Massachusetts, Ex-Governors.
From the Boston Herald


OF twenty-five men who have been elect
ed governors of the commonwealth of Mas
sachusetts since 1851, only six, including
Gov. John L. Bates, are living. The eldest
and youngest are both active in the affairs
of the nation, while a third, John ID. Long,
who left the executive chamber on Beacon
Hill over twenty years ago, has only re-
Gently joined the ranks of n-officeholderS,
in which all his fellow ex-governors are
now included. But, like Messrs. Boutwell,
and Crane, he is still a potent force in the
political affairs Of the day, and may again
be called upon to accept office.
All the eX-governors are republicans, but
at. the age of eighty-six we find George s..
Boutwell, boiling his party and assuming
leadership in a movement that has grown
out of conditions very different from those
which existed when he was in his prime.
He Is as positive in his views and as force
full in expressing them he was when
chosen chief executive at thirty-three years
of age.
He was one of seven men born in ISIS, all
of whom were destined to become govern
ors of Massach usetts. This group included
William Claflin, one Of the five ex-govern-
ors now living. 1t was in 1862 eighteen
years after Boutwell, became governor, that
Clafiin was called upon to assume the du-
ties of the Office There were only a few
weeks difference between the birthdays of
the two men. Gov. Boutwell, having been
born January %, and Gov. Claffin March T.
The others born in 1918 were Cows. John A.
Andrew, Henry Joseph Gardner, Alexander
Hamilton Rice, Thomas Talbot and Benja-
min F. Butler.

One of the venerable tricks of the mule
deer of this country is retiring into the
heavy cover very early in the morning and
remaining there during the whole of the
day. During the full of the moon. when
they are on foot most of the night and well
fed before daylight, they are so certain to
do this that 1t is almost useless to hunt.
Especially Is this so in the early part of
the summer. There is little trouble in find
ing fresh tracks enough at daylight, stray
Cling, too, In manner that shows the deer
are on the point of lying down for the
day. Yet the more certain you become that
they cannot be more than a few hundred
feet away the more you are overcome with
wonder at your inability to see one or even
hear one run. If patient enough to work
out single track you may possibly start
deer just near enough to see or hear but
not near enough to see long enough for a
shot. / have had them almost throw the
dust in my face from their plungng hoofs,
yet could see no hair long enough to make
sure of getting the rifle sights upon it.
But even seeing one in this way is the rare
exception; for the deer instead of waiting
until they are certain you see them, more
often sneak off with silent step and low
cred head, SO that while you are wonder
ing where they are, they may be but few
yards away knowing they are perfectly
safe. For the evergreen robe of lilac, man.
zanita and buckthorn that covers much of
the hills of California is so dense and stiff
that a man makes slow progress in it,
while deer, that can crawl under fence
about as readily as leap it, find it almost
as easy as the open.

FLOWERS co1oRED TO ORDER.
By Simple Method Beautiful Effects
Have Been Obtained.

from COSMOS.
We know that horticulturists create al
most at will flowers of varied colors by
practicing forced culture, artificial selec-
ton and naturalization. in this way obtain
ing a very extended scale of colors. Still,
in any case. the color of the flower, al
though it is possible to give birth to mill
Ions of varieties. can only be modified
within certain limits. With reference to
this fact the colors of flowers have been
divided into two great categories, the KAN
THO series-yellow, yellowish green, orange,
red-and the ,cyanic series-blue, indigo,
violet. Never has a flower Of the first series
PASSED into the second. nor has the reverse
taken place: never has gardener, no mat
ter how clever he may be. been able to OBJ
tain blue roses.
The florists. however. obtain this color.
The method of the florists is that classic
one which has been long employed on the
case Of violets. for example. making them
green with ammonia. white with vapors of
sGlphuric acid &c. In this case, however,
Il is the coloring matter of the flower itself
which Is modified. although in the produc-
ton OF green carnations the method
adopted is that Of artificially introducing
ccloring matter into the tissues of the
plant. the coloring matter then being n
corporated into the petals.
When the first green carnations appeared
in Paris the city was seized with astonish-
much as two francs apiece for the flowers.
The municipal authorities instituted an in
vestigation and soon discovered how the
flowers were colored. It appeared that
young girl accidentally poured into the
water of vase containing white carna-
tons coloring matter with which she was
painting rose leaf green. What was her
establishment to see the carnations lose
their white color and assume beautiful
green tint: from this to the regular manu-
facture of the flowers was only step.
All plants however. do not lend them
selves in an equal manner to these yagaries.
The earnation. hyacnth. orange flower.
gflly flower, iris. chrysanthemum and ca
mellia are the most easily colored, and in
this respect 1t Is amusing to experiment
with the many hues that can be obtained.
1t is only necessary to prepare a coloring
solution. then cut the stem of the flower
and place 1t in the solution. The plant
draws up the water and little by little the
colOring matter is distributed throughout
the plants tissues. A common gilly flower
placed in a solution of light green analine
dye is quickly transformed, at the end of
twenty minutes the white parts being blue,
the yellows green and the reds violet.
Many other effects may be produced in the
same way.

The Cars Many Houses.

FROM NJ a. r.
prominent and distinguished member
Of the large Russian colony in Paris, writes
my Paris correspondent, has been giving
French interviewer amazing accounts of
the magnificent possessions and properties
of the car. In all he is the master of 100
palaces and chateaux, scattered about all
over his vast empire, and each one of them
is marvelously furnished and marvelously
filled with servants. Something like 5000
buffers. grooms, footmen, Wallets, chefs,
coachmen, gardeners, ETC., are housed in
the hundred residences, and their total sal
aries amount to the enormous sum of 90
600, francs, or 100000
In the many stables are some 5000 horses.
while the heads of cattle may be placed at
&c, 600; but even the distinguished and Well

colony hesitates at stating the number OF
Inhabitants of the cars kennels, the dogs
being entirely innumerable. Naturally, the

ARE WE POLITEp
Foreign Critics Declare That American
Manners Lack Polish.

From Good Housekeeping.
A discussion has been raging in the Lon
don press on the question, Does politeness
pay? Correspondents point out that not
only have the ancient courtly ways fallen
into disuse, but that even the commonest
courtesy of daily life is fast becoming un-
fashionable. Perhaps the most novel argu-
ment advanced was that the American ma
ton, VIGOROUSLY the most impolite In the
world" has managed to forge to the front
in business and craftsmanship, and has
thereby demonstrated that politeness does
not pay, while Spain, with it's courteous
grandness, and France, famous for polite"
ness, are not such noticeable examples or
success among the nations
Apart from the discussion of the question,
which hardly deserves to be taken serl-
ously, the pungent criticism of the Amrei-
can nation furnishes food for reflection.
Are we less polite than our neighbors? asks
Robert Webster Jones in the October
Housekeeper. Outwardly. yes. 1t must be
admitted that most of us have been too
busy settling a new country and striving
for bare existence to put the utmost degree
of polish of which we are capable upon our
manners. In England the conductor of the
omnibus says, THANK YOU as he receives
the fare. In France the gendarme on the
street corner is the personification of cour-
tesy as he answers the strangers inquiries.
No such examples of politeness are fur
nished by public servants in this country.
In the native courtesy that springs from
the heart we yield to none, but our manners
sometimes afford room for criticism.
But we are learning fast, and, really,
most impolite in the world is putting 1t
little too strongly. Granting that We are
already first sin business and statesman
Ship may We not hope some day to at
tain equal precedence In courtesy and come
to be known as the most polite nation in
the WOrld?'

The Kaiser's Cooks.
From Stray Stories.

From Stray Stories.
Feeding the German emperor is no light
task. Despite all that is said about the
kaisers Spartan habits, there are few mon
archs who keep more elaborate tables. He
has no fewer than four chefs-Schlieden-
sucker, German; Harding. an English
man; an Italian and Frenchman-so that
he can have his meals for the day served
in the style of whatever nation he may
happen to fancy. Each of these chefs has
his staff OF assistants, while, in addition,
there is an individual who may safely be
described as sausage maker to the kali
SER" His majesty is very fond of the huge
white frankfurter sausage. and has a sup
ply of them made fresh every day in his
own kitchen. When engaged in maneuver-
ing his army on big field day these frank
furters and bread, washed down with lager
beer, invariably form the kaisers luncheon.
In addition to all these cooks, there is
special staff to prepare meals for the
younger of the princes and the princess.

PENNSY'S BIG TREE.
White Oak, 33 Feet in Circumference,
Spread Of 115 Feet.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Prof. J. T. Rothrock Of the department Of
botany at the University Of Pennsylvania,
and until recently state commissioner OF
forestry, In an article in the August issue
Of Forest Leaves. the publication OF the
Pennsylvania Forestry Association, gives
the measurements of giant white oak
which he says is, so far as he knows, the
largest of its kind growing in Pennsyl-
vania
This tree which is near Kutztown, Berks
county, has an estimated height of IS feet
inches and measures I'm its greatest spread
1O4 feet At the ground its circumference
is 81 feet, four feet higher the circumfer-
ence Is 10 feet 10 inches, and at six feet IL
spans IS feet and inches. The article is
illustrated by two pictures of this mann
moth tree, which is of remarkable SYM
metry and beauty.
There Is, however, still larger white oak
growing almost within the limits of the
city of Philadelphia, probably known to but
few of the thousands of residents in its
vicinity.
According to measurements made by Mr.
Marklay Wilson of Thomas avenue, West
Philadelphia who assisted by Prof.
Waldo of the University Of Pennsylvania.
this tree reaches height, found by tri-
angulation, of 80 feet. The branches have
a spread of Ill feet from north to south and
ground the circumference is 80 feet; at four
feet, % feet, and at six feet the still great
er circumference of % feet inches. Care
full examinations point to the age of this
monarch of the forest primeval as about
700 years. Unlike the tree at Kutztown,
which is hollow, this one is sound. There
is a tradition that under its sweeping
branches was held the last council of the
Delaware Indians. Close by are two
stumps of great size, one an 6ak and the
other gum.
The tree is in Yeadon township, Delaware
county, just across Cobb's creek at the city
line and north of Mount Moriah cemetery
1t can be reached by trolley for a 5-cent
fare by way of Baltimore avenue, 9th
street and Thomas avenue.
By way of comparison it is interesting to
mention the. famous cypress in Bartram
Gardens, with which most PhiladelphianS
are familiar. This tree, according to the
legend, was brought from Florida in his
saddlebags by John Bartram, the friend OF
Franklin, in the year 1872. 1t is now dead.
but it's size, which approaches that of these
huge oaks illustrates the much more rapid
growth of the cypress.

"Trippers' in Palestine.
From the Chicago News.

Palestine, it is said, is being despoiIed by
tourists. A scientist writes: Many OF
these visitors are mere 'trippers, with no
real interest in or knowledge of the history
of Palestine, as the astounding questions
they PROFOUND to residents abundantly
prove. But all are eager to possess at any
price, however exorbitant what they call
curios' as mementoes of their excursion.
To meet this demand tribe of dealers has
sprung up all over the country, each en-

Ward for Alcohol Patients.
On the third floor is the alcoholic ward.
where patients suffering from alcoholism m
all Its forms will be treated. The rooms
were placed in this section of the building,
as such patients are apt to be noisy and
might disturb the patients In other sections
Of the hospital. The rooms are attractive
ly fitted and are strongly built. The en-
CINE and storage rooms occupy all of the
first floor. The cold storage plant for the
entire hospital is on this floor. The hos
pital does not own an ice machine and must
depend on cold air obtained from purchased
ice. The only feature of the improvements
which was placed in the old main building
Is new electric elevator to be used for
transportation of patients from one floor
to another.
All of the improvements at the hospital
have been completed and have been in use
for two weeks or more so that things are
running smoothly. All of the equipment of
the new building is not new but most of it
is, and the old Is being used to help out
the new. BY direction of the executive
committee of the board of directors guide

their invitation to examine the improve
ments, SO that everything can be seen and
