quarters of an inch on the average, and their
use is obvious enough for when we see the
dry pods shaking in the wind we know that
stronger puffs will become allies Of the plant,
scattering its seeds for it far and wide, and
thus helping it to continue its race.
1t remains to ask why the botnuists have
called the West Indian ~dOgwood a h5h-kIIl-
ing tree. 1t is because the Indians of Gui-
ana and neighbouring countries ore said to
throw the leaves, twl9s and bark into the
water to ~stupefy the fish, which then rise to
the surface and are taken up by the fisher
man. Grisebach in his "Fiora of the British
West Indies says, "Both PiscidtH and
I6phr0Sjn t0ric0ri0 are used 20 intoxlcate
fish" This is good authority for the fact,
but we are without details IN regard to this
singular mode Of fishing, and cannot say
whether the fish, if left to themselves after
the intoxication, would recover or not CHE
latter, however, seeming to be implied
by the botanical name of the tree). In
regard to the fishing places, it is obvious
that they could only be quiet pools, for NOV
ing water would soon dispense and render
useless the peculiar intoxicating property
of the tree,

For Frederik we loved dearly,
Whose soul hath left his earthly home,
Whose corse rests meath Roskilde's dome.

His heart was filed with charity,
His life a life of righteousness,
His home a home of happiness,
His reign was one of dignity
He was Chief i'll ancient Mystery,
Queen Louise noble, stately,
We pray God sustain your Majesty,
BY whose bountiful Royal hand
The "Children's Homes" are in our land.

He will comfort and support thee

Though stricken with poignant grief,
Him who is above the sky
Thou wilt meet again for aye.

A FISH-KILLING TREE.

In spite of the dry weather from which
our island has recently suffered, some OF our
trees whose Towering time has arrived nave
collected through their wide spreading roots
sufficient nourishment to enable them to
bring to perfection 8 8oodly crop OF bios
SONS. Five OF six weeks ago, for example,
an evening walk along the roads around
Christiansted was made delightful by the
sweet perfume of the myripds Of tiny bios
SONS of the kenuep (or genip) trees, and the
same may be said up to the present time of
the sweet scented flowers Of the mammee
trees that border and beaulify the high road
passing La Princesse.
Another less conspicuous tree, whloh the
botanists have called I'jScidia, meaning FISH,
killing, for a reason to be explained later,
has also lowered, and is now laden with It's
curious pods, OF which more presently. The
tree may be seen here and there on the hills
to the southeast of Christiansted and along
the East End roads; there is one, for exam
pie, near the gate ut SamueIs Hope. In ST.
CroiX it reaches no great height, and, as Tar
As we know is of no value as a timber tree.
Why it should be called the dog1cood tree
we know not, but such is It's common name.
1t ought to be called, however, the Jamajcu
d0gr0Gd, as it is called in the United States,
or the West Indian dogwood, in order TO
distinguish it from quite a different tree OF
the same name in America. That %dogwood
flowers about the same time as ours and is
extensively planted for ornament. Some OF
our readers may have seen these handsome
trees dotting, for instance, the Greenwood
Cemetery, Brooklyn, with their magnificent
creamy white bouquets, each tree a bou-
quet, but not made Of blossoms, strange
to say; for if We examine this creamy
mugnlicence we find that the true flow
els form only tiny g1eenish clusters, while
the beauty is produced by four large,
white leaves, or brncts, about an inch and a
half long, surrounding each little cluster.
The arrangement is similar to what we see
in our Bougainvillea, where the wealth of
colour is due to the triplets of bright bracts,
each of them supporting an otherwise simple
little flower.
But to return to our West Indian dog
wood, which belongs to on entirely different
family from the above, namely to the pod
bearing family, and to that section which
bears pea-shaped blossoms, we mud that its
flowers come out before the compound leaves
and grow in large branching clusters, but
nre rather distant in the cluster. They are
not large, bat are very pretty, the flower
cup. or calyx, being a rich brown, while the
corolla is white with a varying and delicate
purplish tint. The pods which follow the
flowers are remarkable, for each pod is fur
nished with four fiat wings, two growing from
each edge. These wings are OF the full length
