"Look under the branches of your Maple. Bitch. or perhaps Poplar trees for a. humming-bird's nest. They build under the branch but enter from above. They lay two eggs. and when the young birds are hatched they are Just the size of bumble bees. one head turned one way and vice-versa. when you approach the nest. The old bird is very friendly; I have had her dip into Sweet Peas 1 was cutting near hey nest on the Portland Open Air sanitorlum grounds in Portland, Oregon. where I was superinten- dent for several years.

Such is the ornamentation of the girls. As soon as they are married, the mother in deliver-

ing them to their husbands, cuts their hair. This is the symbol of marriage. as it is also for the hus- band.

The law which they observed in old times was this -- to do to an- other only that which they Wlshed in be clone in them. They had no worship. They refused nothing to one another. If one wigwam of family had not provisions enough. the neighbours supplied them. al- though they had only that which was necessary for themselves. And in all other things it was th-

same.

They lived pure lives; the wives were faithful to their husbands. and the girls were very chaste. They were not subject to diseases. and knew nothing of fever. If any accident happened to them. by falling, by burning. or in cutting wood. through lack of good axes. theirs" being unsteady through failure to cut well. they did not need a physician.

When they commenced to sweat they threw on more water only from time to time. When the rocks were cold they threw them outside. and they were given oth- ers all red-hot. They did not make haste in the sweating. but heated up little by little. but so thoroughly that the water trickled over them in all parts. and these they wiped down from time to time with the hand. They re- mained there as long as they could, and they stuck to it an hour and A half or two hours. During this time they chanted songs. and told stories to make themselves laugh.

When they wished to come out. they dashed on the water as much as they could from head to foot. and then, making 8. run. went to throw themselves into the sea or a river. Being refreshed they put their robe: upon them; and then went into their wigwam as com- posed as ever.

Our Frenchmen make themselves sweat like them. and throw them- selves into the water similarly. and are never incommoded there- by. The water in those parts never injures the health. In the winter when our men go a hunting. some- times they have no Dogs, and when they kill game those who know how to swim throw them- selves into the water to go after it.

The Day Lily was introduced into Britain in 1596. and the fact that its flowers can be recognized in many of the old floral pictures and embroideries proves its long and deserved popularity with British gardeners.
