The largest of all the flowers Of the
world is said TO be the rafflesia. ma
tive OF Sumatra, so called after Sir
Stamford Raff1es. This immense flow
er is composed of FIVE round petals of
a brickish color. each measuring a foot
across. These are covered with nu-
merous irregular yellowisb white
swellings. The petals surround a cup
nearly a foot wide. the margin of
which bears the stamens. The cup of
the rafiesia is filed with feshy
disk. the upper surface of which is
covered with projections like minia-
ture cows horns. The cup when free
from its contents will hold about
twelve pints. The flower weighs about
fifteen pounds and is very thick. the
petals being three-quarters of an inch.

First Catch Your Tramp.

Governor Dix of New York has an
Utopian scheme for establishing a
farm colony where tramps mag be
set to work

necessary to catch your rabbit ho~
much more reasonable TO suppose mat
| if you are going to put a tramp to
work you must first catch your tramp.
The typical weary Willie" is fully
as elusive as a rabbit, and has more
intelligence and cunning.
In discussing the scheme the New
7 DIRK World is optimistic, and says.
1T costs the state about $4,000, 900
annually to support these classes Of
the population. That is a large sum
to spend for maintaining in idleness
sturdy beggars and loafers, who fire.
quently become worse than idlers.
Moreover, there are reasons fo- be.
lieving that under a proper super
vision a fair percentage of these waifs
can be made into Industrious and self
respecting people. At any rate a sea
son of work on a state farm would
do them more good than twice the
time in prison. Once well interested
in working for himself, the future Of
the redeemed tramp will be assured.
for in every rural district there iE a
demand for farm hands"
While all this is true to some ex-
tent, Governor Dix may as well be re-
minded again that If he is going -
put a tramp to work, the first thing
to do is to catch his tramp.

are mostly Buddhists. There are no

the English rate of two divorces to

Rh;noceros Horns,

The horns of the African rhinoceros
sometimes grow to the length of four
feet In olden times rhinoceros horns
were employed for drinking cups by
royal personages, the notion being
that poison put into them would show
itself by bubbing. There may have
been some truth in the idea. inasmuch
as many Of the ancient poisons were
acids. and these acids would decom-
pose the horny material very quickly.

You cannot chide them as they toll

The storage man is going round
And filing up his tank
You cannot blame it on the hen.
For she is not aware
Her child In storage will be chucked
And left a season here.
Her business only IS to lay.
The hen does not engage
To so TO market with the egg

But man has learned a trick or two.

He takes the product of the nest
And stores II up In ice,
And in the hens vacation time
He slips them to the trade.
