Procession of the Centuries.
Sixty 5000 candle-power electric
search-lights will ilumine the grand
procession of the centuries as they float
along their course at night at Jackson
Park. These floats, twenty-four in
number, have been dcs gned with a
view of excelling in artistic beauty and
size any other ever produced. The
average proport ons are 30 feet high and
30 feet long. Ninety two thousand dol
lars will be expended in their constluc-
tion and 500 people will be required to
operate them. On ever large will be
costumcd men and women represent NJ
the people which the float symbolizes.
The path marked out for the process
sion is in the most picturesque portion
of the park. It is in a broad lagoon
surrounding a wooded island tordered
with aquatic plants of all kinds. On
either side OF the lagoon the electric
search lights will be stationed, each
with an operator supplied with devices
for changing the color OF the light. AS
the stately barges glide through this
flood of changing color their gilded
trappings will reflect unusual splendor.

Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

An old lady who had been a great belle
in her day, and who even in her later life
was remarkable for the wonderful preser
walton Of her beauty, died not long age
after short Illness Although knowing
that her end was approaching, her dignity
and sweetness never left her, but on the
last day she was evidently worried.
Something is on her mind" said the
doctor, and her affectionate children and
grandchildren in vain tried to find out
what troubled her, and what she wished to
communication she was speeches.. But
all of their efforts were unavailing until a
little girl of twelve, her great-grandchild,
OWNED the pathetic entreaty expressed in
the eyes of the dying woman.
Granny wants to have. her hair
crimped," said the little one suddenly, and
it was even so. The old beauty's face
showed that at last she was understood,
and that she would have the satisfaction
of knowing that she Cooked her best" to
the very end.-New York Tribune.

Vegetable HedgehoCs.

Cactuses are the hedgehogs Of the
vegetable world; their motto is Memo
me impune lacessit." Many time in the
West Indies have pushed my hand for
a second into bit Of tangled bush, as
the negroes call it, to seize some rare
flower or some beautiful insect and been
punished for twenty-four hours after
ward by the stings of the almost invisi-
BILE and glasslike little cactus needles.
The reason for this bellicose disposition
on the part Of the cactuses is tolerably
easy one to guess. Fodder is rare in the
desert. The starving herbivores that
find themselves from time to time be-
lated ON the confines of such thirsty re-
gions would seize with avidity upon any
succulent plant which offered them food
and drink at once in their last extremity.
In the ceaseless war between herbi-
wore and plant, which is waged every
day and all day long the whole world
over with far greater persistence than
the war between carnivore and prey.
only those species of plant can survive
in such exposed situations which happen
to develop spines, thorns or prickles as
a means of defense against the mouths
Of hungry and desperate assailants.-

Poor Attention.

no Saturday holidays and very brief re

his boys grinding steadily at their tasks

The Baldwin is dark red apple of me
dunn size. II grows abundantly through
out this state and New Jersey. Like the
Ncwtown pippin it keeps for long time
and for that reason it is in great demand

How Tropical Fruits Are Protected.

1t may have struck You that most trop-
ical fruits have thick or hard or nauseous
rinds, which need to be torn off before the
monkeys or birds for whose use they are
intended, can get at them and eat them.
Our northern straw berries, raspberries, cur
rants and whortleberries, developed with
a single eye tethe pretty robins and finches
of temperate elimes, can be popped into
the mouth whole and eaten as they stand;
they are meant for small birds to devour,
and to disperset the tiny undigested, nutlike
seeds in return for the bride of the soft
pulp that surrounds them. But it is quite
otherwise with oranges, shaddocks, ban
anas, plantains, manages and pineapples;
those great tropical fruits can only be eaten
properly with knife and fork, after strip
ping of the hard and often acrid rind that
guards and preserves them.
They lay themselves out for dispersion
by monkeys, toucans and other relatively
large and powerful fruit eaters; and the
rind is put there as barrier against small
thieves who would rob the sweet pulp, but
be absolutely incapable of carrying away
and dispensing the large and richly stored
seeds it covers.-Cornhiu Magazine.

4 Remedy for Teething Troubles

For teething, Surrey mother of
twelve" has an excellent recipe, which, in
her experience, has never failed. At the
first symptoms the child must be taken
out early in the morning and placed upon
the back of a donkey, to be borrowed for
the occasion. Care is required here, for
the little patient must sit exactly upon the
cross on the donkey's back and have his
face to the tail. The mother will then
lead the animal slowly forward while she
recites the Lords Prayer, at the close of
which she should take the baby in her
arms, kiss him and say, God bless him. !"
and his teething troubles Will be over

do not mean 90 say that you can pos
sibly become 4 bore to her, but / do insist
that for the convenience and comfort of
| other people in the house you should cut
your visits almost as short as when you
first began TO incline favorably toward the
young lady. Ten O'Clock IS very pretty
hour at which to leave, and you will find
that a strict observance of this will make
future welcomes much more hearty.
Don't be enthusiastic over your fancee to
your friends. Don't make her the subject
of your constant talk. Everybody knows
that it is interesting to you, but you are
likely to be the only one who is apt not to
know how unhearably tiresone you are.
There IS one delicate question that have
been asked to touch upon, and that is,
Should man OF fashion kiss his fancee,
and if so, On what occasions9 There were
times when it was not in fashion to kiss
the young lady until after the ceremony,
but happily that time is only dimly recol-
lected by the society men of today. The
one regulation that believe it Incumbent
on me to lay down is that when you kiss
the young lady it should be in her presence
alone, because, while it is very pleasant
pastime to the young couple. it is bound TO
be ridiculed and laughed at, even by the
sister or brother, and smiled at as foolish
by the mother, so don't show your intense
affection in the presence OF any one except
the young lady herself
In the ultra fashionable set of all cities
it is considered proper that the young lady
should always be chaperoned wherever she
goes with her prospective husband, and no
matter what the conditions may be.
The question of the propriety OF a young
lady's acceptance of invitations to her
fiance's home is by no means settled. There
are many worthy dOwagers who would,
under no circumstances, favor the accept
ance by their daughters of an invitation
to visit the sisters of her fance.-Boston

Education and Pain.

1t is almost truism to assert that the
white man suffers infinitely more from a
bodily injury than the savage, His brain
and nervous system, as the outcome of
centuries of intellectual improvement, are
far more developed and far more highly
strung; so that DR.. Felkin, who, in the
course of a long series of surgical opera
lions performed upon patients of all ma
tionalities, enjoyed unusual facilities for
forming an opinion. arrived at the deliber-
ate conclusion that the susceptibility to
pain of an average European as compared
with that of the average negro was as
three to one. And DR.. Felkin also discov-
cred that the effect of fair measure of
education upon negro was to increase his
susceptibility to pain by one-third.-Lon-

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are valu-
able in horses Of every description. The
head should be proportionately large and
well set on, the lower jawbones should be
sufficiently far apart to enable the head to
form an angle with the neck, which gives
it free motion and graceful carriage, and
prevents it bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, little
prominent, and the eyelids fine and thin.
The ear should be small and erect and
quick in motion. The lop ear indicates
dizziness and stubbornness; when too far
back there is a disposition to mischief

The Father of Modern Jurisprudence.

Louis TX was practically the founder
of modern jurisprudence. About the
year 1911 he noticed the abuses which
were caused in France by men taking
into their own hands the work Of re-
dressing their own wrongs, and pub
hshed a proclamation establishing the
quarantine du roi. This forbade private
redress for wrongs for the space of forty
days after the injury was committed.
During that time the injured person
must seek redress and satisfaction in the
kings court, and if his wrong were not
righted at the end of forty days he
might then take its rectifcation into his
own hands.
This proclamation made justice speedy
and tolerably sure, although of course
its administration was in a rough and
ready way, and unless the records are at
fault some law of this kind prevailed in
Louisiana at the time when Missouri
was part of the French kings posses
sions.-Philadelphia Ledger.
