 The Magyar nTnon.

There is no people in the world which has not yet achieved it's inde- pendence that loves liberty and na- tionalism more intensely than the Magyars of Hungary. In his Throne Makers" William Roscoe Thayer dwells upon the spirit which is univer- sal among them. Like any Magyar patriot, Kossuth could count on one of the most powerful of allies-the race hatred between his conntrymen and the Austrlans. In the Magyar lan- guage the very word German signt- fled vile, base, despieable. There was a Magyar proverb to the effect that German is the only language God does not understand" The proprietor of a Hungarian theater once produced what he considered fine piece of scen- cry, in which was represented full moon with round, fat, elean-shaven face. When it rose. the audience hissed and shouted: Down with the German moon!" The manager took the hint Next night there rose a swarthy-cheeked, black -mustachedo orb. Hurrahs burst from every mouth, anc all cried: Long live our true Mag var moen,"

One of the men gave him push; he fell all his length on the deck. There was not blemish on his body, yet he was quite dead, and was thrown overheard. The other, a lad, who had the match in his hand to fire his gun, in the act of applying it shot took off his arm; it hung by 8 small piece of skin. The match fell to the deck. He looked to his arms and seeing what had hap pened, seized the match in his left hand and fired off the gun before he went to the cockpit to have it dressed.

 How to Keep Cut Flowers.
 4 lady who has spent a good deal of time in Japan says that she has often kept cut flowers for an abnormally long period by burning their stems with piece of woad-not with a match, be it observed, CT the sulphur would be injurious to the flower The Japanese say that the charring process. causes the water to penetrate the stem and sustain the flower. Whatever the reason, it is satisfactory to learn that by charring the stems of ehrysanthe~ nuns We may keep them in good con dition for month or six weeks.

"Jaclx" Cooke Delivers His Last Ser
mon at seattle.

Jack Cooke. the boy preacher, Of
England, who has been conducting re-
vival services in the First Baptist church
for the last two weeks made his final ap-
pearance at Seattle last night. With his
father and brother he leaves today for
Spokane, where he will hold meetings.
Thence he will go to Portland and from
there will come to Chautauqua. in this
county. where he will hold services dur
ing the state convention of Chautauqua
circles June 10 to 49,
In the revival meetings held by the
Cookies in Seattle the preacher has had
many arguments with some of his hear
ers, and has always came out ahead. His
preaching has greatly impressed the
church people of the city and has drawn
large congregations.
For his final sermon last night In the
First Baptist church the seating capacity
Of the place was not sufficient to accom-
modate his congregation. The walls
We're lined with standing people, while
the entrance to the church was almost
blocked. The boy fully maintained the
standard of his other addresses.
In the afternoon he spoke under the
auspices of the Y. NJ. C. A. at meeting
for men.

There is no reason that any man should
