They represent the oldest families; for their ancient relatives appeared as early as the Silurian ace; the evergreens were probably at their height in number of species and magnific cence of development during the period. The pines were contemporaries of all those plants which were put to bed In the Devonian age, and which forms our coal beds of today. The evergreens are a dignified remnant of an older tree race, which Is being pushed to the wall by the upstarts, the oaks and maples and other deciduous trees. They still cling to the sandy shores where there is little to protect other trees and to the mountains and northern regions where other trees have not the strength to endure. Perhaps It is because they belong essentially to another geologic pge when the climate was far different from our climate of that they do not shed their leaves In winter like the adaptable deciduous trees.

CHARM OF THE BUTTERFLY Beautiful, They Represent an Absolutely Silent World. After all, saya a student of Nature, the chief charm of the race of butterflies does not lie in their varied and brilliant beauty, nor yet In their wonderful series of transformations, In their long and sordid caterpillar life, their long slumber In tbe chrysalis. Nor does It lie In the fact that we do not yet certainly know whether they have in the caterpillar shape the faculty of sight or not, and do not even know the precise use of their most conspicuous organ In maturity, tbe antennae. Nor does it consist In this that they, of all created things, have furnished man with the symbol of his own Immortality. It rather lies In tbe fact that, with all their varied life and activity, they represent an absolutely silent world. London Answers. Fond of Fresh Air.

Stone, who had been ailing for years and was completely run down before she realized the nature of her trouble. For several years, said Mrs. Stone, I suffered from general debility. It began about 1896 with indigestion, nervousness and steady headaches. Up to 1900 1 hadnt been able to find any relief from this condition. I was then very thin and bloodless. An enthusiastic friend, who had used Dr. Williams Piuk Pills, urged me to give them a trial and ; I finally bonght a box. " I did pot notice any marked change from tbe use of tbe first box, but I determined to give them a fair trial and I kept on. When I had finished the second box I could see very decided signs of improvement in my condition. I began to feel better all over and to have hopes of a complete cure. I used in all eight or ten boxes, and when I stopped I had got back my regular weight and a good healthy color and the gain has lasted. I cau eat what I please without discomfort. My nervousness is entirely gone, and, while I bad constant headaches before, I very rarely have one now. I cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams Piuk Pills to women who suffer as I did.
