Pigskin Grated on Woman.

BY using the skin of a pig two
months old the life of Mary Grant, a
cOlored woman of Richmond, Va, has
been saved. Some weeks ago the wom-
an was fearfully burned about the body
by the explosion of a lamp. Much of
her skin was destroyed, and could not
be replaced by nature. Efforts were
made to get her relatives to supply the
necessary cuticle for grating. but they
objected. The physician in charge then
procured a young white pig, which
was chloroformed, and enough of the
necessary hide removed and grated
on the woman.

SEVEN BELLS NOT STRUCK.
Signal Sounded ON All Other Vessels
Never Heard on British Ships
History Furnishes Reason.

The method of signaling the passing
of the hour at sea is well known to ev-
cry person who has taken an ocean voy-
age. Eight bells are struck every four
hours, an additional bell being struck
for each half-hour.
From six to eight in the evening is the
second dog watch, but on British ships
seven bells (7:30) of the second dos
watch are never struck. All the other
ships, even the American, strike these
bells.
During the Napoleonic wars there was
a great mutiny in the British navy.
The crews OF the fleets lying at Spit
head and the More agreed to rise stimuli
taneousIy against their officers. The
signal agreed upon was seven bells of
the second dog watch. The muriny &C
tuaIly began at the arranged time, hut
failed, the ringleaders being executed.
Ever since then seven bells of the Sec
ond dog watch has never been struck Oh
British ships, naval or mercantile.

Not for worlds would suggest that
pick wild flowers; 1t is in the hope that
children may forever have the de-
light of picking them, that this article
is written. But they should be
taught that each wild flowers is a liy-
ing, precious thing, and that to de-
stroy it thoughtlessly is a great mis-
take. The teachers throughout the
country could make themselves a
power for good in this matter, as they
do in SO many others, by teaching
the children moderation in the pluck
ing of flowers. Instead of allowing them
to go into the woods and bring back
wilted sheaves of miscellaneous blos-
SONS in their hot hands, why not send
them to definite places for limited NUM-
bers Of particular flowers which are
known to grow there, giving them sim
pie instructions for keeping the flowers
fresh until they return? The flowers
would then be in good condition for
study, and when they finally died, there
would be a feeling that they had done
some good How many millions Of flow
ers, wonder. are every year thrown
away at the roadside before the children
reach home or school, or are cast on the
ash heap as rubbish" with never a
word to suggest to the children that
1t would have been far better to have
left them in the woods. The rarer the
flower, of course, the more danger there
Is that it will disappear. The children
may pluck thousands Of the commoner
flowers without doing much apparent
harm, but one little band may unthink-
ingly exterminate the only colony OF
Ladies' Slippers or Fringed Gentians
there may be in a locality. Above all.
they should be instructed to be careful
OF the roots Of the plants; the latter may
survive the picking OF the blossoms. but
when the roots are torn up, there is an
end, of course. Perhaps the worst
root destroyers are those who collect
the roots for medicinal purposes. They
gather such plants as Bloodfoot and Sol
ONIONS Seal, and many others. and they
should be prevented from doing this, be-
cause these plants may be easily cuIti-
waited on q commercial scale, as similar
plants are grown for this purpose in Eu-
rope.
In many places there have been or
ganized societies for the protection
of native plants. and these are doing
for the wild flowers pretty much what
the Audubon societies are doing for
the birds.

That was a rather sweeping indict.
ment which President Henry Hopkins
of Williams college made against the
newspapers when he said in recent
address in New York that tone Of the
most potent and most continually oper-
alive causes OF crime is the vast vol.
ume of criminal suggestion flowing in
upon the public mind through various
means, but especially through the pub
lie press. In the detailed accounts of
criminal actions in the average news
paper there is minute instruction in
crime as a fine art. The reader is
taught both how to perform the crimi-
nal part and howto evade his merited
punishment" This is pretty strong
language and has been quite generally
commented upon by the press of the
country The New York Globe admits
that there is some truth in the ind.ct-
ment, but denies that it runs against
all newspapers. The real offender,
says the Globe, is the so called yellow
journal, seeking to produce sensation
rather than to print news. 1t adds:
''The fault Of the depraved press les
not so much in the prominence it gives
to police ANNALS as in its treatment Of
them. To journals that belong to this
class the murder or assault or theft
which is reported in the news OF the
day is regarded merely as material for
a story, in which, If the victim is not
a person Of importance, the criminal is
made the central figure, the hero of
what Is in many cases turned into a
mere romance. Hence every detail,
whether real or imagined, that will
heighten the effect is brought into
requisition, the sole effort being to pro.
duce in the reader a thrill of excite,

crime has no value for this purpose

The WILD FLOWERS
THEY SHOULD BE SAVED FROM
WANToN DESTRUCTION.
It Is selhshness That Prompts the
Plucking Of Thsm-Should Be
Left 10 Live Out Their
Lives

There are tens of thousands of peo-
pie who love wild flowers we'll enough
to pick them; there seem to be few In
deed who love them so we'll that
they can leave them on their stalks.
Yet those few are the real lovers of
flowers; they do not demand the
death of the objects of their love, but
let the flowers live out their sunny
lives. They seek to share their pleas
ure, not only with their fellows Of to-
day, but with millions yet unborn,
whose only flowers must be the direct
descendants of those which have been
left upon their stalks. The love which
prompts some people to gather arm
fuls of wild flowers is often Of a
selfish nature; at best it is thought
less love, having no regard for the
future.
Of course, the destruction of our wild
flowers is due to many causes, and some
of these the building Of towns and the
cultivation of farms, for example are
not to be controlled Others, like excess
sive numbering operations, may be con-
trolled in time, hut there are many
causes which may be checked almost at
once, and they must be if we would
save from determination some of our
most highly-valued plants, And this
is the very time to lay plans for checking
them, for some Of the early spring flow
ers are amongst those most badly in need
of protection. The Maydower, or Trail
ing Arbutus. for example. lovable not
only for its beauty and frangrance, but
for its associations, has already disap-
peared from many localities in which
at one time 1t was common. and is rapid
ly growing scarce in many other places.
This decrease is due largely to the gath
ering of enormous quantities for sale.
The gathering of rare or uncommon wild
flowers should be stopped by law 1t has
been stopped in some of the European
countries, but some of them waited
until it was almost too late. Until
such law can be framed and put in
force, property owners could do much
good by posting notices forbidding
trespassing -trespassing TOR the pur-
pose of gathering rare wild flowers, at
least
Another serious menace to the ex-
istence of the wild flowers is the ex-
cessive picking by school children.
