The Art of Flower Arrangement in
Japan.

In Japan the art of flower arrange
ment is as highly regarded as music,
poetry. or painting; and in order that one
may become expert therein, 1t IS deemed
necessary to devote quite as much atten-
ton, time and study to this as to any
other form of art. We look upon Hover
arrangement in general as merely the re-
suit of individual taste, but japanese
regards it from a very different point OF
view. He is governed in this accom-
plishment. by numerous and well-dehned
rules which can only be acquired by long
and patient study. 1t would be lmpossl-
bic. without this knowledge, to compose
an arrangement of flowers which would
meet with the approval Of competent
critics. 1t would, in fact, be quite as
hopeless as for q musician to compose
great masterpieces of music without pre-
yious training and careful study. The
art of flower arrangement Is not only
practiced by women and girls, but by
men as well, for il is an accomplishment
indispensable for all who would make
any pretense of learning and culture

NO BONDS FOR
DURKEE ESTATE.
Never Had Any. Pacific Railroad
Securities and Has No Claim
Against Government.

Washington, d. G.. Aug. 22-Treasury
officials are laughing at the story sent
out from Quincy. ILL.,, to the effect that
$264, 10000 would be paid over to a syn
dicate on account of Union Pacific bonds
which once belonged to Charles Durkcc.
The story is an old one and was riddled
by the officials who say all the Pacific
railroad bonds are accounted for, re-
deemed, cancelled, and now in the vaults
of the treasury. A. L Huntington, chief
of the loans and currency, said:
Fifteen or twenty years ago l.. G.
Blaisdell filed a claim at the treasury for
large amount of bonds and cOntended
that they belonged to the Durkec estate.
He named an amount corresponding with
that given in the public debt statement
issued on account of the Union Pacific
railroad. He was told no such bonds
were lodged in the department on account
of Durkee. There is no record of bonds
held ON account of Durkee or anyone
else. The bonds issued in aid of the Pa
citic railroads were put ont by this de-
partment in accordance with law upon
certificates showing the construction of
the railroads. The bonds were delivered
from time to time to different persons
who were named by the railroad auth0ri-
ties as being entitled to receive them. We
have a statement showing to whom tn"
bonds were delivered, and the claim is for
the exact amount of bonds issued

EXTENSIVE NEW INDUSTRY.
Sheep Raising on Waste Pine Lands
a Large Scale.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Aug 21.-ISpe-
cial. IA company of Eau Claire capital
lists has been formed and arrangements
are now being made to convert Il large
section of the cut-over pine lands of
Northern Wisconsin into stock farms.
One tract of land in the extreme northern
portion of this county. known as the
Flamheau farm, and comprising over
1000 acres. Is already being stocked by
Eugcne Shaw. When all the proposed
buildings are completed and fences built.
it will be the largest and finest stock
farm in Northern Wisconsin. This is
but the first step toward redeeming what
has heretofore been supposed to be worth
less lands, as evidenced by the fact that
in nearly every case these lands were al
lowed to be sold for taxes by the lumber
men, who. after removing the pine there
from. were satisfied that the land was
valueleSs. But Il much contrary opinion
now prevails. and it is but a matter of
few years when all of the northern sec
tion of the Badger state will be dotted
with stock farmS-madC necessary to re-
place the former lumber industry.
