land. It was on the mountains; it was
in the valleys; it spread like a cloud
of gold over the plains; it lighted up
the dark woods; it waved in broad
pillows along the hillsides, as the
sportive summer wind dallied with it's
sunny %splendor. Why not the golden
rod Does not its bright yellow
represent the hidden treasure of our
mines 2 Does not its prolific growth
bespeak the richness of the soil ? In
the series of our various centennials,
what fatter emblem than the flower
which blooms in more than a hundred
distinct species?
The sunshine and the flower, how
do they lovingly blend in one glorious
color! The spirit of the air stirs amid
the f~uttering petals, and 10! the
golden-haired Lorelei is vanishing
through the unbarred gates of eve
ming. The American florists would
have liked to give America an en-
blematic flower. They did not adopt
one, but only indicated what might
be appropriate.-Ea. s...

MAKING NECESSARIES OF LIFE
DEARER.

One of the important political ques-
tions of the day is how to protect the
community from trusts. These are
gigantic combinations of capital for
the purpose first of cheapening pro-
duction, and secondly for enhancing
the price of the product. The first
may sometimes work hardship in in
dividual cases, but if the cheapened
product is sold at reduced rates to
the public, this loss is partially if not
entirely compensated by the general
benefit. But to use combinations of
capital to enhance prices is really on
a par with highway robbery. 1t is
this that has made many of the enor-
nous fortunes that have been accumu-
lated in this country in a few years
without corresponding public advan-
world the latter does not begrudge
him the most liberal compensation
therefor. But organized capital to
~artifcially increase the price of the
necessaries of life benefits nobody and
hurts all. 1t is really in the nature of
a conspiracy. Probably the remedy
will be found in amending conspiracy
laws so as to make them apply to big
game as we'll as little. Many evils
will speedily correct themselves when
it is found that conspiracy laws have
been "lorded for bear.'-Amerscan
Cultavator.

AN EMBLEMATIC FLOWER.

Why not have one for America :?
While the Society of American
Florists were in session at Cooper
Institute, the subject of the adoption
of a national flower was opened for
discussion. England claimed the
rose; Scotland owned the thistle; Ire
land triumphed in the shamrock, that
marvellous emblem Of the Trinity, the
perfect emerald trefoil with it's three
equal petalled ~corolla and calyx;
France gloried in the lily. Reaching
from ocean to ocean, so richly en-
bowed with fertile soil and variety of
climate, why should not America
possess a floral emblem 2 What should
it be? By common consent prefer
ence was given to golden rod. 1t was
just the season at which the aureate
bloom famed out in millions of sprays

room closed twelve hours, to allow the
fumes to penetrate all cracks. Then oper
a window from the outside, and allow
fumes to escape into air.
Kid shoes may be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a week
with a little pure glycerine OF castor oil
Flatirons should be washed each week
before heating them, as the starch sticks
to them, and often leaves a brown mark

After buttering the tin for a boiled pud-
ding, dust it with pounded bread crumbs
baking pans can be treated with -four in
the same way and the cake will never
stick.
A narrow shelf about eight inches above
the mantel board, with a row of Japan
csc fans placed behind it as a border,
serves admirably for holding and display
ing the smaller bits of br~ic-a-brac.
Hams may be wrapped in paper and
packed in a barrel of ashes. Smoked
ham or beef after being cut can be hung
in a coarse linen bag, tied closely to keep
out flies, and hung in, a cool place.
To remove mildew: Rub the spots well
with soft soap, and then follow with a
mixture of soap and whiting Cor DOW

ing it occasionally with warm soap suds
until the spots disappear.
Worn carpets can be turned into rugs
by sewing the best widths together. They
can be made to look much better by add
ing a border mitred at the corners. To
mitre, cut where the fold comes in, turn
ing the eorne and sewing the edges to-
gether.
Table-clothes break first in the middle
where the two fold cross. 1t is some
thing expedient to transfer to such a place
a centre cut from ar old napkin, and to
darn the edges without turning. Such a
patch cannot be noticed if neatly done
and it is worth while saving agood cloth.
To avoid shrinkage in washing all-wool
goods, dissolve a sufficient quantity of
soap in warm water, adding a little SAL
soda to soften it. Wash, wiring and then
rinse in clear, warm water, using no cold
or very hot water, after which shake we'll
and dry quickly. Do not rub on soap or
use a dashboard. Avoid all patent wash
ing powders or liquids.
Many disease germs enter through an
open mouth. The mouth was not made
for breathing, but for eating and speak
ing. The nose was made for breathing,
and the air, passing through the long,
moist nasal passages, is purified, and
leaves behind dust, disease germs and
various impurities, while the air is warmed
and tempered for the lungs. But when
the mouth is left open, dust dirt and
disease rush down into the lungs and
fastening there develop and destroy the
whole system.
