The BrOokside Kennels, at Kenosha,
Wis, consist of rows of snail, low
buildings, built especially for their
Angora occupants. The houses are con-
structed in such a manner that they
are kept at the same temperature from
one end of the year to the other. In
order TO make this possible a steam
plant has been placed in the house near
the kennels and hot water Is used for
n heating power. The quarters for the
cats are well arranged, one whole side
Of the building being built of glass in
order TO give the cats plenty Of sun
light. The walls are painted In soft
tnts in order to prevent any injury
to the eyes of the kittens, and tho
rooms are cutaincd so that the sunlight
may be shut out IL necessary Every
one of the fifty cats now in the kennels
has an apartment OF its own.

urpsr Methods of Communication.

The ancient rood-slgns Of the Rom
any, the "patteran," takes the place
Of sign-boards or maps. The ''patteran'
is q little, carefully arranged pile Of
sticks, grass or stones placed at cross
roads, where none but Il Gypsy would
notice it, any more than any one but Il
Romany could read it; but to him 1t
Is as plain as the monday sun, and by
it-a succession of such wayside tokens
ono family or company can follow
others who may be days ahead Of them
for hundreds Of miles.
Though the Gypsy has uses for other
methods Of communication besides the
mysterious 'patteran," he is not a
letter writer. He rightly cares first
for his own immediate family circle;
the closest "in-laws" do not travel to-
gether unless perfectly congenial or
unless it is convenient for them to do
so, and as the rowing life Is not con-
ducive to letter writing even the near
est relatives do not usually hear from
each other directly more than once OF
twice year at most.

whether man or beast, and so find
means to distribute themselves. We
bring these hangers-on, clinging to our
clothing, from every autumn walk
through woods and fields. Sometimes
we pause on our way to free ourselves
from these encumbrances, sometimes
we bring them home with us; in any
event, some of them find lodging in the
earth, and next spring there is n new
group In a new place. Animals and
birds do their share I'm planting these
varieties in the same manner. 1t is
strange that these are all troublesome
weeds which one would gladly see
perish. Nature seems more persistent
in her efforts to plant them than many
more favorlte plants.
1t seems, indeed that only those
plants which do not serve to nourish
either man or beast are supplied with
these ingenious devices for transmits
sion and self-planting. In the case Of
plants used for food, there is security
that the seed will be planted and
cared for
A writer on this subject speaks of
the "Rose Of Jericho" which is an
Eastern variety of our common "tum-
bleweed," belonging to the botanical
family Of ''cruclferae." When the seeds
ripen the plant bends in ats branches,
forming a ball with the seed inside.
When quite dry the lightest wind suf'
fees to break it from the parent stalk,
and away it goes, rolling and tumbling
over the ground, scattering its seed in
its progress.
In the great valley of the Amazon,
when the wind breaks off the massive
plumes of the tall pampas grass, they
roll up in great white spheres, several
feet in circumference, and go bounding
over the vast level plains distributing
the seed in the same manner. 1t was
In allusion to this device that David
wished that his enemies might be made
"like unto 4 wheel, as the stubble be-
fore the wind"
The fora of the Azore Islands is said
to be exclusively such as is adapted to
be planted by these agencies Of nature.
The only trees and shrubs of these
islands are such as bear small berries,
and are indigenous to the southwest
of Europe, while the oak, chestnut,
apple, and others growing in the same
latitudes, but not adapted to convey
ance by such means, are entirely alb
sent. The flora of these islands COM
prises 439 species; 45 have winged seed,
Go very minute, hard-sheled seed, 30
have such seed as are eaten by birds,
and S4 others are well adapted TO con-
veyance by wind and water. There
is probably no better example of ma
lures seed planting than in the Azores,
which are 900 miles distant from the
nearest land.
When one considers the subtle, silent
ways in which the clothing of the earth
in robes Of verdure is accomplished, the
mind is filled with wonder and admira-
ton of the ceaseless forces which con-
serve the life and care for the contiR-
uance Of those creations which are en-
tirely Independent of the care and no.
tice of mankind.-Francis M, Butler, in

GYPSY knowledge Of the Future.

"It seems but little short of the MI
raculous," Gays the writer of most in
teresting article on Gypsles, In Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, ito have the
hidden history Of ones life read so per.
fectly by utter stangers, but the means
by which they make it appear that they
do so is not entirely palmistry, which.
regarded as a science, has little part
in Gypsy fortune telling. Romanys
gather every possible bit Of informa-
ton about the inhabitants Of The neigh
borhood where they happen 10 be So
journing, by judicious questioning OF
servants and neighbors, and hoard the
treasure in their marvellous memories.
Add to this the fact that their naturally
keen powers for observation have been
trained for centuries TO read character
and iife-hist0ry from the face, that
certain gen2ralities always obtain with
certain types Of hands and faces, that
general facts may apply to any ones
past history and that only what
comes to pass Is remembered out OF
the mass OF information given one, and
you have the key to their apparent un
CanLy knowledge Of past and present.

New Kind of Water Motor.

The Mohave Miner says: j. A.
Walker, who claims to have invented
a water wheel capable of generating
power from river current, has entered
into a contract with the Quartette
Mining Company to put in several OF
his wheels on the Colorado river at
Quartette and furnish electric energy
for all power required in running the
mill and mines of the company. The
mines are eighteen miles from the
river, but power can be readily trans
mitted that distance without appreci-
able loss. If Mr.. Walkers scheme
is a success it will re~volutionize min
ing in this country, as the current of
of the Colorado river is capable of
generating millions of horsepower
from a place where it debouches from
the Grand canon and enteres Mohave
I'M south of Needles.

III MUZZLED CABINET.

Having muzzled the army and navy,
sur strenuous President by the grace
OF an assassin's bullet has applied the
gag to his cabinet. 1t is announced
given his official family to understand
that they are to keep their mouths shut
and their opinions to themselves. If
there is to be any talking done he will
do it for the whole administration
and as for having opinions, they must
be submitted to his censorship before
being conuded to the public, says the
st. Paul Globe.
That there is resentment on the part
Of the cabinet members is only natural.
The members of that body are men Of
intelligence quite equal to that of the
boItuitous President, and his autocratic
action is the most fragrant insult inn
aEinable.
How long, think you, will it be be-
tore Roosevelt undertakes to muzzle the
Supreme Court? And that done, how
long before he will order the press of
he land to submit opinions for his
approval and get from him permission
~ express views upon subjects of pub
Nc Importance?
1t remains to be seen whether the
members Of the cabinett will endure
the airront in silence, or indi-
cate their resentment by ~resigning.
It is true that Roosevelt is gathering
around him a set of cabinet officers
whose opinions are not worth much
upon the affairs of their respective
departments, and each new appoint
nont indicates that he prefers men
who will be as clay in the potter's
hands rather than statesmen of pro-
nounced and we'll founded views upon
che affairs of the nation. He wants
men who will be chief clerks and ac-

nomination of their chief in 1904.

NEW BUTTON FAD
Made With Hamm's Crown Seal Beer
Bottle COrks and a Bent Pin.

Some genius has discovered that by re-

seal cork, such as are used by the Theo.
Hamm Brewing Company Of st. Paul,
and inserting a pin in the cork after
wards placing the cork back in the seal
as it was before, a unique button can be
made. Whoever sprung 1t first, the
trick is now well known, and it is quite
the fashion to wear one of these home
made buttons on the coat or vest lapel.
The crown seal cork is something
new in the way of air-tight sealing for
beer bottles that the progressive Hamm
Brewing company has introduced for use
on its We'll known bottled beer namely:
Export, Preferred Stock, Old Lager, Elk
celsior and Hamm's Pale Beer. The
crown seal is made of strong tin like
an ordinary tin box cover, except that
the edges are f1uted and there is thin
piece of cork inside. This seal is fasten-
ed on the bottles by a machine that
clamps 1t on air tight, and at the same
time 1t is very easy to remove.
The top Of the seal is beautifully li+h-
ographed in fac simile of the well known
