INFLUENCE OF FLOWERS.
Looking on Healthy Blossoms Makes
the Mind Tranquil.

From the New York Sun.
II YOU stop to think of 1t there Is a GER
tain relation between the flowers that grow
in pots in your windows and your own
spirits. And, whether unconsciously or not,
you are affected in no small degree by the
blossoms and their state Of prosperity If
the flowers come ont well and bloom as
they should bloom, you are corresponding
ly elated. The sight Of them tranquilizes
the nerves TheSodor soethes the temper.
The very presence of the cheerful growing
things makes you Tcontent with the earth
and your lot upon Il. And this is felt not
only by you, bat by every other woman.
Have you not among your acQuaintances
some dear. good, kind soul who revels in
her window garden? In the winter 1t Is
filed with roses, when all other windows
stare bleak and bare into the sullen streets.
In the summer It Is twice as gay, and the
found perpetuaiiy towering over the beds
BY what has always been considered hap
-py chance, thea woman who revels In the
garden is creaMls a9I gentle soul, always
table and endowed with every virtue from
the beginning to the end Of the chapter.
And now, the beauty specialist comes
along and declares that 1t Is the influence
and that all who would enjoy tranquility
and cheerfulness must cultivate the plants
But 1t is not every woman who can cul-
tivate plants. Lack of space is one draw
back. for. in the crowded limits of the city
1t Is not every house that can have so
much as a window garden. The window
is in too much demand to be spared for
gardening purposes. But the city woman,
the beauty specialist declares can always
buy q rose, or carnation. or an Easter
lily, or a bunch of violets, and she can In
hale the fragrance and benefit by 1t.
There are all sorts of scents, and each
1,oc y<o inf fho Ind inst
as there are all kinds of medicines, each
with its own purpose In the anatomy of
the human body. The rose, for instance.
is just the thing to promote good temper.

The odor of the rose drives away nervous
headaches, and rose water, highly scented
with rose, is a recognized remedy for this
Ill. The rose also allays nervousness, for
its odor is very penetrating. and having
cured the nerves Of the head so that 1t no
longer aches, 1t gets in its good work upon
the other nerves of the body. Gradually
one becomes soothed and tranQuilized. The
woman who Is subject to nervous at
tacks should never be without a rose in
her bosom. in her hair, or in her hand;
she should always have 1t where she can
see 1t and enjoy its invtgorating influence
upOn the nerves.

BRAZIL TAKES
DECIDED STAND
Explains Her Position
Toward the Acre
Dispute.
Prepares to Meet the Bolivian
Expedition Into the
Territory.

PARIS Jan, 25-The Brazilian Legal Jon
here has issued official statement by
the Brazilian Government explaining the
latters position toward the Acre dispute
and the projected expedition into the Acre
territory of President Pando of Bolivia
The statement declares that the Brazil
ian Government has given Bolivia to un-
derstand that the contract with the
Bolivian syndicate is a monstrosity on
law. since it entails the partial alienation
Of sovereignty TO a foreign company and
that the concession is void, inasmuch as it
disposes Of territory which is at the pres
ent time the subject of dispute with Peru
The statement proceeds to say that Brazil
has always given a liberal Interpretation
TO the treaty of 1867, seeking to favor
Bolivia by procuring her facilities of COM
municatiOn on the Amazon and the Para
quay But Bolivia. having alienated to a
foreign syndicate the rights conceded to
her in the Acre territory, Brazil will now
sustain the strict Interpretation of the
treaty.
After recounting the various proposals
which have been made to adjust the dis
pute the statement concludes:
Bolivia having refused all these pro-
posals and President Pando having de-
cided to march against the Brazilian sub
jects in Acre, the President of Brazil has
decided to concentrate troops in the ad-
joining States at Matto Grasso and ANA
zonas"

foresight and sound judgment. He said:
Mr.. Melick has had opportunities for in
vestieaJion, and his wide experience in
those matters, gained as member of the
Legislature, now stands him in good
stead as secretary of the Board of Ex
aminers. He is an accurate observer and
a man Of good judgment fsWhat Mr..
Meilck says in regard to the States finan-
~cfai condition is absolutely true and can
be taken as authoritative on account of
his experience and the position he now
occupies"
The Governor was 10th to discuss the
matter and referred his interviewer to
that portion of the inaugural message
that relates to "the next tax levy" 1t
is as follows:
The tax bill passed by the last Legislature
proVided levy for the general fund mucn
smaller than is usual. Although this rendered
,M Tow TAX TAX rate possible for the current year;
which was very agreeable to taxpayers, II VIII
make a serious dram upon the surplus which
had Deen accommodating in the treasury Tor
some years. Exactly what the conditions are
VIII be made clearer by the following ngures,
be raised for the general fund for each of
the last six fiscal years Forty-ninth fiscal
year. $2553, ,G02; fiftieth fiscal year. S2.553, ,602
fiscal year. 81. $40. 222 fifty-third fiscal year
$2.15o,OOo; ftty-fourth fiscal year. s1.T50 600
The, cost Of conducting the State government
does not vary so mucn IRON year to year that
the general fund levy can be reduced million
uOiltIS IN any one year without causing the
expenditures to exceed the revenues. The de-
maEds upon the general fund in recent years
have exceeded three million dollars annually
And, even when receipts from other sources
than taxation added. the revenues of the
year are still bound be exceeded by the
expenditures, If the levy Is larger than it
has been for the last two years and especially
for the fifty fourth fiscal year
In justice to the taxpayers. taxes cannot be
within bounds. and, at the same time, to re
haoilitate the general fund. it will be necessary
for the Legislature 10 make a sincere endeavOr
to achieve economy by retrenching every need
less expense. The necessity for economy is too
plain to be questioned and while there are
many improvements In connection with the
State institutions which could be made with
good efect--while indeed, many of them are
so much needed to be really urgent-only
so many of them be undertaken can
be provided for by a reasonable tax rate.
