One naturalist has taken fine raisirs,
Of tbs variety known Ms Imperial
Malaga, and planted the stem in moist
earth, This srrm, four inches long, in|
three months had a shoot of three aa-
ditinnal inches.
The plant best known for its renew-I

This is not really rose at all, but be-
longs to the Gruciferte or mustard
family; and it's little white flowers

II was once thought that it absorbed

is lifeless from the moment when it isl

which has changed form from the abb

The dried plant furnishes very inI

FROM THE"PROPHECF OF DANTE"
Lord Byron.

Many are poets, but without the name;
For what is poesy but To create
From over feeling good or ill; and aim
At an external life beyond our fate,
And be the new Prometheus of new men,
Bestowing fire from Heaven, and then, too
late,
Finding the pleasure given repaid with pain,
And vultures TO the heart of the bestower,
Who, having lavished his high gift in vain,
Lies chained to his lone rock by the seashure!
So be it; we can bear. But thus all they
Whose intellect is IN o'ermasterng power,
Which still recoils from its encumbering
clay,
Or lightens il to spirit, whatsoever
The forms which their creation may essay,
Are bards; the kindled marbles bust may
wear
More poesy upon its speaking brow
That aught less than the Homeric page
may bear;
One noble stroke with whole life may
glow,
Or defy the canvas till il shine
With beauty, so surprising all below,
That they who kneel to idols SO divine
Break no commandment, for high Heaven
Is mere
Transfused, transflgurated; and the line
OF pocsy which peoples but the air
With thought and beings of our thought
reflected
Can do no more; then let the artist share

ANOTHER BRUTAL MURDER.
George Henry Haywood Found Dead on
Detroit sidewalk.

Detroit sidewalk.
Detroit, Mich, April 1O.-While the
police were bending all efforts early
today toward running down the slayer
of Miss Jennett, whose mutilated body
was found on Thirteenth street last
night, a second brutal murder was dis
covered. The body of George Henry
Haywood was found lying in pool Of
blood on the sidewalk on Amherst
street half block west of junction
avenue at j. 30 O'Clock this morning, a
deep cash over the left eye, from which
the brains oozed, telling the cause of
death.
Haywood was head bookkeeper at
the Michigan malleablo iron works,
and attended dance at Baker Hall,
corner of Baker and Seventeenth
streets, last night. His wife had in
tended to accompany him, but was
sick. and gave it up. 1t is not known
what time he started for home, but he
was found about 100 yards beyond his
pretty house, and had evidently been
dead some hours, As her husband did
not return during the night, Mrs. Hey
wood was much alarmed, and, arising
early, sent her eldest boy, Earl, aged
- years, out to see if he could find
any trace of his father. The little chap
had gone but short distance from
the house when he discovered the life
less body of the parent.
The police were notified, and the
body was renewed to the morgue and
| placed beside that of Miss Jennett, who
had been murdered q, few hours previ-
GUS. An examination of Haywood s
body and clothes showed that robbery
was not the motive. There was but one
wound, evidently made with heavy
blunt instrument, as it penetrated the
skull and left an ugly cut Detectives
were Immediately put to work on the
case, and they arrested William F.
Jones, a roomer in Haywood house.
The two men are said to have quarreled
frequently. About IS feet from where
the body was found revolver lay in
the alley. The Haywood boy identified
it as belonging to Jones, and said he
had seen it in his room. At the station
Jones was examined as to his relations
with the Haywood family. He said his
home is in Lincoln, Neb., where he
has wife and three children. HC
added that he first became acquainted
with the Heywoods about five year!
ago, wnun he went to the house ont
day to mend gasoline stove for them
He has been boarding there since las
February
There was a freshly discharged car
fridge in the revolver found in tn
alley and said to belong to JONES' DIR
w. r. Baker, who examined Haywood
body as soon as it had been found, i
of the opinion that the wound was in
hicted by revolver held at very clos
range. Jones is said to have been in
fatuated to a marked degree with Mrs
Haywood, so much SO, that it had bee
neighborhood gossip for some time.

A great deal of nonsense is talked
about sparrows driving away other
birds. Like the downtrodden Italian
and other peasants from the Old World,
the sparrows are prepared to live here
where others would starve. They kill
no birds We are too won't to attribute
the results of our own misdeeds or
shortcomings--the barbarities of mil
linery fashions, wanton slaughter mas.
querading as sport, the lack Of good
bird laws and the enforcing of them
where such exist--to these troublesome,
noisy, quarrelsome little feathered
gamins. Fitted to survive after cen
turtles of competitive struggle, they
cannot be exterminated. As we'll try
to eliminate that other triumphant
European immigrant, the daisy, from
our fields. Nellie Blanchan, in the

A New York trade paper says: st
seems like far cry from now to the
spring of 1908, but there are already
goods being manufactured chiefly fancy
cotton fabrics, for the spring of next
year. Foremost among these and at
tracting considerable attention already,
are the products of the Delaware
Cotton Co, The progress made by this
mill in the manufacture Of fine colored
fabrics is remarkable. Its first venture
in mercerized ohambrays and madras
cloths was made but few seasons ago,
and today it has on the market fabrics
which would do credit to the best
manufacturers, either at home or
abroad. Their silk pongee novelties
are of silk and cotton mixture of fine
quality, and their lustroir fancies are
highly mercerized all cottons. A vide
range of new designs in all the popular
colors is shown in these goods, making
most attractive assortment. The mer-
corized chambrays, retaining all the
qualities which have made them so
popular, are also shown in new designs
and colorings. Special attention is
being paid to variety, in order to meet
the different requirements of the job
