do many people like guineas?"
'Ma'am, they're fashionable" said the
guinea man, with compassion. Lots of
people come here from the Back bay to get

folks tastes get kind of skewered up and
they want something different, and once

Cloves Are Flowers,

Cloves are the unopened flower of a
small evergreen tree that resembles in APP
pearance the laurel or the bay. 1t is a
native of the Malacca or Spice islands,
but has been carried to all the warmer
parts of the world and it is now cultivated
in the tropical regions of America. The
flowers are small in size and grow in
large numbers in clusters to the very end
of the branches The cloves we use are
the flowers gathered before they are
opened and while they are still green.
After being gathered they are smoked by
a wood fire ard then dried in the sun,
Each Glove consists of two parts of a
round head, which are the four petals or
leaves of the flower rolled up, inclosing a
number of small stalks or filaments; the
other part of the Glove is terminated with
four points and is, in fact, the flower cup
of the unripe seed vessel All these parts
may be distinctly seen if few cloves are
soaked for short time in hot water, VIII N
the leaves of the flower soften and unroll.

500 men. The plant would probably cost
$3.50. 600, and no effort will be left un =

bonus, but coal and land for its location

WHAT WE WANT.
Provision TO be Made for n Great Need
IN Rock IsIGnd-HOus es for All.

The scarcity of tenement houses in
quent comment. The fact that
the city has not been backed by
the opportunity to provide houses for all
new corners has been as Often stated in
TIE ARGUS. serious impeachment to its
growth and advancement. Realizing the
great need of the times, and determined
to provide it if the least encouragement
is offered to do So Drs. Barth d Bab~
cock have arranged to erect number of
desirable houses, the number to be regu-
la.ed by the demands for the same, on
Twentieth street between Tenth and
Twelfth avenues in their new addition to
Rock Island. The location is convenient
to the business centre and accessible 10
the manufacturing districts by street
railway communication. Indeed, the
neighborbood could not be more advan-
tsgeous and desirable, considering it in
al points of view. The number of
nsnds for the same that respond to the
public spirited gentlemen who have
plated the addition. The number will
be six OF eight, as the requirements may
suggest and the rental be placed at the
lowest possible figure, consistent with
the cost of erection-probsblY S15 to $50
per month. The houses are to be mod
ern in all respects, and, considering the
advantageous location, 1t is not to be
doubted they will find plenty of tenants.
The improvement is just what Rock
Island wants and needs, and if it is car
ried out as planned by the owners of the
addition, it will be the placing of another
wedge in the structure which Rock ISL
and has been building so solidly in re-
cent years.
