flowers do not add much to home
They give taste, refinement, pleasure,
and much to make home the phase it
ought to be, .'the dearest place on earth.
What man of thirty is not often remind
ed of the rose that grew at mothers
door or the flowers the children used to
gather for the home beaHet? The tired
mother may not have time for reading
or company, but what change it Is for
her to cultivate flowers at odd moments.
Flowers, so cultivated, grace every
festive occasion, and cheer in gloomy
days; they beautify the bridal chamber
and the tomb; they decorate the bride
and the corpse.

creditable to him, however; but rather
make his advancement the more credit
able. The occupation does not always
make the man, but it is the man who
makes the occupation honorable. Plumb

honorable and valuable citizens this
country has produced sprung from
humble origin ana begun life in the

Among the questions pending before
the United States supreme court and to
be given consideration at an early day is
one involving the right and authority of
the speaker to count members present
and not voting to make a quorum. In
the suit of BALM, Joseph &c Co., New
York, importers of worsted goods, the
complaint is made that the tariff
administrative act of May 9, 1890. never
acquired the validity of law because
there was not constitutional quorum
10 do business" in the house of repre-
sentatives when the bill passed that
body. The question thus raised is of
the highest interest from a political and
judicial as well as from parliamentary
point of view.

NEWSPAPERS COULD BE CARRIED
FREE,

The postmaster generals annual report
which was telegraphed the country last
night favors free newspaper postage.
The report says that if books alleged to
be periodicals were properly classified,
and sample copies of newspapers, except
TO a reasonable number, were classified
as any other merchandise, the increased
revenue would more than equal the total
amount now collected from publishers
for postage of newspapers. In other
words, the department would suffer no
loss by carrying newspapers to actual
subscribers free if it received Just pay
for the serials and sample copies. Cen
eral merchandise in the mails pays IS
cents a pound. Books in packages of
four pounds are carried at s cents a
pound; but publishers of serials, SO
called, are able to ship their entire pro-
duction from the Atlantic to the Pacific
for cent pound.
1t is stated that single publisher in
Maine sent through the mail in one year
1000 tons of books. A number of the
publishers at certain seasons of the year
issue new book every week, and some
of them mail two tons per day. There
are probably $4,000 tons OF so-called
serials passing through the postofhces
every year at a penny pound, causing
million of dollars per year to be added
to the deficit. 1t is feasible from July /,
1898, to take off the entire tax on news
papers except for city delivery, if all
books of every kind are placed on level
with merchandise, and the postage may
be reduced by consolidating fourth-class
matter with the third class.

The Waste IN Fat Meat.

Meat making in the United States today
is far more wssteful than it need be, on
account OF the excessive fairness of our
meats. This comes about very naturally.
We have great excess of soil product in
the valleys of the Ohio and the MississipFs
and on the ranches Of the west. AT pres
ent the pork maker and ranchman conssrs
a large portion of this into very fat meat
The pork producers Of the great corn
growing states select the breeds of swine
which, as they say. will take the mess
corn to market" and have thus got int
the way of growing animals that are listis
else than masses Of fat.
The beef growers of the western ranches,
and those of the east as well, produce ex.
cessively fat meat Part Of the fat "a
trimmed out Of the meat by tina butcher,
part is left on our plates ~ the table to ge
to the soap man or garbage barrel, and
part is eaten. Unfortunately very many

Tailor-made Cloaks, and al

The corner stone of the First Presbyte-

feet in the Allegheny Parks, near where
Stockton and Sherman avenues now meet
In 1882 they moved to their present site at
the corner of Arch and South Diamond
streets, and in 1S49 their church was burned
down. A year later another was erected,
which remained until torn down this year
to make room for the present one. The cor
