Her Ideaof IL.

She was a sturdy little woman OF 5
years or thereabouts, comfortably but
poorly dressed and carrying a big
market basket on her little arm. Her
face was pressed close to window
pane, inside of which were Christmas
dolls in their holiday finery. A lady
who was noticing the little one in
Quired:
would you like to have one of
those dolls to play with?"
"No'm," answered the child, after a
moments consideration.
"Why not?"
Shouldn't have time to play with
it,"
what can a little girl like you
have to do?"
II takes care of baby and does the
marketin' for the family"
"Then you wouldn't care for a
doll?"
"No'm. 1t can't qurril an make
up like a real baby. l like to look at
'em in there best"
The unconscious bit of wisdom in
the child's answer had been voiced by
greater philosopher who, when he
looked into the shop windows, accus-
toned himself to say:
"HOw many things there are that j
do not want!"

Youthful Replies.

One OF our school commissioners
inspected downtown public school
the other day and examined several
girls.
Commissioner--Now, will ask you
to tell me the parts OF speech of some
words you have just read. What part
of speech is "Mary Ann?"
Little Girl-Noun, sir. s.reis
What kind of noun?
Little Girl-Common noun.
I Commissioner-Pray, why. do you
call "Mary Ann" common noun?
Little Cirl-Because there are so
many Mary AIMS, sir.
The commissioner smiled and OBJ
served to the teacher that the answer
ought to pass.
On another occasion the commits
sioner inquired:
"You say that all the rivers flow
into the sea. Why, then, does not
the sea become too full and overflow
with all the waters from all the riy-
ers?"
The youth addressed eagerly
Because the fishes drink the water,

A FRENCH TRIBUTE.
In corroboration of the statements of
Washington, Count Rochambeau, previous
to his departure from America, said
'We acknowledge likewise, with the
greatest satisfaction, that the State of
Maryland, in all the occasions that the
army has passed through it, has not only
been ever ready to furnish it with all the
things belonging both to war and their own
daily consumption, but that the French
troops have been received with that cor
diality, friendship and hospitality which
could only be bestowed upon allies that are
both beloved and esteemed" OF the
services rendered by the Maryland troops
in the field, Gen. Otho H. Williams, on
July Z, 1882, gives the following testimony
in a letter to the Governor
'They are the only troops who have
constantly kept the field under every diff
Guilty since the spring of 1880 without
shilling of pay, real or nominal, without a
supply of clothing at any time equal to
their necessities = No distresses,
no dangers have ever shaken the frmness
of their spirits, nor induced them toswerve
from their duty. They have long time
patiently suffered the neglect of their
country, not without murmuring, it is
true, but without mutiny or dissatisfaction
to a cause which they are endeavoring to
maintain with their blood"
And General Greene added: "They
have split their blood freely in the service
of their country, and have faced every
danger and difficulty without murmur or
complaint. They have been the greatest
support of our Southern operations in our
most critical situation, and ''their patience
and bearing have been equaled by few and
exceeded by none"
1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Depew's
statements about the Puritans of Massachu-
sets, hazarding all for freedom at Bunker
Hill and Yorktown, are utterly false.

Flowers Without odor,
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

By far the greatest number of flowers
have no smell at all-for instance, of the
$4,000 species of flowers in Europe, only
about 10 per cent. are known to give forth
any odor, The commonest flowers are
white ones, of which there are 1894 kinds,
and of these one-sixth are fragrant OF
the S51 kinds of yellow flowers "a are
odoriferous; of the 1913 red kinds, 81; of
of the 594 blue kinds, 81; of the 308 violet
blue kinds, 13 OF the 240 kinds with
combined colors, % are fragrant, The
various delightful or disagreeable odors of
plants generally reside in the flowers,
in some their seat is in the leaves or stems;
but in either case the odor is due to the
presence of volatile essential oils of a more
or less resinous nature The number Of
these is unknown, and their nature is so
complex that any slight variation in the
temperature or in the amount of light fall
ing on one of them is sufficient, as has
been often experienced in the laboratory, to
cause rearrangement of its component
elements, resulting, so far as smell is con-
oerncd, in an entirely different compound.
Prophylicether, which is an example Of
these unstable compounds, can by slightly
different arrangement of its elements be
made to yield the odor of pineapples or
of bad fish. The reason, therefore, why
each kind of plant had a different odor is
the ease with which one perfume can be
transformed into another. Sufficient cause
for such transition is found in the mode of
life of each variety of plant, and the differ
ence in their chemical constitution. What
ever in any way affects the life and growth
of plant rapidly shows its effects upon the
flower and its perfume The nature of the
soil and its humidity, the variations in tenn
perature, the intensity of the sunlight, will
sooner or later transform the nature Of
plant, For one plant to produce the same
perfume as another, it must live the same
life, absorb the same clements from the
earth, as also from the air; it must breathe
the same, which necessitates similar leaves,
it must build up its tissues in the same
manner; in short, it must be the same plant,

LILACS.

Written for the Democratic Advocate,
by JAMES II. FRAZER. VI. d.
A house half hid amid the trees,
medley sweet of humming bees,
And springtime's sunny, sensuous breeze.
A walk that thro the garden led,
On either side a flower bed,
And God and Heaven overhead.
A little girl with tangled hair,
A little darling passing fair,
A little one with smile most rare.
Up from the gardens sweet perfume,
Up, thro' the house, to mammals room.
The little girl with lilac bloom.
Carrying the flower to mamma sweet
An offering for an angel meet;
Oh the music of her tripping feet
Then, out again with the birds and flowers
No bud more fair in all the bowers,
Playing away the sunny hours.
The seasons Summer days are past,
Gone Autumn's chill and Winters blast,
And the sweet Springtime is back at last. :
The house half hid amid the trees,
Is there with the birds and humming bees,
And the gentle, signing, murmuring breeze.
But a silent something haunts the air.
And the darling with the smile sorare,
That erstwhile made the scene so fair,
Lies flushed and hot on her little bed,
And her mamma moves with noiseless tread
As she soothes the tossing, tangled head.
lighted window in the night
\ glimmering windows fitful light.
Above-the stars cold SILENT bright.
All! days are long and nights are lone,
When death is stealing DER our hearts own,
And we pray and wait before Gods throne.
At last, as day died out in the West.
The little sufferer sank to rest,
Her head upon her mammals breast.
And, as a seraph with snowy wing,
Came from Heaven her spirit to bring
She WHISPERED, Hear the angels sing
Thus the sweet bearer of Springtime bloom,
Fell asleep in her mothers room,
The dreamless sleep of the silent tomb.
In her hand was placed lilac spray,
Fresh from the bush by the garden way,
Like the one she carried her mamma that day
Sure hearts beat on tho broken and dead,
And mothers must live tho life be fed,
Who notes or reckons the tears they shed.
A little mound ON q sunlit hill,
A sleeping place cool, restful, still.
BY peaceful rivers murmuring thrill.
A house half hid amid the trees.
A medley sad of birds and bees.
And Springtime's signing, sobbing breeze.
