Sir J. E. Tcnncnt, to whoso work on

No .tloro Edelweiss.
The edelweiss has been hunted frort
one point of refuge to another among
the AIdb till it has been almost extcrmi-
oated In its native homo, una ol ta.
most beautiful and quaint of the moun
tain flowers Is condemned ta extinction
becouso tourists in Switzerland considei
themselves bound by fashion to wear t
couple of dried specimens in their haU
or send them home gummed to a card.
In one or two of the cantons the gov
ernment has interfered to save the per
aecutcd plant, and has set a fine on th
plucking of its beautiful white, fluffj
flowers. The edelweiss does not sub
mit readily to cult ivation in gardens. It
will, indeed, prow when planted in 1
rockery, but it degenerates early, thi
flowers assuming a green hue in place
of snowy white, and the petal loaing
their curious wool.

This is a competition of ralhcr'an uuusal na-
lure. It is common to oiler prizes for tbe best
story, ur picture, or architectural plan, all tbe
competitors risking ihe loss of their labor and
the successful oue merely selling his for the
anioun of the prize. But the Press Claims
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely to help him
self, aud ihe oue who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
i he prize Is ouly a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
Ihe architect whose comneiltive nlu i..r . '
