mother In their hearing
that they should not go to It,"
Then it's Cyras who Is in fault" said
she. Charles would not have the sense
to do such a thing. or the courage either"
OF course not. He Is too young for
that yet awhile"
The fair was held on Wilton Com
mon, on the other side Of the village, and
near to Little Whitton. There was also
way to 1t through fields and shady
lanes, and Lady Grace bsthOught herself
