She lifted her white face to the sky,
hiding the binding tears. All was still

It's Not the Orchids Board Bill That

You hear them called parasites, which
is only one of the common mistakes
made about the orchid. You see hun

In the first place, orchids are not
parasites. A parasitical plant Is one
which gets nourishment from another
plant. Certain orchids live on trees,
but they get their food and drink from
tho air by means of aerial roots. We
call them epiphytes. Other orchids
gets their nourishment directly from

orchids.

On the outskirts of Sidi-bel-Abbes
half dozen Arabs stood and waited
patiently. They had stood on the same
spot since the hour Of sunset, watch

nor spoken to one another. In their
spotless burnooses they had looked like

the distant line Of palms. the foremost
