Surely, the Flower Growers must have forgotten their pledge of mem bership-"to promote the growth and success of flowers. Our Association has aroused much interest, both from North and South Alabama, and letters congratulatory have been received and membership asked, even from sister States. Still, at the late State Fair its floral booth gave no evidence that there existed amongst us a Flower Growers Association. A golden opportunity was certainly lost, but time, in it's rapid flight, will soon bring another, and let the Flower Growers endeavor to make an exhibit, particularly of October roses. an exhibit which will be an inspiration, not only to Montgomery and its sur rounding country, but by grasping the opportunity presented by the far-reach- ing influences of a great State Fair, shall give an impetus to floral culture, even from the Tennessee Valley to me Gulf of Mexico.

FLOWERS AND

The Floral Exhibit at the Late State Fair,

The Floral Exhibit at the Late State
 Falr.
 The State Fair of 1908 has come and gone. and is now thing of the past. its agricultural displays gave evidence sof .Alabama's fertile soil, but how about the floral exhibit?' A single glance at the booth was sufficient to tell that little interest had been taken-indeed. the exhibit had fallen at least 100 per cent below that of previous years. True. there was an exhibit by a profess sional that came up to very high standard, but there was but one; its ch rysanth emums were superb, and its decorative plants various and beauti- full. Amongst the latter was tlle new Phoenix palm. It's willowy branches and its delicate leaves must have been perfected for indoor decoration, and we predict for 1t great success. But think of 1t, Flower Growers, there was but one entrance by an amateur, though several prizes had been offereds That entrance was for the three best ferns. The group entered consisted of mag nifeent plumosa; the other two were Boston ferns; neither remarkable for size or beauty but the group received the blue ribbon. There was no com petition. A prize was offered for the finest Sprengeri (who does not remem- Der the splendid specimen that was sent last year from Wetumpka?) This Fall there was not one on exhibition We missed the beautiful October roses, and attributed their absence to the long Fall drought. but the day after awarding the blue rib bons, we walked up Perry Street, then through Lawrence to Hull and to our surprise saw very many October roses in all their bloom and beauty" We could. therefore. attribute the absence of roses at the late Fair to naught but lack of inter- est.

Paris Oct 31-It seems to have sud- denly dawned on the official mind that , public museum like the Louvre, or an historical chateau like that Of yer sailies. might be liable to burn doWh as we'll as an ordinary citizens resi- aence. hint to the effect was given to those who are in charge of these national treasure-houses of art by an Incipient fire at Versailles few weeks ago, and a stronger hint was given lm- nediately afterwards by the burning down of the telephone buildings
 The hre which broke out in the Cha teau of Versailles was, lucklly enough, immediately put out by the guards, who happened to have noticed fl fn time, but then the question arose. what would have happened If the hre had acquired some headway? People were shocked to learn that the oeauu- ful chateau, with it's immense treas ures of art. would be completely at thc mercy of the flames.
 The water in the reservoir was suHl- cient for the fountains and the amuse- ment of the Sunday crowds. but the pressure was not enough to carry IL higher than the first floor of the build ing. A scare was raised. and the au- thorities have now let it be known that protective measures are to be taken.
 The Under Secretary for Fine Arts has had a talk with all keepers of the public museums, and asked them to hand in a report as t) the requirements of their institutions to protect them against fire. Funds which were allow ed for repairs are to be used first oI all in making all necessary arrange nents to protect the buildings against fire The Louvre itself Is in serious danger, and orders have been given to take out all the furnaces used for cen tra1 heating from the basement, and they are to be placed away from the main buildings under the gardens. The telephone fire was bad enough for Paris, but the burning down of the Louvre would have been national dis nster.

Grief at the death of his mistress seems to have driven a big Saint Ber- nard dog to suicide. He appeared in the midst of the Place Saint Sulpice, where traffic was heaviest, and got in the way of nearly every vehicle, as 1t were on purpose, to the great annoyance of the drivers, who shouted at him and used strong language. The dog looked the picture of misery, and seemed to be longing for something to run over him.
 A notorious, which came along with tremendous rush, made straight for him. The driver. did not see him in time. and the dog did not move. he let the wheels go over him, and was crushed to death.
 A policeman picked up the collar and read the name and address of the dogs owner. She was a lady living in the Rue du Chateau. On calling there the policeman learned that the lady had died of apoplexy only an hour be- fore. The dog was so affected that ne left the house bowling, and apparent ly in a state of despair.

BIIIIards Waning in Interest.

Billiards Waning In Interest.
 It appears that the love for the mo- bie game of billiards is dying out in France. In 1894 there were 95, 900 bil- Hard tables here which paid their tax. In 1906 there were only S9,000. And when the official figures were compiled for last year they show only 79,000, or i6000 billiard tables fewer than there were thirteen years before. The ex- planatton given by the officials is curious one. Cards. they say, have to a great extent, replaced billiards in France. and the bicycle and the taxi- cab have done the billiard table even more harm. It Is a little difficult to zee the connection, but the officials are certain that the modern Frenchman prefers to take exercise out of doors instead of around the green cloth.
 A society has been founded by number of learned linguists of the Sor- bonne for the study and preservation of French and foreign dialects or pa- tois
 Tn the circular of the new society an Interesting scheme is set down for the study of the different French dialects, or rather Latin dialects, for the society means to push its studies further than the frontier The countries in which Roman dialects are spoken are to be divided into thirteen districts: North ern France, Southern France. Spain and America, where the Castilian dia- lects are spoken; Portugal and Portu- wese countries, Canada. Belgium, French and Italian speaking Switzer- land. the Engadine. Italy, and the Lat In-speaIxing countries of Dalmatia. AL bania and Roumania
 An editor will be placed in charge of zach district with powers to collect doc uments and folk lore. and eventually the society hopes to publish a monu- mental work upon the patois of the Latin-speaking world.

 The Land Owners Convention.
 Lord Clonbrock. in opening the pro- ceedings, said that the first subject to which he wished to allude was the great delay and uncertainty in the ad- nainistration of the Land Act, both from financial difnculties and from delays in procedure. The committee. in their report had refrained from expressing any definite opinion upon those mat ters, but 1t was plain that delays in procedure were most injurious, not only to the position of the landlords, but also to that of purch asing tenants; and, further. delays were injurious be- cause of the state of uncertainty and unrest created in the country. For that reason he had read with interest the report of the great meeting lately held in Cork, a which men of the most opposite political opinions were able to meet together in pursuance of an object which they rightly held to be conducive to the interests of the whole country. Tn ere was great work still before the committee and for the con- sideration of the convention. They had heard that legislation was to be introduced amending the Act of 1903, and he trusted that the convention would hold with the committee, that any departure from the principles of

MAN Is As Old
As His Stomach
This Persian Episram Is the Real
Gauge Of a Mans Life.

This Persian Epigram Is the Real
Gauge Of a Mans Life.
The Persians were very sagacious
people, noted among other things, for
their deep thinking on life and the
things which make up life.
The above epigram shows the wis
dom of their thought.
When a mans stomach is able to
furnish new material to the system as
fast or faster than the natural decay
of man requires, then such a man lives
his fullest and his best.
When through wrong living or dis
ease mans stomach begins to tax the
other organs and takes from the blood
strength which it cannot give back in
nourishment taken from food, then be-
gins the death of man and he decays
fast The stomach is strong, splen-
didly strong and can stand an untold
amount Of abuse and neglect, but when
it dies, man dies.
The stomach gives tons upon tons of
good rich blood every year to the sys-
tenn, and draws only $50 lbs of nour-
isment for its own use. II, however.
the food which it receives cannot be
turned into blood which is capable of
use by the body, then the stomach re-
ceives no help from the other organs.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
the most perfect digestive qualities
known to science and at the same time
the most powerful. They will mix
with the poisonous juices of sick
stomach and digest food in spite of
this handicap.
They will stop gas making and bad
breath. They tone up the nerves of
the whole digestive canal, including
those of the stomach.

strength enough to digest 5000 times
