IN discussing the selection Of national
flower a California botanist urges the col
umbine's claim to the honor as having been
named for Columbus. This is a lovely and
almost ubiquitous national flower. but it
was named from its likeness to a cluster of
doves, from the Latin word "columba," and
not after the discoverer Of the new world.

THERE is no doubt that undue panic
of cholera when once it has arrived. But it
is just as true that any failure to use the
most stringently rigid measures to exclude
the disease from the country at time of
serious danger is nothing less than criminal
folly.

STEVENSON AT HIS BIRTHPLACE
He Is Greeted by 10000 at the Spot Where
He Was Born.

ne " HB bOrDs
HERNpoN, Ky, Sept 2.-[Special lit was q
royal welcome that Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson
to-day received here, the home of his birth.
There were 10000 people present from all
parts of Western kentucky and Tennessee,
and fully one-third OF them grasped their
guest by the hand. 1t was an old-fashioned
Kentucky reception, and everybody was
happy.
Mr.. Stevenson was escorted by q delega-
tion of those who were boys with him to tbe
barbecue grounds. He arrived at Herndon
later than was expected, but after q brief
breathing spell he partook OF the barbecue
and stepped into a wagon within a few
yards of the very spot on which he was
born. When he was allowed to begin talk
ing, after a few preliminary remarks about
his old Kentucky home, he jumped into
politics, and the sentiments be expressed
made the old Kentuckians and Tennessee
ans shout until the woods rang. He con.
fined himself largely to the tariff and the
force bill, and no words were minced in de-
nOuncing the latter. .s,

TIE HARVEST ROME.

All the fat was in the FIRE. Made
moiselle fatty refused to permit Kate
Grahame to share the festivities
of the harvest homo, pronouncing
that harmless rural fcte vulgar orgy,
in which no young lady with proper
sentiments ought to dream of taking
part. All this in q volubility of words
only part of which were understood
she propounded to Mrs. Barlow, who
forthwith carried the unpleasant tidings
to the jovial yeoman, who resented tho
insinuation with the vigor of his sturdy
race. He had been altogether averse
to having French woman in the house,
and had only yielded out OF regard for
Miss Balderstone, firmly believing that
his ponds would be depleted of frogs
and that strange, unholy dishes would
find their way into his larder.
"What!' he said, striking his table
with his huge fist, so that the glasses
jingled an accompaniment to his wrath.
'''Are we to be taught manners by a
frog-eating French woman? Says Miss
Dalderstono wouldn't approve-why,
Miss Baldcrstone has danced reel on

Whereupon there was q battle royal
fought under French and English col
ors, in which half the shots missed fire,
for Mademoiselle could not understand
q moicty of the farmers broad Surrey
dialect, and the lady's keerest bits Of
satire were lost upon him. The end Of
it was that compromise was effected.
Miss Grahame was to be allowed to
participate in the games after supper
and take part in round dance or two,
with no other partner than the worthy
yoeman himself or tho village school
master who was expected Us guest.
If these conditions were observed,
mndernoisclle under protest withdrew
her objections So harmony was re-
stored. and John Barlow, hopping his
face with his handkerchief, returned to
the kitchen with flying colors to Tn
nounce TO his women-folk his partial
victory.

CHAPTER Iv.-CoNTrSuEp.
Not so Dame Barlow; that genial
housewife no sooner heard the story of
his brave rescue of her favorite dog
than she set about her preparations for
his comfort. First, he must go to bed
for an hour while she dried his clothes
no, she wouldn't have him parading
around the house in any of Johns gar
ments. making himself ridiculous-and
he must take a tankard of her famous
elderberry wine mulled and piping hot,
with nutmeg and n pinch of ginger in it.
OF course the ladies occupied suite
of apartments to themselves, and.
though they took their meals at the
same hour as the farmers family. en-
loved them in state alone in the great
oak.paneled parlor. When the dinner
hour arrived. then, Kate was in consid-
cradle pcrpleXity Us to how Mr.. Dunbar
would fare, for she heard him chat
ting gayly to the Barlows in the family
sitting-room, and knew that he must be
in a presentable condition. Would
madcmoiselle recognize his claim to
their hospitality? That estimablc lady
made no sign. The trim housemaid laid
the cloth as usual for two, and Kates
heart sank at the prospect of such ap-
parent ingratitude, But, If the parlor
shut its inhospitable door on the in
trudcr, the kitchen made up for the de-
ficiency, for jovial John Barlow took
great fancy to the outspoben young
man and welcomed him to his hearth
and board with open-handed heartincss.
"Talle thy scat, lad, an help theesen.
There bean't much of spread to-day,
for tonight we have . hay-harvcst
homing, and the women folk are busy

heaping his plate with prodigality
that would put Dunbar's appetite to the
test, added:

day, an I'll drive thee back mysen In
the taS-cart."
So that was settled, and Arthur Dun
bar took one step nearer to his fate.
In the parlor, things were not pro-
crossing so pleasantly. Mademoiselle
was pcevish and Kate was rebellious. 1t
was perhaps the very spirit OF opposi-
ton which led the young lady, as soon
rs the meal was over, to cross the little
lawn in front OF the house and join
Dunbar and Nellie Barlow, who were
sitting on n rustic scat under giant
elm tree. with Cesar stretched lazily ut
their feet.

Dunbar?" Kate said, us she took her
place by Ncllio's side.

1T is only n hay harvesting" Nellie
Barlow suggested, timidly, ''and moth
ing like the grand doings we have In
September, when the Inst load of wheat
comes into the stack-yard."
what! Arc you intending to remain
for our rural fetc?" Kate asked, in dis
may, dreading the complications which
might cnsue.
'For the harvest home, yes! and !
shall stay at the farmhouse all night, so
let us make up our minds to be jolly"
Then Kate grew afraid Of this young
man. His familiarity was not ut all a
Ia mode of Scarborough house nor en-
reg'd with the gildcd youths who some
times called on their sisters at Miss
Balderstone's, so she resolved to admin
lister the mute reproof of dropping out
of the conversation, proceeding which
by no means tended to check the flow
of the offenders hilarity, who kept Mel
lie Barlow entranced with his naive re-
marks andgenial manner. This absorb
ton in self gave Kate n chance to take
critical observations of the stranger.
He was handsome-there could be no
doubt of that. His features were well set;
his hair was dark auburn and inclined
to curl, and his eyes were as brown as
Caesars. Then he wore moustache
with no whiskers, and that gave his
profile clearer cut expression. But it
was, after all, his superb physique
which was in an artistic sense his chief
attraction-he had the form Of an
Apollo.
She knew she ought to play propriety
and check this young mans freedom OF
manner, but when she began to analyze
all he said and did, she could not but
confess that there was not shadow
of impertinence about hira-his genial
ity was the spontaneous outflow of ex-
uberant spirits, untrammeled by the
rigorous bonds Of social intercourse to
which she had been accustomed. So
she allowed his good nature to carry
the last barrier Of her reserve, and in
half-an-hour they were all chatting as
gayly as if there were no such things as
British formality or hypcrcritical
French govcrnesses.
