A curiosity iu horticulture, ill the shape of u twin bloom of an Iceland poppy of the single species, was shown to a Stratford Evening Post reporter tho other morning.

One of the results of the war is a marked revival in the British pianoforte industry. During the past few years G-erman pianos have found acceptance in the foreign ' and Colonial markets, not eo much Km the score of quality, but rather because they have been energetically pushed. That British .firms are able to produce instruments equal in quality cannot Dei) questioned, a fact brought promineenl> ly to the public notice not long ago, when one of the leading sohools of music decided to use pianos only of British make. The reputation of the British instruments dates back to the period much earlier than that of its Continental competitors, and English firms being identified with the invention of the modern form of the piano, it is only natural, now their competitors are shut out of the world's markets, that English pianoforte manufacturers should bo getting back their own. It must be obvious they have every reason to e gratified at the very wide market now open to them. A cough remedy or estimable value is "Nazol." Specially good for children —even babies. Wise mothers everywhere keep "Nazol" handy. Bixty doses in every la 8d bottle.
