 Schools for walters are not uncom- mon on the continent. Perhaps the two best known are those at Dresden and Frankfort, respectively each of which has, on an average. forty pupils in resi- dence.

MT. Editor. Please see tkat the com positor does not make this heading read: The cat came back" as the writer did not lose a feline but sim ply cot with folding legs and wings. Just before the recent deluge a large white object, with patch on the star board side, was seen lowering over the city, and shortly after that a much drenched cot was found near it's old sleeping ground Several tacks were missing, which is rot to be wondered at considering the number of Jacks which it was necessary to take in sail ing so far.

Mum COIOrs and Forms


 It has been interesting to note the comments on the chrysan.hemums at the show this week. Every man, wo- man and child has an idea about them and usually expresses it. Just how this idea conincides with those held by the growers is additionally interesting. To be sure. they don't talk the jargon of the scale of points employed by the judges, but in the end they arrive at the same place. They look for good color, fine form, strength and keeping qualities. A mum must be a good keeper Ca good shipper. as the profes- sion puts it), to appeal to their ideas of economy.
 For a white flower the snowy Tim othy Eaton, the Canadian that took us by storm a year ago, seems still first choice though Merza is grand, too. One good thing about this blossom from the northland is it's lateness. 1t comes to it's best at Thanksgiving time, when many, nay most, others are quite done for.
 This holds good as regards it's fol- lower of this year, the yellow Eaton which is but the Timothy done in gold en yellow. It boasts every good quality of the original Eaton, which is suffi- cient recommendation. It wins, too in being later than those two old favor ties, Major Bonaffon, Georgianna Pitcher and Colonel Appleton not to mention Pennsylvania
 Speaking of yellow. we naturally turn next to the deeper coloring boast cd by Kate Bromhaad. This is a su- perb blossom, a giant in bronze yellow. It is really of this color That won drously grown Brutus, though called bronze, is edged with scarlet, and is catalogued as crimson. (No wonder we're sometimes surprised at the color of blossom after purchasing a plant by the catalogue)
 Though there are very many iu pink, precise things, properly incurved and reserved, there's no denying that Viv- ian MoreI-picturesquel uncombed as she invariably is-wins the average ad- mirer of 'mums. She has a dash, an abandon. all her own. Perhaps heI upsetting personality has something tC do with the numerous ways in which different gardeners spell her name Vivian is a true Jap Gap 'mums dress their hair just the reverse of the sleek tressed Jap maidens). Chinese sorts by the way, are mostly built and in curved.
 The pink one named in honor of Mrs Frank Thomson is hardly grown now except for the winning of the Corker hill prizes. If you notice, it shows tn button plainly. While it adds charm ing variety to a collection and is ar addition to the show, the later varietie: do not show any button; even though they be built like mop there are pet als all over.
 In the reds Intensity holds a higl place, being of rich color. Thougl darker, Black Hawk is no more a ia vorite. All the reds show a very ligh reverse side of every petal.-Phii2del phia Record.

 Not the most valuable, but one Of the most beautiful in appearance of Australian nuggets, was the victor ian" found in White Horse gully, Ben digo. It was purchased by the parlia- ment of Victoria for $S,250 and pre- sented to the late Queen Victoria.
 A lucky find was the "Heron nugget. turned up at Mount Alexander, Vic toria, by a couple of young English men who had been only three months in Australia They returned to Eng land immediately and sold it for $2O. 400.

wATER-vAPOR EXPERIMENT.

Before the Chemical Society of Lon don, Messrs. Chapman and Lidbury re- gently gave some interesting details respecting a somewhat familiar eXperi- ment. says the London Chronicle. Every school boy knows that water can be split up by electrical action into its component gases, by hydrogen and oxygen, and that he sees as a result of the experiment the double oamunt of the former gas, which results in his writing down the formula of the fla miliar fluid as H2O. Taking water vapor as the subject of their work, Messrs Chapman and Lidbury passed into it electric sparks which were emit ted between platinum wires passed into the tube containing the vapor. The examination of the gases collected from each pole revealed the fact. that in place of the one electrode giving all hydrogen and the other oxygen alone, hydrogen was found at both. Then also it is stated that the quantity of hydrogen produced in this fashion is much greater than that seen in the familiar experiment. That some other agency intervenes here, in addition to electrical action, seems to be warrant able inference.

MIR. KNOX's VACATION.

Attorney General Knox will have his real vacation when he steps aboard the steamship Oceanic next Wednesday en route fer Paris. He said so yesterday. .. friend to whom he made the remark ventured the thought that the attorney general had already been away on va cation for more than a month. MT. Knox then explained how he has passed his time.
 Tn Atlantic City he had even a greater stream of visitors, morning, noon and night, than he has in Washington. He was lucky to get two hours a day to himself and family. He fled from At lantic City to Pride's Crossing, Mass. to visit a friend. and there business cares followed him-letters, telegrams and officials. Leaving there he went tn a private fishing club, not far from Sandusky, Ohio. To this place he was pursued by the Panama canal ques- ttion, the whole thing culminating in a cable from Assistant Attorney General Russell in Paris that now was the time to corle. Hence the attorney general will begin to enjoy his vacation when he gets beyond the reach of the wire less telegraphy on the Oceanic.-New York Herald.

Control of the Next Congress.

Both democrats and republicans claim the control of the next house Of representatives by about 30 majority- the republican estimates being Gp- parcntly much the best grounded. Not long ago some uncertainty in regard to the republican outlook was felt by Chairman Babcock of the republican congressional committee. Mir. Babcock was reported as saying: "I believe the republican party will succeed and elect a majority of the next house; but We must not forget that since General Grants term in office the republicans have succeeded only once in electing a congress in harmony with the admins tration, and that was in 1898. The gen eral state of prosperity is such that the people are busy, and, having confidence in the republican administration, take it for granted that the Fifty eighth -ungress will be republican, and over look the fact that there are about 100 southern districts solidly democratic, in which experience has taught us the futility of attempting to make cam paign, and in many of which republ can voters are either disfranchised or free ballot and a fair count denied, so that we must win 70 per cent of the deba table districts in order to secure a bare majority of the Fifty eighth congress, and must carry D per cent of the debatable districts in order to have a safe working majority"
 Since this was said it is thought that the republican outlook has distinctly mproved.-Burlington Free Press

 The Japanese are not wealthy people, nor are they, even when possessed of wealth, much given to costly, eXtrava- gant or ostentatious forms of pleasure, and it is improbable that the automo- bile will ever become the toy of fashion or the mere pleasure vehicle that it is in Europe and America.

A Chance for Sslf-Denial.

The American people feel genuine pride in Mir Roosevelt's achievements as a sportsman and athlete. They are pleased when he proves his skill with the rifle and demonstrates his prowess as hunter of big game. Mingled with their pride in his accomplishments, however, is the apprehension that bis love of vigorous exercise and of the pleasures of the chase may expose him to those accidents which the most experienced hunters do not always es- cape. This is a matter which does not exclusively concern Mir. Roosevelt. as Hong as he is president of the United States. It is, indeed, matter of na- tiOnal concern, and probably MT. Roosevelt regards it in that light. It may bc difficult for him to be as eau tious as men who have been trained 10 habits of prudence. Perhaps it would be q great sacrifice on his part if he were to place restraints upon himself and not gratify his tastes for the most vigorous forms of recreation. Still, everybody has to make sacrifices occa- sionally. Probably if President ROose- welt knew that the manly accomplish
 ments in which he eXcels were the cause of anxiety on the part of the public he would practice the greatest prudence in the future. Perhaps he would deny himself those long walks and rides in the country near the na- tional capital. Perhaps he would not spend another night in the woods near Oyster Bay. A president cannot be too careful in guarding himself against ac- cident. He belongs to the country, and not to himself alone, and must remem- Der the vast interests which are in-
 volved in his Welfare.-BaltimOre Sun.

than their English sisters. The dis parity, he estimates, grows by about one thousand annually, so that third of the immigration that he wishes might set in from Great Britain would merely go toward equalizing the eX- pansion of the Boer and British popu- l9tiOns at the Cape. Would it be worth while, he probably asks himself, to yanquish the Boers in the field, only 10 find them outstripping their con- qucrers in population year by year and laying the foundations, perhaps, for more desperate resistance in the fu- jure? The importation of three thou sand sturdy British women every year. he thinks, would solve the difficulty.

to the supreme court. While The Hague tribunal, like any other court. can act only upon cases brought vol untarily before it, and is without power to enforce its decrees, it is inn possible to doubt that the existence of such a tribunal will encourage a ire quent resort to its judgment, to the relief of international misunderstand- ings and the promotion of peace and civilization.
