CorIr.crev Seed.


There are some seeds which literal
" cori>screw themselves into the
ground" The most remarkable In
stance is perhaps that Of the Spina
pennata, a beautiful south European
grass. The actual seed Is small, with
sharp point and stiff short hairs
pointing backward. The top end Of
the seed is produced into a fine. twist
ed. corkscrewlike rod. which Is fol-
lowed by n plain cylindrical portion,
ending I'm a long, delicate feather. the
whole being more than foot In length
Owing to this feather the seed falls to
the earth point downward and sticks
In the ground.
But even II the seed should settle on
Its side, damp by acting on the hairs
attached to IT, causes II to rise up till
It's point Is downward. If shower
romes on or dew falls. the spiral un.

ward pointing hairs. 1t usually presses
against some blade Of grass or other
obstacle. with the result that the seed
is pressed into the ground.
On the spiral becoming dry again. II
curls up. and the seed Is not drawn
out OF the ground owing to Its back
ward pointing hairs. but the spiral and
the feather are easily drawn down. On
the return OF damp the spiral again un-
winds and, acting as before, drives the
seed still farther down until at last II
Is quite buried.

A CoupIe of shocks


"Where have you been, Mr. Rockyr
demanded the boss.
"oh, sir" replied Rocky mendacious-
ly. my landlady Is n most excellent
woman. and she has been so III that !
had to stay at home 10 nurse her"
This excuse went. and the boss turned
away. The following day Rocky felt
like he had sand I'm his head. and a
headache as long as rainy Sunday
In the country developed. He staid at
home, sending the excuse that his
landlady was dead and he had to at
tend the funeral Later I'm the day a
woman entered the bookstore and In
quired for MFR. Rocky.
"The reason | came here" she ex-
planned. "is because nm his landlady,
and not having seen him for n week |
became uneasy and called TO inquire
about him."
"Hls landlady" gasped the boss.
"Why, woman, he's attending your fu.

IL was shock TO the poor woman TO
find she was dead. but n shock OF an-

DOES THE CONSTITUTION FOLLOW THE
FLAG1

EDITOR JoURSAL;-Under ordinary
circumstances an apology would be due

merely asking II the constitution goes
with the fiag--or, In other wordi, II the
powers Of the United States can bs ex.
erclsed where they have not been grant.
ed. But when we see the leaders OF a
great party eOntending for rights and
powers not given by the constitution, on
the ground that those powers exist in.
dependent OF II, an inquiry OF this kind
becomes Of momentous importance.
Onr governmenment was organized
under the constitution, "to provide for
the common defense, TO promote the
general welfare, and 10 secure the
blessings OF liberty" 20 our people. IL
provides that the powers Of government
shall be reposed in THREE departments:
the executive, the legislative and the
judicial. And the functions and
prerogatiyes Of each department are spe-
ciacally defined in order TO conserve the
purposes set forth in the preamable to
the constitution.
II has been recognized by the supreme
court and by the people for more than
100 years, that these three depa rtments
OF government are independent OF each
other, and that they must be restricted
TO the prerogatives specifically given
them, or necessarily implied in their
grants OF power, in order to prevent
encroachments of one department upon
another, and Of one or all OF them upon
the rights OF the people. To put the
matter conosely, The constitution was
adopted in good faith "to secure the
blessings of liberty" and not 10 create a
government OF unknown powers which
might be used for purposes OF oppression,
II was Intended for iustsueh emergencies
as the present. when some one in
trusted with power should seek 10
abuse il. II was intended 10 prescribe
boundaries beyond which the official
servants OF the people cannot 20. For
these purposes, II was required that
congress should have the sole power TO
declare war, coin money, regulate com.
merce, and do all other things which it
was considered dangerous 20 intrust 10
nIen In an unrestrained posihon. Even
the legislative branch OF the government
-Congress-oannot levy taxes, except
when the rate OF taxation is made equal
and uniform throughout the United
States.
The leaders Of the Republican party
now contend, that the government can
control tho Philippine islands without
any roierenoe 10 the constitution. Daniel
