"FTowers preach to us II we will hear"
Christian G. Rosett
The miscr world may count its coin in glory
Above its million graves,
And trumpetlipped ambition tell the story
OF its thrice-cheated slaves;
But he hath won the right to human praises,
Who from the conquered sod,
A lovely flower, fair new blossom raises
To gladden. man and God.
For souls that have no prayers to send ID
Heaven
These Eden children speak.
The dull prosaic OF the world they leaven.
These sermons Of the week.
For wherever a flower is, God has set a
ladder
That reaches to the skies,
And souls ascending crush the poison adder
That meath its beauty lies
And who can walk among the smiling flowers
And not bless him who sends
So kindly to this prison-houSe Of ours
These ever welcome friends!
Up from the grave they spring. q fair con-
nectior
Between our hearts and Heaven,
A sweet remembrance OF tho resurrection,
And Christlife freely given
God hears tho whispers Of tie flowers sur.
rounding
The dear and cof1ned dead;
The hearts unspoNen supplication sounding
From wrcaths at foot and head
And not the music of the organ pealing
The swelling marriage song
Hath melody more sweet than dowersscent
stealing
The bridal path along.
The festive board meath every dainty groan.

May please the human sense
But luxury is richer for the toninS
OF fowery innocence.
Companions they for sad or Joyous hours
For youth or silvcrcd age,
Fair nature hath no choicer gifts than flowers,
Her book no fairer page.

Almost every MEDIEVAL monarch
claimed the whole or part of the do
minions of almost every other, and in
sisted on inserting his claim in his list
of official titles In treaties and all of
fetal documents The whole list was re-
ligiouslv copied, and as it often hap
pened that the two negotiating mon
archs had some of the titles, it became
usual to insert clause in the list, nom
prRjudicando. in order to indicate that,
no matter how absurd, inappropriate
or untrue were the titles, they were
understood TO be inserted because they
pleased the monarch who claimed
them, that they did not confer valid
claim. and so no harm was likely to re-
suit from their use.
To Cook Oatmeal.
Oatmeal. Indian meal and hominy all
require two things for perfection:
Plenty of water when put on to boil
and a long time for boiling. Have
about two quarts of boiling water in
large stew-pan and into it stir a cup
full of oatmeal. which has been wet
with cold water. Boil one hour, stir
ring often. and then add half spoon
full of salt. and boil an hour longer.
If it should get too stiff add more boil
ing water. or if too thin boil little
longer You caEno. boil too much
The only trouble in cooking oatmeal
is that it takes long time. but surely
this should not stand in the way when
it is so much better for having the
extra time. If there is not an abund-
ance Of water at first, the oatmeal will
not be very good. no matter how much
may be added during the cooking.
Cracked wheat is cooked in the same
way.-N. y. Ledger.

Revolutionary Uniforms.

During the revolution the most elab-
crate of uniforms were designed for
the American officers, and the men
were ordered to wear green shirts, If
they could be procured" As matter
of fact very few uniforms We're worn,
everybody wore what he happened to
have and the navy was clothed in mot
ley array. The native born American
seamen, most of them, wore the can
vas petticoat, and they all wore the
hair in braid down the back, waxing
it to make it curl up at the end. AS
many of the seamen were foreigners
the costumes Of all nations were dis
played on many ships. 1t was not I'M
til 1900 that there is a record of crew
in white duck uniforms.

GRADUATED TAXATION.

Apply Its Principles to Inordinate Incomes
and Land Held for Speculative Pur-
poses.
In no way is the vice of the present
condition made more apparent than by
the startling discrepancies between
the inordinate wealth and vast incomes
of few men and the dire poverty OF
most Americans.
By neither extreme wealth nor grea t
poverty is health shown in the body
polite, and means must be found to a
more Just distribution of the results of
toll and enterprise, or the American
nation must fall from her high position
and the people lose all freedom.
One means to such distribution is
the political power of taxation, applied
not only to provision for support OF
government, but also to provide work
for the unemployed. who cannot be
left to starve, and whom to feed by
aims, clothe by donations and house as
paupers, is neither just, humane nor
expedient.
Already about four million men
nearly third of the population-are
without work whereby to earn food.
They and their families must be re-
garded and it is essential that these
me be put to work.
Until means are provided it is idle tc
suggest that they be employed on pub
lie works
Without money available. super
visors or other officials can do moth
ing.
The real question is, ''how shall
money be raised for carrying on such
public works as will furnish the de
sired employment and improve the
country"
The natural and only answer is, "by
taxation
But to the average citizen, in these
hard times, further taxation is destruc
ton; loss of his property and the fore
ing of him also into the ranks of the
unemployed.
Evidently he can stand no more tax
alton than that under which he already
staggers-
We must mount step higher, on tht
ladder of wealth to financial plane
above the average, and SO adjust taxa
ton to raise the needed funds for the
extraordinary conditions now existing
that the already overburdened men O
small means shall not be called on fol
contributions which they cannot make
Graduated taxation is, logically. the
only solution of the problem, and such
taxation is just, as well as expedient-
All should contribute-in this emer
gency, and perhaps always-accordins
/, to their meanA
First in order. the fund most proper
~ to be drawn on is an income abnor
malsy large.
Where in reason and propriety per
son cannot expend his income, it esl

Explosion on a steam,b,p.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov "A tremend-
Gus explosion of coal gas occurred on
the steam collier San Manteos Sunday
night while bound from Como for San
Francisco. She carried 4.20o tons of
coal, consigned to the Southern Pa
cific- The explosion was in the for
ward hold and drove the deck plates
in the shape of an arch, feet above
the deck level in the center. The
plates were badly shattered After
the explosion the steamer put in at
Esquimalt, where a survey will be held.
Oscar Anderson, sailor, was thrown
overheard by the force of the explo-
sion, but was saved. James Anderson,
another sailor, was badly wounded in
the hand A similar accident happened
to the steamer Barracuda a few
months ago.
