COLOR OF WOMEN'S EYES.
The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set-
tied Many q Mans Fate.

The Mere Question of Pigment Has Sot-
tied Many a Mans Fate.
Did you ever notice that men always
instinctively put confidence in a girl
with blue eyes, and have their sus-
picions of the girl with brilliant black
ones, and will you kindly tell me why ?
asks writer In the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Is it that the limpid blue eye,
transparent and gentle, suggests all
the soft, womanly virtues, and because
he thinks he can see through it, clear
down into that blne-eyed girls soul,
that she is the kind Of girl he fancies
she is? 1 think it is, but some of the
greatest little frauds know are the
purry, kitteny girls with the big limo
cent blue eyes. Blazing black eyes, and
the rich, warm colors, which dark
skinned women have to wear suggest
energy and brilliance and no end Of
intellect. Men look into such eyes apd
seem not 10 be able to see below the
surface. They have not the pleasure of
long, deep gaze into immeasurable
depths. And so they think her design
ing and clever, and, perhaps (God save
the marki), even intellectual, when,
perhaps, she has wealth of love and de-
yotfon and heroism stored up behind
that impulsive disposition and those
dazzling black eyes, which would do
and dare more in minute for some man
she had set that great heart of hers
upon, than your cold-blooded, tranquil
blond would do in 40 years. A mere
question, of pigment in the eye has set
tied many mans fate in life, and es-
tablished him with wife who turned
out to be very different from the girl
he fondly thought he was getting.

REFRleERATINe FLOWERS.
Now scheme for Making Plants Bloom
Out of Season.

Now Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
Out of Season.
Quite revelation in horticulture has
been in progress during the past decade,
although, owing to the secret manner in
which the experiments leading up to il
have been conducted, comparatively few
persons have been aware of the new de-
parture, says Chambers Journal.
Everyone knows that flowers, as well
as fruits and vegetables, are forced,
30 that those who are rich shall have
the use of them before unaided nature
brings them to maturity. The forcing
business is an expensive one, requir-
ing constant attention and skilled la
Dor. Many attempts, therefore, have
been made to get at the golden eggs
by cheaper means, and as a result of
many trials the opposite process to
forcing has been adopted with sue
cess.
The system consists in retarding the
Towering of the plant by refrigeration,
and is, of course, only applicable to those
which are hardy in this country, by
which we mean those which will stand
several degrees of frost. The lily of
the valley is one of them, and 1t is much
in request for purposes of decoration.
Under the old forcing conditions only
about so per cent. of the buds treated
could be induced to flower, but by the
freezing process an average of IS per
cent. can be secured from the end of
summer up to Christmas. 1t will be
noted that the process cannot be APP
piled to evergreens of any kind and it
would certainly be the death of camel
las and probably hyacinths and tulips.
1t is said that near Berlin three grow
crs alone have nearly 300 acres of lily
of the valley under cultivation and
that they have adopted the refrigerating
method with great success. 1t has long
ago been proved that the plant can
be cultivated in England with equal
success, and we trust that the new meth
cd will soon be tried on an extensive
scale in this country.

INDIANS WANT SILVER.
They Have No Use for Gold Coin OF Paper
Money.

They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Paper
Money.
If the silver question were left to tho
Sioux Indians to be decided, says the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, they would
speedily decide it in a manner that
would prove perfectly satisfactory to
the advocates of free silver coinage.
The Sioux are naturally in favor Of
free silver coinage, principally because
silver is more easily counted by them
than any other kind of money. White
Ghost, the venerable head of the Crow
Creek Sioux, in discussing the money
question while in town recently, adj
vanced some peculiar ideas regarding
money, which are undoubtedly shared
by practically every member of the
Sioux nation. He says that when the
government pays the people on his
reservation the s19s,0OO due to them,
he wants 1t paid in silver dollars. Gold
is detested by the Indians because the
coins are so small when the sum they
represent is taken into consideration
White Ghost said he could not under
stand why ten-dollar bill should not
be just ten times as large as a one-dollar
bill. He thinks the government should
increase the size of bills in proportion
30 the sum they represent, even if it
was necessary that a 800 bill should be
as large as horse blanket. If the
government persists in paying them
partly in bills, they would like to see
the change made. But silver dollars
are what the Indians want, even should
they receive them in such quantities
that they would have to be transported
to their age1iciesin wagons.

Corn Smut.
From the Farm News.1

From the Farm News
Smut in corn is very different
from the smut Of other grains. A
bulletin Of the Indiana station
points out some of these differences
and deduces valuable hints for the
corn grower. It has been assumed
that because the smut of wheat
and oats can be prevented by i'm
mersing the seed in hot water or
solution Of some fungicide, the
same method is applicable to corn.
But it is not true; and for the rea-
son that the method by which the
corn smut attacks the plant Is very
unlike that OF most of the other
cereal smuts.
