The Fertilization of willows.

Some singular exceptions are found to
rules generally deemed absolute, and re-
markable ones have recently been noted
in connection with theories recently
established i'll regard to the relations
between flowers and insects. Flowers
have to be fertilized by pollen before
they can be productive, Most flowers
have stamens or pollen bearing organs
and pistils, the reproductive organs, in
the same flower, but these separate or
gans maturing at different times the
wind or insects are agents for carrying
she fertilizing pollen to other flowers
than those which bear it. This is known
as cross fertilization.
Those flowers only which require the
aid Of insects have color or fragrance.
This is said to be an arrangement for at
tracing insects and insuring cross fer
tilization by their aid. But the exception
comes in the case Of willows which are
in bloom in early spring and often COM
monty knowh as pussy cats" Though
in the class fortified by the wind, they
have bright golden color and delight
full Fragrance, and the philosophers are
at loss to understand what this excep.
ton means.--Philadelp Times.

1t will be very difficult for M. Carnot
to manage constituent clements of the
force to be controlled, and he certainly
is not managing them successfully now.
They are growing impatient of the me-
diocre men he favors. perhaps little
ashamed of them, and there is a dispo-
sition in consequence to fasten response
bility on him personally in a manner
quite new. If hepersists in his plan, we
may see surprises" as M. de Blowitz
recently said. which will tax to the ut
most the presidents popularity and fur
nish a final test Of n character still ex-
ceedingly obscure.
NJ. Carnot has rcigned for six years
and is not well known yet. And when
that happens in such | lace as Paris to
a man i'll such position there are usual
ly only two explanations of the fact that
are worth consideration. Either the
character is abnormally reserved-in
fact, Il deliberately concealed one, very
rare occurrence III France. where silence
is resentcd--Or there is no particular
character to be detected by observation.
Nobody is quite so hard to read as a man
in high place who has nothing in him,
and that, after all, may be the eXplana-
ton of President Carnot. London Spec

Young Men In Politics.

Mr.. Chauncey NJ. Depew has written
for Donahoe's Magazine an article in an
swer to the question, "Should young
men go into politics." Mr.. Depew an
swers no-that is. he strongly advises
young men not to adopt politics as Ca
recr.
But this answer is based upon present
conditions-upon the low estate in which
we find American politics today. How
the tone of public life is to be raised m-
less young men of strong and conscien-
tious patl otism and unselfshness enter
it and strive to improve it he does not
tell us.
Taking things rs they are, however,
this passage from Mr.. Depew's article is
admirable:
Every young man should be inter
ested in politics and take as active a
part in the political affairs of his neigh
borhood as the time at his disposal from
his business will permit. He should be.
long to some party and understand its
principles. He should attend its eau
cuses and do such party service as he
can. He should never fail to vote or
election day: when there are movements
on foot for reforms necessitated by cor
ruption or to put bad men out Of Office,
he should be on hand and ready to fight
for the redemption Of his city, town or
state "

Moses and Hig Horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly not,
but if you have ever had the pleasure of
examining > copy Of Michael Angeles
great picture of The Lawgiver" you
have wondered why the great painter
surmounted the patriarchal face, gray
beard and becoming priestly gown wit
pair Of horns much resembling those
Of a 2-year-old animal of the bovine
tribe. The reason is this: Jerome's BIZ
BILE, the Latin Vulgate, tells that when
Moses came down from the mountain
top his face was radiant" (rayed) with
the great light shining from his pure
soul In the Greek Septuagint the trans
lation said it was "cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later ver-
sion in making his Latin Vulgate and
translated "cornua" as "cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture accordingly.-Philadelp

PewnshOps For the Poor.

There will soon be "a strong rival to all
the professional "uncles" in this city.
The Peoples Bank association, newly
formed organization for rescuing the
poor from the clutches of grasping pawn
brokers, promises to open at least one
paw.ishop in New York within a few
months.
Alfred Bishop Mason, a member of the
firm Of Sprague, Duncan g. Hutchinson,
limited, of 15 Wall street and trustee
of the Charity Organization society, has
been the chief mover in forming the Peo-
ple's Bank association. He promises to
open the main Office of the concern with
in few weeks at furthest. Then pawn
shop branch will be initiated in some
part of the city where tenements and
lovcrty are plentiful. The chief object
will be to lend money at low rate of
interest on clothing and household goods.
I'VE intend to charge only per cent
per month interest" said promoter Of
the scheme to me. Ordinary pawn
brokers charge 3 per cent for the first
month and per cent month for all after
that. Our scheme will be to charge as
little as possible for the accommodation.
Our capital will be 100000. A limited
number of shares will be sold at $40
each, with the distinct understanding
that dividends shall never exceed per
cent IL year, all profits above that being
added to the general fund for extending
the peoples banks. New York Herald.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF,

How a Married Man Passed Very Unhap.
~ and Improbable Day.
They had been married years and years,
yet never had he gone away from the
breakfast table in the morning without
goodby kiss until a friend came to visit
them-one Of those cynical, time soured
bachelors who find fault with everybody
and everything and decide for them
selves that the whole scheme of creation
is wrong.
The friend did not say anything at the
time. although the kiss Jared on his
sense Of the proprieties, but he waited
until he had his host by the ear, so to
speak, then he said:
"You seem to keep the honeymoon
pretty well, George. Must be deuced
bore, too, when the romance is over"
Then good, weak George began to get
wabbly in his mind and had silly fear
that his friend was making fun of him.
"Yes," he said as he lighted cigar,
lit is rather a bore, don't you know, but
the little woman expects it."
II dare say" resumed the friend. "but
wouldn't coddle her any more if were
you. It's too-too domestic. you see. for
this age. Makes man seem spoony and
weak"
"Yes, I've thought so myself. Guess
I'll turn over q new leaf with the little
woman"
The little woman, who had more sense
in her least finger than George had in
his whole body. was greatly surprised
when her husband threw his breakfast
napkin on his plate, rose in haste and
with cackled TIA ia, dear" ran off
without the customary salute. But she
didn't say anything and bide1 her time
1t came sooner than was expected.
George went home at night without
the friend, who had returned whence he
came. AT dinner George WIS silent and
morosc, and the little woman asked
Anything gone wrong today"
Yes. Everything. Lost SO out of
my vest pocket
Too bad, but it might have been
worse
Then mislaid some valuable papers
that / carried i'll the inside pocket of lly
coat-it's just been one of my worrying
days, don't You know"
George said the little woman in a
calm, sweet voice, "don'tyou think it all
happened because You went away with
out a goodby kiss: I've had IL worrying
day, too. ami laid it all to that"
by Jove, little woman, believe you re
right. Queer. but really believe there's
something il it,
And here is the money. You dropped
it on the hall floor in your hurry. And
the papers are probably in your other
coat-you know You changed this morn
ing"
That settles ii, little woman" and
George gave her the kiss he had omitted
in the morning with interest, and if the
friend could have seen it he would have
gnashed his teeth--but he didn't.-De-

The absence Of Queen Victoria in Flor.

In the London newspapers the migrate
full declaration Of man employed as
carter on her Windsor private estate.
The man was defendant in a civil action
involving the payment Of money and
pleaded poverty. The queen, he said,
paid no better than other people, and her
people had to work harder. His wages
were 10 shillings week and lodgings
found, which did not leave him much to
spare after feeding himself
"Ah," said the magistrate trying the
case, "you should think of the honor"
The defendant sturdily replied, to the
amazement of the court, that there
wasn't much honor to be got out of 10
shillings week.
1t would seem from this case that the
queen pays her farm laborers and work.
men generally on her private estate from
2 to shillings week less than the aver
age wages in the district, which is not at
all surprising to those who know her
frugal, not to say parsimonious mind.
She would not in any case read the in
dignant comments of the radical press,
because she reads only the Tory Times,
Morning Post and Wing Daily Telegraph
when at home, and not one of these
would venture to hurt her feelings by
referring to such matter. During her
stay abroad she sees only The Times,
which of course is absolutely safe read

The unexpected defeat of London
rowing club eight on the Seine last au-
tumn by French crew has put fresh
spirits into Gallo oarsmen, and as a con-
sequence we shall in all probability see
some French crews at Henley regatta
this year. The Bas Seine Rowing club
of Paris will enter crews for the grand
challenge cup (eights), Stewards chal-
lenge cup fours), and the silver goblets
(pairs). M. Boudin of the same club
will probably start in the diamond
sculls. A Canadian sculler has also sent
in an entry for the last named event, SO
that the regatta, which is fixed for the
first Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
in July, promises this year to be par.
ticularly interesting. No doubt the Eng
lish clubs will do their best to atone for
the disaster on the Seine last October

The Biggest Fresh Water Cargo.

The new steamer Selwyn Eddy, the
largest freight carrier in the world float
ing on fresh water, was loaded recently
for her initial trip. She carries the larg-
est cargo of wheat ever shipped on the
lakes. A close estimate places her exact
capacity at 15O,O 900 bushels or about 3d.
600 bushels more than the largest cargo
ever carried on the lakes.
An ordinary freight Car carries about
500 bushels of wheat, and the Selwyn

about two miles long. Twelve engines
would be required to draw such train

A Plague of Butterflies.

Millions of butterflies are fitting about
the Arkansas valley, and it is feared
that they will do great damage to fruit.
The butterfly itself is harmless, but it
deposits eggs in the blossoms which,
when hatched, produce worms that feed
upon the developed fruit. Fruit grow
ers, to protect themselves from the dire
results that follow the visits Of these
beautiful pests, resort to spraying their
fruit, which effectually destroys the egg
germs.-Kansas City Times.

The Death of Washington Causes Great
Grief.
SAY IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Loyalty of Students, Immediate Friends
of the Deceased, Something W"r-
thy of Emulation.

thy of Emulation.
There is nothing like loyalty. even if it
is somewhat belated
THE GLOBE, which prints the news,
was the first to announce the death of
George Washington, and by reason of
the fact that the electric cars do not yet
run to Trinity, Trinity folks did not hear
of the sad death until late yesterday
evening. Accordingly they are wildly
and vociferously celebrating the event
to-day.
AS we have before stated, Mr.. Wash
ington is dead.
The Trinity folks are to be cotgratu-
lated upon their expressed appreciation
of loyalty and whatever else they saw in
sight.
With Colonel Albright and Colonel
Wash Duke continuing the celebration
for a week and over, we had concluded
that it was time to call for a halter and
hang other imitators and impostors
| 1t must have been a sublime spectacle
to witness a crowd of gaunt, hungry and
half-starved students celebrating the birth
of Washington on the Gath of February
Indeed, it is to be regretted that Mr.
Washington did not live until the 24th OF
February.
We make bold to say that Mayor An
gier and the city council, and we speak
with authority, were both criminally
negligent when they failed to proclaim
| that Washington's birthday would run
through the entire week.
The fact of the business is, a man like
Washington should have an entire week
for his birthday, in view of the fact that
the students of Trinity college propose
to celebrate it.
|
We again boldly repeat that Mr.
Washington is dead. Uncle Wash
Duke says that he died after having been
seized with an attack of tuberculosis
while Colonel Albright maintains that
he died while wildly yet willingly fight
ing a case of measles.
However this may be THE GLOBE
herewith and hereby endorses the brain
workers of Trinity college, who some
d ~ expect a job for their wonderful anG
versatile exposition of distinguished
gentleman who died and who was buried
over hundred years ago.
