A CITY of Roof Gardens.

The majority of the houses in Buenos
Ayres have but one story, whose fat
roof serves all the purposes of Yankee
lawns and door yards. While the patios
are frequently utilized as dining and sit
ting rooms, it is the universal custom to
promenade in the cool of the day on the
housetops, to sit there at morning and
evening enjoying the refreshing breezes,
extensive views and varied panorama in
the street below. The children find
their favorite playground on the roof.
There the nurses bring their infant
charges, the seamstress her sewing and
the maid her mistress bedraggled fnery
to put in order again. The clothes are
dried and aired and ironed atop, and
during the ''heated term" of this dew
less latitude thousands bring up their
beds and sleep with starry sky for a
Observation-Disclosures Record.

A "National EoUQuet."

Among the many suggestions concern
ing national flower, one which comes
from a Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that e
shall not attempt to settle upon a M
tional flower, but let each state choose a
state flower, and have national bou-
quet." composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain Of the states have en-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nOsegay.
Massachusetts, people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower. The cedar sprig of
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute a needed tinge of green
to the nosegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend it's fragrance, and
the mountain laurel of Alabama would
crown it resplendently.
The goldenrod and the aster would bo-
long to the first state which should for
mally adopt them, and SO would the
graceful shooting star of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to ''go around"
A bouquet composed of all these state
flowers and tree branches would grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. 1t would say
"E pluribus unum" to the ordinary in
telligence more plainly than the Latin
motto does.-Youth's Companion.

The Book He Wanted.

Odd demands are made on the busy
editors time. A Scotch member of the
fraternity recently received letter, the
envelope bearing a request that the con-
tents should be handed to any bookseller
in Edinburgh. The letter ran: 1.-The
book that want is a courting book-a
book that will tell me how to talk to the
lass that love; book that will tell me
the words to say to her and the words tc
ask her when 1 be counting her is the
sort of book that want, no matter
how few or how little the words may
be."-Weekly Irish Times.

Nervous Excitability After Death.

Experiments made by M. d'Arsonval
with an instrument he calls myophone
prove, contrary to the older opinion,
that nervous excitability may exist for
many hours after death. The old test of
the muscle shortening is no doubt not
applicable long after death has departed,
but as the sound given out by the myo-
phone proves, the death of nerve is
much less rapid than has been hitherto
supposed, and nerve may act on mus
Gle in a state of electric excitability
without producing more than simple
molecular vibration.

A MEMORY OF LOIS.


The day when Lois walked with me
September skies were blue.
The wood bine on the wayside wall
Had found its autumn hue.
In gown OF changing green and rose,
With undersleeyes of white,
With skirt in loose and flowing folds
And bodice trim and tight.
Her low combed hair was just the shade
OF fallen chestnut burrs.
The checks of mellow astrakhans
Are not more ripe than hers.
1t seemed the mushrooms showed their
caps
To win her eyes OF brown,
And for one look into their depths
The orchard boughs bent down.
"A blossom of the early fall
That later days would chill
Dear girl, somewhere those eyes must
wear
A gleam of summer still.
The rank weeds choke the orchard way
Where once we went and came,
And MOSES make the marble gray
That long has borne her name.
But with such still September days
AsaLois walked with me,
She fits before my vision now,
A happy memory.

ministration Was directly responsible.
Lacey also read . memorial received by
Cultivate from w. A. Taylor, recent
democratic candidate for lieutenant
governor, who called for u con-
Gressional investigation of the ridiculous,
unlawful and unjust policy in-
augurated by the pension Office that had
resulted In the suspension OF 1.b0o pen
sioners in Ohio. In proceeding to de-
nounce the conduct of the commissioner
OF pensions Lacey spoke of the days IN
Venice when charges against citizens were
placed In lions mouth. Trial and con-
domination in secret followed. Those dark
and abhorrent methods pulled down Ven
ice. II ID now proposed to make every post
Office lions mouth, in which ovcry scoun-
drcl and villain can drop his venom and
spite. StraiRhtway a special agent Is dis
patched secretly 10 try and condemn an
honest veteran. The whole country should
rise up and rcbuke the administration.
He protested against employing the whole
force of the pension Office TO rummage
about for fraud instead of adjudicating
hundreds of thousands of claims that
awaited action.
Enloe, the old antagonist of cx.Com-
missioner Raun. declared that tho pension
department under this administration was
the greatest of the government. 1t was do
ing noble work. he was surprised at the
line OF defense set up on the other side.
In the eye of the law they, tho republi-
cansl, were the accompliccs of fraudulent
pensioners. Because the administration
was investigating and furnishing these
cases of fraud, how could honest men
parade this before the country rs
hostility TO deserving pensioners. Enloe
wanted every soldier in the country
entitled to a pension TO have IL and have
all he was entitled to, but he also wanted
every soldier dishonesty on the
roll or drawing more money than
he was entitled to taken from the roll.
He proceeded to discuss the result
of the investigation by the pension Office.
At Baltimore it was found that pension
attorney secured pension checks, held
them as payment for money due. and
charged fee for collecting them. At
Norfolk q regular mill for the manufac-
ture Of pension testimony was unearthed.
In New Mexico tho most astonishing
frauds were committed. 4 similar condi-
tion of affairs existed IN the Indian Terri
tory and in certain parts of Iowa. In con-
Guiding, Enloc said the time would como
when every honest union soldier and every
respecting citizen would applaud the PEN
sion policy of this administration.
Morse closed tho debate with a vigorous
assault on Cleveland and Locbrcn. At
the conclusion of his speech an agreement
was reached to close the debate after
three hours of further discussion on Mon
day. At ;:l0 p. m. the house adjourned.
