FLOWER SHOW IN PARIS.
Details of a Window Sill Contest Mt
the French Capital.

Deta1lS or a Sill Contest Mt
the French Capital.
A "fowered window sill contest" ar
ranged by artists, has been approved
by the authorities in Paris, says the
London Telegraph. Cabinet ministers
and the project of the Seine department
have given effectual support by each
offering prizes to be awarded to the
prettiest shows. The idea Of the con
test was first suggested during King
Edwards visit to Paris, when, on the
occasion of the fetes, a well known
Paris and London dressmaker created
a sensation by decorating the entire
front of his house in the Rue de la
Paix with masses of flowers.
An architect, M. Frantz Jourdain; a
panorama painter, M. Poilpot; the cele-
brated poster artist. NJ. Cheret; a lady
artist, Mile. Dufau, and others dubbed
together to orange the contest. Poor
and rich alike are invited to join. Sew
supply seeds, bulbs, cuttings and ever
pots Of rich soil free to competitors
who cannot afford to buy them, and the
president, NJ. Poilpot, is receiving
scores of letters from work girls anx-
ious to obtain the ~wherewithal to grow
| flowers on their seventh floor window
| stills.
On a date to be fixed the committee
will travel all over Paris in a process
sion Of cabs. noting all the shows, from
the handsomest to the humblest, and
will then award prizes proportionately
to the taste displayed by the com
petitors and to the means they had at
their disposal.

JOSEPH fULITZER In North Americas
ReviezV For May.
The editor of the North American
Review has asked me to reply to an
article recently printed in it's pages
criticising the college Of journalism
which it has been my pleasure to found
and permanently to endow in Columbia
university.
Some of my critics have called my
scheme visionary" Ii it be SO l a
at least plead hat 1t is a vision l have
cherished long. thought upon deeply
and followed persistently. Twelve
years ago l submitted the idea to Pres
ident Low OF Columbia, when it was
declined. l have ever since continued
to perfect and organize the scheme in
my mind until it is now accepted. In
examining the criticisms and misgiv.

out prejudice, anxious only to find the
truth. l admit that the difficulties are
many, but after weighing them all i'm
partially l am more firmly convinced
than eve Of the ultimate success Of
the idea. Before the century closes
schools of journalism will be generally
accepted as a feature of specialized
higher education, like schools of law or
of medicine.
The school of journalism is to be, in
my conception, not only not CONNER

An illuminating Crab.

One of the marine curiosities fshed
some time ago from the bottom of the
Indian ocean was a mammoth sea
crab, which continually emitted a
bright white light, similar to that seen
in the spasmodic flashes of phosphores-
cent luminosity emitted by the com
mon glowworm.
The crab was captured in the day
time and placed in a large tank con-
tanning specimens of fish, nothing pc.
culiar except it's immense size being
noticeable in the broad glare Of the
tropical sun.
At night. however, when all was
pitchy darkness, the crab lit up the
tank so that the other creatures in II
could be plainly seen.

The Baltimore oriole.

This handsome bird is sometimes
called the golden robin. Its summer
range includes the %southerly portions
of Canada and extends to the gulf Of
Mexico. Its exquisite plumage is
matched by it's sweetness of note. Its
rich array has doubtless helped to
teach it the fine taste it displays in
building it's nest. While busy nest
building if colored worsted and floss
silks are placed where the bird can see
them the little artist will blend the va
rious hues in it's structure with sur
prising judgment. The nest is general
ly suspended from a few small twigs
attached to the limb of some graceful
elm, the birds desire to display it's
beautiful swaying home sometimes
overcoming its instinct for seclusion.
The cruel practice is now at an end of
killing thousands of them for decora-
tive use in millinery.-Boston Globe.

The Children's king.

There once was a merry old monarch
Who ruled in a frolicsome way,
He cut up high jinks with the children
And played with them all through the
day.
"a king always gets into trouble
When trying to govern" he said,
$50 nothing but marbles and leapIrog
And tennis shall bother my head"
All, we'll, The wise people deposed him..
"You may govern the children said
they.
"Why, that is exactly what suits me"
He replied and went on with his play.
But it wasn't a year till the people
All wanted the king back again.
They had learned that a ruler OF chlldren
Makes a pretty good ruler of men.

Lack OF Sewerage In Panama.

On the entire isthmus Of Panama
there is not a rod of sewer, and only
one bathroom, says the Chicago News.
Even in the costly residence buildings
erected by the French engineers there
are no modern conyeniences. The only
water supplied for domestic purposes
is brought in barrels from distant
sources, and it breeds mosquitoes by
the million. In order to place sewer
age in Colon it will be necessary to
raise the city four feet. The entire
canal zone will have to be provided
with an extensive system Of drainage.
and to furnish an adequate supply of
pure water will involve an outlay Of
millions of dollars.

Is the most exacting profession Of
all, the n that requires the widest
and the deepest knowledge and the
frmest foundations of character, to be
left entirely to the chances of self edu-
cation? Is the man who is everybody's
critic and teacher the only n who
does not need to be taught himself?
It has been said by some that my OBJ
ject in founding the College of Jour-
nalism was to help young men who
wish to make this their vocation. 9th
ers have commended it as an effort to
raise journalism to it's real rank as
one of the learned professions. This
is true. But, while it is a great pleas
ure to feel that a large number of
young men will be helped to a better
start in life by means of this college,
this is not my primary object. Neither
is the elevation of the profession
which I love so much and regard so
highly. In all my planning the chief
end l had in view was the welfare of
the Republic. 1t will be the object

means to the one supreme end-the

All the children scatter about as

One is the stag, and the others must
run around trying to keep from being
caught by him.
If he catches any one the person
caught must join hands with him. and
they two run together until they catch
another. These three hold hands and
chase the others. So the game goes on

FOR H CHILDREN
An Indian club Trick.

All AnOlan CluD Trick.
Can you lean over, place an Indian
club ON the top of your head and keep
It balanced there?
Try it and see.
Or take a bottle. 1t will be quite as
good for the purpose.
Ii you can do this stunt, you are
ready for the trick (for we haven't
got to it yeti. With the Indian club
balanced on your head, stoop down
ana pick UP some small object like a
coin from the floor with your mouth
and rise again.
If you fail and conclude that the
trick is not as easy as it at first SEEM
ed to be, try these directions and see
II you can then succeed:
Bend your head until your chin rests
firmly against your breast. Then, plac-
ing the Indian club on your head, make
sure that it balances perfectly.
Finally bend your knees cautiously,
bringing n knee to the floor, then
lower your hands to the floor, stretch
your legs out under you and slowly
bring your mouth down to the object
that is to be picked up off the floor.
When you have got it in your mouth,
go backward through all the above
motions and return to your original
position.

Obeying Orders.

One day a farmer saw some hunts
men coming toward his field. The
field had just been planted, and the
horses would have killed the crops.
The farmer sent out a boy to keep the
gate closed, and he was told not to
open it under any consideration. The
huntsmen came up to the gate and or
dered it opened, but the boy refused to
do so. The men grew very impatient.
They threatened and bribed him, but
all in vain. The boy refused. The
Duke of Wellington stepped at the
front and said, "My boy, l am the
Duke of Wellington, and l command
that gate to be opened" The boy took
off his cap and said, II am sure the
Duke of Wellington would not want
me to disobey my masters ORDERS"
The duke took off his cap and said:
II honor the boy or nan who obeys or
ders and can resist threats and brides.
If l had an army OF such people, l
could conquer the whole world"
