for september the arrival of september to many neople the end of sum and consequently a season of dirge and lamentation others would sing paeans to the relief of cosier nights of sweet repose which the turn of the year brings with that soft gauxy wlst- futness of the countryside so redol eat of the evanescent enchantment of oing the fall of dewspangled gossamer is one of the many charms of sweet september numberless threads of the very finest silk made by uny spiders supposed in simpler times to supply the looms with which fairies wove the material for their dainty little dresses then there is the mystic fascination of the huge orange harvest moon by night while by day the september sun touches the blushing trees gently as with- a benison towards the end of the month many of these trees will turn into a blaze of glory the sumacs are among the first to change not only their beautiful fernlike leaves shade into purple crimson and orange but the erect tight velvety clusters of fruit be come red and persist after the leaves have fallen tne berries are clothed with a hairy stickiness that is pleas antly add these trees and shrubs are often found growing on hot dry hillsides whan their frultlt is said- offers a grateful relreshment to the thirsty traveller whether sucked in the mouth unu bared of their acid coating or steeped in water to serve as a woodland lemonade another contribution to septembers splendour is the ideal colour combln atlon of gold and royal purple made by the goldenrods and man at this time the goldenrods flood the world with gold in their over eighty different kinds ot all shapes and siaes they may be seen growing everywhere from the tops of moun tains to the seaside there are also those which live in the woods and others which prefer to dwell in the swamps ail the canadian goldenrods have yellow flowers except one and that is known as silver rod solidago bi color because its flowers are cream white only an expert can name most of the species there are however some outstanding kinds which are reco by the average botanist such as the bluestemmed or wreath goldenrod s caesla whose un branched stem is studied lor nearly its entire length with pale yellow clusters of flowers in the axils of its feather veined leaves it favours moist woods and thickets another woodland species is the zlg zag 8 flexlcaulis socalled on account at its prolonged angled stem adorned with small clusters of flowers in much the same manner as s caesla but its sawedged leaves are oval in the swamps and peat bogs the bog gol denrod s uliginose sends up two to four feet high a densely flowered ob long terminal spire of flowers its short branches are so appressed that it has a wandlike effect the leaves are long and narrow the lowest often measuring nine inches long but per haps the best known of all are the canada goldenrod sfs canadensis and the tall goldenrod s altlsslmat which transform whole acres into lakes of gold with their waving plumes of pyramid shaped clusters of flowers one much resembles the other but the tall goldenrod is taller and has larger flowerheads while canada goldenrod has nearly the smallest flowerheads of them all the asters or michaelmas daisies socalled because the feast o st michael falls on september 28th form another large and complicated vrowawqf plants and are m many casesnmrd to tell apart but a few can be named at sight such as the largeleaved aster aster macrophyl- lus socalled because of its three or four conspicuous leaves oh long stems in a clump near the ground it grows in shady places as does the heart leaved astei a cordlfolius with its masses of pale lavender flowerheads but the best of them all is the new england aster a novae angllae with its huge branching clusters of large violet or magenta purple flowerheads and so dressed in gold and royal purple september as with a fanfare of trumpets halls the harvest it is- all very wonderful this march of floras year which starts with the primitive catkinbearing families and ends triumphantly with the new est and most complex the- composite tq which the goldenrods and asters belong morris j mchenry to direct new department formation of a hydro

columns that the fifty or sixty millions of dollars we pay into the treasury every year to take care of that lame duck the government owned railway is not lost the fol lowing by the journals writer should show how to do it the fallacy that money which we pay to the government for a service such as our canadian national rail ways is lost how is it lost this money lsn t thrown into the ocean doesn t dlssappear it is paid to proa ducers of materials who employ work era paid to bond holders who in turn use it to by goods ana services from other canadians to employ other canadians thus apart altogether from the value that we get in national service the money we put up for can adlan national railways deficit finds its way into the pockets of our can adian people its full purchasing pow er remaining to help canadians sounds almost like an argument to wreck the journal building and plant in order to provide work and wages to rebuild it only the public treasury could not be touched for
