A FLORAL WONDER.
Originated by n Grower of California
and known rs the SHASTA
Daisy"

The newest floral wonder is the
"Shasta daisy" originated by flower
grower of California. 1t measures a
foot in circumference, and when one
was exhibited recently in a florists
window in San Francisco, people lit
orally focked to see it, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
1t is really new kind of flower.
and has been produced by several
years of crossing and selection, three
different kinds of daisies being used
the common American species, the
larger and coarser European sort and
the japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals of
the purest white, and each blossom is
upheld by a single strong and wiry
stem which is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
is said to be that it is exceedingly
hardy, enduring much cold, so that it
can be grown out-of-doors. It is
claimed that it prospers in almost any
kind of soil, blooms all summer long
lin California nearly all the year
round) and may be rapidly multiplied
by dividing the roots.
A popularity of this new and beauti-
full blossom is that it sometimes shows
colors, indicating that daisies of vari-
Gus hues and of gigantic size may be
placed on the market before long.

LESSONS BY PHONOGRAPH.
A New Device in Teaching Correct
Pronunciation I'm Foreign
Tongues.

Teaching modern languages by
means of the photograph is new
device. 1t is employed by some of
the many correspondence schools
that have sprung up all over the
country in the last year or two.
At the headquarters of the school
the teacher speaks the lesson into
the funnel of the machine. These
records are then mailed to the stu
dent, who may live thousand niles
away, together with a monograph
and several blank records.
In his own home the student sets
the photograph going and listens
while 1t repeats as pure German,
Italian or French as the teacher
knows how to speak. Having learned
the lesson he repeats it to the talk
ing machine and sends the record
back to the school, where the teach
er criticises it for his benefit.
Printed lessons are sent out also,
but from the photograph it is as
serted the pupil learns correct pro-
nunciation as he never could from
books, and almost as well as he
would from the instructor at first
hand

Joke ON BULLFIGHTER.
A Frenchman Is Invited to New York
to Fight Tammany
Tiger.

Not long ago French bullfghter
of Beaucaire named August Fabre,
who was not particularly prosperous,
thought he saw an opening for his
talents in America and wrote to New
York for an engagement, writes the
Paris correspondent of the New York
World. To his surprise he received
this answer:
at is not slayer of bulls we want
in New York this fall, but a slayer
Of tigers"
The great Fabre had never heard
of Tammany and he took the mes
sage literally. Screwing up his cour-
age with a few drinks of absinthe,
he called back: agreed for the tiger
fight. Am going into training. Send
date"
Then the ingenious bullfighter told
his comrades and was preparing to
learn the way tigers should be at
tackled and conquered when he met
a friend better posted than himself
on American idiosyncrasies, and from
him he learned the truth. But he
cautioned his friend to silence and
himself said nothing. So the inhabi-
tants of Beaucaire remain convinced
that in New York arenas are main
tanned for tiger fighting.

Failings of an Emperor.

His Imperial Japanese Majesty Mutt
su Hito, the one hundred and twenty
third mikado of the empire, always
wears a simple uniform, and never
goes about alone. When the mikado
had his first photograph taken he ex-
claimed that if he was as ugly as it rep
resented him to be he would never sit
for his portrait again. At the en-
peror's request the japanese legations
in other countries refused to issue his
picture. In truth, the mikado is
plain man, somewhat bow-legged and
pigeon-toed, but he has an air Of
majesty none the less. He has shown
himself a wise. good and able ruler.

Attractive Women.

All women sensibly desire to be attract
tive. Beauty is the stamp of health be-
cause it is the outward manifestation Of
inner purity. A healthy woman is always
attractive, bright and happy. When every
drop bof lood in the veins is pure beau
teous flush is on the cheek. But when the
blood is impure, moroseness, bad temper
and sallow complexion tells the tale of
sickness, all too plainly. And women to-
dav know there is no beauty without
health. Wine of Cardui crowns women
with beauty and attractiveness by making
strong and healthy those organs which
make her a woman. Try wine Of Cardui,
and in a month your friends will hardly
know you.

1904, 900 acres of land. an area equal
to more than II times that of the Coun-

slice of land stretching from the south
of England to the extreme north of
Scotland more than five miles wide.
If this land were all in England about
an acre out of every 16 would belong
to one or other of these dukes.

The line is always open to the Chi.

man goes to the tower and with a
switch key unlocks the door. Before
he can operate the levers to get his
train over the crossing he has to lock
the door With heavy bolt which con-
meets with the levers.
After the Milwaukee train has
cleared the crossing he cannot leave
the tower until he has restored the
switches and signals of the Chicago
