Male and Female Oake.

Mr.. Knight, the eminent English bot
an;st, has male some curious and inter-
esting Investigations on the production
of flowers of different sex in the various
species of the oak tree. He shows that
as a rule that species of tree bears the
male and female flowers on separate in
dividuals, but that these different ;ndi-
viduals may be made to produce flowers
of either sex at will. In forcing the fe-
male oak to produce male flowers, and
vice versa, Mr.. knight employed light
and heat. regulating the supply of both
to suit himself and according to the end
in view. This remarkable series of ex-
periments proved that, if the heat was
excessive as compared with the light,
male flowers only appeared. On tie
other hand, if the light was excessive
and the temperature comparatively
low, nothing but female flowers were
produced. In other species of trees
which bear the male and female flowers
on separate individuals the experiments
of the botanist were not SO conclusive
as in the case of the oaks. However, it
is believed that these investigationsvill
finally lead to the conclusion that in
the majority of trees and plants the
cultiyator will be able to produce sexes
at will.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

story OF dewey.

Frank Lombard, who returned
to San Francisco from Manila
during the. holidays, tells good
story concerning Admiral Dewey.
To newspaper reporter, be said:
I'm Cavite, you know, there
are no dockage facilities. Vessels
lie at anchor and native freight
boats carry things to and from the
shore. One of the native officials
contracted with Dewey to carly
stuff to the flagship. After doing
bis. duty he dressed himself in the
latest European fashion to visit the
Admiral-silk hat, white shirt, era
vat. cuffs. etc.
"When he presented his bill
Dewey remarked that there were
numerous overcharges that he could
not pay. The freighter protested
that the Admiral was wrong, and
that he had agreed to the terms.
Dewey politely replied that be
would pay the original bill, nothing
more. Mistaking tae quiet, gentle
manly manner Of the Admiral, the
freighter became insulting in his
manner and insisted upon payment.
With slight movement of the
head the Admiral remarked to the
watch: Drop that man overheard,
and in a minute the plug hat was
floating in Cavite Bay, while the
insolent native was swimming to
his vessel"

Paris Paper Bewails the Future Of the
United States.
A late dispatch from the New
York Herald from Paris says:
The Temps tonight draws a
gloomy picture of the future of the
United States. 1t says the United
States can not hide the fact that
they have said 'good-by forever to
the idyllic era wherein they dis
pensed with the regular standing
army and laughed at the heavy
burdens imposed upon the nations
of the eastern continent by their
International situation.
"There is not democrat, not q
friend of the principles that regu-
tate modern society, that does not
deplore bitterly the incubation with
a spirit of conquest of territory and
expansion of democracy that
hitherto has been peaceful and lib
eral.
President Mckinley may say
farewell for free America, for peace
and good will, reforms, economy,
international progress and self-gov-
ernment."

sURREHEDR OF HAVANA.


The sovereignty of Cuba passed
from Spain to the Uni.ed States at
noon Sunday. The form of trans
fer was very simple, consisting Of
only an exchange of speeches in
the saloon of the palace, the haul
ing down of the Spanish flag and
the raising in its stead of the flag
of the United States on the flagstaff
on the palace roof. Salutes were
fred from the heavy guns of the
forts and the warships before and
after the change of fags.
The ceremonies as agreed upon
by the Spanish and American COM
missioners were conducted with o
becoming simplicity which in itself
doubtlessly added to the impressive
ness of the spectacle-the lowering
of Spain's last flag in the West In
dies. Just before noon the Ameri-
can war vessels in the harbor fired
a salute Of 81 guns in honor of the
Spanish flag. Promptly at II
o'clock the Spanish flags on the
various public buildings were low
cred and immediately thereafter the
Stars and Stripes were hoisted over
Ell Moro and the public buildings
of the city, while Spanish artiller-
lists at Cabanas fortress saluted the
American flag with 81 guns.
While these international corrte-
sizes we're being exchanged the
American and Spanish commits
sioners assembled at the palace
where the formal transfer toek
place. General Castellanos, the
Spanish captain general, surren.
dered the government to the United
States commissioners, who immed-
lately transferred it to the general
commanding.

TICKET WITHOUT A PLATFORM.
Colonel Watterson dominates Dewey
and Lee.

Henry Watterson, in leading
editorial in the Louisville (Ky.)
Courier-J Journal, January LIST, under
the caption, "The New Year Out
look for the Democratic Party
dominates Admiral Dewey for pres
ident and General Fitzhugh Lee for
vice-president.. In part he says:
"To come down to hard fact, old
horse sense, sitting in the rocker,
the issue of free. silver being rele-
gated to the limbo of busted shades,
the tariff issue peacefully reposing
upon the shelf, where the Cleveland
administration left it to wait for
free trade under new conditions
the season of famine ended and the
season of plenty arrived-what are
the democrats to do for national
platform and ticket?
"There is but one thing for them
to do. The voters have about made
up their minds that party pledges
are fabricated chiefly to be broken
Let the democrats, banking on this
circumstance, put up a ticket with
out a platform; let them nominate
candidates for president and vice
president who are a platform in
themselves, and If they can induce
the great admiral and the gallant
general to accept, here is the card
to win with.
"For President-George Dewey
of Vermont.
"For Vice President-Fitzhugh
Lee Of Virginia.
"PlatfOrm-The Stars and Stripes,
God bless them.
Even now the republican leaders,
who rarely fail to take time by the
forelock, and who never let go their
grip upon the shore line, are plan
ming to make their campaign OF
1900 on the broad principle of ma
tional unifcation and expansion.
They are not going to handicap
themselves with any ancient plat
form rubbish. High tariff is no
longer wanted by the manufacturers
for whom it was invented. The
bloody shirt, having served its turn,
has gone to the old clothes basket.
The president knows his business.
"At the opportune moment We
shall see William Mckinley and
Joseph Wheeler march down to the
footlights, hand in hand, the flag
above them-beneath them emblaz
oned on strip of red, white and
blue, The land we love from end to
end, or words to that effect. And
then what2 What are the demo
Gratis going to do about it? How
are they going to meet it?"

The party press, with a pro-
nounced republican accent, is ex-
travagant in its utterances in an
effort to pen-picture the mighty
industrial prosperity of the country.
1t requires ten figures to note the

1t is not necessary to question the
correctness of the figures, but it is
apparent from the agonizing cry oil

A letter from President Mckinley
has been received at Macon, Ga,
requesting half dozen badges of
the Confederate veterans, the same
as the one pinned on him on his
recent visit to Macon. That is an
other one of McKinley's election
eering schemes. He's going to keep
those old ex-rebels in line and
shouting glory until after the pres
idential campaign, if he has to put
confederate badges on the whole

North Carolina (who is not confederate
veteran) to debauch the manhood OF the

AN EMBARRASSING MISTAKE.

rhs Young Man Thought she Was
Be41Ar.
He was very busy, no doubt, ponder
ms some deep subject. He strobe along
with his hat well over his brow and nus
eyes fixed upon the ground. he had
been accosted several times in the block
bv beeears and had his train OF thought
interrupted by stopping to fling them
coin.
He was vaguely aware that figure
had stopped in front of him and he said,
rather testify:
81 haven't any change.
The gasp Of breath which caused him
to look up produced an exclamation
from his lordship. Standing before him
was a fairer vision than is usually be-
held in Wall street. She was a very
charming young woman, wearing the
very choicest of grass.cloth gowns,
under which cleaned a dark-rose silk.
She held her pretty parasol well away
from her face as she looked haughtily
at him, and her cheeks grew crimson
under her veil, until they rivaled the
American Beauty rose she wore at her
belt.
He tried to apologize, but before he
could summon the proper words she
turned to man near, who looked as II
he would be willing to spend his life in
her service, and asked him the way to
her lawyers Office. She evidently was
in a part of New York new to her, and
there was not messenger boy or POI
liceman in sight.
With glance of triumph at the first
onc he gave her the necessary directions,
prolonging them as much as he dared
that he might look into the beautiful
eyes upturned to his own.
He raised his hat when she said, with
q bewitching smile: "Thank you so
much" and disappeared in the crowd.
