BLOSSOMS okLY AT NIGHT
Cereus Owned by Minneapolis Woman Develops Several Remarkable
 Freak Actions.

Mrs. A. R. Cottrell, of 2019 Third street north, has night blooming cereus that is g years old, says the Minneapolis Tribune Horticulturists pronounce 1t the most remarkable plant of it's kind known to horticulture. It came into Mrs Cottrell's possession when 1t was IT years of age, up to which time it. never bloomed. But she began to care for and feed 1t with the result that 1t bloomed that year. The following year 1t was nonproductive, but each year since that time it has borne number nl flowers, some years having as many as six well-developed blossoms, besides a number of buds. The characteristic of this species of plant is they only bloom at night. Usually they open as soon as 1t has be- come thoroughly dark in the evening, or about nine o'clock, and remain open until about two o'clock in the morning, when the bloom begins the slow proc ess of folding It's petals forever, which
 requires about two hours. Two years ago the plant developed freak by one bloom remaining open constantly for 32 hours. The flower opened one even ing about six o'clock. The evening was dark and rainy. The following day developed the same kind of weather and exceptionally heavy clouds lined
 the heavens during the entire day.
 With the approaching dawn the deli cate bunch of fragrance showed no signs of its passing. During the day
 hundreds of persons viewed the re- markable freak of nature, which re- mained open until about two o'clock the following morning. This year 1t
 has borne three blooms and the fourth
 one shows signs of opening.

Campaign Against Divorce.

NEW YORK, Nov 12.-To prevent the marriage of divorced persons in any circumstance with clerical sane ton a three years campaign has open ed today in this city by leading minis ters and laymen of the Protestant Episcopal church. It is the object of friends of the cause to create such a public sentiment that the next general convention of the church, which meets in 1907, will be compelled to adopt a canon which will forbid any clergyman to solemnize the marriage of any per son as long as the divorced husband or wifA is living. These sentiments were crystallized at mass meeting in St. Agnes chapel, at which the Rev. Dr. l:Iorgan A. Dix, rector of Trinity par ish, presided.

 Simplicity-How does the centen- nial at Philadelphia compare with the
 St Louis exposition? @ Were the

 cracked? (5) What is the difference in time at St Louis and Nashville? (6) llWho composed Dixie" and Yankee
 Doodle?''
 A. The buildings at St Louis cover about four times as much ground as those at Philadelphia did, and prob ably the attendance trebled that of the centennial. The population of this country has about doubled since 1876, and the centennial was more a national affair, while the St Louis is
 an international exposition. (2) Not that I am aware of.

It was recast twice but was again cracked July 8, 1885, while being toll ed in memory of Chief Justice Mar shall (5) There is no difference by standard time; measured by the sun there may be difference of fifteen or twenty minutes. (6) Dan Emmett the minstrel, wrote a refrain contain ing the words Away Down South in Dixie,' which caught the popular fancy and the song was soon publish ed many additions having been made
 by various verse writers. Yankee Doodle" was constructed in the same manner.

GIRL WITHOUT A VOICE.
Pct of New York Hospital Breathex Thfough Wire Screen in
 Her Throat.

AS the head nurse made her round of the private ward of city hospital she had pretty little girl in tow~ not over four years old, with darB ringlets and brown eyes, plump and healthy looking and very nicely dressed, says the New York Sun. <
 A convalescent patient beckoned tu| the child. She came readily. shook hands and let herself be kissed and caressed like other children. The pa tent asked her playful questions and noticing that she answered only with smiles, put it down to shyness.
 "A little patient?" he asked
 "Yes, she's been with us some time, and guess she'll be here good whils yet" the nurse replied. Then. turning to the child. she cooed: Who's q spoiled pet?"
 The little thing spread out her hands and made courtesy with beamina smile. The pantomime plainly meant: "I am"
 "And who spoils your" the nurse went on.
 With a coy wiggle the child stretched out her arm and her tiny forefnger pointed to the nurse
 Cant she speak ?" asked the con- valescent, in a whisper.
 Don't you see the plate in her throat?'
 Sure enough, little above thn breastbone there was blackened wrinkled patch amid the white skin and in the middle of 1t there was a metal ring framing fine wire gauge screen little more than half an inch in diameter. The ribbons at her neck half hid it.
 '.She breathes through that. said the nurse, .-the upper part of the air passage is completely closed. z
 And will she never be able tq speak?" asked the convalescent
 "I'm afraid not" said the nurse. "It's a bad case. E
 When the specialist who knows aII about it was asked what the child'z chances were, he said:
 s'I think the nurse exaggerates. Women like to take the sentimental view. It was diphtheria case, and think the chances are excellent that the trachea-the air passage. you know-will be dilatod and will re- sume Its normal functions That ia what occurs in vast number Of cases."
 .'But if not, might she grow up thai way, never able to speak, and breath- ing through that metal thing--becoma a woman and grow old ?''
 The specialist hesitated little.
 "Oh. well," said he, "in large ntm- Der of cases we restore everything to the normal condition in the course uf 8 year or so, and then, you know we'll, you know they're very liable to pneumonia, breathing that way through an artificial opening

Crime of Perjury Decreases.

The current notion that perjury is one of the crimes that are on the in crease is not borne out by the figures just issued relating to the German em- pire. In 1882 the number of persons convicted in that country of perjury was 1,6o7; in 1902 it was only 1292. the decrease having been steady from year to year. Allowing for the great growth of the population, this means a de- crease of nearly 50 per cena in two decades.

Opinion of Jap Newspaper.

A Japanese newspaper, the Kyoi- Ku-Kai, censures the schoolteachers for talking so much about the war and teaching their pupils chauvenism. It lanents the fact that of 1000 teach CTS in the public schools, 36,000 have been obliged to join the army, and asks pertinently if it is not their supe- rior education that has given the Jap anese such an advantage over the Rus sians In the present war.

Curse in Sign Language.

Minneapolis.-Geo Gilbert, a dea9 mute, accused by Edward Gailman. all- other mute. of swearing at the latters was arraigned. and, through an inter- preter, defied his accusor to prove it. Gailman's complaint was that Gilbert had used violent. indecent language, and had cursed him with great violence, all by few rapid twistings and wsvinka of his slender hands.
 When Gailman tried to repadiate th& silent words of Gilbert, the interpretex started and then informed the court that the two mutes talked in different languages, and used systems that were not alike.
 The case was complicated enough be- fore this information was offered, and in despair the police judge took 1t under advisement

In spite of the dispatches to the eff

either safe in his home, at Ping Yang

Mr.. Lee, who has been in Korea for

spent the summer Of 1902 in Mime

widely known in church circles.

might of matters political, but he did
