WHEN FLOWERS SLEEP

All flowers do not sleep at the
same time. The common water lily
retires about four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, the daisy and buttercup
much later in the evening.
Tulips and crocuses, being sus-
ceptible to climatic changes, go to
bed as soon as the heat of the day is
over and the evening chill sets in,
observes London Tit-Bits.
The goats beard, something like
dandelion and growing in tall
grass, shuts up its flowers at noon,
and does not open them again till
the next morning. For this reason
the flower is sometimes called
"John-go-to- bed-at-noon."
The scarlet pimpernel, found in
most cornfelds, shuts its petals
when the sky gets dark and cloudy.
Thus, it has earned for itself the
name of shepherds weather glass"

KILLERS OF ANIMAL WILD LIFE
Americans Lead All Civilized Peoples
In Shooting Birds and
Big Game.

We of the United States have shed
more innocent blood than any other
"ciyilized" nation. In brief time,
We have extinguished 95 per cent
of the wild animal life, and this
mainly for our pleasure. A million
and half OF us take out annually
a license to hunt, and million 9TH
ers hunt on their own land without
licenses. In Louisiana alone there
were slaughtered for market in the
year 1909-191O, 100000 birds and
100000 mammals. Some of us
remember the time when immense
Aoeks of passenger-pigeons darkened
the sky in their flight. The last
survivor of this species recently died
in captivity in the Geological gar
den at Cincinnati. And some of us
remember when the great plains
were black under the herds of buff
faloes. We know how they were
shot for sport and left lying where
they fell.-From s0The Poets and
Nature by Raymond Weeks, in
Scribner's Magazine.

ARMY BANDS WITHOUT DRUMS
instrument First introduced In Brit
Ish Regiments In Time of
George III.

Can anyone nowadays imagine I
military band without a single
drum?
Of course not! Yet it was moi
until the end of the Eighteenth cen
fury that the drum was admitted
into the regimental bands of thil
country, though it had been in uss
for some years on the Continent
says London Answers. And it i,
recorded that George III was much
upset because, in 1888, the duke Of
York wanted to introduce the new
instrument into the guards band.
Possibly part of the prejudice
against the drum was due to iti
origin, the first soldiers to march tc
'Ebeat of drum" being the Janis
saries, the renegade Christians in
the service of the Turks. The fash
ion, however, was copied by the Aus
trians, and then by the French and
Prussians.
Originally the drummers were
gorgeously bedizened negroes, the
last of whom, John Baptist, of the
Scots guards, did not disappear till
<bout the time of the Crimean war.
Even yet traces of the negroes re-
main in the leopard skin and the
fourishes of the bandmaster's staff
and the stick of the man in charge

PERSONS SENSITIVE TO SILK
Peculiar Complaints Caused Some
times by Wearing of This Popular
Clothing Material.

Silk is such popular material
that it must be very inconyenient to
be subject to "silk sensitiveness."
Yet cases have been known of
people who could not wear silk be-
cause it was the cause of an out
break Of nettle rash on any portion
of the skin that came in contact
with it, remarks London Tit-Bits.
In one particular case, where the
patient owned silk blouse, she had
only to put it on to Immediately de-
yelop an outbreak of wheals Oh
arms and neck. Upon being inject
ed with an Extract from the silk
a violent outbreak Of nettle rash
occurred, accompanied by sneezing
and coughing and watering Of the
eyes.
This sensitiveness is rare, but a
similar sensitiyeness in the case of
horses and dogs is quite common.
"Horse asthma" and shorse net
tie rash" are common complaints,
and even a horse-hair mattress is
sufficient cause for their develop
ment.
Nowadays doctors have to assure
themselves that a patient has no
particular aversions of this kind be-
fore prescribing for them, as even
such articles of diet as shellfsh,
milk and eggs can produce such
reaction in certain people.

THE PRIZE ANSWER

Mrs. Philip North Moore, presi-
dent of the National Council of
Woman, said at New York tea:
'sWoman is taking her place be-
side man in every walk of life, but
you can still disable her with a
well-aimed charge of fattery.
"FWhy was Solomon the wisest
man?' young woman school
teacher asked her class.
Because he had so many wives
to advise him. boy answered.
'Humph,' said the young wom-
an teacher. THAT is not exactly the
reason given in the book, but ]

prize for brilliant scholarship, and
here is nice large doughnut that

THE SENSITIVE POOR

The late Louis Fleischmann, who
established the "bread line" in New
York, always maintained that the
poor were the most sensitive of per-
sons and quickest to resent tactless
sympathy. In support of his asser-
ton, he told that one day, while an
American was on walking tour in
Scotland, he met tall and comely
young woman, who walked bare
footed. Surprised, the traveller
stopped her and inquired: "Do all
the people about here go barefoot? p
"Some of them do" she said, 'and
the rest mind their own business. "

FOUNDED HOUSE OF ORANGE

The first stakeholder of Holland
vas William of Nassau, styled the
great, who was killed by an assassin
hired by Philip ii of Spain 339
years ago. The princes of Orange,
Stockholders during the Dutch re-
public, founded the royal house now
represented by Wilhelmina, queen
Of the Netherlands and princes of
Orange-Nassau, says the Detroit
News. William the Great recov-
cred the principality of Orange in
1859 and led the revolt which, UNI
der the pacifcation Of Client, re-
suited in the union of the north ana
south provinces.
In 1879 William was nominated
the first stakeholder. The same
year the seven northern provinces
contracted the League of Utrecht,
and in 1880 declared their indie
pendence. When William the Great
was slain Maurice, younger son,
became stakeholder. He was a re-
nowned general, but was called a
tyrant, and sought royal power. The
House of Orange was oyerthrown by
the French in 1895, but was re-
stored in 1913, and two years later
the prince assumed the title of king
of the Netherlands.
