Tho Field Daisy.

The field daisy is an anomaly in the
American fora, says the Boston Her
aid. Formerly it was the most de-
spised and detested of all noxious
weeds. We say noxious, because it
was the adherence and often the de.
spair of the farmer. His name for it
was white weed, when, from Il certain
legend connected with it, it was not
something worse 1t was tenacious of
its place in the soil, when it once oh.
tanned a place there, beyond any other
nuisance of the grass field. Flowing
did little good. If it did not still stay
in the burrows it would find its way
out i'll the manure next year and up.
rear its saucy head more fresh and
blooming than ever.
The worse of it all was that it was
always beautiful. The aesthetic sense
is not greatly developed in the average
farmer, and when it conflicts with his
profits 1T is never anywhere. He could
not see its beauties, and in earlier DAYS
almost everyone else was with him.
But of late the beauty of the daisy has
been too much for the sense of utility.
1t has become fashionable flower
Its plenty no longer precludes it from
this distinction. Maidens 20 into
ecstasies over it, rs Oscar Wilde, not
long since, bowed down in alteration
to the sunhower. While it il but the
worst of weeds in one quarter it is
enshrined in another. Here, indeed.
Is nm anomaly, and it seems in " fair
way to be continued.
Fashion has put it's stamp on the
flower to stay, while those to whom it
is n nuisance will still regard it only
ms to The grass field whit the cankrr
worm or caterpillar is to the orchard.
1t is pity that this pestiferols wor,
should all be done with faco of such
smiling beauty.

IT appears from the evidence given
In the Schaffner bank failure case at
Chicago that the firm was licensed to
do brokerage business. 1t also ap-
pears that as soon as 1t opened for
business the flrm began to take de.
posits of money. And 1t still further
appears that Schaffner put IS, 900 int
the bank department Of his business,
while his partner put In nothing.
Upon this capital the bankers secured
nearly 81, 900, 900 of deposits. This
business exploit Is remarkable for two
reasons. No one knew or assumed
to know that Schaffner had any per-
'onal capital; nevertheless his firm
secured heavy deposits. Another
thing: The State Government does
not provide safeguards to secure the
public against financial adventures
of this sort. 1t is needless to say
that If the true condition of this 80.
called bank had been known from the
first 1t would not have been possible
for the concern to wreck the fortunes
OF some and impair the prosperity of
Others.

THE enterprise and determination
which have characterized Lieut..
Peary in undertaking another arctic
voyage command our admiration, but
1t IS impossible to approve his judg.
ment. 1t is hardly within the range
Of possibilities that he will be able
to carry out his design of reaching
the North Pole by an overland trip
and planting the stars and stripes
thereon. But even if he should, of
what service will the exploit be to
humanity? 1t will not render the
trip any easier for others to take, or
furnish any good and sufficient reason
why they should take it If 1t is easier.
There is not the slightest probability
that trade will be opened up with the
extreme north, or that any real good
will come to science, to art, or to in.
dustry from any results which Lieut.
Peary may secure. This being so, the
expedition is foolhardy one, and nc
amount OF courage or daring or en-.
thusiasm on the part Of that explorer
or his estimable wife can prevent its
being so regarded by those who look
the plain facts in the face.

that its use in the mechanical arts is

of white metal, out Of which plutcl
