ACRES OF PINK POND LILIES.
Floral Display That Delights Con-
nccticut Railway Travellers.


nccticut Railway Travellers.
One Of the most beautiful floral ex-
hibits in New England is upon Tad
POLE" famous pond lily pond on the
line of the Norwich G. Worcester rail-
road, one mile above Jewett City, Conn.
The surface of the pond is now a mass
of pink and white pond lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds, says the New York
Sun.
No one knows how long this remark
able garden of pond lilies has been in
existence, but for many years Tad
poles lilies have been sought by picnic
parties from nearby counties in this
state, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Carloads of the flowers are carried
away, but there seems to be no diminu-
ton in the supply.
The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which it divides in halves, and
in an instant the passengers detect 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 large tract
of lilies the blossoms of which are Of
so rich a pink as to be almost rose
colored, 1t is said. They are of exceed
ingly rare beauty and are much sought
after by collectors.
Tadpole's unromantic name comes
from it's being a favorite place for
young frogs. 1t has been known 10y
this title for years, but an effort is now
making to change its name to the still
more unromantic one of Clayville
nond.

SPARROW AND ELEPHANT.
A Contest That Was Decidedly
UNEQUAL.

A Contest That Was DSctGSdly

A pugnacious sparrow the other day
few into the elephant house in the
Central park menagerie and began pick
ing up the crumbs from the table of the
only elephant then inside. TheAmam-
moth and midget apparently did not
see each other for some time, says the
New York Herald, until the former, in
shifting his position, nearly placed his
Donderous foot on the latter. The
lighting little specll of fuss and feath-
ers evidently accepted this thoughtless
act as a challenge to battle, and at once
flew in the elephants face. The great
beast looked astonished, and, sending
small cyclone through his trunk
raised such q cloud of hay and dust that
the bird was lost sight Of.
When the air cleared the biped was
seen on the quadruped's back. A shake
of the elephants loosely fitting, tough
though sensitive hide frightened the lit
tie fellow, who hoped to the floor and
looked into the face Of his antagonist
Thus they stood, as though trying 10
recover breath, for few seconds, when
the elephant reached out his trunk to-
ward the sparrow. The bird, with out
stretched wings and rufIled feathers,
threw himself with full force at the
end OF thethreatening proboscis Then
came a gentle blast OF air from the elc-
plants lungs, and the sparrow was
blown against the wall of the house.
The little fellow, without even so much
as q parting look at his huge antag-
onist, mounted to the open window and

The German government has in
course of preparation an exhibit for
the Paris exposition of 1900 which is
expected to surpass anything of the
kind ever attempted by any nation
This statement is made by Consul-Gen-
eral Mason, of frankfort, Germany, in
a report which reached the state depart
ment the other day.
'It is intended" Mr.. Mason says,
chat the exhibit shall be complete.
harmonious picture of the resources and
industries of Germany, down TO the

classified and its position assigned by
an imperial commission, so that dupi-
Gates and everything trivial and inferior
to the best shall be excluded and the
whole display presented in its most
striking and effective form.
''The exhibit promises to be even
greater surprise than was Germany's
at Chicago in 1893, and it will be made
and managed for the express purpose
of showing the merchants of all civil
lied nations what Germany has to SELL
Mr.. Mason reports that Germany is
doing everything possible to extend her
commerce, having recently sent COM
missions to China and Japan and South
America for this purpose. Her trade
with the United States is being fos-
tered as much as possible and he pre-
diets that Germany will continue to
follow this policy in the hope of eventu-
ally being the greatest commercial pow

He was theatric lover, and she didn't
like his style little bit, says the New

He was constant in his devotion,
however, and that made matters worse.
She had tried gentle means to get
rid of him, but he had disregarded
them with painful persistency.
In this moment of her desperation
ne felt it incumbent upon him to pro-
pose to her as men under similar cir
cumstances so often do.

sense at all.

himself tragically at her feet, 81 love

calm determination, ~ will"

Then the dreadful situation in which
his own precipitate folly had placed
him was revealed, and he removed him

A Rorpvord Phenomenon.

The changed conditions of modern So
ciety seem to have struck some of the
lower orders Of animal life. The report
comes from the national military home
at Marion, Ind, that "a common
Shanghai rooster has taken it upon
himself to hatch out brood of chicks
and act as mother and protector to
them. He set on q nest of eggs the
requisite three weeks and Matched out
the fluffy chicks in regular fashion, and
now he seems to be very proud of his
accomplishment. He fondles and pro-
tects them after the fashion of loving
and jealous mother. The story of this
queer ROSTERS peculiar act has brought
many people to the barns to observe the
barnyard phenomenon"

A SCREW LOOSE.

Knoxville Jorrnal.l
At the election held last November,
Virginia cast 1S5, 900 votes for Mckinley
for President. A few days ago the Repub-
hcan State committee held meeting and
decided not to call convention to nomi-
nate a candidate for governor. 1t was a
good deal of responsibility for State
committee to take. 1t should at least have
called convention and have permitted
the Republican people of the State to say
whether or not they would name State
ticket to be voted for at the November
election.
Such an organization as that should
exercise very little influence with the adj
ministration in regard to Virginia, 1t
lacks backbone. Without backbone moth
ing can be won. The Republicans OF
Virginia should keepup their organization.
Without it the party will deteriorate. An
army that disbands to keep from fighting
is likely to be charged with cowardice. 1t
seems very much like mistake for the
Virginia Republicans to surrender before
the battle has opened.
Everybody understands that the Re
publican party in Virginia labors under
grave difficulties. But this is not the time
TO throw down arms and run away. The
Republicans of Virginia should keep up
their organization they should keepin line,
they should show that they are in earnest,
that they are willing to stand up for Re
publican principles. They might not win
this year, but bold fight would strength
en- the party and perhaps weaken the
enemy, Virginia Republicans may say 1t
is not our business. We do not mean to
say that it is; but it looks to us as if they
have made serious mistake.
