who tried to answer its logic by showing that there
we're practical inequalities and lmperiect0ns IN repre-

Every system that could be devised Mr. PascO argued
would do injustice to some body Of citizens, ana he
thought that perhaps under the present arrange
mcnt the imperfcctions were more evenly balanced
than they would be under any that could be sub

figures TO show that there so-called silent vote
in every part of the country, which vote had pract

the choice of Representatives and senators.

were local. and not general, was there not, then,
special necessity for election law which would pro
teet the voters in Florida and the neghboring states
and make the choice Of Congressman something more

senator Pasco in reply, admitted that there had been

Queens Who Smoke.

The Comtesse de Paris, the queen de
jure of France, is addicted to mild Ha-
vanas of delicious flavor, and her daugh-
ter, Queen Amelia of Portugal. is a
source of considerable fortune to the
manufacturers Of Russian cigarettes at
Dresden. All the Russian grand duch-
esses and most of the imperial archduch-
esses Of Austria, including Marie The
rese, Elizabeth and Clothilde, smoke to
their hearts content and in the most
public manner, and their example is fol-
lowed by Queen Olga of Wurtemberg;
who is a daughter of Gar Nicholas; by
Queen Olga Of Greece, who is likewise a
Russian grand duchess; by the Princesses
Leopold and Luitpold of Bavaria, and by
Queen Henrietta of Belgium. Neither of
the expresses of Germany nor the queen
of Saxony, nor yet the grand duchess Of
Baden, is known to use tobacco in any
form, and if either Queen Emma of Hol-
land or the queen Of Sweden ipdulges in
an occasional cigarette for the purpose
Of soothing sorely tried nerves, she does
so in private. Paris Letter.

Culture by Electric Light.


In the botanical department of Cornell
university there have recently been
made some very curious experiments in
the cultivation of plants under electric
light. A number of flowers and vege-
tables have been placed where the rays
of powerful electric lamps fall upon
them night and day, and their growth is
compared with that of others of their
own species planted at the same time
and under similar conditions except in
the matter of light.
The first and most noticeable effect of
this treatmenti is an enormously increased
rate of growth. The plants which are
lighted seem to work day and night, and
to become especially luxuriant in foliage
The vegetables shoot forward with
great quickness, peas, for instance, which
become in a few weeks two or three
times as tall as their brethren living by
common daylight; and the same thing is
true of all the plants.
When it came to seeds or fruit of any
sort, the matter was entirely different.
Here the plants which had grown slowly
and by daylight were ahead. 1t is true
that the pea which grew by electric light
came to bearing much sooner than the
other, but its hastily made pods had very
few peas, often only one, and those of an
inferior quality.
In every instance the reproductive
powers of the plant seemed to have been
most strongly affected, being sacrificed to
mere foliage and rapidity of increase in
general size.--Y outh's Companion.

He Couldn't Hoodwink the Indian.

There are lots of fine furs in Alaska
and all on the steamer bought some.
One man found an Indian who had a fine
silver fox skin. He asked six-ten dollars
for it. AS such skins are worth from $50
to $50 the man, after carefully examin-
ing the skin, offered the Indian $15 for
it. The offer was refused, and he then
concluded to give the $16, but on count
ing out the money the Indian refused it
with many shakes of his head and ex-
clamations of ''Wake, wake! Halo,
halo!" and then began counting on his
fingers, calling each ten till he got up to
six, and thus explained that six-ten
meant six times ten and he wanted $50
for the skin.-Portland Oregonian.
