Here might weary man lie soft asleep,
Asleep yet all alive,-0 tender dream!-

Sweet flowers from far off fields that all

from FIVE to one hundred and swampy
areas. one hundred to five hundred or
even lighter. Highly colored waters are
more common in the Northern states than
in the South. Colored water is gradually
bleached by sunlight, the action taking
place chiefly within one foot of the sur
face. The study of color in water is of
commercial Importance, because most
people object 10 drinking brownsh water.
Hence, in a town water supply the color
must either be removed or its formation
must be prevented. The latter is often
the most economical thing to do. and il
may be accomplished by intercepting

Cousin of Russian Gar is Coming to
America.

Another royal guest is TO be presented
to the new world. this time from Russia
The Grand Duke Boris, son of the Grand
Duke Vladimir, brother to Alexander Ill
and uncle TO the present Gar, will come
to America as a private citizen on tour
of inspection of the world, and will arrive
in Washington late in the month of June
While ut the capital the grand duke
will be the guest of the Russian ambas-
sador at the embassy. The arrival of
the distinguished visitor will detain
Count Cassini in this country until the
middle of July, though it has been his
purpose TO leave for Europe in June.
The grand duke comes to America as
a private traveller and will be accom-
panied by only a small suite of officers
aud men. Probably the programme will
differ so widely from that upon the occa-
sion of the visit of Prince Henry of Prus-
STA that no social affair will be given in
his honor. He is % years of age a
colonel of infantry in the Russian army,
and a studious young man.

equipped with new day coaches, each
seating eighty persons, and furnished in
luxurious style.
The Santa Fe will have in effect about
the same low rate arrangements to Colo
rado and Utah as last year. except that
there will be no rate higher than one fare

be even lower. These cheap rates and
inc service will attract thousands to the
Rockies when hot weather sets in.

WILKINS NO SPELLBINDER.
Story of the Owner of the Washing
ton Post.


Beriah Wilkins, owner of the Washing
ton Post, was formerly 4 representative
in Congress from Ohio. He tells with
great glee a story about his first cam
paign When he was nominated he had
never made u public speech Soon after
the convention a delegation came to him
from Il small town in his district and
asked him to come out to a ratification
meeting. Wilkins said he would, but
cautioned the delegation against asking
him to speak They said that would be
all right, as they had provided two pro-
fesSional spelbinders All Wilkins would
have to do, they said, wonld be to shake
hands and kiss the babies.
Wilkins went, was met by brass band
and escorted to the hall. Then, to his
utter dismay, he found that the spell
binders had not arrived. The chairman
insisted that wilkins must say some
thing. He stood up, was introduced and
said everything he could think of, After
he had been talking what seemed to
him two hours but in reality was not
more than fifteen minutes he gave out
entirely and sat down.
There was a dense silence. Not per-
son in the hall applauded. Then the
chairman arose and said:
IF there is anybody in the hall that
can make a speech we will be glad to
hear him. New York World.

Any report of Senator Tillman's
speeches must be incomplete unless it is
accompanied by a kaleidoscope picture to
show the senator's face and gestures and
photograph to repeat the tones of his
voice. His last speech was no exception.
1t abounded in all sorts of exclamations
very original and expressive, but also
very explosive. 1t is a curious fact about
Illlman that in the middle of a sentence
he will bolt, apparently at a loss for a
word or a smile. At the end of this
pause the word is uttered or the smile
expressed with such appropriateness and
emphasis as TO almost lead 10 the belief
that he had thu card up his sleeve an
the time and only waited a moment in
impressive silence, so that he could play
it in triumph.
Some of his sentences are picturesque.

Russian Exactions in Siberia.

1t would appear that Russia is deter
mined TO run every profitable business by
the state. The government has a mo-
nopoly of transportation, has pre-empted
the spirit industry, and may at any time
seize the tobacco trade. The state regu-
lateS wages, grants or refuses rights to
work for precious and base minerals and
to obtain fuel; in fact, leaves TO the indi-
vidual little but the cultivation of the
soil aud the raising of stock. The cry

Rich Mud.
Roots may be obtained from any florist.
The seed will readily terminate if hole
is filed or drilled through the hard shell
that moisture may penetrate the kernel,
otherwise they will lie dormant almost
indefinitely. 1t is perfectly hardy and
comes TO perfection when planted in shall

posure to the sun-simply naturalized in
the save environments that suit our ma
tive water lily. Artificial ponds or ce-
ment basins are often made for the ac-
commodation of this and other water liz
les. Such tanks should be two to four
feet deep, and of any size and outline de-
sired. Twelve by twenty feet is a nice
size for the amateur. 1t is best TO plant
the lilies in boxes, say three feet square
and one foot deep, filled with good rich
soil and sunk in the tank.
The lotus submits gracefully to cult
walton in tubs. Ordinary half-barrels will
do for tubs. Fill them two-thirds full of

full of water and set in a warm, sunny
place. In winter remove the tubs with
their contents to a cellar. A beautiful

into a mound or circle and filling the
spaces between them with ferns, arrow
heads and other moisture-loying plants

MEAT ONCE A DAY.

Theory that Average Family's Food is
Too Rcavy for Health.
Our mstak,s in eating begin with our
breakfast. In many families, perhaps in
most, this meal commences with fruit
and cereal, goes on to chops and pota-
toes, hot breads and coffee. and concludes
with griddle cakes and syrup. At noon,
when mans stomach is only beginning
TO rest from all this, he has a steak, more
potato, bread and butter, coffee and pie
while Mt home his wife has slice of
cold meat, a cup of tea and a piece Of
cake. At night the two sit down to din
ner-with roast beef, potatoes and bread
and butter as the staples of the meal.
Now no one but wood chopper or a
hunter can possibly eat meat, above all,
red meat, such as beef and mutton,
three times q day without inviting uric
acid to come and take up its dwelling III
his system. Nor can he eat white bread,
potatoes ana pastry day after day with
out inviting dyspepsia. One has only to
let a doctor trace back these diseases to
their source to be quite certain on these
points.
But IL we decide to give up these
things, determine to have meat and po-
tatoes only once day, and red meat on
| ly once a week; if we taboo pastry, the
starchy vegetables, the white bread and
heavy sweets, what have we left for the
family meals? Nothing" the distracted
housewife will exclaim, despairingly, ut
| first thought, but really the matter is
not as difficult as 1t seems.
In planning the meals on this basis,
there is, first of all, chicken, which is in
| valuable, for it, may be cooked in a dozen
| different ways and seem new dish each
| time; and turkey, duck and goose as well.
| Then there are the white meats-lamb
and veal, fish i'll its multitudious forms;
