Rudbeckia purpurea. Purple Rudbeckia.
Class and Order.
Syngenesia Polygamia Frustranea.
Generic Character.
Specific Character and Synonyms.
This species differs from the other plants of the genus, in the colour of its outermost petals, which are long, narrow, purple, and pendulous, and not unaptly resemble small pieces of red tape. Notwithstanding it is a native of the warm climates Carolina and Virginia, it succeeds very well with us in an open border: but, as Mr. Miller very justly observes, it will always be prudent to shelter two or three plants under a common hot-bed frame in winter, to preserve the kind, because in very severe winters, those in the open air are sometimes killed. It flowers in July. As it rarely ripens its seeds with us, the only mode of propagating it, is by parting the roots; but in that way the plant does not admit of much increase.

Geranium Peltatum. Ivy-Leaved Geranium.
Class and Order.
Monadelphia Decandria.
Generic Character.
Specific Character and Synonyms.
A native of Africa, as are most of our shewy Geraniums, is not so tender as many others, and may be propagated very readily from cuttings
A leaf, having its foot-stalk inserted into the disk or middle part of it, or near it, is called by Linnæus, peltatum, hence the Latin trivial name of this plant. It may be observed, however, that some of the leaves have this character more perfectly than others.
The African Geraniums differ much from the European, in the irregularity of their Petals, but exhibit the character of the Class Monadelphia much better than any of our English ones, having their filaments manifestly united into one body; this species has only 7 filaments bearing antheræ, but 3 barren ones may be discovered upon a careful examination, which makes it of the order Decandria.

Nigella damascena. Garden Fennel-flower, Love in a mist, Devil in a Bush.
Class and Order.
Polyandria Pentagynia.
Generic Character.
Specific Character and Synonyms.
Is an annual, and grows wild among the corn in the southern parts of Europe; varies with white and blue flowers, both single and double.
"May be propagated by sowing their seeds upon a bed of light earth, where they are to remain (for they seldom succeed well if transplanted); therefore, in order to have them intermixed among other annual flowers in the borders of the Flower Garden, the seeds should be sown in patches at proper distances: and when the plants come up, they must be thinned where they grow too close, leaving but three or four of them in each patch, observing also to keep them clear from weeds, which is all the culture they require. In July they will produce their flowers, and their seeds will ripen in August.
"The season for sowing these seeds is in March; but if you sow some of them in August, soon after they are ripe, upon a dry soil and in a warm situation, they will abide through the winter, and flower strong the succeeding year; by sowing of the seeds at different times, they may be continued in beauty most parts of the summer."

# The Cyclopædia of American Biography/Weber, Jessie Palmer

WEBER, Jessie (Palmer), librarian and editor, b. in Carlinville, Ill., 1 Aug., 1863, daughter of John McAuley and Malinda Ann (Neely) Palmer. Her earliest American ancestor came to this country from England in 1624 and settled in Virginia. Her grandfather, Louis D. Palmer, a Kentucky planter, being one of those Southerners who detested the institution of slavery, came to Illinois that his children might be brought up on free soil. Her father, John McAuley Palmer, was a lawyer, who rose to the rank of major-general during the Civil War in the federal service, and was later governor of the State of Illinois and U S. Senator. Mrs. Weber was educated in the public schools of Springfield and by private tutors, after which she studied at the Stuart Institute, in Springfield. She then became assistant to Judge H. W. Beckwith, the noted historian, thus beginning her studies of Illinois State history. From 1891 to 1897 she was secretary to her father, during his term of service in the U. S. Senate, assisting him especially in the matter of procuring pensions for Civil War veterans. In 1898 Mrs. Weber became librarian of the Illinois State Historical Library and since 1904 has also been secretary of the Illinois State Historical Society, as well as one of its directors. In that same year she also became a trustee and secretary of the Fort Massac State Park. Since 1908 she has been editor-in-chief of the “Journal of the Illinois State Historical Society” and since 1913 she has been a commissioner and secretary of the Illinois State Centennial Commission. To her charge was given the task of preparing and installing the historical exhibits in the Illinois buildings at
the expositions at St. Louis; Portland, Ore.; and Jamestown, Va.; and a notable Lincoln exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco. Mrs. Weber is a member of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution; the United States Daughters of 1812; the American Historical Association; the American Library Association; the Mississippi Valley Historical Association, and the Illinois State Library Association. On 8 June, 1881, she married Norval Wilson Weber, a journalist, son of George R. Weber, a pioneer newspaper editor of Illinois. They have had one daughter, Malinda Ellen, wife of Dr. J. W. Irion, a prominent physician, of Fort Worth, Tex.

VIII.
Well, everything seemed to be favourable: my condition, the well-made garment, and the successful rowing. It had been a failure some twenty times, but this once everything went well, as happens with a trap. I am not laughing. Marriages are now arranged like traps. Is there anything natural about it? A girl is grown up,—she must be married. This seems so simple, when the girl is not a monster, and there are men who want to get married. Thus it was done in ancient times. When the girl became of the proper age, her parents arranged the match for her. Thus it was done, and still is done, with the whole human race: among the Chinese, the Hindoos, the Mohammedans, and among our lower classes; thus it is done with the whole human race, at least with ninety-nine hundredths of it. Only one hundredth, and even less, of us debauchees have discovered that this is not good, and something new has been concocted. What is this new thing? It is this: the girls sit, and the men, as at a fair, walk up and down, and make their selection. The girls sit and think, not daring to say it: 'Darling, take me!—No, me!—Not her, but me; see what shoulders, etc., I have!' But we men keep walking up and down, scrutinizing, and feeling quite satisfied. 'I know, but I will not be caught.' They walk about, and scrutinize, and are quite satisfied, seeing that it is all fixed that way to please them. If one is not on the lookout,—bang, and he is caught!"
"How would you have it otherwise?" I said. "Would you want a woman to propose?"
​"I do not know what I want; only, if there is to be equality, let there be equality. If it has been discovered that match-making is degrading, this is a thousand times worse. There the rights and chances are equal, but here a woman is either a slave in the market, or a bait in a trap. Just try and tell a mother or the girl herself the truth that all that she is concerned in is to catch a husband, my God, what a storm you would raise! But this is all they are doing, and they have nothing else to do. What is terrible is to see at times extremely young, poor, innocent girls busy themselves with it. Then again, if it were done openly, but no, deception is practised.—'Ah, the origin of species, how interesting that is! Ah, Lili is interested in painting! Shall you be at the exposition? How instructive! And sleigh-riding, and the theatre, and the symphony? Ah, how remarkable! My Lili goes into ecstasies over music. Why do you not share her convictions? And rowing?'—But the only thought which occupies them is: Take me, take me, my Lili! No, me! Well, just try!'—Oh, what an abomination, what a lie!" he concluded, and, finishing what there was left of the tea, he began to clear away the cups and the dishes.

"No, after all, it is better this way, it is better!" he exclaimed. "It served me right! But this is another matter. I wanted to say that the only ones who are deceived are these unfortunate maidens.
"The mothers know it, especially the mothers who have been educated by their husbands know it well. Pretending to believe in the purity of men, they, in fact, act quite differently. They know with what line to catch men for themselves and for their daughters.
"We men do not know it, and we do not know it because we do not want to know it, but the women know very well that the most elevated, the poetical love, as we call it, depends not on moral qualities, but on physical nearness, and besides on the dressing of the hair, and the colour and cut of the dress. Ask an expert coquette, who has undertaken to entice a certain man, what she would prefer to risk to be accused, in presence of him whom she is endeavouring to charm, of lying, cruelty, and even debauchery, or to appear before him in a badly made and homely dress,—and you will find that she will always prefer the first. She knows that we men are ranting about high sentiments, but that we mean only her body, and that we, therefore, will forgive her all her nastiness, but that we will not forgive an ugly, inartistic, tasteless costume.
"The coquette knows this consciously, and every innocent girl knows it unconsciously, just as animals know it.
"This accounts for those nasty jerseys, bustles, these bare shoulders, arms, and almost breasts. Women, espe​cially those who have passed the male school, know full well that all the talk about elevated subjects is only talk, and that man wants only the body and all that which presents it in the most deceptive, but at the same time in the most enticing, light,—and it is this which actually is done. Cast aside this familiarity with all this unseemliness, which has become our second nature, and take a look at the life of our higher classes, just as it is, with all its shamelessness, and you will find that it is through and through nothing but a house of prostitution. You do not agree with me? Permit me to prove it to you," he said, interrupting me. "You say that the women of our society have other interests than those in the houses of prostitution, but I say no, and I will prove it to you. If people differ in the aims of their lives, in the inner contents of their lives, this difference must necessarily be reflected in their externals, and their externals must be different. But look at those unfortunate and despised creatures, and at the ladies of higher society: you will find the same costumes, the same fashions, the same perfumes, the same baring of arms, shoulders, and breasts, and the same accentuation of the prominent bustle,—the same passion for stones and expensive baubles, the same entertainments, dances, music, and singing. As those use all means with which to entice men, so do these.

"Well, it was these jerseys, and locks, and bustles that caught me.
"It was easy to catch me because I had been brought up under those conditions which, as cucumbers are forced in a hothouse, force young men to fall in love. Our stimulating, superabundant food, united with complete physical inactivity, is nothing but a systematic incitement to lust. You may marvel at it, or not, but it is a fact. I myself did not notice it until very recently. But now I know it. And it is precisely this which vexes me: nobody knows it, but they all continue talking such nonsense as that which that lady has been talking.
"Yes, one spring, peasants had been working on a railroad embankment near my farm. The usual food of a peasant lad consists of bread, kvas, and onions, and with this he is alive, happy, and healthy; he performs light field labour. He comes to work on the railroad, and he receives his food allotment of porridge and a pound of meat, but he works off this meat on sixteen hours of work back of a wheelbarrow weighing more than a thousand pounds,—and this agrees with him. But we devour two pounds of meat, and venison, and fish, and all kinds of highly exciting eatables and drinks,—where does it all go to? To create sensual excesses. If it goes that way, and the safety-valve is open, all is well; but close up the valve, as I used to close it temporarily, and you at once get incitement, which, passing through the prism of our artificial life, will find its expression in an infatuation of ​the clearest water, sometimes even in platonic love. And thus I fell in love, like the rest.
Everything was in evidence: the transports, the tender moods, and the poetry. In reality this love of mine was the result, on the one hand, of the activity of her mamma and of the tailors, and, on the other, of a surplus of food swallowed by me, combined with an inactive life. If, on the one hand, there had been no rowing and no tailors with their finely made waists, etc., and my wife had worn an unsightly capote and remained at home, and if I, on the other, had been under normal conditions, a man devouring no more food than was necessary to do work, and my safety-valve had been open,—for the time being it happened to be closed,—I should not have fallen in love, and nothing would have happened.

APPENDIX II.
Appendix II. The two dialogues which are translated in the second appendix are not mentioned by Aristotle, or by any early authority, and have no claim to be ascribed to Plato. They are examples of Platonic dialogues to be assigned probably to the second or third generation after Plato, when his writings were well known at Athens and Alexandria. They exhibit considerable originality, and are remarkable for containing several thoughts of the sort which we suppose to be modern rather than ancient, and which therefore have a peculiar interest for us. The Second Alcibiades shows that the difficulties about prayer which have perplexed Christian theologians were not unknown among the followers of Plato. The Eryxias was doubted by the ancients themselves : yet it may claim the distinction of being, among all Greek or Roman writings, the one which anticipates in the most striking manner the modern science of political economy and gives an abstract form to some of its principal doctrines. For the translation of these two dialogues I am indebted to my friend and secretary, IVIr. Knight. That the Dialogue which goes by the name of the Second Alcibiades is a gcntiine writing of Plato will not be maintained by any modern critic, and was hardly believed by the ancients themselves. The dialectic is poor and weak. There is no power over language, or beauty of style ; and there is a certain abrupt- ness and dypoiKia in the conversation, which is very un-Platonic. The best passage is probably that about the poets, p. 147 : — the remark that the poet, who is of a reserved disposition, is un- commonly difficult to understand, and the ridiculous interpretation of Homer, are entirely in the spirit of Plato (cp. Protag. 339 foil. ; Ion 534 ; Apol. 22 D). The characters are ill-drawn. Socrates ​Page:The Dialogues of Plato v. 2.djvu/545

Alcibiades II. Socrates, Alcibiades. Socrates. Are you going, Alcibiades, to offer prayer to Zeus?
Alcibiades. Yes, Socrates, I am.
Soc. You seem to be troubled and to cast your eyes on the ground, as though you were thinking about something.
Al. Of what do you suppose that I am thinking?
Soc. Of the greatest of all things, as I believe. Tell me, do you not suppose that the Gods sometimes partly grant and partly reject the requests which we make in public and private, and favour some persons and not others?
Al. Certainly.
The danger of a prayer which is ill-advised. Soc. Do you not imagine, then, that a man ought to be very careful, lest perchance without knowing it he implore great evils for himself, deeming that he is asking for good, especially if the Gods are in the mood to grant whatever he may request? There is the story of Oedipus, for instance, who prayed that his children might divide their inheritance between them by the sword: he did not, as he might have done, beg that his present evils might be averted, but called down new ones. And was not his prayer accomplished, and did not many and terrible evils thence arise, upon which I need not dilate?
Al. Yes, Socrates, but you are speaking of a madman: surely you do not think that any one in his senses would venture to make such a prayer?
Soc. Madness, then, you consider to be the opposite of discretion?
Al. Of course.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Charles lied

​Charles lied. He wrote to his brother-in-law, Sixtus de Bourbon, asking him to tell President Poincaré that for the sake of making peace he was willing to support in the strongest manner possible the just claims of France to Alsace and Lorraine. Later he wrote William the Damned that he had never done any such thing, but had always been heart and hand with Germany in holding fast those provinces.
Why not? The Prussian princes, the Crown-Prince himself foremost, have been looting the plate and jewels and other treasures of French dwelling houses which their troops have sacked. If Hohenzollern princes of the blood royal may be thieves, may not a Hapsburg Emperor be a liar? The German emperor has again and again shown himself a liar. Has not an Austrian equal privileges? Surely a Hapsburg is not to be outdone by a parvenu Hohenzollern. Then there was Bismarck who falsified dispatches in order to provoke war and boasted of the deed; and who connived at an attempted assassination of the Russian Czar in Paris in order to make bad blood bet ween Russia and France and boasted of that. Why, in the name of the infernal Father of Liars, should Charles not lie; and why should we expect anything but treachery from the Huns and their allies? When Prussians sing “Heil dir im Siegeskranz”, surely Austrians must be permitted to respond with their national anthem “Gott erhalte Karl den Lugner.”

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 2/Comment of American periodicals

COMMENT OF AMERICAN PERIODICALS.
The past month has been extremely encouraging to those who watch the newspapers of this country for expressions favorable to the aspirations of Bohemia. There is evident on the one side a growing appreciation of the Austro-Hungarian problem, of the fact that the fate of this medieval empire will be the measure of success of the Allies; and on the other hand there is more knowledge of Bohemia and consequently more sympathy with her claims.
The bold battle of the Czech deputies in the Vienna parliament and the riots in Bohemia have been the occasion for many a friendly editorial. To enumerate them all would not be easy. We can only mention the more significant discussions.
It is a sign of the growing influence of the Slav Press Bureau that the New York daily papers pay more attention both to Bohemia and to Bohemian propaganda in this country. The Brooklyn Eagle and the New York Evening Mail have described at considerable length and with much friendliness the work that is being done in New York for the recruiting of the Czechoslovak army and for the winning of America’s sympathies. The New York Journal of Commerce advocated editorially freedom for Bohemia.
The noted war writer, Frank H. Simonds, in an article entitled “Enslaving the Slav— Germany’s Ambition” which appeared in several important journals sets out the plans of Germany so as to make it plain that the best way to defeat them is to give the Austrian Slavs independence. Of more direct interest to the Bohemians is William Hard’s narrative of an imagined inter-Allied conference in London, published in the February Metropolitan; it contains a fine appreciation of the greatness of Masaryk, the man who is worshipped by every Czech and Slovak.
​Two Chicago dailies have again shown their interest in the fate of Bohemia. The Post in citing the leading article of the last issue of the Review used very kindly language. “With a dignity that expresses well one of the most splendid races of Central Europe, the Bohemian Review laments Bohemia’s outlook as painted in President Wilson’s war aims speech.” The Journal which has for three years paid close attention to Bohemian matters has on two occasions within the last month encouraged Bohemians to go on with their fight for independence.
The old friends of Bohemia show a constantly greater friendliness and interest while every month brings new champions. It is not too extravagant to hope that before this long war shall come to a close, the entire pubilc opinion of America will espouse the side of Bohemia.

CXIX
13th Dec., 1896.
DEAR FRANKINCENSE,
So Gopâla[6]* has taken the female form! It is fit that it should be so — the time and the place considering. May all blessings follow her through life. She was keenly desired, prayed for, and she comes as a blessing to you and to your wife for life. I have not the least doubt.
I wish I could have come to America now if only to fulfil the form "the sages of the East bringing presents to the Western baby". But the heart is there with all prayers and blessings, and the mind is more powerful than the body.
I am starting on the 16th of this month and take the steamer at Naples. Will see Alberta in Rome surely. With all love to the holy family,
Yours ever in the Lord,
