The Ocala demands for legislation
are the result OF the combined wisdom
of the delegates from twenty-five states
at Ocala, Fla. The Indianapolis
meeting had delegates from thirty
eight states and territories and these
demands were readopted without q
single dissenting vote. Did you ever
see such unanimity of sentiment in
Democratic or republican conventions?
Never. And yet they say we are all
torn up and divided. Bosh. 1t is true
we have men here and there who op-
pose ono or two OF these demands.
Some of them are honestly opposed to
the subtreasury principle, others don t
know what it is and others still who
compose the majority of opposition,
want to run for office and are afraid it
will hurt them with our enemies.
Some of them are carrying water on
both shoulders and will get it all
spilled before they reach Office. What
the hour demands is men Of courage
and conviction. The people are going
to have them. tx

II Causes Much Loss OF Portable Prop

One morning lately gentleman sat
in an elevated car reading his news
paper as he went down to business
says the New York Herald. A pretty
brown eyed steuographer sat next to
him. The car was crowded as usual.
The young lady had a handsome UNI
brella which supported its own dig
nifty against the seat for little while;
then the gentleman with the paper
blindly reached over and placed the
umbrella between his knees. The
brown-eyed stenographer regarded
this movement with establishment not
to say dlsmay. Several others were
very much amused.
The impulse OF the brown-eyed stem
ographer to fall upon the newspaper
reader al once and rest her property
from his felonious grasp gave woy to
the prevailing sence Of the ludicrous.
She noted that he was reading an edi-
torial. II was Observation-Disclosures
But she had lost her last umbrella
from the absent mindedness OF the
man who had taken 1t from the hall
rack. There Is altogether too much
method in this absent-minded bust
ness she thought IL is especially
overworked in regard to umbrellas
1t always operates in favor OF good
umbrellas too, and hers was new
silk. When this man had finished the
article, he threw his left leg over his
right knee and carefully imprisoned
her umbrella At the same time he
discovered her attention She regard
ed him flxedly with her steady brown
eyes and said:
II beg your pardon, sir; you have
my umbrella"
The man started as II struck with a
club, And 1t was rather broad hint
He looked, he saw he blushed, he
stammered. he handed 1t over TO its
fair owner. He was 80 overcome with
the sense OF his ridiculous position
that he got out at the next station.
The pretty, brown-eyed stenographer
smiled all the way to Cortlandt street
but she never again released hold on
her umbrella.

The probable origin OF the patronal
cult of ST George in England was as
regards substance the fact OF his recog-
milton as the patron Of soldiers in Eu-

Of the Crusades and the belief In his
apparition to Cour.de-Lion. The ei-
forts to show that n special cultus OF
St George of Cappadocia existed in
England before the time OF the Nor
mans have not been very successful.
1t was only in the early part OF the
reign of Henry V that he received
formal recognition as the national

As you have doubtless heard, we have taken
to skirt dancing. / don't mean that skirt
dancing has superseded the waltz or even the
lancers, but that certain fashionable ladies have
discovered that they can do a skirt dance quite
as well as the professionals, and they will seize
upon the opportunity offered by private theat-
ricals and home entertainments to exhibit their
gracefulness. hardly think. however. that our
young married ladies, or even our single ones,
will take up skirt dancing seriously. They will,
most probably, let the children have the monop-
oily. Anyway, 1t will be pleasant diversion for
little maids, and, in some cases, quite worth see
ing for children take to dancing very naturally,
their slender, 1.-the figures fitting them particu-
larly well for lit In the last illustra-
ton is presented spirited sketch
Of a skirt dancer. OF course, much
depends upon the costume and upon the
colored lights thrown upon the performer. The
accordion skirt has usually been made use of
for parlor entertainments, but whatever style of
skirt is chosen the greatest care should be taken
in the selection and make no of the undsrskirts
They should be 6lmy and delicate and clinging,
following the motions Of the limbs like white
crested waves. As skirt dancing makes no such
demands upon the strength and powers Of en-
durance Of the dancer as the old-fashioned bal
let did, there's no reason why 1t should not be-
come quite fashionable amusement with NJ.

Foliage Plants for Rooms.

From The Gardeners Chronicle.
While there are several handsome-leaved
foliaged plants which are well adapted for
culture in rooms and halls, the one best suited
to the purpose is aspidistra lurida and its
variegated variety. Well suited as some OF the
plants are, and the india-rubber plant, still the
aspidist-a. with its thick and somewhat leathery
leaves and shining surface, from which Q dust
deposit can be cleansed readily, seems to
claim to take the top of the lift. A plant known
TO exist for two years In a room seems to
illustrate all the characteristics of o first rate
subject. The variegated variety appears to last
as well as the green type, and they both will
stand good amount Of shade and imperfect
light. Too often the aspidistra is allowed to
suffer for want Of water, and it should not be in
too great dry warmth Of atmosphere. 1t il
more Of q notwithstanding plan: than is gener-
ally supposed. and We have found plants do wen
when standing in an earthenware pan. with
about one inch Of water in it; it 10 plant that
well repays attention and cultivation. Next to
aspidistra comes 6cus elastica. 1t is an excel.
lent subject for culture in living rooms, a. gas,
dry atmosphere and dust do not seem to
affect it; it grows quickly, and when we'll
looked after is always ornamental. We have
seen examples grown in this way in compare

FIRST three or four years. shifting to larger sizes
as fast as the pots become filed with roots. II
IL large absorbsnt OF water, and some very
slight dressing Of some fertilizer once q week
or ten davs will be found OF great value. The
best palms for rooms are geonoma gracilis. sea-
forthia elegans, phrnix rupicola and reclinata,
the kentias and latauia borbonica Phpnix
reclinata 10 Of stiff habit, but there Il tough
ness about the foliage which adapts it for house
culture. The broad ,dark-shining green leaves Of
the latania are well known. All three are
plants Of slow growth; the soil should be fairly
stiff and well drained, and deep rather than q
wide pet appears to suit them best, and
they go down and afterward spread later
ally. Yucca recurva should be placed among
the best indoor evergreen plants. Its long
lance-shaped recurved leaves are Of the thick
texture and easily cleansed. 1t Is a subject Of
graceful habit and looks remarkably well on

loan, well drained, and the pots standing In an
earthenvare saucer containing some water. II

SOUND OF A SUNBEAM.
Curious Experiments That Have Lately
Been Brought to Light.


Prom Pesrson's Weekly.
One OF the most wonderful discoveries In
science that has been made within the last wear
or two is the fact that a beam Of light pro-
duces sound. A beam Of sunlight Is thrown
through lens on a glass vessel that contains
lampblack, colored silk or worsted or other SUBJ
stances. A disk having Sits or openings cut
in il il made TO revolve swiftly In this beam OF
hight 90 as TO cut il up. thus making alternate
flashes Of light and shadow.
On putting the ear TO the glass vessel strange
sounds are heard 30 long the flashing beam
il falling on the vessel Recently more Won
derful discovery has been made. A beam Of
sunlight Is caused TO pass through a prism so
as to produce what ia called the solar spectrum
or rainbow. The disk IL tnrned. and the colored
light of the rainbow IL made 20 break through u.
Now place the 20 the vessel containing the
silk, wool or other material A the colored
lights OF the spectrum fall upon IL sounds viii

there viii be silence in other paris
For instance. il the vessel contains red

sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will
be heard il the red and blue parts Of the rain
bow fall upon the vessel and other colors make
no sound az all. Green silk gives sounds best
i'm red light.
Every Kind Of material gives more or less
sound In different colors end utiers no sound in
others.
