RARE STONEWORTs.
botanical Gardens Valuable COllec
ton, Which 1t Has Taken Forty
Years to Gather.

1t is not mark of ignorance not
are not objects of beauty, to attract
amateurs, and even scientists have
until recently known comparatively
few specimens of this somewhat re-
markable family. The New York
botanical garden has recently ac-
quired a collection of stoneworts. or
Characeae, which ranks among the
three or four best in the world, re-
ports the New York Tribune. The
gift was made in February by Dr.
Timothy Field Allen, who has devot-
ed more time to the study of the
species than any other man in Amer
lea. For 40 years he spent his spare
moments in searching in pools and
lakes for the thin grasses which
these are the stoneworts-and in
gathering them in from all parts of
the world.
Looking at the sprawiy brewnish-
green water weeds" which make up
collection highly priced by the
garden authorities, the outsider
wonders why scholar should have
devoted his life to accommodating so
much unattractiveness. The grasses
look well enough in the water from
the side of a boat, but are hopeless
when plastered on sheets of paper.
The explanation of it is that these
same ''water weeds" are of great
value to scientists, forming, as they
do, a family more or less apart from
the rest of the plant world, with
unique and remarkable habits. DIR.
Allen has made known to science at
least as many new specimens of
stoneworts as were known when he
began his studies, SO it is no wonder
that the botanical garden feels itself
enriched by the possession of this
collection. AS for those who have
gazed upon it and seen the respect
in which it is held, they will treat
with more respect the weeds which
their oars turn up in their summer
outings this year. The slippery
things do not Handsome much," as
they say in New England, but they
are eminently respectable and dis
tinctly exclusive.

Curious Mexican stone work.

One of the curiosities of the old
city of Guadalupe, Mexico, ise great
column of stone sails rising rom the
upper walls of the cathedral. There
are three sails, one above another,
each with reef points and showing
a stone mast. On the top is a niche
containing the figure of patron
saint. This curious piece of stone
work has an interesting history. One
of the old hidalgos was at sea with
his whole family when terrible
storm arose which threatened to de-
stroy the ship. The don bowed in
prayer TO the Virgin of Guadalupe,
and vowed if she would save the ship
he would make an offering to the
church. The ship was saved and this
curious tower built. 1t can be seen
a long distance at sea, and looks
like a ship under sail.-N. Y. Herald.

Hints ON keeninm linn

People often find their jams do not
keep we'll They sometimes ferment
or turn moldy, and either the fruit, the
place they were stored in or the sugar
is blamed. The fault, however, lies
in themselves. The secret of success
lies in never leaving the preserving pan
for one moment from the commence
ment of the proceedings, and not to
skim the fruit. Put, as a rule, one
pound of sugar to each pound of fruit
and stir the whole we'll from the mo-
ment it is put on the fire. AS the scum
rises and when boiling has begun stir
more vigorously. After a time the
scum begins to boil itself clear, When
quite clear the jam thickens. Then
take the pan off the fire and put the
jam into warmed jars. All the jams
made this way are bright and clear,
even if some of the fruit has been gath-
cred on damp day. Red currants and
raspberry jeilies are managed in the
same way and with the same satisfac-
tory result. Never skim the jelly, but
let it boil itself clear. Fifty minutes
is ample time for preserving ten
pounds of fruit, allowing 20 minutes
for brisk boiling.-Washingt Star.

EASTERN MONEY
Is Trying TO Get Control Of Kentucky Coal
Mines.
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Louisville, KY, June 15.-The "Cour-
ier Journal says: Eastern capitalists
are trying to secure control of every
important coal nine in Kentucky in
order to form ten million dollar com
bination. On next Tuesday a meet
ing will be held in Chicago, when the
preliminary organization will be
formed. 1t will be the idea of the
combination to increase the output of
coal in Kentucky and bring it in more
direct competition with coal mined
in other states.
They have already secured options
on number of large mines and sew
eral thousand acres of land in eastern
Kentucky which contain virgin coal
beds. This land will be developed.
Some of the largest mines now in
operation will be operated to their
fullest capacity and many smaller ones
will be closed.
When the company is organized it
will be capitalized at $2,000,OO0 later
the capital will be increased to $40,
100000. There seems to be no doubt
that the compank will be able to secure
as many mines as it needs.
Karl Berich, of this city, who is
attending to some of the details of the
work of the organization will go to
Chicago Monday next to attend the
meeting and he expects all preliminary
work to be arranged there.

WHAT TIE l-lAI.- CIR SAID.
It Relieved -Four frightened Parents
and They Went nOnle
IiIu2y.

There was an excursion on one of
the railroads a few days ago to a
town in the center of the state. Two
young women who went on the eN-
cursion missed the return excursion
train to Chicago and stood around
in the deserted depot of the country
town in despair, says the Chicago
Tribune.
You see,' said one young woman,
''our fathers and mothers will be at
the depot in Chicago when the train
comes in and they will be frightened
to death when we fail to arrive with
the other eNcursionists. They will
think all manner of bad things have
happened to us. But what can de
do?"
YES" said the other young woman
through her tears, 'if our people
were at home this evening we might
telegraph them, but they were all go
ing downtown to the theater and /
don't know what theater they went
to. After the theater they were GO
ing down to meet us at the train.
They will be simply frightened to
death, and I'm afraid my father will
get on the next train and come. right
down here after us. There are 700 or
500 people on that excursion train
and there will be more than that
number waiting for them at the
depot, besides the crowds going out
on the other trains, so it won't do
any good for us to address our mes
sage to the depot. They would never
get it,"
81 know what to do" suddenly eX-
claimed the other young woman, as
her face shone with the light of a
brilliant inspiration.
"What?" gasped her companion.
"We will send message to the
train caller at the depot in Chicago
and ask him to announce when the
excursion train pulls in that we
missed the train but are safe with
friends mere and will return on the
first train tomorrow morning"
80, that's just the thing" exclaimed
the other maiden, and they hastily
fixed up n telegram and sent il ad-
dressed to the train caller al the sta
| tion.
SO when the excursion train pulled
| into the Chicago depot that night the
eXcursionists and the friends wait
| ing for them were surprised 10 see
| the train caller Chamber up on a
| bench, and in his most stentorian
tones gravely announce:
Limited train for St. Louis on
third track. Cannonball for Toledo
Cleveland, Philadelphia and the east
on first track. Miss Lillian Belleville
and Miss Eugenia Thompkns missed
the excursion train at Bloomfield and
will spend the night with their rela
tives there, Mr.. and Mrs. John Adam,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Phil Allen. The
Young women are safe and happy ant
will return on the first train to-mor
row morning. Passengers for Madi
son, St. Paul, Minneapolis and th'
northwest this way"
And four frightened parent,
breathed easy again and went hom'
happy.
