Its name is entwined with thai of the lotus of Egypt and the thyme of Greece. It was one of the flowers the ancients dedicated to Venus.

It is a magnificent creature, seme of the larger stags which have been shot having weighed from 500 to Guo pounds. As might be expected, venison is pretty plentiful in bt John s market nd has teen sold for as little as pence pet pound For fishes to build a nest appears something like an anomaly It is nevertheless a fact, tor such a creature exists m the south of Hudson bay. The Indians call it the awadasi, which may be translated as stone porter, from the habit of the fish in picking up pebbles m its mouth and ’ lacing them tn a regular way < u a selected spot on the bottom of the bay, where the water is not very deep One hundred roses are repaired to make one drop of tne famous attar of roses, tne perfume of the east. The people of Turkey and Persiare fond of eating preserved rose leaves, and a pink rose with about 30 leaves is cultivated for the purpese in Bulgaria The leaves, carefully separated from those that are shriveled or discolored, are rolled daintily in finely powdered sugar and then strewed in sirup, with a few drops of lemon juice added.
