QUEEN ALEXANDRA AS A GARDENER.

Her Majesty Queen Alexandra has very pronounced tastes in gardening. At Sandringham there are several very pretty and interesting gardens laid Out after her designs. One consists of South African flowers only, brought bacli to England by several of her soldier friends after the Boer War, among them being man,y_ lovely specimens of the lilies and white roses that thrive even on the arid veldt. Another garden is of wild flowers only, another of violets, and in this plot are some fine roots of purple violets sent to tne Queen by the late Czar. In the violet flowering season, wherever sho may be, at home or abroad, a big bunch of "Czar violets" is sent daily to the Queen.

When you need a good and reliable liniment try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It has no superior for strains and swellings. A piece of flannel slightly dampened with Pain Balm is superior to a plaster for lame back or pains in the side or chest. It also relieves rheumatic pains and makes sleep and rest possible.
