Lilies to be Scarce at Easter.

From the Buffalo Courier
This unusual weather has produced re-
markable effect on dollhouse flowers. Easter
lilies, which at this time in ordinary winter
weather are about foot high, and now over
2 feet high and in full blossom. They will
probably be as scarce when Easter comes as if
the winter had been SO cold that even the
warmth of the greenhouse could not force
them. 1t has taken but little coal to warm the
houses, and in most respects the weather has
been favorable to the gardeners.

For Those Who Smoke Pipes.

strangling over a mouthful of nicotinous ex-
tract distilled from the stem. "Do you know
what is the best thing to clean pipe?" asked
the Old Sport, and then without waiting for a
reply, he continued, ''Steam. Take it to the
engineer and ask him to turn jet of steam
into the bowl 1t will make the foulest pipe

blinded by the Eclipse.

YOUNG ARTIST LOSES HIS EYEsIGHr IN A
PECULIAR WAY.
San Francisco Special to the Globe Democrat
Local oculist are excited over a curious case
of eclipse blindness which afiiicts Robert
Winter, ayoung artist of this city. During the
eclipse of the sun on New Years Day, Winter
and party Of friends were walking near Mills
college, and having no smoked glass or other
object to view the eclipse, they were compelled
TO use their naked eyes. The sun presented
such beautiful spectacle that Winter gazed at
il until, dazzled by the rays, he was compelled
to Withdraw his eyes. As soon as he could see
plainly he again looked at the eclipse, not
withstanding the protestations of his friends,
who warned him he would injure his ewes
When the moon had receded from the face of
the sun Winter joked his friends for their
alarm and thought nothing more about the
matter. When he awoke next morning he dis
covered he was totally blind A light passed
In front of his face made no impression on his
eyes and he was conscious Of slight burning
sensation IN the optic nerve. DIR. Barkan pro-
nounced Winters case a curious one.
1t seems that Winter had caught the focus of
the suns rays at exactly the point where the
heat was so intense as to scorch some of The
nerves in the mirror of the eye, while the
delicate tissue behind the pupils was also seri-
ousiy affected. Winters right eye, under the
care OF the physician, il gradually recovering

OF the holy See only 40 are of foreign nation
atty the other ga are Italians, and include Ill
Romans. Among the foreign popes there have
been 10 French, 8 Greek, German, 6 Syrian,
3Spanish, 8 African, 2 Dalmatian, English,
Epirote, 1 Antiochian, l Portuguese, Thra-
clan and 1 Flemish. The last named, who
reigned under the title of Adrian vi, is the
latest in date, and his elevation goes back to
the year 1922. So it is more than three
centuries and half since non-Italian pope
has sat upon st. Peters throne.
OF the 81 existing cardinals only 80 are
Italians; the other 30 are foreigners. 1t will
thus be seen that the distance between the two
elements is scarcely perceptible. Among the
cardinals who are not Italians there are 8

A MisinfOrmed Prophet.

From the Woman's Journal
Prof. Goodwin Smith has written to the Lon
don Times, begging England to beware of wo-
man suffrage, which, according to him. has
worked very badly in this country. English
men, he says, should make themselves &C.
quainted with the American experience. No-
man suffrage has been tried in Nebraska (this
will be news to the Nebraskans) and was
abandoned there. 1t is still under trial in one
territory, and the result is general refusal to
try 1t elsewhere. The adverse verdict is the
more significant because an almost fatuous
woman-worship prevails in ''the states" He
prophesies that women would not be conserva-
tive but radical. and declares that woman suf-
frage would work more mischief than any
measure ever proposed by MIR. Gladstone. This,
from an ardent tory, is the utmost possible ex-
preston of disapprobation.
Nebraska has never had womans suffrage.
municipal suffrage bill is pending in its leg
islature at the present time. In Wyoming,
the lone territory where woman suffrage is
still under trial." formidable phalanx Of
governors, judges and ecclesiastical dignitaries
testify to its good effects, and the advocates Of
woman's suffrage have had standing challenge
out for years to its opponents to find two per-
sons in the whole territory who will assert,
under their own names and addresses, that it
has had any bad results whatever. Prof. Gold
win Smith ought to acquaint himself with the
American experience before he undertakes to
acquaint others with it.
Some years ago another opponent, men,

woman suffrage out of 1.-THE recent defeat of
woman suffrage constitutional amendment in
IN the great state of Ohio'-a state where no
such amendment has ever been submitted

English women have had municipal suffrage
since 1863, and it has proved unobjection-
able that the same right was extended few
years ago to the women of Scotland. Hence,

rience than by any experiments in Nebraska,

Variety Is the Spice of Life.

From the Clothler and Furnisher
1 heard good holiday story recently of q
Wall street man who is famous for his prac tical
jokes. Itappears that few days before Christ
mas he purchased half dozen canes exactly
alike, the design being in the form of a
beautifully wrought silver snipe-head. half
dozen of his intimate friends each received
one of these canes on Christmas eve, and then
ensued rush to the furnishing stores to secure
some suitable return for the unexpected gift
On Christmas day, as result the broker re-
ceived two handsome handkerchief boxes, q
glove box, a silver thermometer, an umbrella
and gorgeous silk muller.
''Gadr' he exclaimed, as he opened each
package in turn, but here's richness! the
scheme is coming in just as I wish"
Then he set down and wrote a touching letter
of thanks to each of the donors, expressing a
wish to meet each one of them the following
Sunday evening at the Windsor hotel.
The corridors of the hotel were thronged
with Wall street men on that particular Sunday
night. About O'Clock the storm-doors swung
open and nattily-attired gentleman entered
carrying rather noticeable silver snipe-head
cane. Presently another gentleman strobe
into the lobby whose appearance indicated
desire to be en- regle in everything pertaining
to dress; he also carried cane the exact conn.
terpart of that held by the first conner, whom
he greeted cordially; and presently they COM
pared walking sticks, expressing delight and
wonderment. In the course of half an hour
four other well-dressed gentlemen had entered
the hotel, each equipped with a snowy snipe-
head cane, and forming a sort of symposium
in the corridor while they exchanged greetings
and ordinations of surprise, drew the curious
attention of a host of fellow brokers to the fact
that they all carried canes exactly alike.
''Ah, here he ISL came in concert from the
awaiting gentlemen as the cane giver came in
shortly before 9p.m. Every good of you, old
manr' ''Such stunning designr' $50 like,
you, you know suppose you bought them
all and had the factory RACED to the ground
hey?" and kindred salutations greeted the
donor. who received his ovation quite modestly
and said:
Il am aware that You are all of quiet tastes
and justly rank among the best dressed men of
the metropolis. / only desire to say one word
while you are all together with walking sticks
exactly alike; that one word is, '.Ioblotsr'
A roar went up from the listeners and the
six exquisites scattered as chaff before the
wind.
The story quickly got out on the Stock Ex-
change, and now the welcomed six NAV only
meet in rainy weather when umbrellas can be
carried. After 8 o'clock on clear DAYS thew 90
about avoiding one another, for if two of the
snipe-head cane beneficiaries are found to-
gether it means wine for the crowd every time.
