The coming of autumn is heralded by the blooming of the chrysanthemum, and the beginning of the festival of the kiku finds the gardens blazoned with vivid reds, yellows and pinks The emperor's birthday falls upon the third of Noyem- Der, and by curious coincidence the sixteen petaled chrysanthemum is the imperial crest, which combination of cir- cumstances invests the flowers with an especial dignity and importance. The second imperial garden party is given when the chrysanth emums are in bloom, but these wonderful flowers are not re- served for royalty. Indeed, westerners never cease to marvel how the most gor- geous flowers, which an American florist would sell for several dollars apiece. are bought by the poorest Japanesefo for few coppers.
 The early springtime brings with it the starrying of the plum trees with the pink and white flowers, followed very soon after by the bursting of the cherry blos- soms, calling the fower-loving Jap to renewed rejoicing and more devotion. June is the month for the iris fetes at Horikiri, where these beautiful, sedate lilies stretch away In long lines. Then follow host of flower festivals too nu- merous to mention. But we must speak of the wonderful July flower, the wis teria, which is the finest feature of every pretentious garden. Scarcely a house. holder but boasts his trellis of purple glory A peculiarity of the love of the Japanese for the flowers is their recog- hilton and devotion to the different va rieties in their turn. They do not enjoy grea2, confused masses of different fow- CTS, but delight to see each flower group by itself On this characteristic Sir Ed- win Arnold says:
 toThe Japanese are, perhaps, the only people who do not allow the flowers to embarrass or overWhelm them. Sensi- tive in every nerve to the glory of line and splendor of color in nature, they economize their admiration and confine it to a profound enjoyment of few, in stead of the wholesale collection in- duIged in by western people. They would no more regard one of our vast bouquets or bowpots as a proper mode of arranging flowers than we should call the motley crowd of spectators in the pit of theater an evening party Their leading idea, entirely opposite to ours, Is to get the full delight of shape and outline of natural balance and con- trast from one or two floral specimens, and by no means to mass and thereby confuse them so that even the truest eye and most subtle nostrils become be- wildered in the tumult of beauty like the ass of Buridanus between his equal bun- dies of hay"

Bread Mixed with sea-water

The fashionable bakers window con- tained only a sheaf Of wheat, loaf and a bouquet of arbutus. The interior of his shop resembled a parlor. The bread was all concealed. "The latest fad in my business" said the man, lis bread made with sea water, instead of with fresh water. This bread is good for dyspepsia. It. has 8 saltier taste than we are accustomed to, but. is very palatable. In fact, he who likes salty things is apt to like it better than the other kind of bread. A physician asked me about three months ago to make some Of this bread for his patients. At first l made six loaves day, but now make 30 My sea water comes up to me from Atlantic City three times a week. The dyspeptics who buy the bread say it is the only kind they can eat fresh without discomfort. They say. too, that it has medicinal effect on them; that they have been better since they took it up. p."-Philadelphia Record.

JAPAN'S FESTIVALS
Land Where Flowers Are Worshiped
 and Admired by All Classes.
August Is the Month When the Lo- tus Blooms and Fetes Are Held in Its HOn0r-Many Other
 Flower Festivals.

The dweller in the western hemisphere views the far away island kingdom of Japan as a sort of fairy land, where everything is in miniature, nature is al- ways beautiful and life is one gay. sweet song. That it is land of festivals is true. It is said that when the old Chi nese calendar was in use the twelve month was actually divided into 365 fete days. The death of former sovereigns. the birthdays of saints and princes, and the days when the favorite flowers 'budded, were so many excuses for fairs and spectacles, festivals and amuse- ments. But western ideas have pushed their way into Japan and the year. has been subdivided officially according to the western way, but flower worship still sways the hearts of the people, and the seasons of bloom and blossom still di- vide it's popularity into the time of camelia, the plum, the cherry, the wis., teria. the lotus, the chrysanthemum and the maple. We speak of spring or autumn while the Japanese as naturally say the season of the cherry or the maple leaves, for they inherit from many gen. erations of fiower-foving ancestors a gayety an enthusiastic spirit which they only could throw into nature-fes- tivals.
 During the present month the great lotus show is in progress. All the pink buds sacred to Buddha over the whole of Japan open at sunrise. The people from the upper classes to the lower. are sensitive to the beauties of the blossom and devote much time to visits to the places where the flowers may be seen in their most gorgeous luxuriance. The lotus festival is most beautiful, it is said, at Kamakura. There, in the grounds dedicated to Hachiman, god of war, acres of fields half under water form beds for the great flowers and their bluish-green plates of leaves. Tn cities like Nagoya, which boast old feudal cas- ties, the triple meats become solid floors of leaves from which the pink and white blossoms rise. The enchanted beholders look down from the little overhanging tea houses into the very heart of them.

It is an odd fact, says writer in Ev- erybody's Magazine, that poverty drives few children to the stage door, and, invariably, the successful juyen- He actor is the child of comparative wealth. Lores Grimm, star at the Chfldren's theater last season, may be said to have a fortune in his own right and even brain enough to manage it. for, during his summer vacation from stage work, it is his delight to buy out a news store, build up a large custom. then sell out at great advance in the fall. In fact, he secures all his the atrical engagements and makes his own terms. Anita Heckler has pros porous father, yet this little maid is the fourth of q family of girls to grace the stage, and so it goes, through the list of the successful ones, at least. | do not recall an instance. however, where a father capable of earning a living has wished to place his children on the stage; it is invariably the mother who is ambitious that her youngsters pursue histrionic career.

When Columbus discovered America, in 14e2, there stood in mountain gorge In Cherokee county, North Carolina a tulip poplar tree that was then 400 years old. For four more centuries it grew and flourished, and was recently felled in order that it might enter into an exhibit for the worlds fair at St Louis. The great tree was thirteen feet in diameter at the base when it was cut The gorge in which it grew was so inaccessible, being forty miles from a railroad, that it was impractica- ble to obtain section near the base. Forty feet up, where the tree was a little more than six feet in diameter, a disk was cut This has been pol shed, and will occupy place in front of the hunters lodge. On the polished disk has been engraven the important historical events of the old North state from the time that Sir Walter Raleigh, the gallant cavalier from Queen Eliza. beth's court, took possession of the land in his sovereign's name on July 4 1884, through the colonial days, dur ing the revolution and up to the pres ent time Another section of the won derful old tree will stand like a monu. ment in the forestry exhibit. It is ten feet high. A portion has been dressed
 polished and varnished, while the low CT portion is covered with the bark.

PULITZER.

Joseph Pulitzer was born in the very heart of the masses, in poverty and obscurity. He was born under flag of oppression. born of savagely op-' pressed race, born into conditions which could not fail to stir good mind of generous instincts to pas sionate hatred of injustice, a passion ate longing for equality and freedom. He came to this country a mere boy and, several years before he was of age, served in the union army in one of the German regiments. At the end or the war he was mustered out into poverty, but with some knowledge of the English language and some ac- quaintance with the politics and peo- pie of this country. Perhaps the most amazing instance of his triumph over difficulties is his learning of the English language-learning to speak and write and think it with perfect fiuency, witch an accent so slight that 1t is never noticeable unless one lis- tens for ft-with a knowledge of syn onyms and shades of meaning that would excite the wonder and the envy of a student of English to whom it was the mother-tongue.
 5s For a few years he had romantic but cruelty hard career as day laborer politician in the German quarter of St Louis. German newspaper reporter By inceSsant toll, by a marvellous ex- Intuition of mental and physical capac- ity, mental and physical courage, he became politician i'll larger way, recognized public speaker both in German and in English, earned small competence in German journalism be- fore he was thirty. and retired to de- vote himself to economics -and poli- ties. Then he became proprietor of a bankrupt, rusted out worse than dead St Louis English paper-what- ever else it then was, it was not a new spaper.
 In about five years he transformed it from the. deadest newspaper in the United States to the most alive. How :?
 By making it the same sort of paper that he was of man-nervous, keen, inquisitive, furious against class and caste and privilege, against corruption in public office, against injustice ev- anywhere. against that favoritism in the publication of news which wins the approval of the 'sbetter class" by publishing none of its wrong-6 -6oings, but everything of an interesting na- tl1re in the doings and Misdoings of the humble His was newspaper full of personalities of all kinds.

At the end of last season, Prof Ed win G, Dexter of the University of H. linois made the most thorough and i'm partial collection of football statistics ever undertaken in this country, says a writer in the Sporting News. He was anxious to get at the truth regard ing the accidents and dangers of cols dege football, and his tabulated queries were answered by the presidents or other responsible officers of more than seventy universities and colleges. Some of the results were surprising even to the most ardent defenders of the game who had been misled by sensational newspaper congregations. The re ports covered the period of the last ten years during which time no less than 22,776 students had played foot ball in the institutions enumerated. During the decade the number of men injured sufficiently to lose time from their classes was 654, the permanently injured numbered only eight, and only three men were reported as having died from the effects of the game. One of these fatalities was due to disonedl- ence of the physical directors orders' and another played a hard game with no preliminary training. Or the lew permanent injuries reported. four men ultimately recovered.

Didn't Sir Thomas Lipton, ''the greatest and noblest sport of them all, go little bit out of his way in having that Irish flag removed at that Manhattan Beach dinner? It probably filled the bill so far as the man who decorated the table was concerned, even if it didn't have a crown.
