Hours in the Gray of Morning When Every
/ One is Busy
The flower season lasts from January to
June, and Scllly to be seen In its glory
should be visited in the spring. At that
| time st. Mary's, which is the principal
| flower growing island, resembles a large
| place of brilliant patchwork; Il e air is filed
with perfume, and almost every person on
| the island is engaged in plucking, tim
ming or packing. The flowers are pluck
ed on fine day just before they have
| opened and taken TO damp room with a
| temperature of about 20 degrees; then
every vessel which will hold water is re-
QUESTIONED, and In these the blooms, after
having the superhuouS leaves carefully re-
moved, are wet until the time for pack
! ing comes This operation is deferred as
long as possible, says Chambers Journal,
/ perhaps for a couple of days after pick lIg,
and meanwhile the boxes and baskets are
prepared with soft layers Of hay and ferns,
and labels and cord are got ready, as well
as dainty coiored paper, with scaIloped
I edges, for the more expensive flowers.
| At length the final stage is entered upon
perhaps at midnight, and for hour after
! hour there Is no cessation, one person dry
ing the stems, another tying the punches
another packing, fourth mailing up and
a fifth perhaps helping generally. On and
| off into the gray morning the workers toll
in an atmosphere which the heat and the
ordor of tens of thousands OF fJwers have
made almost insupportabe, gradually
! building around themselves wall of neat
! packages, their movements growing fever
ish as the sound OF passing wheels reminds
them that their neighbors' flowers are al
ready on the way to market. At last the
/ task is over; the horses move off with their
load and take place in the line of We
hicles which every highway is discharg
ing on the pier; and ere the weary
flower farmers have well finished their
| hardly earned breakfast shrill whistle
| announces the departure Of the steamer.
At Penzagce a special train is waiting to
convey the beauty and perfume of Seilly

tables of the wealthy, to brighten Inc

Collision Between a Steamship and a Whale,

The Anchor Line steamer Ethiopia,
on it's last passage to New York, en-
countered a large whale about 500
miles east OF Sandy Hook. The cap
tain and second officer were on the
bridge keeping a close watch ahead.
Suddenly a whale came to the surface
directly in the path OF the ship and
only a few feet ahead. The ship was
rushing toward the whale at the rate
of sixteen miles an hour. There was
no time to check the speed OF the
vessel, and almost before the aston
ished officers realized it the ships
sharp iron prov crashed into the
monster. The blow was q direct in
cisive one. The ship seemed to sail
right through the whale, which disa-
peared almost Immediately, leaving q
trail of crimson as far as the eye could
see. Shortly afterward the whale was
sighted astern, floating lifelessly.
When the ship came into collision with
the whale, the shock caused the vessel
to tremble from stem to stern, and
somewhat startled the passengers.

Freedom in All Worlds.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, the orator
and lawyer, patriot and statesman,
philanthropist and infdel, in one OF
his recent lectures expressed himself
in a forcible n in regard to lib
erty in the world to come. Among
other things he said;
al have insisted that in this life and
in any other, man will have an ever
lasting opportunity OF doing right,
and that there can be no hell in which
a man will not have the privilege OF
behaving himself; there will be no
heaven in which a man will not have
the opportunity OF acting like the
devil. la other words that there must
he freedom i'll all worlds. That is my
doctrine. One tear OF pity has in it
more refreshing power than all the
fires OF perdition. There is more
goodness In one ray of light than in
all the hells that have ever been on
jured, more goodness in kindness than
in all brute force possible to conceive.
LET us enjoy ourselves in this
world; we are not sure about that
other one. That boy was a philoso-
pher in 1913, when the world was
coming to an end, and his mother
said to him.: John, the world is COM
ing to an end tonight We'll, then,'
he said, 'let us eat the remainder of
the mince pie
"Let every man treat his wife as
though she were a splendid flower and
there will be a home filled with the
perfume OF Joy. A home where virtue
dwells with love is like n lily with a
heart OF fire-the fairest Hover in all
this world.
IL want to do what little | can while
live to increase the liberty OF the
world, to hasten the coming OF that
great day when all men Will be civil
lized enough % only to be free, but
not to interfere with the liberty OF
others. | want to hasten the coming
OF that day when men will know you
cannot be religious without liberty,
that YOU cannot worship without
freedom: when men will be civilized
enough to know that love nno be
forced, that it must rise like the per-
fume from the heart-absolutely free.
want to live long enough to know
that men think more OF deed than
they do OF creed, more OF What man
does than OF his theories, and | want
to live long enough to see universal
and eternal liberty on the throne OF
this universe. o, liberty! dwell not
forever in the dream OF the enthusiast,
in the hope OF patriot, in the prayer
OF philanthropist, but come and take
up your abode with the children OF
men! know not what inventions
may spring from the brains OF the fu-
ture. i know not what garments OF
glory may be woven in the loom OF
the years to be, but / do know that
the coming from the infinite sea OF the
future there will never touch this bank
and shore OF time a greater blessing, a
rarer gift, than liberty for man, for
woman and for child"

Dogs in the Manager.

New York Ledger: There are in con-
gress men who seem to take a sort of
malicious delight in defeating not only
all private bills, but all others which
do not directly bear upon the govern
ment service. They take pride in
calling themselves and in being called
1.-THE watch dogs OF the treasury"
Within reasonable limits this sort of
care and prudence does very well, but
when, as is often the case, it stands
bet the individual and the money
honestly due him from the govern
ment, it savors OF the dog-in-the-man-
ger spirit, and causes great wrong and
hardship to deserving and innocent
persons.

He Was Avenged.

Detroit Free Press: Eldurado Cor
dova was a Spaniard, vindictive,
cruel, Jealous and a tobacconist.
He sold cigars by the box and loved
Bridgetina McGinti, a beauteous
maiden from the far, fair Sorrentian
shore where the Blue Mediterranean
paints the Italian cliffs.
But Bridgetina loved another, hand
some Richelieu de Rivoli, the Appolo
Belyidere of County Cork.
And Richelieu was a corker.
How could she help but love him?
How could she help bnt marry him
when he asked her?
She couldn't.
So she did.
And Elduarado was furious.
BY thunder, but he was hot
So hot, in fact, that his customers
lit their cigars on his emotions for
three weeks after ~Bridgetina answered
to the name OF Mrs. DE Rivoli.
The first thought of aSpaniard who
gets it in the neck is revenge and Ell
duardo kept a large supply of the first
thought right where he could put his
hand on it at u minutes notice.
Yet withal he dissembled.
My, my, what a dissembler that
Spaniard was and Bridgetina never
trembled.
She smiled her same pretty smiles
on Eldurado and invited him to come
up any time and call on her and her
family, and a lot more of that sort OF
thing. Well, Eduardo nearly bank
rupted himself smoking his own cigars
at cost, in order to quiet his nerves.
One beautiful morn Mrs. DE Rivoli
entered Cordova's Smokers Empor-
ium and with a delightful little twitter
of innocence she informed him that
she vas about three-fourths daft try
ing to think of something for her dear
Richelieu's birthday present, u for
the life of her she couldn't tell what
to get him.
Elduardo's eyes glittered with a
strange new hope.
His cruel lips curved all about it.
But he spoke not.
She stood there in deep thought for
several moments.
"What a ninny | am" she broke
he ground his teeth at the "NIr."-you
nave the very InlhS. III guy nun d
box of cigars. Won't that just betoo
lovely for anything?"
Elduardo's breath came thick and
fast. His breast heaved and the gilt
ter in his eyes grew glitterer.
"Alhambra be praised" he NUT
tered, too low for ner to hear, as he
flung out a dozen boxes for her in
spection.
She chose one with the prettiest pic
lures on it, and with a happy, girlish
laugh curling over her sweet, red lips,
she nodded adieu and went away to
meet her husband.
Eduardo embraced himself to his
throbbing bosom in an ecstasy OF de-
light.

A Warning-Don't Use Big Words.

In promulgating esoteric cogitations or
a~rticuiating superficial sentimentalities
and philosophical or psychological observ-
atoms, beware OF platitudinous ponder
osity. Let your statements possess n clar-
flied conciseness, compacted c~omprehensi-
bleness, coalescent consistency and a
concentrated cogency. Eschew all con-
generations OF hatulent garrulity, %ieiune
babblement and asinine Alterations. In
trying to impress upon Others the superb
ority of the Wisconsin Central Lines, and
why you and so many Others use this thor
oughfare from st. Paul and Minneapolis
and Dulut and Ashland to Milwaukee,
Chicago and points east and south, it is
not necessary to use iawbreakers. Let
your extemporaneous ~descantings and un-
premeditated expatiations have intelligi-
bility and veracious vivacity, without
rhodomontade or t~hrasonical bombast.
Sedulously avoid all ~polysyllabic profund-
ity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloqual YER
bosity and vandiloquent yapidity, shun
double entendres, prurient ioeosity and
pestiferous profanity, obscurent on appar-
ent. In other words, talk plainly, natu-
rally, ssnsibly, and truthfully say the Wis
consin Central Lines is THE route, and that
ends it.

Queer Names For Political Parties.

In 1874 there a a split in the Dem
ocratic party, the more radical and
progressive section OF New York call
ing itself the young Democracy or
"barnburners," while the other, of
conservative ideas, was known as
"hunkers." The former identified it.
self In 1S4S with Gree soilers," who
advocated the abolition of slavery of
wherever congress had the constitu-
tional right to do so-the non-interfer-
ence OF congress with the slave states,
but the prohibition OF slavery in the
territories. The name "barnburners"
is said to be derived from the story OF
a Dutchman who rid his barn OF rats
by burning them down, the "barn-
burners" advocating the extermina-
ton OF banks and corporations to
root out the abuses it was alleged to
have exercised. The name "hunker"
comes from a slang word chunk"
home, the original derivation being
the Dutch work s'honk." Another
derivation is from hunks or chunks,
the spoils OF Office, the party was pos
sessed of. This party was so called
from its adherence to homestead or
old principles. In 1913, when efforts
were made to reunite the Cass and Van
Buren, Democracy, the Cass hunkers
OF the national school OF politics were
the hards or hardshells, favoring
strongly the execution OF the fugitive
slave law; the softs, who wanted union
at any price. but also were anti-slav-
cry fat this time, included the rem
nants OF the Van Buren, and Adams
party OF 1913. The silver grays and
the woody heads were opposite fac
tons of the old wing party in New
York state. The latter derived their
sobriquet from their interest in the
negro and his liberation, being closely
offiliated with the abolition party OF
Garrison and Wendell Phillips. The
silver grays, the conservative wing OF
their party, nee withdrew from a
mass meeting because OF a disagree
able measure, and, as they did so, it
appears that some one OF the opposi-
ton marked their departure by an al
fusion to the gray heads of the OBJ
iectors-and the name stuck.-Balti-
more American.
