The most specious of these arguments

Of cold water would coagulate the al

But Is it not evident that those organs

DR.. Schrodt, the author Of "Natur-

that our diet is not half fluid enough,
and demonstrates that organic warmth

PROUD OF HIS WORK.

His Early Manual Labor Gave the
Noted Earrister Much Satisfaction.
The late D. w. Richardson, In an
address to working men, declared that
work, manual work, and that, too, Of
resolute kind, Is absolutely necessary
for every man. He spoke also Of the
Importance of doing ones work. not
merely to get it done, but with feel
ing of pride in doing it well. In this
connection he said:
l was invited not many years ago to
lecture at st. Andrews University,
and to listen in the evening to lee
ture by another man, like myself, an
outsider. I was not personally ac-
quainted with this other man, but
knew that he filled an important judi
cial Office in Scotland, and was consid-
cred one Of the most able and learned,
as well as one Of the wittiest, men in
that country. He chose for his sub
tect "Self- Culture" and for an hour
held us in perfect dream Of pleasure.
For my own part, l could not realize
that the hour had fed.
The lecture ended at Z o'clock, and
at found myself seated at dinner
by the side of the lecturer, at the
house of one Of the university profess
sors. In the course Of the dinner
made some reference to the hall IN
which the exercises of the day had
been held, how good it was for sound,
and what fine structure to look upon.
"And did you like the way in which
the stones were laid inside?" l asked
my new friend.
Immensely" replied. ''The man
who laid those stones was an artist
who must have thought that his work
would live through the ages"
"WelI, that is pleasant to hear" he
said, "for the walls are my ain daein'."
He had the Scottish accent when he
was in earnest.
Fortunate man." replied, to have
the means to build SO fine place." for
I thought, naturally enough, that, be-
ing a rich man, he had built this hall
at his own expense, and presented it to
the university.
Fortunate, truly" he answered, "but
not in that sense. What 1 mean is.
that 1 laid every one of those stones
with my ain hand. l was a working
mason, and the builder of the hall gave
me the job Of laying the inside stone
work; and never had any job in my
life in which took so much pride and
so much pleasure"
While this man was working with
his hands he was working also with
his brain. He took his degree, went
to the bar, and became a man honored
throughout the country. We applaud
ed his brilliant lecture; but those silent,
beautiful stones before him, which
echoed our applause, must, I think,
have been to him one cheer more, and
a big one

Bouquets Are Supplied Bountifu1Iy to
Congressmen and Senators.
Cut flowers are supplied gratuitOusly
by Uncle Sam to a number of persons
and institutions in the city of Wash
ington and members of Congress have
come to regard them as among the most
desirable of their perquisites. The
greenhouses from which the flowers
in question come are maintained pr1n-
cipally to supply the city parks with
the plants which make them such
feature of the city's beauty throughout
the greater part of the year. After the
White House is supplied the hospitals
and other public institutions receive
flowers. Many other worthy causes
also share in the distribution. Fam
lilies of members of the cabinet, the
supreme court and legislative members
come next. This custom, which has
prevailed for years, Of distributing the
cut flowers is still followed.
Besides the greenhouses in charge Of
the Superintendent of Public Buildings
and Ground, and the White House con-
servatory, other gardeners are those Of
the Agricultural Department and the
botanical gardens. The latter are un-
der the direction Of the Senate Com
mittee on Library. The gardens Of the
Department of Agriculture are devoted
largely to the growing of plants other
than floral.
The flowers from the White House
conservatory are used for daily decora-
tions of the executive mansion and 1t
is for state functions and all other or
binary occasions that the supply of the
park greenhouses Is drawn upon.
Through this source Of supply not an
inconsiderable amount that would 9TH

many state dinners runs well up into
the hundreds and sometimes even thou
sands of dollars. The floral decorations
for the Prince Henry dinner, which
were most elaborate, would have cost

ket. AS it was the real expenditure in
the floral decorations was only few

Oh, here's to the man with hand like a
ham,
And fist just as big as his heart;
To the big, manly chap, be he banker or
drudge,
Owning railroads or driving cart;
To the man who looks steadily straight
in your eyes
And gives you grip like wise
Euch men as decided long since, once for
That they'd rather be men than be
mice.
He may have a skull like the crust of the
earth,
And jaw like the Terrible Turk;
His hands may have spread on the helve
of a pick,
Or at some other menial work;
But his heart you'll find good as nugget
of gold,
And twill always be faithful to you
Then here's to the man with hand like
a ham
And soul that is loyal and true.
He may not be yersed in the dining
rooms ways,
He may never have donned a dress
suit,
But he will stand fast while you're true
to your trust;
Your honor he'll never dispute,
For he's just the friend that will fight to
the end,
Till there's no further use to resist
God bless him, this man with the hand
like a ham,
And heart just as big as his Inst.

A WOMAN MINERS PLUCK.

Works Herself at the Hard and Dan.
gerous Toll,
A story comes from Arizona which
shows what can be accomplished by
the energy and determination which
often lies beneath the fair exterior OF
a woman's frame. Mrs. John Kay lives
near Kingman, Ariz. She has hus-
band and a family of children. Her
husband Is q hard-working man, but
his earnings barely suffice for the daily
necessities of the family, and several
years ago she decided that she would
engage in mining for herself.
She had no money to pay for the
development of her claim, but she had
a pair Of tender, but willing, hands and
arms, and did not hesitate to sacrifice
their beauty and mar their fair proper
tions In the effort to provide future
for her family. She took the drill and
hammer in her own hands, and, with
infinite patience, wrought the holes In
the rock, says Ores and Metals. She
cut the fuse, bit the cap, tamped the
charge, went back into the smoke to
look for results, and wheeled out the
muck, and kept up this work for years.
Progress was slow, for she washed
and baked and made and hemmed for
her children, but there was no thought
of failure in her mind, and no dream of
rest until it had been earned.
A few weeks since her reward cama
AS she went into the tunnel after a
round of shots she found big chunks

as such. 1t will be noted that the bril-
liant master of style did not use the
phrase except as quotation. From
whom? An amateur murderer. This
amateur laments that in the way of
murders there has been nothing do
ing" since that done by Macbeth worth
speaking of. 1t is a fair conclusion
that man who tries his hand at mur-
der purely as an amateur with an eff
fort to attain that degree of skill which
he has set up as standard for himself
is Of that class and manner of men
who use slang as a habit of speech.
And It, therefore, may be deduced that
De Quincey's amateur was using the
current slang of his day.

The American Flag.
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurfd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there;
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She calrd her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch Of the cloud!
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm
And rolls the thunder-drum of heaven
Child of the sum- to thee 'tiS given
70 guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur-smoke,
TO ward away the battle-stroke,
And bid it's blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victoryi
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triupmph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet-tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And as his springing steps advance
Catch war and vengeance from thu
glance.
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shots of fame on midnight's pail
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas! on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave;
When death, careering OH the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
By angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be-

With freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming Ger
