CHINA'S NATIONAL FLOWER-THE ASTER,

(By" The Florist.")

It was on October, 1900, that the Allies landed on the beach at Ming-Hai, in the Gulf of Pechili, on their road to Pekin. The shore, so Pierre Loti tells us, was wooded with birches and willows, two of the trees that seem to In the distance, stand the northern winters.

WHAT A BOILERMAKER ENDURES.

No human being endures so much in the way of deafening, ear-shattering noise as a Boilermaker. The whole place in which he works is filled with thunderous sound as of artillery-firing.

The flags of the seven allied nations floated ingether over this great and confused gather ing, a confusion that was greatly increased by the general exodus of the Chinese peasants, who left, in quite of the efforts of the officers to assure them that no harm would be done to ayane of them.

Mr.

Thomas Houghton, a Binningham boilermaker, recently said to a newspaper interviewer, even deranged digestion may incapacitate one. Houghton, some time ago, was compelled to give up his work, but he cured himself by Dr. Williams' pink pills. Mr. Houghton, who lives at 65 Cuthbert-road, Winsan Green, Birming- ham, England, said :

"I was a victim of wind and indigestion for a'long time, and was frequently attacked by spasms, which were so painful that I was afraid to stoop at my work in case they should come
