again nominated for Congress in the

convention of 1898, which renomi-
mated Mr.. Cleveland, when Senator
German aud Henry Watterson in the
Committee on Resolutions wrangled
a whole day as to the tariff declara-

Neal, the Ohio member Of the COM

ments together and framed the plank
as it was accepted by the committee

was member Of the Platform Com
mittee Of the Chicago convention and
proposed the amendment which was
finally adopted as the tariff policy Of
the party upon which to make the
campaign.

Why Flowers Sleep.

Why should flowers sleep? asks Sir
John Lubbock in ''The Beauties of
Nature and the Wonders of the
World We Live in" Why should
some flowers do SO and not others?
Moreover, different flowers keep DIFF.

some parts ara said to regulate their
dinner time by it. Other flowers, on
the contrary, open in the evening.
Now it is obvious that flowers
which are fertilized by night-fIyinp
insects would derive no advantage
from being open by day; and on the
other hand, that those which are fer
tilted by bees would gain nothing
by being open at night. Nay, II
would be distinct disadvantage, be
cause 1t would render them liable to
be robbed Of their honey and pollen
by insects which are not capable OF
fertilizing them. l have ventured
to suggest. then. that the closing OF
the flowers may have reference to the
habits OF the insects, and it may be
observed also in support of this that
wind-rertilized flowers do not sleep;
and that many OF those flowers which
attract insists by smell open and
emit their scant at particular hours:

Two or three years ago an Austrian
civil engineer was travelling In Cey-
Ion. Near Pasadena one of the large
cities, was . botanical garden, which
is considered one Of the finest in the
world. One afternoon the engineer
strOlled around the gardens admirinx
the tropical plants and examining
the curious forms of vegetable life
with which the garden abounded. At
length he became very tired, and the
day being warm, even for Ceylon, he
lay down and was soon fast asleep.
What happened is best told in his
own words:

Russians as Silk Producers.

Paternalism. as applied to the silk
industry, and particularly to sericul-
ture in Russia, cannot be described
as a pronounced success The Gov
eminent has spent more money for
the furtherance of the silk Industry
in the Caucasus than for any other
industrial purpose, yet despite the
fact that the country has whole
forests of mulberry trees eminently
suited for feeding silk worms, and de-
spite the decidedly favorable CLIMATIC
conditions, the estimated production
of silk in Transcaucasia to-day is but
SO, 900 pools, against 80, 900 pools in
1855, the value being but 5000, 900
roubles, and leaving more than double
the value still to be imported. It Is
alleged that considerable improve
ment has been made in reeline spin
ming, and twisting-new foreign ma.

exceedingly low wages, the imports
are increasing, while the exports are
decreasing.

The "GatOred Mule"

''Did you ever hear Of a gatored
mule?'" asked Mr. William G.
Thompson of New York, who is on
his way home, after year spent in
Florida for his health.
"A gatored mule as he is called
in Florida, is one of that stubborn
race which has been driven partially
insane from an alligator fright In
fact, while a mule will stOlidly wait
to be thrown off a railroad by a loco
motive before he moves, he goes into
wild state OF terror at a single
glimpse of Saurian monster.
'"rhere are hundreds of Katored
mules in Florida To tell the truth,
l helped to gator one myself. How
did it happen?
swell, I had been staying at Oca-
la some weeks, and finally agreed,
with several friends, to 90 hunting
in the South. About twenty miles
from town we located upon small
stream Astounding in game. After
pitching camp l went for walk, and
before lone found gator hole )
From the strong, musty odor which
issued from it, knew that the owner
was at home.
calling my companions, I decided
to capture him. We rammed q long
pole into the burrow several times.
Finally we heard snap like the re
port of gun, and the pole remained
fast The gator had seized it. We
tried vainly to pull him out. Then
some one suggested that we try our
camp mule. We shouted. The mule
was led down to the hole, a chain
fastened to the pole, and then the
frightened animal was started.
There was creaking of chains, q
roar, and the alligator, fully seven
feet in length, came out with rush
as the mule started on wild run for
the road. The saurian's teeth were
sunken so deeply into the wood that
he could not release himself. and
away went the mule, pole and all.
The alligator spun around, Kissing
like steam engine. but he held on,
while the mule, thinking himself
pursued, snorted and ran. We fol-
lowed. into the streets of Oscala few
the mule and his queer load. Com
pletely exhausted, he was stopped by
party in front of the postOffice.
The gator was dead. We skinned
and stuffed him. The mule recovered,
but the sight of swamp now throws
him into a perfect frenzy of terror. "

THREE MILLION BACHELORS.
That's What the Census Shows, and Its
Time Some Repented.

That's What the Census Shows, and It's
Time Some Repented.
According to the last census re.
ports, there are over 3, 900, 900 bach
elOrs in the United States-by which
Is meant there are 5000, 900 men over
thirty years old who have never been
married, says the Boston Globe.
This fact, OF course, furnishes a
very handy text for all sorts of COM
ment and suggestion. Now and then
the scheme is advocated of making
neglect OF matrimony statutory Of
tense, either by way of tax discrimi-
nation in favor Of married parties or
otherwise.
In earlier times marriage was com.
pulsory. The great world conquerors
wanted material for their armies, and
SO heavy penalties were laid on a neg
lect to marry.
One interesting question which the
census figures do not answer is this:
"How many of these 5000, 900 bach
elors are single from choice rather
than necessity"
The factors affecting the ability to
support a wife have been very much
changed under the newer industrial
aid commercial condition. So great
has become the competition for places
among the higher pursuits, and SO
largely have women come to fill DO
eitiOns once exclusively occupied by
men, that the bureaus of industrial
statistics show show larger and
larger percentage of men in these
pursuits whose incomes. from their
point of view, will not permit them
to marry.
1t is easy to scold the young men
in this matter-quite as easy as to
find fault with the young women who
are looking out for husbands with
plenty of ready money. But there is
nothing in the published census fig
ures regarding the average earnings
of certain classes of workers which at
all warrants the conclusion that the
majority of these 5000, 900 unmar-
ried men remain single through will
fulness rather than what they deem
necessity.

A Scene from Real Life.

A small child was walking on
Morgan street recently. She carried
a pitcher of milk and she wore a hat
with a trimming Of daisies
A puff Of wind lifted Der hat from
her head and rolled it into the street
in the path of huge team drawing
coal wagon.
The child looked apprehensively at
the horses as the hat lightly bowled
directly under their hoofs. At that
moment the grimy teamster pulled
up the animals and the hat nestled
down between their fore feet
The child started forward, and
then. afraid of the horses, retreated.
So the teamster carefully backed,
the horses lifting their hoofs, each as
big as the hat, until they were clear
of it.
Then the child ran out and got hel
hat, and the team slowly jolted down

Although good listener, says an

whether it be in country house or
at home, il the opportunity Offers the
wants and wishes of her proteges are
always put forward, and the result is
generally check or promise of help.
But it must not be supposed that she
accepts other peoples facts and f1g-
ures. On the contrary, she makes
her own inquiries and marshals them
in a way that would do credit to a
f1nancier or suateman.
Order and regularity are with her
principles of life-never is anything
out Of place, never is an opportunity
missed. There is time for getting

AN UNUSUALLY LIVELY CHOIR.

Discord Among the Singers Put tho Par
SON to Flight.
Perhaps II the Rev. Lamb Agnus
of Weeping Canon, N. NJ, knew as
much about church choirs as he does
now he would not have attempted to
start male choir at that place. IL
the reports Of the Weeping Canon
experiment are correct Mr.. Agnus
had but recently left q theological
school aud had more enthusiasm than
PRACTICAL knowledge, but there can
be no doubt that his intentions
were the best 1t was said many
times In Weeping Canon that the
clergyman ''meant we'll but had no
Sabe.'" At all events. according to
the generally credited accounts of the
affair, as given in the B. ston Adver-
tiser, Mr.. Agnus set about forming i
mae choir soon after his arrival in
Weeping Canon.
At his personal and urgent solic Ia
ton about every cowboy and miner
In that part Ut Sierra County who
could sing, or who thought he could
sing, was taken into the choir on
a source OF many sleepless night to
Mr. Agnus, but matters finally pro.
crossed to such stage that it was
announced that concert would be
given by the choir on an evening in
the early part of June. 1t was gen.
gally supposed that an influential and
popular individual who was known as
'Chloride Jack" would be given the
leading part because of his remark
ably powerful If not particularly
sweet voice. but Weeping Canon was
startled by the announcement that u
young ranchman, OmpiliO Peraltes,
was to be the star of the evening. 1t
was noticed that Chloride" was alb
sent from the rehearsals after that,
and many Of the older and wiser
m snlbers of the choir at once resigned
from the organization.
The concert was held on the even
ing as announced, but what the
Weeping Canon Coyote the local
weekly, described as an unfortunate
misunderstanding" served to shorten
the program noticeably After the
choir had sung two athens, which
were vigorously applauded. Senior

charged at the soloist. As the buck

more seriously injured than Senior
