A curious flower was recently discover. ed on the isthmus of Tehauntcpec, Mexico. It has faculty of changing its color dur ing the day. It grows on tree. An other peculiarity of this floral chameleon is that it only gives out perfume at noon- time. One of the strangest things about this flower, however, is that it should be found in Mexico, when its colors are those of the United States flag. In the morn ing it white, at noon it changes to red, and at night it adopts a soft blue color

A DeSDorate Move.

"John," she said to the young man who had been courting her for five long years; ''John, I sat for my photograph to-day. suppose yon want one2"
 "Oh, yes, indeed"
 ''By the way, John, I had them taken especially for some friends in California, and they want my authograph on the cards. Now, John, I don't know wheth- CT to sigu my maiden name, or wait a few months until after I am mar ried. I suppose you do intend to get married in a few months; don't you, John."
 It was desperate move, but she won, and in two months both will be made one. e.-Philadelphia Herald.

Words Versus Figures.

He was looking for a rich wife and thought he was on the trail.
 'T love you," he said to her in rich, warm tones, "more than I can tell you in words"
 "You'd better try figures" she replied coldly, for she was not so green as she looked Washington Critic.

Thirteen boys in the school at Arcola, H., struck against further study when called in after recess. The teacher, who apparently is a born diplomatist, called up the thirteen largest girls in the room, told them of the state of affairs, and ordered them to march out and each bring in boy. Within three minutes and half bakers dozen of lads with very red faces were trying to study holes in their books, and have been too busy since to talk about the sad affair.

Hope.


 I lay in grief And hope drew near to where tossed alone
 Without relief, And paused a moment when she heard that moan; Then raised her glowing eyes and met mine
 Never a word she said, Yet still I gazed and still was comforted. Then bending low with wond'rous grace She laid her hand upon my eyes, Her cool hand on my burning face, And at her touch bright visions rise, Fresh woods and streams and unimagined
 In softest tone She sang the song that has no close, That deathless song which no one know
 Save she alone; The song that leaves no memory. The song of endless victory
 And future love; And as listened to the voice above, felt as one returning from the dead; Slowly rose and raised my dropping head.

they are permitted to do in this. Many of
these are men who left their own countries

it is at al desirable for this Nation to con-

opinion that the time has fully arrived when
an immense foreign immigration is not a
