Sophrona J. Munson, of Otisco, in Q letter to tue Tally Times, says that she has succeeded in growing trailing arbu- tus in her garden. She planted it un- der rose bush and protects it with a covering of leaves. The Syracuse Standard recently contained an article on the trailing arbutus, which says;

SOME KANSAS FREAKS.

Kansas is a queer State. Anything can happen there, and many things do happen there For instance, the other dav a carload of household goods ar rived in Atchison addressed to man who was at the depot to receive them. On opening the car woman was found slowed away in the furniture, and the railroad agent demanded full fare from the man on the supposition that he had hid his wife in the car at Chicago for the purpose of beating the company out of the price of a ticket. The man pro- tested that the woman was not his wife. and that she must have entered the car at Kansas City, but the agent was not to be moved and refused to al- low the goods to be taken until the wo- mans fare was paid. Still protesting, the man paid the sum demanded.

She said she didn't keep the girls there with the idea that they could be picked off like plums from a tree by everybody who came along. If the young man loved one of the girls and the girl returned his affection there could be no objection to the marriage. but the idea that he could walk around

nn MILL NOT sELn uIs rorr.

We don't suppose that the Connecti- cut Democrats will attempt to buy any votes this year. They say they haven't any money, and if they had the horror and shame they say they have felt over Republican vote-buying would doubtless forbid them to spend their money in "corrupting the suffrage" But there is talk in New York that the Democrats are going to try to buy a few votes say 75,OOO One man who is evidently afraid that they will or will not tackle him tells beforehand what he is going to do if any offer Is made him. His programme is so com plete and comprehensive that it is worth the attention of all interested in vote-buying or vote-selling. He says: If anybody offers to pay me money to vote for Gerling. I'll take it, whether it's 50 cents or $50, and then I'll vote for Armstrong. Why? First, because MT. Armstrong is a Republi- can and first class man to have in the senate, being honest and true to public interests, and tower of strength against thievery in politics and the Tammany robbers who are try ing to get their clutches on the throat of the great State of New York Sec- ond, because we have the secret ballot and the bribe-giver can never know how the bribe-taker votes. And if he should happen to find out what could he do about it? Nothing at all He wouldn't be in a position to say a word. And it would serve him right. don't believe in buying and selling votes. I wouldn't sell mine for the best farm in Monroe county But I don't know any heater way of punish ing a corruptionist than to take his money and let him whistle for the reconsideration"
 This is solid and highly moral at- titude. If it is initiated by other hon. est voters of New York the Tammany robbers may find that they have been very neatly robbed.

MORE ABOUT MALARIA.

Civilized man has conquered many things, but malaria is so far too much for him, and he is much irritated by the fact that he doesn't even know what malaria is. A powerful attack on the mysteries of malaria is about to be made by some European scientific men, Professor Koch, of Berlin, is one of the scientific men who will take part in the attack. He has studied malaria in In- Italy, and Is now about to send expedi- tions to study it further in New Guinea, East Africa, India, Italy and Greece. His results thus far have been of some value. He finds the malarial levers of Italy and East Africa identical in cause and general character and is of opinion that victory over the whole group of malarious diseases will probably be ob- tained by means of liquid injections of quinine into the pulse vein-an opera tion requiring professional attention. Professor Koch thinks the excessive use of quinine as preventive produces in- directly the "black-water" fever and other evil effects. It is mistake, he thinks, to saturate ones system with quinine by way of anticipation, since the drug weakens the heart and loses it's power when so used. He thinks ar senic cures virulent cases of the inter- mittent type where quinine is power- less.
 The Professor notes the curious fact that women are less subject than men to malaria. On the Gold Coast of Af- rica, where in the last four years men have died like flies, hardly a death has occurred among the women living there. The black-water fever, so deadly to male Europeans, hardly ever attacks women.

Developments In House Gowns.

DeVV1UPIhehts Tn House Gowns.
 The polonaise is at it's best for house wear and for such use very attractive models are not a few. A particularly handsome one was cut down at the neck and set on yoke. It spread open to show the petticoat generously, and had little sleeve caps at the shoulder, the sleeves belonging to the yoke, which matched the petticoat skirt. The open ing of the polonaise extended a little above the belt line, which was pretty notion, and the belt clasped the gar ment snugly. Oh! the overdress is

here, fur sure, though it pretends to be polonaise sometimes. At least bodice and overdress are being made to match, but presently bodice and skirt will be alike, the overdress in contrast, and then will come in the reign of chopped up effects.
 Young women whose fear of such an outcome overcomes any admiration they may feel for deserving polonaise models may find comfort in the home dress of this illustration. It was of gray cashmere trimmed with narrow silk braid, and on the bodice with braided scarlet cloth. As the picture shows, the bodice was of novel cut and altogether the dress will stamp it's wearer as stout opponent of over dresses and all kindred elaborations.
 Chenille is greatly favored as trim ming. Gowns are covered with designs worked out in this instead of in braid, the result being softer and dresser Neck scarfs are edged with rows and scrolls of chenille. Yokes are chenille embroidered Hats are made entirely of chenille, the result being more be- coming in shadow and richness than velvet. Feathers are tipped with che nile. Sashes take chenille fringe at the ends, and so on. For almost any establishment in the way of embroid- cry, chenille is the latest and most graceful material. FLORETTE.
