A Wonderful Flower.

The most wonderful flower in the
world, as we'll as one of the very larg-
est blossoms" known, is n native OF
the Malay peninsula. 1t is simply a
gigantic flower without either stem OF
leaves. and has more the appearance
of fungus than anything else. 1t is
about three feet in diameter and has a
globular central cup which has a ca,
pacity of nearly two gallons. This cup
Is always filled with a fetid liquor
which attracts an immense swarm Of
flies and other insects. The pistils o.

One of the most remarkable men in
public life at this time is Hon. II. w.
Thompson, of Indiana, ex.Secretary Of
the Navy. Mr.. Thompson is now in
his eighty'seventh year, and has been
in public life ever since 1886. This
year he presided over the Indiana
State Convention, and then visited st.
Louis as delegate to the National Re.
publican Convention. In spite of his
advanced years, his mind is still Wig
orous and unimpaired, while his body
retains much of its former elasticity.
lie is to-day much stronger than hun.
dreds of men who are twenty and
thirty years his junior and is capable
OF doing more hard work. As far back
as $40, when William Henry Har-
rlson was n candidate tor President of
the United States, Mr.. Thompson was
chosen MS one OF the electors from In
diana on the Whig ticket. Ever since
that time he has been factor in
American politics. and has participat.
ed in every political campaign. Mr..
Thompson is six months older than
Gladstone and six years older than
Bismarck, but while these veterans
have laid aside the cares of Office Mr..
thompson is still actively engaged in
public affairs. On being asked the
secret OF his vigorous health at such q
patriarchal age, he replied that he had
never INDUCED in vicious habits or al.
lowed himself to acquire a taste for in
toxicating drinks. II man possesses
a good constitution at the beginning
OF life and does 2othing to impair or
diminish his physical birthright, in
the opinion OF the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, there is no reason why his days
should not be long in the land nor
has he any excuse, provided he has n
fair amount of brains, for not becom-
ing a potential factor in his day and
generation.

Something is wrong, maintains the
American Agriculturist, when straw
berries cost consumers in New York
and New England cities from ten to
fifteen cents per quart, while the pro.
ducer in Jersey and on tho Delaware
peninsula only nets from two to four
cents per basket. 1t does seem as
though this condition of affairs went
from bad to worse as the years roll on.
The more perishable the fruit the
greater seems to be the cost of handling
and selling it.
