are capable of sustaining considerable
weight. Last week a photograph was
taken of the lily with the nine-year-old
son of the assistant superintendent of tho
gardens comp!accntiy sitting in tho middle
OF one OF the mammoth leayes.
This is not the first time lilies of thls
variety have been grown IN the United
states, but it is the first instance where
they have lowered in water not attiioinllv
heated. The flower is exceedingly beauti.
ful, and resembles in its first stage a large
magnolia. AS 1t grows older it's color
changes to q delicate pink, gradually be-
coming red. until finally it sinks from sight

Above the age OF 90 her chances are only
one-tenth of one per cent, or two in 1000.
That marriage is a lottery is a time worn
saying, but Sir Francis Gallon has been in
vestigating the results so far as temper is
concerned, with the following curious
results, based on the peculiarities oil
205 couples. He found that 81 per cont of
wives had good tempers, against only 46
per cent of good-humored husbands;
TWENTY-FIVE husbands had but mild and do
Gle wives, and twanty-four of them had
fretful, violent and masterful wives, or
flfty-four bad-tempered men, thirty-two
had eood-tempsred and twenty-five bad
tempered wives. 1t was also found that "a
per cent. of wives are f%retful, 13 per cent.
violent and six per cent. masterful."

established route. one selfish individual
may have done so, and may have sue
ceeded in delaying the work of actual
construction and in causing the govern
ment considerable trouble, but the people
of Rock Island most sssuredly, disclsim
any part in such proceedings. When the
special commission was appointed, and
expressions were in order. they were pre-
scented, but not until then. Rock Island
may have had its preference as to q
route. So did Davenport, and the latter
city resolved through its Business Mems
association before resolutions were in Or
der. Rock Island has no cause for regre,
for an ything it did in the matter. But il
should not be blamed for the attempted
representations of any one man, espec.
tally when that one man has proven the
worst enemy. not only of the city, but OF
the Hennepin canal.
