It 1s becoming a rave plant, 80 often has it been grubbed up and cast out. ~The names by which London Pride| has been known show low intimately Ht was associated with the gardens of a former time. 'None so Pretty" or "Nancy Pretty' were among its old fashioned country names in days when it was esteemed. In Devcnshire it used to. be called "Gacden Gates," the full name being "Kiss me, love, at the Garden Gate." The fame saems to 80 suggest its place in garden econ- omy. It was the keeper of the gats. There it rooted itself, at the place of entrance and exit, When words falter- ed, a flower with such a name was of timely help. The very fact of such a name shows that it must have besn found everywhere. Names of that Having found the paper package unreliable and uncertain, we have again adopted the Aluminum package which we used years ago. For we know now, that Aluminum can be better depended upon than any other, Unlike paper, Aluminum does not absorb moisture. It preserves all the original flavor and strength. So now and in the future Red Rose Tea will be pa¢ked in the Aluminum package, as it was in years gone by. T. H.

They must be long to be great. It needs a long book to present a character so that it can be really grasped and understood. Short storfes, however, vivid their presentation of character, are some- thing like a brilliant pen-and-ink sketch. The great novel, on the other hand, makes the characters stand out as if they were sculptured, . . . Jane Austen to me the greatest wonder that she i8 the greatest novel writer, but she seems to me the greatest won- der. Imagine, if you were to instruct an author or an authoress to write a novel under the limitetions' within TE eT -- these, . . . You may of course, have love, hut it must be so carefully hand: led that very often it seems to get lit- tle above the temperature of liking. With all those limitations you are to write, not only one novel, but several, which, not merely by popular apprecia- tion but by the cemmon consent of the greatest critics the greatest literary minds of the generations which suc- ceed you, shall be clasged among the first rank of the novels written in Your language in your country." Of course, it is possible to say that Jane Austen achieves this, though her materials are 80 slight because the art {s so great. Perhaps, however, 50 long as the ma- terials are those of human nature, they are not slight, ] Another class of novel depending rot. 80 mueh for interest upon development of character is that of adventure, novels of the Homeric kind, such as those of Dumas, for Instance--"Monte Cristo" and the whole series of "The Three Musketeers." They give a plea- sure of a different kind from the plea- sure we take in the novels of character nd but it is a kind by no means to be over' looked or neglectd, and it may be a very great pleasure.

There is a great deal of humor and wit which appeals only to the intellect, but gets no hold on the affections.

The term "dirty water" is generally taken to refer to the tur bid appearance of the lake after a storm. The first person to give a correct description of the lake is the Cana- dian-born Nicolas Jeremie, who spent twenty years at York Factory on Hud- son Bay and published, at Amsterdam, in 1726, an account of his experiences, Jeremie never ventured Inland from Hudson bay, but has loft excellent des- oriptions of the Nelson, Hayes, and Churchiil rivers and their tributaries, Lake Winuipeg he refers to as "Mie hinipi" or "big water" because it is the largest 'and deepest of the lakes of that chain. Jeremie also refers to lake Winnipegosls calling it "Ouenl pigouchib."" The first white man actually known to have visited Lake Winnipeg was al- s0 Canadian-born. This was Jean Bap- tiste de la Verendrye, who in 1734 founded Fort Maurepas on the right bank of Winnipeg river near its mouth in Lake Winnipeg. ------S ip An acid stomach caused by Indigestion often creates rheumatic symptoms.
