Too Much Pleasure Seeking.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June SIN the
b~accalaureate sermon at Vassar college to-
day President Taylor spoke of the "deaden-
ing effect of pleasure seeking on all the
higher activities of life" and expressed
the opinion that all that is good in our
lives is threatened by the pleasure seeking
spirit of the present age. Many students,
he said, feel that the best thing to be
gotten from college is the chance for a
good time. This spirit undermines the
physical vigor and dulls the mental power.

1t Cleared the Atmosphere.

Frem the Kansas City World.
For the first time in the history Of
the peoples party of Kansas a dele
gated convention of its members has
failed to take a definite stand on the
questions it was called to decide. The
call, which was made unanimously by
the state committee, asked that the
party come together to decide ques-
tions which the committee felt it had
no right to decide. 1t showed that the
time had come for a decisive step and
asked for instructions. The confer
ence, by its action, has thrown the
questions back upon the committee.
The majority report adopted com
mands the state committee to call
state convention, a duty which they
would have to perform in any event,
and to make a vigorous campaign for
the ticket, a rather sUperhuous in
struction. That was all
The "mid-road'' workers in the party,
who had majority on the committee
on resolutions, we're afraid to present a
straightout proposition for a straight
ticket to the convention, knowing full
we'll that a vast majority were in favor
Of cooperation with the democrats; so
they then brought in the report which
merely put off the evil day and gave
them another chance to make a fight
for the middle Of the road. There was
nothing in the minority report which
could be construed into a surrender,
yet so ardent was this faction in show
ing the convention that it was a scheme
to deliver the party to the democrats
that many believed that the issues in
the two reports were, "Shau we retain
our organization?" or 'Shau we go into
the democratic party?" There was
never any question regarding the re-
| tention Of the organization The issues
at stake were, "ShaI we cooperate
with our former alIies?" OF "ShaH we
take to the middle Of the road?''
The republican papers assisted ma
terially in making the former division,
, and the vote at last showed that the
conference as a body had voted with
that idea in their minds.
The state committee is now expected
to arrange a meeting with the demo
cratic committee and fix the time and
place of meeting. The party is still in
favor of fusion, and there is no doubt
that with the atmosphere cleared by
the conference matters viii be ami
cably arranged.

Get Weather Plant.

From the New York World
Instead Of a barometer provide your
self with a weather plant 1t is far pref
tier and viii be possession of unusual
interest, inasmuch as it is among the
most curious and mysterious Of plants.
Botanists know the weather plant as the
"Arbus Precatorius." 1t tbrives well in
this country, although it is an exotic
and held in great veneration by the ma
tives Of India who claim that the state
Of weather may be told some time in ad-
vance by the position the leaves assume.
This theory is held BY well known bot
anists and is within the bounds OF rea-
son, because the atmosphere unquestiOn-
ably affects the leaves and flowers Of
plants and shrubs and to a close Oh
server may indicate impending weather
changes. The weather plant is also
known as the Prayer Bean" and Grabs
Eye Vine" The flowers are beautifully
shaped aud of pleasing shade of lsven-
der. The plant is remarkable for its
small gg-shaped seeds, which are Of a
brilliant scarlet with black spots.

Does 1t Grow seedq

The metropolitan papers IN the east
are circulating a report that an enter
prising person in western Kansas has
discovered that there is q demand in
eastern states and foreign countries for
buffalo grass, and he has set about to
fill the demand He is selling a grass
seed to eastern and foreign seed houses
which, he claims, is buffalo grass seed
They claim that no such seed has ever
been seen by the farmers Of Kansas, and
it is new 10 the agricultural department
and that the grass grows only on ground
which has never been plowed and it has
never been known to go to seed.
The writer has DO interest il the
sale of buffalo grass seed, or any other
seed, but believes the claim that buffalo
grass has no seed is an error. Buffalo
grass spreads by runners which take
root, it is true, but If also has seed that
hangs from the stalk in a minute peapod
shaped mass. Buffalo grass will also
run on and root in ploEed ground which
has been left uncultivated for a number
Of years.

FOR FUSION THIS YEAR.
Democratic and POPuIist Committees VIII
Meet TO Arrange Plan Of Action
Little Trouble Anticipated.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 25.-Negotiations
were begun to-day between the officers of
the democratic party and populist party
looking TO a ueeting Of the two state
committees for the purpose Of arranging
to have the two conventions meet at the
same time and place and CO operate IL
the selection Of a ticket to be voted for
by both parties 1t is probable that both
committees viii be called to meet at To
peka within the next three weeks.
1t IS well known that a large majority
Of both committees favor a close union
again this year, and there is little trouble
anticipated to come to a mutual agree
ment. The action Of the populist con-
ference Is considered by the pOpulist
leaders to mean a direct mandate to
arrange a proper fusion with the demo
Gratis on the best possible terms, and
they are willing to accept the response
biIity.-
The leaders say they would have liked
better to have been given some idea as
to how the party wished them to pro-
coed, but as this has not been done they
will use their best judgment in the mat
ter, and there is DO doubt that an amic-
able agreement will be made.

JONAH AND THE WHALE.

One speaker, at the Topeka eonven-
ton, taking his cue from the swallow
ing" metaphor, introduced the Jonah
Bible incident. Granting "free trans
lation" Of the arguments pro and con,
the situation as represented was about
as follows:
The reform element represents the
conscience Of the nation, but fees the
responsibility of prophecy Of calamity
to that great and wicked city" Nine
veh-the republican party. Jonah,
the populist, was completely at sea-
He paid his fare" and did not ride on
a pass. In a great storm the ship of
state is tossed and shipwreck is threat
ened. InquisitiOn is made for cause,
and the pop is found asleep. Once
awake he protests that he fed from a
calamity howl" but still feared
God" That was enough. He was ad-
judged hoodo and flung overheard at
his own suggestion.
Now the whaIe-the democratic
party-has reputation for swallowing
all sorts Of things, and, coming along,
took Jonah in out of the wet. The
calamity bowler was in the "beIly of
hell" and prayed to God. Immediately
the whale got sick at the stomach;
and the situation was mutually dis
tressing. On the sea shore at Topeka;
Jonah stands there painting and drip
ping with sea water and slime. The
whale. not far off, lies waIlowing in
the shoals Of a political minority,
when a bystander suggests that they
try it again.
The whale rolls his eyes and re
marks: 81 might. but only one at a
time" Jonah says "nit," and crack
ing his heels together lights out
for Nineveh. He is lonesome. Out
on the desert he finds a social demo
crat, and says: "If we kindle the
camphres Of 80 will you come with
usi" mot much" He goes on and
prophesies against Nineveh, and then
builds a shack on a hill and awaits
the fall Of the city. A gouTd grows up
in the night and the anti-fusion worm
nips it, and Jonah sweats and com
plains to heaven.
Nineveh does not fall. It puts on
the sackcloth OF tariff reform and in
f1ates the currency.-Moral: "The hard
luck Of a refOrmer."
The last word heard from the whale
rs he made for deep water was: 81
believe the silver in that fellows wallet
is what made me sick"

DoUBTING CoLoRED MINISTER.
Did Not Know 1t Was Andrew Carne-
gle Who Gave the Fifty Dollar
Note

From the New York Times.
Andrew Carnegie lately told this story:
He said be found himself in a sleepy
little town in Georgia on a Sunday, and
he determined to visit the cOlored church.
He arrived after the service had begun,
and took a seat In the last pew.
When the plate was passed ne dropped
a $50 banknots on it. The old man who
passed the plate put it down at once, ex-
amined the note carefully on both sides,
and then counted the change IN the
plate.
This finished, be picked up the plate
and marched sOlemnly to the front. In
stead Of placing it Cd the little table, in
front of the pine pulpit, however, he
carried it around to the pulpit stairs,
and haEded it to the minister. He
whispered to the pastor eagerly, nOddiug
first at the $50 note and then at Mr..
Carnegie. The minister put the plate
on the pulpit, fingered the note, blinked
once or twice, and said:
"Bre'reu, de Lawd hab bSn mighty
good to US dis day. De collec'shun'
mounts to sI24. 'en if de $50 bill VII dat
man wild de gray ha'r en- beard, who am
sittin' in de back seat, put in de plate,
am good, we have s51.24. Let US tank
de Lawd, en- pray dat it may be good
bill"
Mr.. Carnegie slipped out of the church
just before the prayer was finished, and
left the town before the doubling min
lister discovered his identity.

Evil Communication.

A small boy who lives at a railroad
center had been accustomed to visiting
the station and making friends with the
officers Of the company. He persuaded
his aunt to play train with him the other
day. He arranged the chairs in a line
and then said: Now, you be engineer
and I'll be conductor. Lend me your
watch and get into the cab" He then
hurried down the platform, time piece in
hand.
Pull out, you red headed, pie faced
jay" he shouted to the astoDished young
woman. "Why, Willie!' she exclaimed
IN amazement.
That's right, chew the rag" he retort-
ed. Pull out. We are five minutes late
already"
That boy Is not allowed to fraternize
with railroad men any mOre.-N. Y. Sun.
