DAFFoDILs.

Among the spring flowers none is Sc welcome as the daffodil, that with It's rich yellow and green makes a vivid spot at the corner flower stands. The ancient Greeks held these blooms Tn high esteem and a crown of the golden blossoms woven in honor of the gods was placed upon the heads of the dead.
 It was said that Proserpine was gathering daffodils when she was car ried of by Pluto. and for that reason this gay flower became the symbol of death. Homer spoke i'll of it and de. clared stupor, madness and death were it's attributes.
 Daffodil is a corruption of affodilly. which is derived from Asphodelus. It's other name is narcissus and the legend of the latter name is well known how Narcissus, for whom nymph died, was punished by seeing his own face in pool of water and becoming so infatuated with it that he was spell bound to the spot till he pined away and died and was changed Into the flower that bears his name today.

This is to prevent the banks from being tnronged with gangs of hoodlums Early one October morn ing the editor of one of the great Chi. cago dallies appeared at a west side park with friend. both equipped with nsnlng outfits of the most approved pattern. They secured a boat and then the editor inquired if there were any live minnows on hand. The keep CT Of the boathouse inspected his bait bucket and found just one, a diminu- i've specimen, about an inch and half Tn length. He fshed this out and handed it over. Throwing him a silver half dollar and telling him to keep the change, the editor took the minnow climbed into the boat and rowed out to the middle of the lake, where he nshed for half an hour without result. Al the end of that time he hauled in ms line, looked carefully at the min now, took pencil and note book from his pocket, did little figuring. and returned to the shore. What did you get?" he was asked when he ap- peared at the office later in the day. One fish" he replied. "and it cost me szOO pound" This, 1t is believed is the highest price ever paid for live fish in Chicago.

ST EEL BEAMS
Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use Oi
 Electricity.


 During the reconstruction of an of flee building recently in Chicago an interesting use was made of the elec- trio current in cutting in two clus- ter of half dozen heavy steel beams which it was necessary to remove. These beams were of the ordinary shape and 15 inches deep. Owing to the difficulty of getting at the beams at the places where they were to be cut, special saws would have been re- quired had the beams been cut in the ordinary way, and it was estimated that the work would take two men about twelve days. time and cost about hack saws, method was adopted such as scientific burglars invented for get ting into safe and vault doors of steel. A current of electricity was brought in from the electric lighting wires in the street to do the work. The posi- tive terminal wire was attached to the steel framework of the building, to which the beams were riveted, and the negative wire was attached to a carbon point one and half inches in diameter. which was provided with wooden handle to enable the operator to direct it along the beams at the places where they were to be cut. An asbestos shield protected the operators body from the heat and black specta- cles protected his eyes. In twelve hours the beams were severed, with an expenditure of only about five-horse power in electric current, and the work was done by an ordinary work nan.

CHILDREN'S SOCIETY.
Another Girl Rescued From a Life
of Shame

The Sacramento Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, through
its officers, says that number of way
ward girls seem to have an idea that
the society has no jurisdiction over
them if they are more than 16 years
of age. This is an error and the So
ciety will continue to demonstrate that
by the law it has jurisdiction over min
ors whose conduct calls for interfer-
ence by it,
A case of the kind developed on Tues
day night A father applied to the
society to assist him in reclaiming a.
wayward daughter just over is years
of age. Officer Healy sought with the
father for the girl. He ascertained
that young man, who is a solicitor for
a business establishment, knew of the
whereabouts of the runaway. The Off
Ger required this man to tell him where
the girl was. The man denied hav-
ing any control over her, but directed
the officer to a clearinghouse on K
street. Arrived there the girl had
taken alarm and flown to other quar-
ters.
Information led the officer to suspect
that she might be at a certain lodging
house on j street, above Seventh. Ac-
companied by the father, he FASTENED
there. AS he entered the hall a tele-
phone bell was ringing. Healy took
down the receiver and responded in a
feigned voice, and in reply there came
a call for the girl in the voice of the
young man referred to. The officer re-
sponded, to draw him out. Then came
the message ''Healy is coming after
you, lock the door, Sure that he was
on the right track the officer found the
room wanted, and secured entrance by
announcing himself as her young
friend. But the ruse was discovered,
and when he got into the room the
girl was found hidden under the bed.
Two men were in the room.
The girl was secured, but by the earn
est quest of the father, she was turned
over to him and taken home. with the
warning that further waywardness
would result in her being sent to the
reform school.
Officer Healy says this is but one of
many cases of sorrow into which homes
are plunged by the waywardnesa~ of
children who are searched out by the
society and either sent to reform insti-
tutionS or returned to their parents. as
the circumstances warrant In a
large number of cases it is pleasant to
record the interference of the society
