falls, and Ampelopsis qwinquefolia. Creepers are rampant, hardly less so than in the woods on Goat Island, where the wild grape attains great size and runs freely over the tops of quite tall trees, The wild grape on the edge of the gorge was just setting its crop and showed a luXurlance of punches that would charm a vlneyardist. Bit tersweet and Solanum Dulcamara are also there. These vines do not venture far down the wall, as they need soil, but they are in the spirit of the place, and are seen rising from it's base and sometimes making their way far up the moist surface, while the Aquilegia and some smaller greenery that it is hard to make out in the distance, crop out of every seam and ridge and ter race from base to summit.
 It is this acceptance of the wild spirit of Niagara that makes its flora so ac- sterile, so that the effort to turn the river bank on the mainland into a cul- tivated park is so far indifferently sue cessful, and the ambitious evergreens that were planted on Bath Island are all gone. But this makes no difference with the wild plants; they flourish ev- anywhere and are as indifferent to the soil as any but actual air plants can be-
 The widest of our native plants dc not yield naturally to cultivation, be- cause they demand atmospheric condi- tions that cannot be transplanted with them. The result is that they finger awhile out of their native element and then disappear. Let Niagara pretty generally alone and it will never want for flora that is appropriate to it. There Is very doubtful need of the forest tree nursery that is made to disfigure part of Goat Island or the thicket of snow berry, Symphoricarpus racemosus, that begins to shut in the drive from Bath 1 Island.

New Party VIII be Active in Mime
sofa.

The National Party is to be organized
in this state and If the conditions are
such that it is required, a state ticket
will be put into the field This new
movement is the silver branch of the
Prohibition party which has bolted the
national organization. At the convent
ion at Pittsburg the gold and silver
factions had a bitter struggle resulting
in the silver men boiling and putting
forth platform in favor of silver, pro-
hibition and women suffrage as the
principal issues. John P. ST. John came
to this state several days ago with the
special intention Of starting the new
party, and a meeting was called yester-
day afternoon for that purpose
In response to the call some rs gentle
men met in the K of P. hall, Masonic
Temple. The meeting was entirely in
formal and given over to the discussion
Of the situation and how best to pro-
coed. Talks were given by Mr. ST.
Rev. Manchester, E. G. Wright and
others. It was thought best to affect
a temporary organization, with chair
man and secretary who were to canvass
the state and open up correspondence
with the members of the party who
were known to be sympathizers. This
was done with T. w. Davies as chair
man and A. P. Peterson as secretary.
These two were instructed to appoint
chairman for each county who is to
obtain and forward lists Of the sym
pathizers in their respective counties
and in general do the work in their dis
tricts. In regard to putting a
ticket in the field the gentlemen
in the movement will prob
ably wait until they see what candi-
dates the silverits put up.

THE MAKING OF SWISS WATCHES
Manufacturer Takes the Best offered
Him to Put His Name On

1t is most interesting to compare the diff
ferent methods by means of which the high
est grade of mechanical perfection is at
tanned in various countries. Notwithstand-
ing the high character of American watches.
for example, the finest Swiss watches still
retain their great reputation, says writer
in Casters Magazine.
The Swiss workman receives the parts from
the manufacturer In the rough, takes them
to his home, puts his best Individual skill
into finishing and assembling and brings the
completed watches to his employer. The lat
ter inspects the work, and out of a batch Of
say, fifty watches, he selects FIVE or six AZ
worthy of his attention and puts the others
into his regular trade under some general
trade name. The selected watches he read
justs, working over them for days weeks and
months before he considers them worthy to
bear his own name. and 1T is these watches
which go to those who not only have The
money to buy, but also the patience to wait.
A prominent firm of American Jewellers
chatting under the inconvenience of this old
world method Of doing things, sought to in
troduce American methods and Sc If tha

made more methodically. A factory was

BIG DERBY WAS NOT RUN.
PALM WINS IN I've HANDICAP

The second day of the Minneapolis
Driving clubs summer meeting at
Minnehaha track was a decided i'm
provement in every way over the in
troductory occasion. The extreme
heat and the strong head wind still
blowing were discouraging factors as
on the first day, but otherwise the eli
matte conditions were all that could
have been desired, and there was a
very noticeable increase in the attend
ance, fully twice the number of people
being present that were on hand the
first day, The track was still little
slow but this did not prevent some
first class exhibitions Of sport and both
bicyclists and horsemen, apparently,
were in their element. All events
passed off smoothly and the only
thing to mar the pleasure Of those
present was the inability of the man
agement to pull off the great derby,
the 2:25 trot, three mile dash. Consid-
cradle disappointment was occasioned
by this announcement but it could
not be helped. There were five en-
tries for this race and the trotting
rules required four starters. Only
three starters could be found and the
event was accordingly postponed until
today.
The other derby, the five-mile handi-
cap for amateur cyclists, which excited
fully as much interest as was mani
tested in the trotting race, came off on
schedule time and was one of the most
gamely contested events of the kind
that have been seen on local tracks this
season. There were about 80 starters
and "a stuck 1t out to the finish. A
spill in the fourth mile threw several
riders out Of the race and all Of them
were more or less bruised. Charles
Palm, the pupil of Gus Hansen, in long
distance riding, took another long step
toward fame by winning both time and
place prizes He finished in 1917.
The other events, though few in num-
Der, were none the less interesting and
afforded ample entertainment for the
many lovers of fast horses who were
present. There were a number of
flyers in the field and 1T took several
heats in both contests before decisions
could be made. Gosette A., owned by
A. M. Dewing, Minneapolis, took first
place in the 2:40 trot, and Maronial,
same owner, captured the best place in
the 2:28 pace.

Its Evolution From an Expression
of Cruelty to That of Merriment.
Westminster Review.
Just az the hoof of the horse is a remnant
OF an original five toes; Just as the pineal
gland In man is now said toabe the survival of
a prehistoric eye on the top Of the head, so,
perhaps, this levity in regard to particular
ailments lin others may be5the descendant OF
an aboriginal ferocity In man.. It is a we'll
known theory that what we call humor arose
from the same source;i that the first human
laugh that ever woke the astonished echoes
OF gloomy primeval forests was not an express
sion of mirth but exultation over the misery
OF tortured enemy. ID
There is to this day something terrible in
laughter The laugh of madness or of cruel
ty is a sound more awful than that Of the Bit
terest lamentations.
By means OF that strange phonogranh that
we call literature we can even listen now to
the laughter of the dead; to the hearty GUT
flaws or cynical titterings Of generation after
we are curious In such matters, we can probe
into the nature OF the changes that have
passed over the fashion of mems humor.
For 1t has been said not without the sun
port OF Weighty cumulative evidence that as
we penetrate further into the past we f1nd
the sense of humor depending always more
obviously and solely upon the enjoyment OF
the pain, misfortune, modification or emhar
rassment of others. The sense of SUPERIORITY
was the sense of humor in our ancestors. or
in other words. vanity lay at the root of this,
species
Putting ear to our photograph, we catch
the echoes OF a strange and merry tumult:
boisterous. cruel, often brutal vet with here
and there tender cadence from some soil
tary voice; and presently this lonely note
grows stronger and sweeter, as we travel
slowly towards our own time, until at length.
through all the merriment, we can hear the
soft undermurmur of pity. Does the picture
not seize the imagination-the long Laughter

BEREA, O., July 1.-Over 100 shots
were exchanged by deputy sheriffs and
strikers this morning at the stone
quarries at West View. No one was
killed, so far as known. One striker
had his leg broken in two places, and
many have sore heads as the result of
hand to hand conflict. The strikers,
who had been out for two weeks, ap-
preached the quarry through the
woods with the avowed intention Of
driving out the non-union men at work.
They were met by sheriffs and forty
deputies, who commanded them to
stop. For answer, the strikers began
firing, and the fight then became gem
eI al. For a few moments the strikers
were reDulsed and fell back to the
woods. The men in the quarries are
quitting for fear and by tn importuni-
ties Of their wives.
While the strikers were at West View
the women in overwhelming numbers
took the quarry here by storm and
drove out the workmen with clubs The
sheriff was at West View with all but
handful Of his deputies, and in con-
sequence the women had it all their
own way When the news reached
them that some OF the strikers had
been injured at West View, the wo-
men were beside themselves with rage
and were only kept in check by the
large body of citizens hastily sum-
moned from the village. The strikers
would not allow any one inside Of
their line after the fight, so it was not
possible to learn how many of their
number had been injured None of the
sheriff's men were hurt
Sheriff Leek, this afternoon telegraph
ed Gov. Bushnell, at Columbus that he
was unable to hold in check the strik-
Ing stone quarry men at Berea, and
asked that four companies Of militia
be ordered to his assistance at once.
In response, Governor Bushnell wired
that the sheriff must use his own judg-
ment, and if unable to cope with the
strikers himself to call out what mill
tia he wanted in the county Every
thing is quite at Berea and Westview
tonight. The sheriff has 100 deputies

POPE,s SNUFF BOX.
His Holiness Gets His Supply From
the United States.

Chicago Chronicle.
Pope Leo XIII. adheres to a custom
still practiced in this country by gentle
men of the old school-that of using
snuff. 1t is not generally known that
the Snuff used by the head of the
Roman Catholic church is made especi-
ally for his use in Baltimore. 1t is the
highest priced snuff made anywhere in
the world, and its value is increased
several times above the original cost
after the customs duty has been paid
to the Italian government The snuff
for the Prince Of Rome is manufactured
from the pick Of the finest Virginia and
Kentucky tobacco, the Baltimore firm
which makes the snuff being careful
that every vestige Of stem is removed
from the tobacco before 1t undergoes
the process which changes the leaf to
a sneeze provoker. Before it Is packed
the snuff is favored with the costly
altar of roses. One hundred pounds
were first ordered for the Vatican. This
was packed in ne-pound and five-pound
jars, each jar being placed in leather
case lined with cardinal satin.
The Jars were Of the same color and
each was tied with cardinal ribbon.
In honor of Cardinal Gibbons, through
whom the Baltimore firm secured it's
first order, the snuff was called "cardi-
nal snuff"
1t is supposed that the five-pound
jars found a resting place in the pri-
vate apartments of His Holiness. The
one-pound jars were used as presents
from the pope to various cardinals and
to others of his friends fond of a good
Baltimore sneeze. Rev. John P. Far
relley, of the American college at Rome
appears to have been numbered among
the latter, and must have pinched of
the pope's snuff, for the Baltimore
makers recently received an order
from Father Farrelley for "some Of
the snuff his holiness uses" This or
der has been filled. Pope Plus TX wa~
a snuff taker, too. and Baltimore en-
joyed the distinction of making his
snuff. The brand was known as "Pio
Mono"

NORTH Dakota CROPS.
Weather Not So Favorable to Most
Kinds of Grain.


Kinds of Grain.
BISMARCK, S. D., July 1.-The week
ly report Of the weather and crop
bureau is as follows:
The weather conditions during the
past week, while favorable for growth,
have been injurious to the wheat in
many localities. The hot weather dur
ing the day, followed by rain or heavy
dew at night has caused considerable
rust in this crop, and some reports in
dictate a poor outlook. The earlier
sown wheat has made such Roadway as
to partially escape injury from this
cause, and where we'll sown, and not
infested with weeds, is heading out,
but the later sown grain does not fare
so well, the young stools being reported
as killed by rust, and some fields are
still turning yellow. Rye and oats still
hold their own, and are making good
Roadway, being in some places fifteen
inches high, and heading out. Flax al
so is making good growth and some
fields are reported in blossom. Some
rye which was of a poor stand has been
cut for feed. The potato crop promises
an abundant yield, and with ample
moisture has advanced rapidly and the
plant is now in blossom Hay promises
an immense yield, and in some sections
cutting has commenced.
