T. B, AMONG THE INDIANS .

One of the big features of. the con-
vention of the medienl men of Canada
lid’ recently im Vaneouver, was the
extent of T. B, among the Indians of
the country. A great deal had been
done by the whites for the whites, and
lot of progress had been made, but to
what avail, if the Dominion Govern-
ment is. going: “to continue: ‘the negelect
-of the Indian suffering from this dis-
YING,
hopylation is suffering from it. The

they are in saving the country money

FOR A NATIONAL FLOWER

In. years past’ much has been said
and written about.a national flower
for Canada, but so far os we have yet
learned no selection has been made.

flower should be one that will grow in
any part of the country, in any kinS*
of soil, be a perennial, hardy, easy to
cultivate, or require no cultivation,
make a glorious showing, and a flower
that will grow, bloom and: reproduce
itself in spite of the people, so that
even the Inzy will be able to have the
national flower, We - further submit
that no flower in) Canada complies
with all the above requirements, ‘ta
anything like the extent as does the
modest and golden dandelion, unless
it might be Larkworthy’s crop of but-
tereups. :

A HISTORY or CLOCKS

The sun may be r regarded as a time
piece and its motion as shown on the
sun dial was the earliest’) means of
meusuring time. The desire to meas-
ure the hours after sunset led to the
introduction .of mechanical devices.

The water clock was used by the an-
cient Ke ryptiuis, Greeks oud Romans.
The Anglo- Saxons measared,. time by
