FUMES OF CYANIDE.

They Cause . Radical Change IN the Coll
ors of Flowers.
It is well known that the yellows
of some insects are turned to red by the
fumes from potassium cyanide; but I
have not, after some inquiry, been able
to obtain any literature describing the
effects of such fumes upon the coIors
of flowers. The. reactions l have OBJ
served are very curious, and while it
seems improbable that they are hither-
to wholly unknown, it may not be
amiss to direct attention to them.
A few Jumps of cyanide are placed
in corked tube, covered with little
cotton, and the flowers are placed on
the cotton. 1t is probably necessary
that the day should be hot or the tube
slightly warmed. The pink flowers of
Cleome integrifolia and Monarda fist
ulosa turn to brilliant green-blue
and finally become pale yellow. A pur-
ple-red verbena becomes bright blue
then pale yellow. The purple flowers
of Solanum sloeagnifolium go green
blue and then yellow. The white pet

low, the natural color of A. Mexicana.
The pale yellowish flowers of Ment-
zelia nuda turn deeper yellow. Flow
ers of Lupinus Argenteus, var, turn
pale yellow. White elder (Sambucus)
flowers turn yellow. The scarlet flow
ers of Sphaeralcea angustifolia turn
pale, dull pink, resembling somewhat
a natural variety of the same. Any
of your readers will doubtless obtain
similar results with the flowers grow
ing in their vicinity.-T. D. A. Cockerell,

gives you the dreaded appendicitis.
tions 1t is the bacteria that do the
business. They attack the affected ap-
pendix, and the Inflammation extends
thence to the adjacent organs.
Although now apparently useless, it
is believed that the appendix once
formed an important part of the ali
mentary tract. This was in the days
when we needed wisdom tooth for
crushing palms and ferns and large
absorbing surface with which to ex-
tract their scanty nutriment. The wis
dom tooth, with it's insufficient calcii-
cation, perishes easily when attacked
bp bacteria, and the appendix shows
the same want of resisting power.
The vermiform appendix was recog-
nized in the 10th century. AS COM
pared with the size of the intestine, it
is largest at birth and smallest after 20
years of age. 1t is of very variable di-
mensions, for the reason, says the
writer, that it is one of the structures
which, in the descent of man, 'hutters
before going out" Its average length
in a young adult is not far from 3%
inches.

The most striking disclosure in the

WAS USEFUL ONCE.

vermiform Appendix Was Not Always
a Superfiuous Organ.
A great deal is heard nowadays about
appendicitis. There is no DOUBT that
very many persons are badly scared
about it. The number of persons who
will not eat fruit containing seeds is
very Iarge-this Notwithstanding the
fact that medical opinion has agreed
that not more than six per cent. OF the
cases of appendicitis are due to the
swallowing of seeds.
The contents of the appendix usually
consists of mucus. The appendix has
abundant muscular ability to empty it
self, and it has at its points OF connec-
ton with the intestine a good fixed
point for muscular action. But very
little swelling will SO contract the tube
as to prevent the escape of the concre-

No" she answered. turning her
head aside; but if he loves me. be-
heve that he loves power more. Had l
stayed. my father would have appoint
ed me to rule in his place. and Tikal,
my cousin. would have been next to the

he consented to my going, or at least

''Sirs, learn now that you are to ac-
company us to the City of the Heart,

Few such have ever reached the City of

these, save one or two. none have eS-
capped from it alive. They do not de-
sire new things, they have little knowl-
edge of the world beyond their walls,
and seek for none.
''Now, sirs, choose whether you will
accompany US in our march toward the
City of Waters, or whether you will set
your face to the sea again and forget
that you chanced to hear a certain story
from a wandering doctor, whose mis-
fortunes had made him mad, and an In
dian girl who tended him"

the lady Maya spoke very earnestly and

It is with poignant sorrow that we
chronicle the untimely death of Mr..
DonaldiStewart, the direct result of
an accident on Wednesday afternoon
of last week. For Is years we have
known him, and during all of that
time we have esteemed him Profound
ly. His mould was of the classic
Scotch cast-upright, honorable, con-
scientious, with an answering devo-
ton for the truth. That higher aim
of uplifting mankind, of giving en-
enlargement to disheartened or
fallen brother, the advancement of
humanity, was ever uppermost in his
mind. A God given devotion to his
family came on with manhood, and
this devotion kindled brighter as the
years went by, and when he realized
that his final day had arrived the first
call was for his wife and children
and for the great Book under which
they had been brought up.
As farmer he was one of many.
Loyal to Redwood county in it's dark
est moments he toiled on and on until
the brighter day appeared when he
turned his affairs over to his sons and
gave his time to watching them con-
tinue in his luminous path. Redwood
county will miss Donald Stewart.
Peace be to his ashes.

There is every indication that the
free silverites will nominate free sill
YER candidate for President at Chicago
to-day. The nomination will be made
under Democratic canvass and will
probably be endorsed by the free sill
verites of the bi-metallic league and
of the Populist Party. In case of such
an endorsement the Republican and
Democratic parties will be the only ex
listing National parties during the
present campaign.

Republican party ARE sufficient planks
on which to stand in order to be
Republican.

There will be more political Topping
during the! next four months than
there has been during the past four
years. The gold Democrat will jump
to the Republican ranks and the Re-
publican free silverite will jump into
the Democratic ranks-or, as told by
the story teller, will take little silver
and start a party of his own. The
Populist will remain where he is, pro-
badly without head.

CHILDS RENOMINATED.

By the denomination of Henry W.
Childs as encouragement of the
State the delegates to the Republican
State convention, or a majority of
them, showed that they were able to
tear away from the corporate influence
OF the Great Northern Railroad.
It has all along been conceded and
manifested that Jim Hill would make
the fight of his life on the attorney
general on account of the latter's bold
step taken on behalf of an morgan
lied people against the greatest plum
dering scheme ever conceived by Hill
the consolidation of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, so far
as the traffic agreement was con-
cerned. On the floor of the conyen-
ton and in the hotel lobby this bold
corporate manipulation, through his
servile tools and attorneys, fought Mr.
Childs, but the latter came out VIC
torious.
Why? It was plain that if Hill had
defeated Childs the cry of corporate
control would have gone out and the
defeat would have cost the Republic
an ticket many thousands of votes.
Candidates for State Offices realized
this fact and they we're quick to drive
their delegates to Childs.
Mr.. Childs will have held the office
for ten years at the end of his term
two years hence. He will undoubted-
ly retire at that time. Many dele
gates who voted for him at the con-
vention we're of the opinion that he
had held the Office long enough, but
ia view of the fight made by the Great
Northern against him, they deemed il
expedient to give him another nomin-
alton and consequently another cleo
ton. 1t was wise move and will
give the Republican ticket increased
votes at the November election.

Altgeld-John Pardon Altgeld-
the governor of Illinois, who pardoned
the Chicago anarchists from the Joliet
penitentiary, is the ring-master of the
Democratic circus down in Chicago.
He cracks his whip around the Nat
ional committe and it bows to his re-
quest. He juggles sixteen silver
dollars out of one gold dollar, and
with every breath a silver cart-wheel
falls from his stubby beard. There
are other silver shouters in Chicago
but sixteen of them in a composite
group could not make one Altgeld.

campaigning adopted by the patriots,
and the value of their enthusiasm for
their cause, yet the failure of the
Spaniards hitherto to derive decisive
advantage from their vast superiority
of numbers is most noticeable. Petty

In the death of Harriet Beecher

In the death of Harriet Beecher
Stowe at her home in Hartford on
Wednesday of last week another one
of the strongest of anti-slavery writer's
of anti-rebellion days passed away.
Her "Uncle Toms Cabin" will long be
pointed to as the most effective piece
of work written for the purpose of
bringing about the abolition of slavery.
The book has been translated into
nineteen different languages. Mrs.
Stowe also wrote vindication of Lady
Byron, which was really an attack on
Lord Byron, and made statements
which we're not justifable.
