cisco man, who has come to the con cluslon that 1t Is not necessary that there should be as many unemployed people as there were before the new Democratic prosperity shone upon the land, He points out that one acre of land can be made to feed bountifully more than five adult persons, Five per sons working three hours a day on an acre can bring it to this production, Suppose. then, he says, every county in the State had farm upon which anyone might go to earn temporary living, On 100 acres BOO persons could make all they could eat. San Francis co ought to have 1000 acres; the other counties should have from 100 up to, say 500. according to population. This farm should not in any sense be a 'poor farm" There should be no tincture of charity connected with 1t. Any man with or without money should feel at liberty to go there while temporarily out of work. Let the young man who has saved few hundred dollars feel that he can go there, deposit his money in the safe, and go to work, earning his living instead of spending his saw ings. Let it be emphatically home for those temporarily out of work-nothing more. Within a few years these farms would be highly improved and each year would see added fertility to the soil. Here would be an opportunity offered to make an independent 1iv- ing-a living with no shadow of charity in it. After the opportunity shall thus be given, if any man shall still insist on making a nuisance of himself by being idle, put him in the chain gang and make him break rock on the roads, and feed him on meal and water-but first give the opportunity. We have no right to condemn any man-no right to call anyone a tramp or any other hard name-until We have given that man an opportunity to earn an honest liv- ing.
 There is good sense and real philan- thropy in this plan. It would be more trophy in this plan. It would be more profitable for society to give the un- employed chance to work than it is to make and perpetuate paupers by injudicious and minimizing charity.

conducted, Yet this is the result It Is clear that their peculiar liyeliness in the Chamber, their tactics of obsruc- ton and vituperation, and their endeav- or to arouse hatred between the various classes Of society have begun to fall as alluring qualities in the absence of any thing positive to be set to their credit. At all events. it Is obvious that, where local interests predominate. as they do in departmental elections, the 'communi- ty hesitates to intrust It's affairs to such noisy and impractical theorists, M, Jules Guesde at Roubaix let loose the dogs of war in a campaign which was expected to have a great effect, but his candidate Is roundly beaten.

cream guipure insertion appliqued to the tulle in a looped garland around the hem, and in butterflies on the remain der. The skirt has a. godet foundation of black silk and the tulle is draped blouse fashion over the fitted bodice lining. In the center of the back and front there is a wide boxpleat, and the rest of the tulle is rather full at the sides of each. The draped stock collar, the tabs over the shoulders and the belt are white satin, or may be of white wash silk.
 The use of fine and ruff1ed lawn has extended to the skirt and some new models are made to fall open in front over "a petticoat of f1ounced lawn. A voluminous Louis XVI beruff1ed fichu of the same lawn completes a gown that except for the large sleeves would be characteristic of the close shouldered period. Certain it is that if Iooseness of bodice and befrillment of skirt prevail there will be change in sleeves. For fashion has, after all, her idea of pro- portion, and she never dictates the swelling of more than one feature of a gown at a. time. FLORETTE.

The American V nter-LiIx.

The magnificent Victoria Regia, or American water-lily, known better as the Amazon or Royal lily, has it's home, as the name indicates, in the Amazon river. It has been called by botanists and it is said that when the student Haenke first saw it, ''he fell upon his knees in a transport of admiration '' The leaves, measuring sometimes six feet in diameter, are of a beautiful, shining green, with raised margin Cs they float upon the water of from three to five inches, the under part of which

Is oolored deep crimson, Their rapid growth Is phenomenal in the plant world and 1t is said that they often in- crease eight inches in diameter i'm a single day, The network is also espa- eially worth noticing, and from it's care ful designing Sir Joseph Paxton first conceived the perfection of arohltectur- al structure, which he sets forth in the Crystal Palace, at London, and which has been copied in nearly all the great buildings that have been erected since. The tissue of the leaf Is so exceedingly fine that a straw dropping vertically upon it from distance of six feet would penetrate it's substance, yet the wonderful complication of the frame work Is so nicely adjusted that a man weighing one hundred and fifty pounds could easily be borne on one of the leaves Several of the leaves of the Shaw's Garden plant would, it Is said, support a weight of four hundred pounds, if evenly distributed.
 But it Is the hundred-petalled flower, with it's grace and fragrance, which has brought the plant its greatest fame. This measures usually from twelve to twenty-three inches in diameter. and is a pure white when 1t opens. It blooms thus for a night, closing at about nine o'clock in the morning, and opens again shortly before sunset, this time a vivid pink and with deeper fragrance than before. The third night it is a dark red or purple, and in the morning its glory ends.
 MT. James Gurney, the venerable su- perintendent of Tower Grove Park and head gardener of the garden, had the honor of bringing to bloom the first plant in England and presenting the flower to Queen Victoria, in whose hon. or it was named.
 The plant was first seen in 1901 by the botanist Haenke, and it was introduced in England and this country about the middle of the century. It will thrive only under the greatest care, and the temperature must be kept at eighty de- grees Fahrenheit. In South America, its native country, it is valued much for its seeds which are crushed into flour and baked as bread. The Guaranari Indians call the plant Yrupe or water platter" and when gathering the seeds, it is said, they will put their little pa- pooses to rest or play upon the broad leaves, with goatskin at their feez, while the elders wade the stream.--St. Louis Globe-Democrat

Cows milk is almost at the bottom of Hhe list of the food substances that con tain iron. As it is so important to in, liant life, Professor Bunge has been led Ito experiment on animals to see in what tem at different ages. He finds that the younger animals contain much more iron than adults; in a guinea pig or rabbit one hour old, for instance, there is more than four times as much iron as in the same animals two and a half months old. He dnfers from this that "a long-continued exclusive milk diet is hot good for babies, but should be sup plemented by wheat preparations.

 A man shot through the brain, says Victor Horsley, dies, not through fail ure of the hearts action, but through the want of breath occasioned by the explosive effect of the bullet passing through the wet brain substance, and consequent injury to the base of the brain. The heart goes on beating, but respiration stops; indeed, the heart is stimulated, not depressed, when a bull let enters the brain, and the proper treatment of a man thus shot is the same as that resorted to in the case of drowned people-one should try to set up artificial respiration.
