dew glistening in the sun-whence its name-but which, in reality, is a sl;my death trap that allures, then captures and holds fast, unwary insects till the greedy little plant can close them in its .treacherous grasp and make a meal of them. It has some excuse for this practice. however, as its home Is on the barren sand, where 1t must either capture It's food or starve.
 Many other wonderful as well as beautiful things has nature brought together in this favorite pleasure grounds of hers, but the crowning glory and beauty of 1t, all comes in April, when the kalmias. more familiarly known as mountain laurel, are in bloom. Why they are so called, l do not know, for they are by no means confined to the mountains. Here, on the borders of this lowland Alabama stream. they grow in the most rtotous profusion. In great masses and thick cts they stand attaining in some in- stances the proportion of small trees. ten or twenty feet high, and forming copses that appear like one solid sheet of blooms. The flowers are of every shade, from deep pink to pure white, and grow in such large clusters that single one Is often enough to supply vase. Once seen, this gorgeous dis play can never be forgotten, and you come away feeling better and happier for the knowledge that such loveliness exists in this world of ours.

 banks of ferns and creeping vines, and
 under arches of overhanging flower laden shrubs that no art could equal.
 Here may be found in turnS as the sea- sons roll around. almost every beau- tiful plant known to onr cline. The crimson berries of the holly, mingling with the purple clusters of the high climbing smilax, andi the gay fruitage of the yaupon, persisting till it's white flowers come out in spring, rob win- ter of its gloom in this favored dell.
 Then, before the bright winter berries are gone. the woods are aglow with yellow jessamine and wild azaleas, closely followed by the redbud and dogwood, mingled with the fragrance of the sweet shrub and the wild crab. Later the edges of the copses are white with the snow of the hawthorn; down in the moist hollows, gleam the crim- son stars of the red bay. the blue bells of the wild clematis, and the showy clsuters of the wild wisteria. while further on in tho dimmest, most hidden corners of the wooded slopes, stands, in lonesome sol- itude, an umbrella magnolia. with its great leaves nearly a yard long. and it's white flowers as big tea plate. On the dry hill tops above the ravine are gay mats of phlox and wild pinks, and the departed jesmine and sweet shrubs are replaced by gay bignonias and the modest flowers of the wild euonymus. On the steep sides of the bluff that overhang the water, deli cate maidenhair, and the lace-like fronds of the lady fern. dispute their ground with the graceful alum root, and fragrant heart-leaves. with tn cir queer little bottle shaped flowers half buried in the earth. as if they were concealing blind tiger" But strangest of all, the inhabitants of this

<kHT< ALKING about clothes pins, s
 said Statistical Sam. when
 N the members of the kitch-
 en cabinet inadvertently gave him Q chance--"Clothes pins would be funny little things for a man to make figures about. if it wasn't for facts.
 ''The figures are interesting to . mathematician, possibly. more than to any one olse; but the facts are not only interesting. but truly astonish- ing. to the willing observer.
 The average price of clothes pins in the United States is ten for cent. Five-cents'-worth, q moderate esti- mate of the clothes pin holdings of an American family of i've. becomes an interesting common divisor when applied to the aggregate number of pins in the United States.
 Allowing, then, flve-cents'-worth of pins to each Q. S. family, and we find total of 6o,000.000. If Rocke- feller is really worth $1.o00. .o00.- 900, imagine then how many clothes pins his wealth could buy at the price of ten for a cent. I say. 'imag- ine.' because you would probably get pretty tired of figuring along the Rockefeller unit what have figured out along the five-cents'-wo unit.
 "Five-cents'wort of clothes pins punched together fiat cover one square foot of surface. All the pins in the United States SO placed would cover a board walk as wide as that at Atlantic City. N. J.. and more than fifty miles long.
 Put together end to end the clothes pins of the United States would reach over 50,00o miles, or twice around the earth. Placed as
