Zone of the most beautiful floral ex-
hibits in New England" says a Con-
necticut man, lis upon 'Tadpole pond,
a famous pOnd-lily pond on the line of
the Norwich & Worcester railroad. one
mile above Jewett City, Conn. The
surface of the pond is now mass of
pink-and white pOnd-lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds. No one knows how
long this remarkable garden of pond
lilies has been in existence, but for
many years Tadpole's lilies have been
sought by picnic parties from nearby
counties in this state, Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. Cart loads of the
flowers are carried away, but there
seems to be no diminution in the sup
ply. The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which il divides in halves,
and in an instant the passengers de-
tect the fragrance Of the lilies and
throw up the windows, the better to
view the beautiful and unusual sight
In one section Of Tadpole there is a
large tract of lilies, the blossoms of
which are Of so rich pink as 10 be al
most rose-colored. They are of ex-
ceediugly rare beauty. and are much
sought after by collectors. Chicago

NINETY CoNvIcTs EAT MELONS.
Remarkab Scene Witnessed in .
Georgia Field.


There were 30 happy negroes wear.
ing the stsipes OF convicts in Georgia
one day recently.
All their happiness was caused be.
cause Deputy Sheriff c. 2. Trimble has
a big heart, and also big watermelon
patch.
Mr.. Trimble's watermelon patch is
situated in East Point, and for some
days a squad of 90 negro couvicts has
been working on the road that runs oy
the forbidden fruit. For days the song
that the poor devils would sing TO the
rafting of their chains was something
about the inferiority of all the fruits
Of the earth compared TO the water
melon, ending with the plaintive
chorus:
"Oh, gimme. oh, gimme, really wish
you would. dat watermelon groin on
de vine
The other day their song was an.
swered. 1t was raining and they could
not work, and Mr.. Trimble ordered
Capt. Duncan, who has charge of them,
TO turn them in and let them eat their
fill. Capt. Duncan knew better than to
turn 90 hungry convicts right into q
field of melons. for he wanted 10 save
the vines, and he knew that they would
eat vines and all, so he selected several
of the TRUSTEES and sent them up &c
the field with big twO-horse wagon.
Those TRUSTEES knew what they had to
do, and if one wagon ever had load
of melons that one did. When il rolled
into camp there was kind of lIll that
comes before storm, only I moment
fer the melon-hungry negroes TO grasp
the situation, and then the massacre
began.
There were no knives to cut them up
with. There were no dainty slices like
one sees in a boarding house. 1t was
like a swarm of locusts turned loose in
a grain field. There was one long swish
and a swush, a blur of red. a universal
grunt Of satisfaction and the wagon
was on the way back to the field for
more.
Oliver Twist wasn't IN il when Il
came to calling for more with these
hungry convicts When the wagon
came back with 200 or 800 more the

forgotten and the second onslaught be-
gan. 1t was more stubborn and lit
tie longer, but the victory was just as
complete.
Old negroes that had not tasted bit
of the red fruit since last year would
grab melon, give it one affectionate
hug, and then let US draw a curtain
over the scene. No mortal man could
tell where the negro began and the
melon left off. The rinds went the
same way that the meat did. and there
were enough seed swallowed TO give
the whole United States appendicitis
if properly distributed.
When the last reports were received
the wagon was still making trips TO
the patch. and Mr.. Trimble's melons
were disappearing at the rate of about
90 a minute.
In spite of the recent investigation

GLANDS LATEST VIEW.

Last year. we told Arizona readers more than once that free silver was only 6 halfway house, and that po- liticfans who had got that far on the road to imitation and repudiation would either retrace their steps in alarm CT go further
 The Hon. Richard P. Bland-"Sil- yer Dollar Dick"-was one of the La bor Day speakers at Paris in the state of Missouri. Here is the specially in teresting part of Bland's speech:
 T would first, have silver and gold coined, free and unlimited, at the ra- tic of 16 to 1. If that does not fur nish sufficient circulating medium l would issue paper money, and would have that paper money like the old greenbacks- s-ledeemable in noth- ing, and good legal tender for all debts public and private
 Bland has been regarded as, by inflationists. Such language from his lips is significant It is language of kind that is being heard more and more frequently. All the populists are for irredeemable paper already, and a very large percentage of the democrats. Mr. Bryan may declare for it any day now. He's sure to de- clare for it, if he lives, before the opening of the preliminary canvass of 1900.
 The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is right. Scratch a Bryanite of any part Of the country-east, west or south and a greenbacker will be found un- der his skin.

COOKING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Chicago is making a test of a new branch of education in public schools domestic economy. The idea of af- fording girls in public schools man ual training adapted to their sex and sphere as well as to the boys is said known philanthropist, Mrs. fleming way, who, after proving the feaSibil
 ity of the scheme in one of the Bcston schools, has witnessed its adoption in the New York schools and those of other eastern cities. The Chicago school, wherein the experiment is be- ing made, is exclusively for the chill dren of working people, by virtue of its location in the center of manu- featuring district From the point of view of the philanthropists who have succeeded in grating the manual training for girls in the public school system, there is scant justice in teach ing boys woodwork and other arts that help them to make living while girls are growing up in utter ignor- ance of the household arts which are to be their livelihood. The girls manual training department in the school will, therefore, be devoted to thorough training in sewing and cooking, for girls over twelve years of age. The expenses of the depart melt are defrayed from private funds. There being no draft on the public funds, there is a willingness on the part of the Chicago school au- thorities to give the experiment thorough test and to judge the wis dom of extending the system by re- suits. Expert educators claim that the introduction of manual traini1 g for girls in the public schools of east ern cities has long since passed the experimental stage and that it is blessing to the children of the poorer classes, who are thus fitted for inde
 pendent livelihood. The time is surely coming when extravaganza in useless fads in public schools gen. era1ly will wear itself out, and when manual training for the children of the poorer classes will be recognized as among the most worthy of legiti- mate expenditures of the school funds

HONEST WEALTH.

A great deal is heard in these days about attacks on the rights of prop erty, and it is indeed unfortunate that the wild and revolutionary talk of a certain class of agitators should find as much responseAas it does among part of the population. But
 let wealth remember the duties it owes to society and the dangers that
 menace its rights will vanish and the power of the revolutionary agita- tor will cease. Let wealth pay it's fair proportion of taxes; let it help rather than hinder the work of secur- ing a revenue system that will make it easier to apportion the burdens of taxation fairly and equitably among the members of the community. Let honest wealth array itself on the side of the public and honest government when interruptions wealth is trying to plunder the public. In short, let wealth remember the responsibilities which it owes to society, and the rights which it claims will be accord ed without question. Chicago Record.
