Vicl's Magazine thinks that these grouped
together should be accepted as our national
howers-''emblems of endurance, light and
freedom" After midsummer, in this coun-
try, our rural landscape is everywhere bright
ened by the golded rods and asters; they form
distinct and beautiful feature of the scenery
The eyes of our countrymen are everywhere
gladdened by their smiles, north and south,
east and west, on the hills and the noun
tain sides, in the valleys and on the broad
prairies, by the roadsides and the streams,
and in the field and copses they stand as
tokens of the genial heat that brings from the
soil the golden grains and the beautiful, lus-
cious fruits. No other country in the world
is thus characterized; these plants belong to
America, and as such should be our pride
and delight.
While on this continent there are from six.
ty to seventy species, and perhaps more, Of the
solidagos, or golden rods, and nearly all of
them of vigorous habit, growing from a foot
to eight feet in height, all the world besides
affords less than dozen, and these for the
most part of small size and confined to few
localities of limited area, and always in such
small numbers as to make them rare plants.
The species OF asters in this country are still
more numerous than those of the golden rod.
Both are the children Of the sun, basking In
his favors and rejecting his smiles, Although
many indigenous species Of flower are pecul-
Jar to this country, yet none so abound and
apparently claim possession q thssa s7Haanaasa

Coal Mining by Machinery.

1t will only be matter of a few years
when hand mining of coal will only be fol-
lowed in the proportion that scythes are run
in opposition to reapers Heretofore the
great cost of the complicated machine used
for mining coal has retarded the develop
ment of machine mining. There are seventy
pieces or more in the older machines. A st.
Louis inventor has come to the front with
coal drill, to be operated with compressed
air, as are the older machines, which actu-
ally consists of but five pieces It is now in
operation in several southern Illinois mines
Mr.. G. P. Chouteau, who is great hand to
encourage inventive genius, has betrayed
the expense of the experiments for three
years. 1t is almost sure to revolu+ionize the
mining Of coal. 1t will not throw miners
out OF employment, as tho experience in ma
chine mines thus far has shown increased
and steadier employment.-Edwar Dewey

A Toilet Novelty.

A novelty in toilet apparatus is a bottle of
ammonia, perfume or lotion connected by Il
rubber tube with a tiny atomizer. The spray,
which is thrown by means of rubber bulb.
is too fine and nastlike to injure the eyes if it
touches them, and the person usingsit is thus
enabled to reach every part of her face with
ont half the trouble attendant upon the old
way of carefully washing and drying the

Explorer Stanley's Extreme Taciturnity.
Every white man who has served under
the explorer Stanley speaks of his remark
able taciturnity. In the years he was found
ing the Congo state stations he kept all his
plans to himself and his assistants seldom got
an inkling of them until they were ordered
to carry them out. Lieut.. Coquilhat gives
curious instance of this characteristic Quite
contrary to his usual custom Stanley one day
offered Coquilhat his choice in the director
ship of one of two proposed stations thaa
were to be started at Lulanga and Ba-Ngala
He told the lieutenant that Lulanga was Tie
center of large and friendly populace,
while the Ba-Ngala, though the most power
ful tribe on the river, were audacious and IL
ritable, and his life would be in danger
among them unless he acted with great dis
cretion. Coquilhat told his leader to put him
where he could be most useful. Stanley said
nothing more, but Coquilhat soon after re,
ceived marching orders. Up the river they
started on their little steamer, and though
Ccquilhat wondered greatly what station he
was to take in charge, Stanley did not drop
the slightest hint. 1t was not until after sew
eral days travelling the steamer passed Lu-
