4 relic of the time when the jury
stood between the crown, controll-
ing all the machinery Of the courts,
and tho accused subject. Hut the
jury now stands between the accused
and mighticr and more tyrannical
ruler than any potcntatc who ever
wore a crown. Ii stands between
the prisoner ut the bar and public
sentiment and the people who make
it--who not only control the machin-
cry of the courts, but who control
and sway mems minds and conscicn-
ccs. When the seven bishops were
tried the King controlled the Judges,
but public sentiment ruled the jury,
and King and Judges were alike
roworl2as. Bat if It had been {,
Republican government and public
feeling had been rs King Jamcs'S
feeling was, there would have been

Plants require rcsG uniform
temperature of 60 or 70 degrees in
the daytime and DO to 45 degrees at

A word as to the restoration of
cut flowers that have become wiltcd;
the question is often asked: "IIow
can restore or refresh this flowcr?"
1t may be a rare flower, or one that
is priced highly as the gift of
frirnd-in other case joy will fol-
low its restoration. Cut flowers
have frequently been restored to
freshness, even when every petal is
dropping, by placing the 4 TENS in
cup OF boiling hot water and lcaye
them until the petals have become
quite smooth, then cut of The cooked
ends and place in lukcwarm water,
and Tor this purpose pure rainwatcr
is thought to be preferable. The
freshness Of cut flowers is due Who'll
~ to two conditions: either
eYapOration from thr Howors
must be prevented by inclosing in
a case containing saturated atmos-
phcrc or the evaporation must be
supplied by moisture at the cnt end
or stem. This stem is composed
mostly OF woody fiber or ccllulosc,
whose power to absorb water soon
dimlnlshcs, hence to enable the stem
to absorb the most water, the end
must he frequently cut off.

Explosives.

Chloratc of potash is the most cx-
plosivc substance with which che
mlstS and druggists have to deal.
by itself it seldom gives rise to scri-
ous accidents, but the violence Of it's
character is occasionally shown, AID
that most frequently and disastrous
~ in the case Of colorcd fireworks.
We learn. from The report of her
Majcsty's inspectors of explosives
that DIR. Duprc, The chemist to this
department, last year had to ii,ycsti-
gate IN accident in Pains fircwork
factory, arising from the explosion
Of colorcd stars. The results are of
interest as corroborating previous
observations regarding the highly
sensitive nature to percussion and
friction OF chloratc mixtures, partic,,-
larly at slightly elevated temperatures.
The chemicals employed in the ma
nufacturc of the stars were found to
he CELEBRATES of barium and POTASH
um, nitrate of strontium, shellac,
coal and lampblack. I.ampblack is
liable to contain an appreciable
quantity Of free sulphuric acid, but
there was none in this case. 1t was
found, however, that one Of the in
gradients (Chcrticr's coppcr) of ono
OF the stars was distinctly acid, and
was the cause of the explosion.
Chcrtier's copper is mixture Of
chloratc OF potassium and sulphate
of copper, which has been moistencd
with ammonia and dried. When
freshly made it is alkaline, but in
time it loses ammonia, becomes acid
and evolves chloride compounds,
owing to the decomposition of the
chloratc OF potassium by the sui
phatc of copper. In other words,
Chcrticr's copper is liable to sponta-
ncous decomposition, and the pre-
scncc Of such substance in a com
bnstiblc or explosive mixture cannot
but be highly dangerous. 1t is mar
vclous how little is required to in
ducc Spontaneous" decomposition
i'll these explosives. Thus the paste
used for making pill boxes becomes
acid, owing to change in the alum
OF the paste, and as no chloratc mix
turc should ever he brought in con
tact with materials that are either
acid in themselves or are liable to
become acid in the course of keep
ing, it is obvious that the spontanc-
Gus ignition Of such mixtures kent in
these boxes becomes merely uucs-
ton Of time and circumstances.
These remarks apply more partcu-
larly to fireworks, but pharmacists
will do well to keep the facts in
mind when they are handling pow
dcrs or other preparations contain
ing chloratcS. - Chem. and Drug-

Once . Tramp, Then . Gsvernsr.

Your correspondent, while passing
up Pennsylvania avenue with bureau
officer, passed . man named Wilkin-
son, who was recently turned out Of
the Office of the Comptroller Of the
Currency on account Of Offensive par
tisanship." The bureau officer, after
passing Wilkinson. turned to me and
said,
"You recognize that man? Yes;
we'll, there was an incident in the
early part Of his life which connects
him in way with one Of the most
prominent Democrats in Ohio. A
good many years ago Wilkinson was
moving into house ut Springfield,
now one Of the most prosperous manu-
featuring towns in the central part Of
the Buckeye State. While his goods
were being put into the house, and
those belonging to the outgoing tenant
were being put on . wagon, seedy-
looking tramp came up and inquired Il
he could get something to eat, offering
to assist in the work IL he was accom-
modated. The outgoing tenant re-
ferred the tramp to the incoming ten
ant, and the latter took the wanderer
into the house and gave him 8 dinner.
There was not much attention paid to
that tramp, and for yesrs those who
saw him on that day lost sight Of him.
Finally he reappeared, however, en-
tered into the business Of the place
and began to grow. He grew In every
sphere Of life. He became wealthy
and influential A few years ago he
was Governor, and now he has moro
property and money than any man In
his section Of the State. II ID not nec-
essary for me to mention his name.
He lives at Springfield yet and il :
very rich man. His name II q house

Another Ocean Disaxter.

An Ostend, Belgium, dispatch Of Marcn
soth gives the following particulars of .
recent collision at sea: The steamer
Countess Of Flanders was run into of
Dunkirk yesterday afternoon by the Bel
gian mail boat Princess. The collision
occurred during fog. The Counties 8
Of Flanders was cut in two and the fore
part Immediately sank. The Princess
Henrietta took the after part in tow and
started for this port, but had proceeded
but short distance when the portion Of
the wreck she was towing capsized and
went down. The captain Of the Countess
Of Flanders, the first lieutenant, nine of
the crew aud three of the passengers were
drowned. Prince Jerome Bonaparte was
among the rescued.
The Countess of Flanders mails were
lost. After the collision her boiler burst,
blowing the center Of the ship to peices,
killing all the engineers, the captain and
others who were with him on the bridge
and the passengers in the vicinity. Prince
Leopold, Of Belgium, who was one of the
passengers, escaped injury. The passen-
gers of both vessels were panic stricken.
