New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
Out OF Season.

New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
Out OF Season.
Quite a revelation in horticulture has
been in progress during the past decade,
although, owing TO the secret manner in
which the experiments leading up to it
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,
so 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. reGuir-
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.
ard is.of course. only applicable TO those
which are hardy in this country. by
several degrees OF frost. The lily of
the valley is one OF them, and it is much
in request for purposes of decoration.
Under the old forcing conditions only
about 50 per cent. of the buds treated
could be induced TO flower, but by the
freezing process an average of % per
cent. can be secured from the end OF
summer up to Christmas. 1t will he
noted that the process cannot be ap-
piled to evergreeEs of any kind and it
would certainly be the death of camel
las and probably hyacinths ard tulips.
1t is said that near Berlin three grow
crs alone have nearly 600 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-sHd we trust that the new meth
cd will soon be tried on an extensive
scale in this country.

Eamoana Are LAZY.

Civilization has demoralized the Sa-
means. They have taken a fancy for
the large men-of-war's boats, for which
they have discarded their canoes, and
In which they row about from village
to village, discussing politics and neg
lecting their crops. 10 build the bOats
they have mortgaged their Land, and in
stead of making an attempt TO raise
money to pay their creditors they spend
their time playing cricket for stakes
consisting of pigs or kegs of salt beef.

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
to the sum they represent. even if it
was necessary that S10O bill should be
as large as a 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 agencies in wagons.

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

They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Paper
Money.
If the silver question were left to the
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 khem
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,OOO due to them,
he wants it paid in silver dollars. Gold

Mr.. AuoUsTiN DAILY.

Looks Like the Ideal Poet Rather Than
Theatrical Manager.
A writer in Donahoe's Magazine has a
pleasant character sketch of Mr.. Au-
gustin DAILY. To meet Mr.. DAILY for the
first time after forming a mental pic
ture of him from his profession and his
achievements means, says this writer,
q rather pleasant surprise. He looks
like the ideal poet rather than the sue
cessful manager; tall, slender, well-pro-
portioned, graceful and nervous in
movement, self-possessed in repose;
face delicate in outline, thoughtful and
serious in expression; hard as a flint in
business moments, dreamy and sad in
repose; indicating the rare combina-
ton of business ability and poetic pow
er. Almost 60, he looks no older than
a scholarly man of 40, and the average
acute observer would take him for a
college professor of the most intel
lectual sort.
Mr.. DAILY is further characterized as
undoubtedly ambitious; his energy

Wentworth said no more. He stag

The man wto neglects them is trifing with

with death. He is fencing with a superior
adversary.
The downhill road from health runs di
rectly to consumption. CONSUMPTION is the
disease of weakness. A debilitated condi-

road for the beginning of this disease. Its
name tells its story. 1t means not only con-
sumption of the lungs, but consumption
of the whole body.
Loss of appetite. loss of sleep, loss of
nerve force, loss of hesh-these are fore
runners and indications of CONSUMPTION.

The Mere Question of Pigment Has Set
tied Many Il 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 VIII 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 blue-eyed girls soul,
that she is the kind of girl he fancies
she is? l 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 coiors, which dark
skinned women have to wear suggest
energy and brilliance and no end of
intellect. Men ilok into such eyes and
seem not 10 be able to see below the
surface. They have not the pleasure of
a long, deep gaze into unreasonable
depths. And so they think her design
ing and clever, and, perhaps God save
the markD, even intellectual, when,
perhaps, she has a wealth OF love and de-
votion and heroism stored up behind
that impulsive disposition and those
dazzling black eyes, which would do
and dare more in a minute for some man
she had set that great heart Of hers
upon, than your cold-blooded, tranquil
question of pigment in the eye has set
tied many mans fate in life. and es-
tablished him with a wife who turned
out to be very different from the girl
he fondly thought he was getting.

Portuguese fishermen say that the
black spot on each side of haddock's
head is an imprint of Peters thumb
and fingers. According to the tradition
the paddock was the fish from which he
took the piece of tribute money miracrr-
lousy found in its mouth.
