THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
of 1895 will probably be organized on new
lines. Although action ON this important
subject was postponed ut Louisville a week
ago, the Republican leaders of the north
are all in favor of a change from the old
system Of electing delegates. 1t is pro-
posed to make the Republican vote cast at
the preceding election the basis Of repre-
sentation in the convention. Each con-
gressional district will be entitled to one
delegate, but a district to be entitled to
two delegates must poll in the neighbor-
hood Of 1900 Republican votes. IL this
new rule is put In force it will cut down
the representatives of the southern states
nearly 40 per cent. Naturally the south
ern Renublicons are onnosino the cban1a
as it will reduce their importance in Re-
publican councils. There seems to be some
merit in the new idea.

An Idea.

Last Christmas tho superintendent Of
q Sunday school was presented with a
beautiful silver service as O token Of the
appreciation by the members Of the
school Of his faithful performance of the
duties Of that Office for 80 years.
The presentation took p~laceat theclose
of the regular exercises, and the pastor,
coming forward with the box containing
the service, made a nice little speech.
The superintendent was 80 surprised
when it was handed to him that his eyes
filed with tears. and his voice choked up
so that he couldn't utter . word.
A little boy 8 years old, on going
home, was asked by his father, "Well,

or course. we have always had the daft
fodil an d other common varieties OF the
narcissus with us, and people of good
taste have appreciated the modest little
flower at its WORTH. But the daffodil has
never been fashionable, If it has not been
actually des pissed; IL has bloomed in old
gardens, and. AS ole of the early bios
SONS Of uncertain spring, the yellow
flow er OF the Darcissus psuedo-narcissus
has been welcome and worth the gar
dener's while TO cultivate.
But now there Is a genuine boom in
dsffodils in London, and, as fashion trav-
els westward, the overcultivated chrys-
anthemum will probably soon be dis
placed In the b~utlOnhole of the fastidious

In the elaborate floral decoration of
the dinner table the yellow dallodil has
lately been used here. but not to the ex-
clusion OF any other available flower.
The fad has mo- reached us vet in its full
force. But IL is sure to come.
Of course, the narcissus will be cult

no longer be able to recognize its rela-

Many new and pretentious varieties of

been bestowed upon them. The daffodii

Saws the Boston Transcript: "Few
oeooraphies mention the district in the
South known as the poor Mans Belt. ,
1t is tract of country generally very
sardy and producing little timber save
the long leafed pine. 1t begins not far
south of Richmond, Va, and extends
along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts into
Texas. Its length is not far from $500
miles. while it is from 50 to 150 miles
in width. The soil is poor, but the
forests produce not only lumber In
abundance, but also large quantities OF
pitch, tar and turpentine. 1t got bad
name during anti bellum days because
no cotton was raised in it, but, since the
South is beginning to look elsewhere
than to the cotton field for its wealth,
the Poor Mans Belt promises to be-
come one of the richest parts of the

Novel Climbing Device.

A French inventor has devised novel
and practical arrangement for use by
tiremen and Others to facilitate rope
climbing, and, at the same time, to per-
nit the climber to have free use of his
hands. The apparatus consists of two
boards joined by hinge, n hole passing
through both the hinge aud the boards,
and the extremities of the latter are pro-
vided with straps, which eau be fastened
to the feet of the man using the appara-
tus. The method of climbing involved
in this arrangement is simple. When
the feet attached to the boards are lifted
the rope is free, but the moment the feet
are pressed down on the two boards the
rope is firmly grlppea. 1t is only neces-
sary, therefore, to lift the body with
both hands as far as possible, aad it can
then be held by the hinged clamps until
another lift is made. By the use of a
belt to hold the body c'ose to the rope
the hands may be left free for work. -

Millions of Quail.

line of march for the Mohawk Valley in
Yuma County. The children of Israel
were at one time fed by the number of
quails that tiockcd around them and
mama from heaven. If they were in
Mohawk Valley to-day they could do
equally as well. The quail literally
cover the ground, and can be caught by
hand. Those who are proiting by catch
ing them and shipping to San Francisco
catch more than they can bag. Hun.
dreds of dozens are shipped daily by ex-
press. They have used up all the lum-
Der for boxes and have about used all
the barley sacks in the county shipping
them in that manner. The children
make from seven to twenty dollars day
catching them, and their numbers do
not seem to diminish. Similar reports
of their numbers come from Aqua Cali
ente and Gia Bend, and their slaughter
goes daily along. You fun-loving
sportsmeu, the world over, if you want
to have genuine good time shooting
quail now is the time to get pleasure.
There are millions upon millions of
them, and no let up to their numbers.

is no telling what Il Yuma climate will

A Great PhilantllrOpist.

The new Peabody Institute, recently
dedicated at Danvers, Mass, was neces
sarily built of wood, but as long as it
stands 1t will be very worthy memorial
of the gift of the philanthropist to his
native town. George Peabody was born
In pauvers, February 18th, 1898, and
died in London, November 4th, 1859.
In 1856 he donated SO, 900 for an ihsti-
tutc in his native town, and in 1866 he
endowed it with $4,000, but unfor-
tunatey the original structure was
burned in 1890.
Th, present structure cost but S2S, 600.
The architecture is colonial, and the
dimensions are fifty-two feet in width
and ninety-two feet long. 1t stands in
beautiful park, which is bordered by
Sylvan and Pond streets and Peabody
avenue, and is finished in fine woods,
with the usual rooms of such building,
as library, main hall, etc. The latter has
seating capacity of HOO, with large
stage fitted UP with scenery for plain
theatricals.
The hbrarI has shelves for 30, 600
volumes, aud he reading room adjacent
is very cozy and pleasant place. In
one room han the portrait, six by rine
feet, of Mr.. Psabody, which was saved
with great difficulty when the original
building was burned. Its cost was
$500. The 4ructure is designed for
library, museuh h, social hall and general
gathering pla4 for the Danversites.
