Don't Re MiSIed.

Many a life has been cut short by Il
cough that was not believed to be Sc
rious. Many a backache and sideache
follows a coughing spell. Many night
is passed in restlessness caused by
coughing. Many a cough cure that
never cures is tried. Do not be misled.
If you cough, take the old reliable
Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure.

Dear Mr.. Editor !

1t has afforded me great pleasure
to learn through your honored paper that
the Society for Prevention Of cruelty to ani-
mails has met with general sympathy. This
Is Of great importance, because in order to
prevent cruelty to animals the Police must
have the support of the community and
that support the Police now feel certain of.
But the Society viii soon be able to tackle
more important matters. - allude especially
to the great need we are in of rules regulating
the weight Of the load which horses and asses
Of a certain weight should pull, and rules
hXlng "A certain age before horses ought to
he used. We are also in need of rules hat
starving animals in time of drought should
he killed, and that only competent persons
should c~astrate animals.
| consider it beyond a doubt that the mere
existence of the Society will on the whole
bring about a better treatment Of arimals,
and for instance the abolition of the goad
Stick.
l am yours truly,
AXEB OLSEN.

DE noted that the name does not imply any
ASSOCIATION Of the plant With rock, az might
at hrst be supposed, but arises from It's hav-
ing been named (by Linn8us) in honour Of
a Lord Petre. AS everybody knows, it is a
most beautiful plant, foliage harsh to the
feel but pleasant to the eyes, with long hang
ing "wreaths' of blossoms, the wide open
caIyz pale purple, tue coroIla OF a deeper
colour. Even when a number Of the corollas
fan off each leayes the pale purple calyX
behind it and the plant is still beautiful.
Then among wild members of the fam
lily we have the two kinds Of +Ffd-
We-a0ood, moderate SIZED trees, with
bright green leaves and dropping strings
Of small white flow ers having n sweet
perfume resembling that of the vanilla, md
SO strong that it is noticeable as we drive
past the trees. The flowers are followed by
red berries, ultimately turning black.
LASTLY we may name what might be called
the salt-Ioyer Of (he family, the blucb num-
gr0ce.+ that lives On the borders Of the
lagoons. 1t must be generally known, for
1T grows to a good-5jzed tree and is always
To be seen in company with the white man
grove on the borders Of the la9oons. We can
hardly call it Il handsome tree, for its leaves,
although bright and shining above, (whonce
the name uitjdu, or snjninq) are duh
glcyish green beneath, and as the narrow
leaves are often sIoping upwards, the backs
are more often shown than the fronts. An
other drawback is, that the surface Of the
leaves appears frequently to have been eaten
off by some insect, IN spite Of the fact that
they are always covered by cxuded salt. The
white flowers grow in punches and the
fl uits drop INTO the mud below and
spring up there, or are often, no doubt,
washed in RAINY times to Other parts
