RARE P0SIES IN THE ARCTIC
Rich Blossoms Natures Compensation
for Long Winter During Which
There 10 No Sunshine.

In the brief, bright. nIghtless suIn-
mer the Arctic is a paradise Of flowers.
IL would seem to be a compensation
Of Dame Nature for the long winter,
during which the sun never shows his
jolly face once. observes a correspond
ent.
A great many Of these plants have
OF late years become familiar to gar
den lovers because they are much used
In rock gardens, and every flower lover
knows their delicacy of structure, their
brightness of color and their hardi-
hood.
But nothing can beat their original
environment. These patches of yellow
and blue and rose and purple, cheek
by jowl with great beds Of snow or
some stranded and long unmelted berg,
look lovely. 1t is the setting they were
made for.
strangely enough, when brought
south and cOaxed to grow In our gar
dens, these Arctic and Alpine plants
lose both a part Of their great vitality
and their lovely tint. They pine for
the Arctic like the Eskimo does.
Nansen tells of delicate ~bluebells
nodding In the breeze, saxifrages with
large blossoms, pale yellow mountain
peoples, white cloudberry flowers, and
blue forget-me-nots in countless mil
lions in the neighborhood Of the north
pole. So 1t Is not all desolation and
death. A flower seed is one of the
most difficult things in nature to kill.
Give 1t half a chance and 1t will show
up smiling, and do its 'bit" in making
the world a brighter place TO live In.

At that time the Constitution re-
quired the presidential electors to vote
for two persons, the one receiving the
majority TO be president and the n

be vice president. There had been no
conventions held, N nominations
made and no platforms adopted. The
presidential electors were left without
instructions, to vote as they pleased or
according to their W discretion.

ITS GRANDMOTHER'S RECIPE

Almost everyone knows that Sag
Tea and sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural col
or and lustre to the hair when faded
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make
1t at home. which is mussy and trou-
blesome. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray; Try it, No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
