In this house numerous experiments
were made to note the effect of the cleo

In report made in the American
Garden, to which thanks are due for the
cuts here presented, it is told that the
general effect of the naked electric light
was to greatly hasten maturity, and the
nearer the plants grew to the light the
greater the acceleration. This tendency

of the lamp.
These and similar experiments Justlhed
tie conclusions that while the naked
electric light has damaging influence
upon the plants near it, electric light
promotes assimilation; it often hastens
growth and maturity; it is capable OF
producing natural favOrs and colors in
fruits; it often intensiies cOlors of flow
ers and sometimes increases the produc-
ton of flowers, and that periods OF dark
ness are not necessary to the growth and
development of plants. Professor Bailey
believes it is only necessary to overcome
the difficulties, the chief of which are
the injurious influences upon plants near
the light; the too rapid fastening Of
maturity in some; and, in short, the
whole series of practical adjustments OF
conditions to individual circumstances
TO render Observation-Disclosures a success.
Deherain, Il French experimenter, says
that the injurious rays from the electric
light are greatly modified by trans
parent glass. Professor Bailey's expert
ments with an electric lamp, protected
by an ordinary white opal globe, gave
results much less marked than chat OF
the naked light; in Il word, the lnJurl-
Gus effects were lessened by the use OF the
globe Lettuce was greatly benefited
by the electric lights.

E1irts and Flirtations.

New York Ledger.
1t is possible, of course, to f1irt in
cities. Ladies who have the prOpen-
sity strong upon them will enact the
co1uette anywhere; but there is a GER
tain Observation-Disclosures about town
life that is unfavorable to the false
romance Of a filtration. Your real
Cupid a make himself at home in
the dust and oar of the me
tropolis; but his bogus double, who is
intrinsically no more like the genuine
son of Venus than a porcelain doll is
like an authentic baby, and whose
arrows tickle but do not stick, plays
his little game most effectively in the
summer camping grounds of fashion.
The bards nave furnished an assOrt-
ment of delicious phrases appropriate
to all kinds of romantic scenery, from
which people who have a taste for
PLAYING at love can select at will.
Flirting is a de- ghtful anus ment,
no doubt, but it ought to be conf ned
exclusively to ladies and gentlemen
who have no hearts to lose. 1t Is a
sad thing for an earnest man to be
caught in the tolls of a practiced jilt.
When he wakes up to a ems of the
trick that has been put upon him,
and finds that the eyes which seemed
to look love q thousand times were
mere ignes fatui used to lead him in
to a false position, he is apt to Judge
of the whole sex by the specimen
that has beguiled him, and take it
for granted that there is no truth in
woman. But Il a man thus deceived
and played upon deserves
Our sympathy, and his fair tempt
ress our scOrn, what shall we
say of the cOnfiding woman who has
thus been humbugged and comprom-
ised in the eyes of society, and of the
male jilt who has sported with her
affections! Her lady companions,
n and all, ought to make common
cause with her and turn their back
upon the wretch who has trified with
her heart. But, alas! in most cases of
the kind they do exactly the reverse
They are but too apt to sneer at their
forsaken sister and patronize the cox
comb who has gratified his miserable
vanity at her expense.
Flirts of both sexes are thoroughly
contemplate, but as long as lady
killers are popular with the women
and coquettes are run after by the
men there is no likelihood of the
~nuisances being abated.

THE Texas Stockmsn Is sound on
the protection of wool, wen if it is
democratic, and has no sympathy
with the men who have free trade
axes to grind, or the fellow who would
dull the edge OF the protection hatch
et. Speaking of the latter class the
Stockman says:
"The American Wool Reporter
sends up an agOnizing wall over what
it terms ''persecutionn of importers at
the custom houses. It weeps bitter,
binding tears because merchants
hitherto of umblemished reputa-
ton, have been branded as GRIM
inals. The facts are that the
custom house regulations are being
rigidly enforced, which has put a
stop, in a great measure, to underval-
uation frauds, hence this wall by the
Reporter, which is the organ of the
differentiation thieves, who were not
sooner branded as criminals, because
they were not sooner caught. Do you
see it?n
This is noteworthy, "the custom
house regulations are being rigidly
enforced" Bear in mind that this
enforcement is by q republican ad-
ministration for the protection OF
American products.

THE American system-the system
which provides adequate protection
to American industries is the system
of the country. 1t WAS the system of
the fathers, federal and democratic
alike, and when the democracy re-
pJdiated the teachings of Jefferson
on this point, the republican party
returning to the fundamentals of
Legislation took their stand upon the
true American idea.

ROME was not built in q day, so all
history us, n a large indus
try is not created in an hour, or in a
year. The Topeka Capital calls at
tention to the truth in it's relation to
the tin plate industry and very sensi-
bly, remarks:
Speaking of the newly planted tin
plate industry, when we first put a
tariff on steel rails. not a rail was
made in the United States. Several
plants at once started up, one failed
in a few months, three others became
bankrupt o 10 after while one
managed to make the rifle at
q loss the first year of over $780,
600. But the tariff was q glorious
success AMI steel rails have gone
down from $3.50 to $50 q ton. Tin
plate may not succeed Immediately,
but give it q chancs.n
This advice is not congenial to the
democracy, who are determined to
write the new industry down as q
failure before 1t can get it's head
ABOVE water. The thing cannot be
done. Congress cannot monkey with
the new industry 50 long as the re.
publicans hold possession of the SEN
ate and the tin plate makers will stand
some show OF trying their hand be-
fore the Welsh allies in the demo.
cratic congress can knock them out.
