The hottest town, under yearly
contract with Monsieur Caloric, in
the United States, is said to be Rio
Grande City, Texas, where the aver
age temperature is a trifle over 70
degrees. The Junes there have av-
eraged for seven years nearly "a. The
coolest city is st. Vincent, Mimi,
with mean temperature of 81 de-
grees. Our hottest place by the job
is Fort Mcdowell, Arizona, where
l19 is not uncommon in June, and
our coolest is Poplar Prairie, Mon,
where 63 below zero is record. The
hottest place in the world, north of

Poisonous Flowers.

liz seems shame to connect
thoughts of poison with, for instance,
such delicate and lovely things as
that baby of the flowers, the snow
drop, as the narcissus with its deli
cious breath, as the hyacinth and the
jonquil. But one is obliged to see to
it that the children do not put the
bulbs of these flowers into their
mouths. The cxalis also is not safe
thing to put between the lips; and
all the lobelias will produce dizziness
aud general disaster The monks
hood, too, and the beautiful fox
glove as well, are noxious affairs from
which powerful drugs are obtained,
more than a few drops of their ex-
tracts being usually a fatal dose.
Certain of the crOcuses if eaten, even
if nothing be swallowed but the
juice. produce vomiting; the bulb of
the intricately beautiful lady's-slip-
per pOlsous externally, as the nox-
ious ivy dogwood and sumach do;
the quaint old jack-in-the- pulpit, al
though not garden plant, is anoth-
err enemy to health and life; and so
also is the marvellous Queen Anne's
lace, which now and then will creep
in through the paling, and looks so
enchanting when far and wide it
embroiders field aud roadside. The
laughing little buttercup, that might
be drop of visible sunlight, is by
no means as innocent as ii looks; the
COW In the pasture knows enough to
avoid it; that, and all its cousins, the
rich, profuse paeonies, the dazzling
blue lsSSxspdrs, and the rest, are full
of toxic properties. The oleander-
tree, that is set outdoors when spring
comes and that lines the streets of
various of our Southern cities, is an-
other hive of deadly poison, The
superb catalpatree, towering with its
great leaves and its masses of white
and fragrant flowers, is a charming
thing in the garden, but its bark is
exceedingly injurious; and the lab
urnum, that looks like a fountain of
gold leaping into the sun, is poison
in leaf and flower and seed, and even
the grass beneath it is best thrown
away when cut, instead of being fed
to csttle.-Harper's Bazaar.

Great Fortunes Overrated.

The fortunes of millionaires are al
most always overrated. Senator Scott,
of Erie, Penn, was saio to be worth
$12, 100000, but at his death left on
ly half that sum. Eckley Coke, of
Drifton, Penn, was said to be worth
S12, 100000, but left $1,000, O0O.-
The Harmony Society, near Pitts
burg, Pa, was said to be worth $780,
100000, but at the death of the lead
er some years ago the estate was found
to be worth $lSO,OOO. George w.
Childs, of Philadelphia, was placed
in the book of estimate as worth $l5,-
100000, but the estate was valued at
100000 at his death. Havemeyer,
the sugar refner of New Yory city,
was said to be worth 100000,
but left 100000 estate.
The most overrated man of all was
Barney Barnato, the diamond mine
owner. At his death it was reported
that he left an estate greatly exceed
ing $lOO,OOO,OOO, bat at its settle
ment it proved to be worth not quite
S5,000,OO0. Senator Brice, instead
of being worth $40, 100000, left only
5000, 200. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould
however were the exceptions, the for
mer died in 1885, leaving "A fortune
of $2OO,OOO,OOO, and the latter in
1892, leaving $72,OOO,OOO, sums at
which their fortunes were estimated
before their deaths.

5000 NEW ORCHIDS.-The London

successful prosecution of the search
of Sir George King and Mr.. Robert

thusiastic savants, who have been en-.
gagged in the search for several years

They have been particularly fortu.
nate in their search in the tropical

The other day woman drove into
Emile Zola's street with a gigantic
bouquet in the vehicle which she had
chartered. Having asked a police
man where M. lola lived, she was d.
rected to the house, and alighting
before it, she took the flowers to the
chief door of No. 81 bis, united

PENSION FRAUDS.-The discovery
of fraudulent scheme in Memphis
to secure a pension for a woman as
the widow of a soldier who was not
only not married to the soldier, but
had met him only once in her life, is
doubtless but one of thousands of
such abuses that have escaped detec-
ton. In this instance it is stated that
the papers were made out in due form
with elaborate detail and witnessed
and sworn to as the law requires. So
clear and just case was apparently
made that the examining board were
about to recommend the grant, which
called for payment of about $4,000
when the Commissioner, by institu-
ting special nvestigation, made dis
covery of the fraud. When fraud in
one case is discovered only by such
extraordinary and special effort we
may we'll believe that the government
has been wickedly imposed upon IN
thousands of other instances. Com
missioner Evans is doing good work
in fighting pension frauds, and the
more exactIng and severe be can bt
in this matter the better service b,
will render.-Nashville Banner.

Clay Evans, the Commissioner of the
Pensions of the United -Sta.r-es has
oeen muc1 ~o1fe circumspect in the
discharge of his duties than most of
his predecessors in that office have
been.
So far as precedents and political
pressure would permit him, he has
held the bars down against unwor-
thy claimants. and for so doing a
great howl has been raised against
him by pension attorneys and some
Grand Army organizations.
Those disgruntled men have exer-
cised baneful influence in Congress,
and, altogether, Commissioner Ev-
ans lot has not been a happy one.
Among those who have been among
his detractors is General Henderson.
who, 1t seems, is TO be the next Speak
er of the House. But we are glad
to say Henderson has not only dis
covered that he has been in the
wrong, but has come out boldly and
said so. In speech made by him
recently at Dubuque, he owned thai
he had done Evans injustice, and
added: 81 want publicly to acknow-
ledge the great wrong / have done
