aid. . Ills
Every spring" says Mr.. Conry, 1.-The
government at Washington sets aside
a large amount of garden seedfor free
distribution among the people of the
country, and one of the functions of a
congressman is to see that his constiu-
ents get their due share of this seed.
Now, there isn't great deal of vacant
soil in my district which could be util-
lied for the purposes of flower gar
den, but, thinking it would be good
idea to encourage the cultivation of
window plants, sent out last spring
as many packages of the different
plants suitable for window culture as
I thought would suffice to go around.
A little while after 1 received from a
lady to whom l had sent some seed the
following letter:
"'Dear Mr.. Conry: ] have received
your seed, for which am very thank
full. Will you kindly send me 100 feet
of black rubber hose, set of garden
tools and lawn mower"
This story somehow got out. and
was given some circulation. In the
course of its travels it reached the ears
of a lady in the Berkshire hills, who
Immediately wrote me that she didn't
care to receive any lawn mowers or
rubber hose, but she would like very
much to know if l could send her pair
of oxen which she could use for plow-
ing fields.
"Of all the requests. however, which
Ireceived asa result of my well-intend-
ed Offices in seed distribution. the one
I shall cherish longest was received
from a lady on the banks of the Con-
necticut river.
"'My Dear Congressman wrote this
lady, Il have ten acres of land covered
with tobacco. Will you kindly select
from the civil service six able-bodied
men and send themt my farm to Guilt

Flower Time.

A floral clock stands at the en-
trance to Water Works park, in De-
troit, Mich. The dial is six feet III
diameter, with background of dark
green and figures of light green
decorative plants. The hands are of
metal. Water is its only motive pow
er, no springs or weights being used
in its mechanism. 1t was constructed
six years ago by a park gardener, and
some difficulty was experienced IN
regulating it at first. Last spring,
however, a new mechanism was in
stalled, ard it now needs very little
attention. Detroit, by the way, en-
joys the distinction OF having a time
all its own, being the only place III

standard was adopted, about 20 years

The Russian people are the most

every Russian youth, as a rule, takes
to playing on some one Of the national
instruments. One of these is curious

ssbalalaika," another is the square,
oId-fashioned concertina or accordion,
known as the garmouka," which is
greatly loved throughout the land by
the mujiks. Taking his instrument
in his hand, young Ivan or Stepan
goes counting on the long winter
nights. If not, he is apt to spend far
too much Of his time in the "kabak'

Through a medium he has been doing
SO. About two weeks ago the message
came through a medium from the de-
parted Griffin to his widow that he
wanted her to marry John Wilgus.
Mrs. Griffin was not aware of the ex-
istence of any John Wilgus, but made
up her mind that she would follow her
husbands advice if she ever met man
of the name of Wilgus. ~
About the same time that Mrs. Grit
fms advice came from her departed
husband, word came through another
medium to Wilgus that his wife want
ed him to marry Mrs. Lizzie Griffin.
He did not know Mrs. Griffin or even
know of her existence, but he started
out to find her in accordance with the
wishes of his deceased wife. They met.
John told his story and she told hers.
Both were impressed with the mes
sages from the dead. In spite. of the
fact that they had never met before
they became engaged at their first
meeting and were married within three
weeks. ~.

marriage was ordained on high and
that perfect happiness must be the re-
suit of their following the spiritual

Box Placed Beneath white House.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Last even
ing, without the least ceremony, a
pretty function occurred in the main
corridor of the White House. A copy Of
the message sent to congress Tuesday
by the president, autographs Of the
Roosevelt children, specimens of Unit
ed States coins and the chisel with
which the mason did the work were
sealed in marble casket, Which then
was deposited in a bed of cement be-
meath the floor of the main hallway.
Covering the little treasure box was
placed a marble slab bearing the in
scription 1892 1902" in an ellipse Of
stars, one for each state of the Union.
The idea Of making the deposit origi-
mated with the workmen employed on
the interior finishings OF the White
House. While it had the approval Of
the president, he was not present at the
sealing of the box.

ALBANY, N z, Dee. 4.-Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Wieting has had
a consultation with his assistants rela-
tive to the best means that could be
taken under the statutes of this state
to guard against the possibility of the
hoof and mouth disease which is affect
ing the cattle In the eastern states get
ting a foothold in the state of New
York
The commissioner states that the dis
ease at present is not within the state
of New York, and his concern at the
present time is to see that it does not
on the part of the authorities get into
the state. The commissioners views
are that every possible avenue through
which the animals or their products
might be brought into the state should
be so picketed as to make 1t impossible
for them to be brought here.
The commissioner says that though
this disease is not fatal, yet it may and
probably will ruin the animals SO far
as value is concerned. The disease may
be contracted by animals going over
the same route or territory where the
diseased animals have passed. The an
imal when coming down with the dis
ease first has chill, then fever, coat Is
rough. has harsh cough, tenderness
over the back, has an Increased flow of
ropy saliva, ulcers form rapidly in the
mouth, then burst, and this adds blood
and .nlucus to the saliva. When the
feet are attacked, ulcers appear around
the top hoof and between the toes and
the animal shows lameness. Persons
noticing symptoms Of this kind among
their cattle are asked to report imme-
diately to the commissioner of agrfcul-
ture at Albany, n. Z.

rig CURRENCY REFORM.
secretary Shaw Urges Immediate
Financial Liquidation.

Financial Legtslaf1On.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-The annual
report of SecretarA of the Treasury
Leslie M. Shaw has for It's chief fea-
ture the urgency for currency reform.
AT considerable length the secretary
treats of the evils of the existing mon
ey system as illustrated within the past
half year.
The secretary does not recommend
any specific remedy for congress to ap-
ply, but he makes it clear that just as
long as the present laws are on the
statute books just SO long will the
country be subject to periods of money
stringency like that of September and
October, and sooner or later it may find
itself in a predicament from which it
may not be able to extricate itself even
with clearing house certificates and
the unprecedented measures that the
treasury in the last crisis felt itself
justified in adopting.
He urges legislation without delay
which will give flexible currency. The
secretary does not favor any of the
plans which have been put forth for an
emergency" currency. believing that
such steps would be merely a make
shift He is rather in favor of some
thing which will be of permanent value
and gives many reasons why congress
should not delay taking action.
The report points out the condition in
which the financial world found itself
late in the summer and early in the
fall, when the supply of currency
proved to be utterly inadequate to the
volume Of business and extraordinary
means were necessary to release money
in the treasury and relieve the strin-
gency, which threatened to cause a Sc
rious financial disturbance, if not a
money panic.

GHOST RULES HOUSE.
Queer ,Doings In Alleged Haunted
Residence Caused Excitement
at DunkirI, n. Y.

Residents in the Fourth ward OF
Dunkirk, n. Y, are greatly excited
over an alleged haunted house in Lin
coin avenue. The house in which the
ghosts are said to hold sway is
small, gloomy, vine-coEered cottage,
resting back from the street, almost
hidden from view by deep shrubbery.
IT was the home of an aged woman
who was found lying on the floor one
morning dead. For years she had led
the life of a recluse, and her every
action had been shrouded in mystery.
After her death considerable money
was found secreted about the place.
