"I ll ‘till - The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher _ All the Flycatchers perform an important service, but the subject of this. notice may with good rea- son be looked upon as the special friend of the farmer. It haunts the borders of woods near cultivated ground and helps reduce the popu- lation of insect pests. Unlike the other flycatchers it nests on the ground. where it lays 4 or 5'_creamy white eggs spotted and blotched with shades of brown. Ground nesting birds, however, are not likely lo increase in the land. When the Fall migration be- gins, this Flycatcher is said to be confused with the Acadian or the Alder Flycalchers, both of which are summer residents here. The conspicuous sulphur-yellow tinge of the underparts will settle the question (see description). The Yellow-bellied Flycatcher is known to be fairly common in northcr New Brunswick, where it nests; b t our own records do not extend beyond 1916, when it was described as, "rare." 1t is very de- sirable that local observers keep tab on the Flycatchers, and send in their records. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, AOU 463. Rare summer resident (1016). Plumagc: Upper parts dark olive- grecn; eye-ring yellow; wings and tail dusky, 2 white bara an each wing. Undcrparts sulphur-yellow; throat, breast, and sides, more or loss washed with olive-green. Length of adult 6 inches or slightly less. Plants for Naming Mrs. R., Charlottetown: The two yellow-flowered plants from your garden, were kindly identified by the Dominion Botanist (to whom I referred them) as the Evening Primrose, Oenothera glauca, and the Spotted Loosestrife, Lysim- achia punctata. The name "Mal- lo\v" cannot be applied to either: the Mallows belong to an entirely different family of plants. We have several varieties of Oenothcra growing in this Pro- vince and they are regarded by farmers and gardeners as "a bit of a nuisance." 0e. glauca however, is a handsome stranger from the mountains of Virginia, whilst its cousin 0e. mlssourlensia is a trail- ing perennial, the showiest of the family, with yellow flowers 4 to 6 inches across. I once grew it ln the Old Country. Your Evening Primrose has the yellow flowers bunched at the top of the stalk. The Spotted Loosestrife you will recognize as the plant with yellow flowers in clusters along the stem. Why it is called “spottcd" is not clcar. It is a European plant. in- trnduccd into this continent and found growing wild from Nova Scotia to Pennsylvania. There is another Lysimachia often found in gardens (L. nummularls) a plant with a rampant trailing habit, called Moneywort, Creeping Jen- ny, or Herb Twopcnce, the latter because its produces two butter- cup-like flowers at every joint. A visitor to Rustico Island re- cently brought me a few seeds and a leaf of a plant he had found growing there. It was the Cow Parsnip, (licracleum lnnatum), an erect perennial herb that has been known to grow 9 feet high, but perhaps not here. It has a very strong characteristic odor if bruis- ed, as have the Heraclcums of other lands. It prefers good moist soil. The seed resemble those of parsnips. This plant played a considerable part in the lives of the Ameri- can aborigines. The roots and young stems were eaten by some of the tribes along the» Pacific Coast, (All the Heracleums are edible, and are sometimes used as fodder!) Among the Pawnees, the root was pounded fine and boiled, for application as a poiiltice for bolls.

A Winnebago "medicine man" sald that the tops of this plant were used ln the smoke treatment hr fainting and convul- sions. An Omaha medicine-man said that the root was pounded fine, mixed with beaver dung, and placed in the hole in which the sacred pole wad planted. The Siberian species, II. gigan- teum. looks like a huge caraway plant; its large timbel of white flowers earned lt the name of "Cart-wheel Flower." It, also, grew well in the old Northumbrlan gar- den. A visitor brought in two little an small white flowers on them. The flowers had each four reflex- ccl white petals and somewhat re- sembled a little potato-flower, ra- ther more than one-eighth inch diameter. I did not know its name, and said so; then added "I f-Jtlcaccae ~—- the Heather family." When my vlsltor had gone I went to work in earnest and traced right down its family tree. I was amused to find lt was the Small Cranberry. I had pulled and eatpn the fruit many tlmea but had never been at the bed ln the flow- ering season, and ‘didn't know the flower.

"Mike" follows ailing farmer NOTES - A Kind of Sea-Urchin One of the "common objects of the sea-shore", is the so-called shell of the sea-urchin or Echinus, of Linnaeus. It is a hollow, semi- globular structure of calcium car- bonate, and the flat under-surface has a central aperture through which the resident creature com- municates with the outer world. We very seldom get the proper idea of the Echinus, because the spines or spikes with which its shell is lavishly covered, are brok- cn off by the waves that roll it ashore. The bases on which the spines once stood are seen to form a pattern on the shell. Mr. H. Ii. Stewart of ‘ Ottawa, kindly presented me with the shell of another of the Echinidea, found on the shore of Rustico Bay. It is a flattish, discoid shell, sandy yellow in hue. and has the usual central opening. From its biscuit-like appearance i‘. has been popularly called the Cake Urchin. but locally it is the "Sand Dollar." The zoologists called it Echinar- lnhnlus parma. There is a pretty pattern of a five pctallccl flower impressed on the upper side of the shell and very probably thcse imprcssions show where rows of small spines once grew. The larg- est “Sand Dollar" in my possession has a diameter of two and three- quartcr inches, nearly. The two creatures above mentioned, are relatives of the Starfishcs. What advantage lies in the num- ber 5, that it is so often met with ln nature? Troubles of Translators "What is the use of learning Greek or Latin, whcn we can get, good translations of all the classi- cal writers?" Thcsc were the words of Joseph Cowcn. Nnrthum- brian statesman and friend of the great lllilliam E. Gladstone. I lis- tcncd and said nothing, being a young man, and not given to contradicting my elders. However, since then I have noted many pas- sages where the translator failed to reproduce the original scnsc of a writer. In the Biblical account of the Nativity, Wycliffe‘s version (1388) goes on to say: "and sudcnll ther was maad (made, appeared) with the aungel a multitude of heuenli knyzthod" (knighthood) l.e. knights. In Tyndalels Bible of 1534. the passage refers to "a mul- titude of hevenly sowdiers" (sol- dicrs) because the translator still thought of a military host despite the song of "pcacc on earth." All the translators of the Lord's Prayer, right down to the King James version of 1611, agree to write "Forgive us our debts," as we forgive our debtors." That seems very restricted today -—and very commercial too! The English Book of Common Prayer of 1661, translates it "And forgive us our trespasscs, as we forgive them that trespass against us," Trespass, in the sense of "sin against" is archaic today, and onc might use the words "And forgive our trans- gressions“ with better effect as a translation. > In thcse few examples we may see that the translation ls affect- ed by the mood and mentality of the translator: and that the opin- ion expressed by the statesman was not altogether just.

In 1883 Frances Willard had the vision of what could be accomp- lished by the union of the wo- mcn of the world in a great cru- snde against the traffic in liquor and narcotics. The first Round the World Missionary was Mrs. Leavitt, who left for Hawaii, New Zcaland and Japan in 1884; be- fore she returned seven years later she had visited 38 countries. 2. Whcn was the first conven- tion nf the World W.C.T.U.? in 1891 the convention of the World W.C.T.U. at Boston was the first really world-wide gathering of women of many nationalities. colours, and creeds. Around the wall was draped the Polyglot Petition against narcotics, calling upon governments to protect the citizens of their countries from the menace of the drug habit: This petition had a million and a half signatures. 3. What countries were repre- sented in this first world-wide women's conference? The countries represented were: Australia, Newfoundland, Italy, South America, Japan, China. Hawaii, Canada, and fifty-one jAmerican Statps. The Union has been organized in fifty nations. 4. Who was the leading figure of the movement? Frances Willard was the real founder of the W.C.T.U. and her labours and leadership laid the foundations of enduring success. But her leadership was followed by a host of loyal fellow-workers. She has been called the greatest woman philanthropist of thenine- teenth century. 5. How did Frances Willard de- fine the purpose of the W.C.T.U.‘? "The organization over which 1' preside has one organic thought, one absorbing purpose, one un- dying enthusiasm: it is thatChrist shall be the World's King—of its courts; its camps; its commerce; King of its colleges and cloistcrs; King of its customs and constitu- lions; Christ and His laws the true basis of government and the supreme authority in nations and t ‘preparing way for construction: His Eminence James Cardinal McGuigr m... .__. c, ....._._..__, 6.
