WONDERFUL ORCHIDS.
Apartments for Ants and Feelers for
Drawing Up Water

apartments Tor Ants and Feelers for
Drawing Up Water
The orchid family possesses many
curious habits. some provide on
their roots peculiar bulbs containing
many little apartments, so thatants
may live in them and protect the or
child from its insect enemies.
A recently discovered specie
grows low down over water, and when
thirsty draws water for itself. This
it does with a long tape-like stem,
coiled like watch spring in the cen
ter Of the plant. When the orchid
needs moisture this stem is gradual
ly uncoiled and lowered until it
reaches beneath the water. AS it
begins to coil up again the tip is nat
urally filled with water, and this is
elevated by the rolling up ofthe stem
until it is brought to the base IF the
plant.
Should the orchid be deprived Of
water, the tube will search about over
the ground for it as if guided by intel

HANDS

It is a curious fact that the word hands
should live in our language as a practical
definition of the value and standing OF the
laboring classes. Mill hands, farm hands.
factory hands, they are all alike. simply
hands. Even the workers themselves re-
cognize this definition as accurate by rarely
looking beyond the activity of the hands
whose skill or strength earns the wage.
But some day the worker learns that behind
the hands is the stomach. When the stom-
ach is weak or diseased the hands lose their
strength and cunning. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and
nutrition. It makes the body strong. It
enables man to work full time and earn
full wages.

A REFORM SUGGESTED

In these days OF retrenchment and
reform, when Virginia's statesmen
are discussing ways and means by
which the taxpayers of the Common
wealth may receive better service
from officials, it would not be amiss
TO make some suggestions along the
lines that are being, or may be, discuss
ed. 1t is generally conceded that
Virginia is the garden spot Of America
and that her officials (as class are
high-toned gentlemen; but even gen
tlemen sometimes fall in error.
Gentlemen, who have made mis-
takes, are always ready and willing
TO be corrected should thecorrections
be suggested in the proper spirit.
The FREE LANCE, as in the past,
proposes only to make suggestions
and seek corrections in fair and I'M
biased way.
We are informed upon reliable au-
thority that it has been the custom
heretofore to, sometimes, pay mem
bers of certain State Boards (for
whom but little il any salary is pro-
vided in law by having ''relief' bills
passed by the Legislature and al
though on the face of these bills the
statement is made that the money
desired is for the relief of the depart
ment represented. ass matter OF fact
the real end desired is to provide
compensation for the members OF the
Board itself
1t is right and proper that every
official should be remunerated for
loss of time as well as for services
rendered the State, but it certainly
would be more satisfactory TO the
taxpayers to know exactly where
their money is going. If the Legisla-
ture feels that members of any Board
should receive compensation for serv-
ices rendered, then let the bills offered
read 'for salary and compensation
of the members Of--BOard Tor
services rendered" and not "for the
relief Of Board. "
TINS may seem TO be a small mat
ter and deserving of little notice, but
the principle for which we plead-the
appropriation of the peoples money
in an open and frank manner
worthy of more than passingnotice.
virginians are not beggars nor do
they expect men to work for themfor
nothing, but when they are really
paying for services rendered they
want the books of the Commonwealth
to show it.

GREAT BRITAIN doesn't seem to be-

buying supplies ofmeat for the army

in Australia and New Zealand, where
meat is plentiful. The meat OF Ar
gentina is not claimed to be superior
to that ofeither Australia or New len

it is preferred over the meat of those
colonies must be because il ischeaper.

Marshal Treat Given A Hearing.

Chairman Park Agnew, of the State
Republican Committee, and Mr.. Morgan
Treat. L. S. marshal for the Eastern
district of Virginia. were at the Civil
Service Commission, Washington, Thurs
day where hearing was given. Some
of Mr.. Treats Republican rivals in Vir-
ginia have sought to block his reap
pointment as marshal by charges that
be has violated the civil-service law. Mr..
Treat presented before the commits
sioners letters and ahidayits showing
that the charges were unfounded or OF
such a character as TO involve him only
technically. For instance, one OF the
charges involved him as a member OF the
State executive committee. in the cOllec-
ton and disbursement OF a small cam
paign fund last year. The action in
question was taken during Mr. Treats
absence and entirely without his know
ledge, as he was able to show by aiiida-
Wits. Marshal Treats record in the
Office OF marshal has been one of unusual
efficiency. He has the Endorsement OF

ers interested in litigation for a reap

AN ERRONEOUS CHARGE.

Some days ago The FREE LANCE
received letter from a gentleman in
which it was charged that there were
relations existing between the b. F.
johnson Publishing Company, OF
Richmond, and the Faculty OF VIII
liam and Mary College, that would
make the President OF the College a
biased man, were he named among
the members of a State Board whose
duty it was to select schOOl-bOoks
for the public schools OF this State.
The matter seemed to be sufficient
" important to demand some edi-
torial inquiry, which we made. Since
the inquiry appeared, both Mr.. John
son and President Tyler have denied
the charges, and, in most gentle
manly manner, have invited investi-
cation.
The FREE LANCE feels perfectly safe
In saying that the charges are not
founded on facts.
1t is a fact that in 1898 a member
of che Faculty of William aud Mary
College. at the request OF DR.. Southall,
Superintendent OF Public Instruction.
did some editorial work on Johnson S
Readers. For this service he was, OF
course, compensated, but here his re-
lations with the Johnson Company
ceased.
In Justice to the Johnson Company
and the professor who did the writ
ing which appears in the introdue-
tion to the Third Reader, it is but
right to say that if such actions
constitute close relationship, there is
not an educator Of any prominence
in the State who would be free from
censure.
We regret the receipt OF a com
munication making such serious
charges whose strongest foundation
lies in the facts just stated.
should our informant feel that
these lines do him an injustice, we
will freely publish the proofs OF the
charges as submitted by him and
nlace his name and address beneath
them.
