Green Carnation.

The green carnatiOn is again the rage
in Paris. 1t has even become a science,
and women go and eagerly follow at
chemist whose speciality is the artificial
celebration OF flowers. 1t may be recall.
ed that it was quite by accident that
the green carnallon came to light. A
young girl who was making flowers for
a milliner, let fall one day into a vase
where there was bouquet of white
carnations, few drops OF aniline with
which she was painting the foliage of
rose. In a moment, to her astonish-
ment, she saw that her carnations had
turned delicate green. This discovery
was at once utilized by her lover, who
OF the morrow sent bouqets ofgreen car
nations to market, where they sold for
sixty cents apiece, but the feast was of
short duration. The municipal labora-
tory OF Paris got wind of the affair and
denounced what it called a dangerous
fraud, as the mere smelling of these
strangely disguised flowers had poison
Gus effect. Professor Dubois of the
Sarbonne shows now that the dis
covery was NOT new one In 1909 a
man by the name of Magna, having
plunged white tube-roses in the Juice of
phylotaque, obtained pale pink flowers
OF the most charming hue. He made a
great deal of mones by ii, as did an in
genious Italian who made black flowers
by keeping their stems in ink.

be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really is Benson's, and not worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
A plaster is the best form of external rem

physicians and druggists, and multitude
OF people no man can number, have settled
that. You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cured by Benson's Plaster.
Do not assume that Belladonna, Capsi-

Care of Palms.

Once every week the surface of the
leaves should be sponged off. Gloves
should be worn when the operation is
performed, as contact with the hand
turns the edges of the leaves yellow.
Palms should not be watered from
above unless they are Immediately
wiped off, as each drop of moisture al
lowed to stand on the leaf causes it to
tutn yellow. When a room is swept or
busted the plants should be covered, as
the dust will otherwise settle on the
leaves and clog the pores, through which
the plant breathes. Most palms and
ferns do not like gaslight, and often
when left in an atmosphere charged with
it, will droop. The windows should be
opened and the room we'll aired twice a
day. The plants should be turned
around each day so that one side after
another is exposed to the light, as the
leaves will naturally grow out toward
the sunlight.

The Grand Old Man of Canada.

Scotland has given the world as many
inspiring biographies as any other civil
lied country. An example is "the grand
old man" OF Canada, Baron Strathcona,
and Mount Royal of Glencoe and Mon
treal. Eighty years ago, Lord Strath.
coma was born as plain Donald Alexan-
der Smith, i'll Archieston, Scotland In
his parental home he laid the foundation
stones OF his successful career, Integrity,
thoronghness, and diligence. This last
word is engraved on his seal, and has
been his latest ito. The figure on the
seal is beaver gnawing tree, the stem
of which is more than half cut through,
indicative OF the activity and determine
ton that have marked the man In 1888,
Strathcona made his way to Canada.
He entered the service OF the Hudson
Bay Company of Montreal, and was I'M
mediately sent to the inhospitable shores
Of Hudson Bay and Labrador. For
thirty years he served his employers in
these cutposts of civilization. His home
was often tent on an island of ice,
practically without shelter. His COM
panions were the wild Indians and
Eskimos. So faithfully did he adhere to
his motto that promotions came fast,
and he soon became governor of the COM
pany. One of Lord Strathcona's earliest
public services was rendered during the
Northwest troubles of 1S69-1S7O, when
Louis Re, hali-breed started a pro-
visional government at Winnipeg, then
known as Fort Garry. Donald A.
Smith, as Lord Strathcona was then
known, was one of the commissioners
appointed to deal with the insurgents,
and his excellent work in that connec-
ton is gratefully remembered by the
Canadian people. Manitoba was soon
proclaimed province, and Mr.. Smith
was elected to its first legislature. He
then received his first order from Queen
Victoria, that OF Knight Commander of
St. George. The completion of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway proves that Lord
Strathcona's pluck and courage were
never put to a sterner test. When the
financial outlook was the darkest, and
the abandonment of the project was
rumored, Lord Strathcona urged the
necessity of the railway, and it was com
pleted in FIVE years, instead of ten. The
Strathcona home, i'll MontI cal, has been
a center of social lie In commercial
circles, Lord Strathcona is president of
the Bank OF Montreal, and a director of
many kindred institutions. He donated
to Montreal, in conjunction with Lord
Mount Stephen, the Royal Victoria Hos
pital, for all creeds. The position now
occupied by Lord Strathcona-that OF
Canadian High Commissioner in Lon
don,--is one OF the most important in
the gilt of the Canadian people, and its
incumbent has proved himself to be fully
qualified to fill the office. During the
recent war between Great Britain and
the South African republics, Lord Strath-
coma provided, out OF his own means
at cost of nearly $1,000, O00,-lor the
enrolment, equipment and organization
OF five hundred expert horsemen from the
Canadian Northwest, who have since
become famous as The Strathcona
Horse. - Frank Weigh in Success.

command of the South Atlantic station
next spring 1t was expected that Schley
would remain on that station until near
the time of his retirement next tall, but
he does not feel that the command is
commensurate with his merits and has
indicated a desire to come home No
decision has been reached regarding
new assignment for Schley, but it is pos

LESSON THOUGHTS.


Not to be always ready may he to be un-
prepared at the one critical moment.
The locomotive may be wrecked at
single inst ant of its engineers inattention
and the soul may be eternally wrecked
during single moment of unprepared-
ness for its Lords coming.
If we would be ready for Gods heaven
ly reward we must be constantly ready
for his earthly service.
SELECTIONS.
Many man is willing to hold on to
Christ, who is not at all willing that
Christ should hold on to him. To be
possessed by Christ is a greater thing
than to possess Christ Watch, that
possessed by him. his coming may only
be the summons of one who has, after all,
always been with US, to take our pilgrim
scrip and staff, and follow him.
People who are ready for death are
perhaps as rare as those who are ready
promptly and cheerfuIy to take up some
church or Christian work, when duty
calls or opportunity offers, Would not
the discipline of the latter prepare us for
the state of the former? If we are in
dustriously working with noble motive
for our Master, we shall be ready when
He comes.
We should make our plans as though
we were to live forever. We should live
as though we were to die today.
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
The Lord is coming by and by
l am waiting for the Master.
When Jesus comes to reward his servants.
My days are gliding swiftly by.
1t may be at noon v hen the day is awaking
Why do you hnger?

Henry Booker tried to kill his brother
William, mayor of this place, with
shotgun, and then a mob chased Hen
ry out of town. Henry who lived In
New Albany, came to Corydon to see
his brother about small debt. The
visitor called at the mayors house and
was ushered in. The argument hinged
on little matter of cents. Suddenly
the mayor emerged from his own
house, running. His brother Henry
followed after him, carrying a shot
gun. iii get you," he shouted as they
swung into the street, with William
headed for the jail. 1t was just two
squares to the Jail, but William, a
jealous official, beat trouble there by
half block. The citizens, enraged at
the attack upon their mayor, began to
gather. A crowd soon formed, some
Of them bringing guns. The county
line is about mile from the Jail. In
the second chase Henry Booker was
the front man and sheriff and angry
sitizens the pursuers. Again the front
man won. He was over the line before
the others could get in shotgun range.
Then his brother William came out of
Jail.

Havana, April 14-At private ses-
sion last night the convention-1S to 10
ADOPTED a motion expressing the
opinion that the convention is opposed
to the Plat amendment on account of
the terms in which some of the clauses
are drawn, and the contents of others.
After voting this it was proposed to
oissolVe the convention. The question
OF sending commission to Washing
ton was not voted upon. A couserva-
tive delegate. who previously favored
a commission, says that those moder-
ates who favored it will now oppose it
as Delng useless after last nights vote.
1t is considered that the conventions
action is half-hearted way of reject
ing the Platt amendment, and that it
was largely due to the animosity of
some of the delegates against Gen.
wood. they being anxious to show him
that he was wrong in his forecast that
the convention would adopt the

Russia and Japan over Mancnuria APP
pears to have been averted through,
the action of the japanese government,
communicated to the state department
yesterday. in acceating Rus.ias as
surances, to the powers that she would
not insist on the Chinese rlenipote..-
tiaries agreeing to the Manchuriam
convention, and would give pledges:
that the Russian troops would be,
withdrawn from that part of China as
soon as order had been established
there. Mr.. Takharu, the japanese
minister, called at the state depart
ment yesterday afternoon to inform
Secretary Hay that the Russian as
surances were accepted by Japan and
were entirely satisfactory. The course
Of Japan is particularly gratifying to
this government because it means that
war has been averted through the in
dorsement Of the position assumed by
the United States that Russia's as
surances should be accepted in good
faith.
While the action Of the other powers
has not been disclosed, it is believed
here that the action of two strong ma
tions like Japan and the United States
will have the effect of inducing those
governments that have not determined
the character of their response to Rus
sta to adopt the conservative view
that has been taken in Toxic and

after having been in session for seven
ty-seven days. The net results of its
work are shown in 305 new laws. with
120 bills in the governors hands, that
will become laws should he attach his
signature. The final sessions were
formal, the only incident being a
sharp debate in the house on the well
worn bribery theme.
The senate met at 10 o'clock and re-
ceived the report of it's legislative ex-
penses committee. A few gratuities
were conferred.
Things did not go so smoothly in the
house. DR.. Dorsey called up the
bribery charges by motion to ex-
punge Representative Laybourn's res
olutions of censure directed at Repre-
sentatives Washburn and Jacobson
from the journal. Representative Lay
bourn replied. and with considerable
heat maintained that in justice to him
self and other members that suffered
from the improved charges, the reso-
lutions should stand. After a general
argument. he carried his point.
1t is probable that the legislature
will convene in February, 1902. for a
special session, but it cannot meet ex-
cept upon the call of the governor
which will not be issued until late in
the year.

Washington. April IA. - The report
that Aguinaldo fears assassination at
the hands of the late Gen. Iuna's fol-
lowers explains to army officers the
reason why he has been kept at Gen.
MacArthur's palace.
Gen. Luna was one of the best in.
surgent leaders who followed Aguinal-
do into making war upon the Ameri-
cans He was bold and aggressive
fighter, but after the defeat at Malo-
las he reported to Aguinaldo that the
insurgents could not cope With the
Americans and they had better make
the best terms possible. Luna sent a
delegation to Manila to discuss matters
with Gen. Otis and the Philippine COM
mission. After agreeing to this plan
Aguinaldo sent for Gen. Luna and had
him assassinated in his presence.
Army officers who were in the Phil
ippines say that the followers of Luna
have sworn vengeance on Aguinaldo,
and they do not believe the insurgent
chief will ever be safe from assassina-
ton in Manila or in that part of Luzon
unless he is kept under the protection
of the Americans. War department Of
ficials believe that Gen. Macarthur
will keep Aguinaldo prisoner for
some time to come as much for his own
safety as to prevent him from starting
another Instruction.
Aggy's Successor.
Paris, April 14.-Agoncillo, the agen,
of Aguinaldo in Paris, received cable
gram announcing that the Filipino
general SanCico has been elected to
succeed Aguinaldo as commanding
general of the Filipino forces as well
as dictator during the continuation of
the iEsurrection. Sandico belongs to
a distinguished family residing at
Pandakan, near Manila. He is a man
of energy and is we'll educated, speak.
ing several European languages.
AS announced Monday, April 8, in a
dispatch from Manila, Gen. Sandico
surrendered to the American authori-
ties at Cabanatuan, in the province OF
New Ecija, Island of Luzon. 1t was
added that Sandico has bad record
and may be tried.
