It appears that there are many peo- pie in Paris who want work. There are thirty-two thousand applicants on the waiting list for positions on the Metropolitan underground railroad. Employees of this railroad work ten hours a day in noxious atmosphere so dangerous to health that few last more than two years. In spite of dan gers, low salaries, scarcely over a dol lar per day for the highest, and long hours, the company is besieged by ap- plicants.

David Rowland Francis, president of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company, was born at Richmond, Ken lucky, fifty-three years ago. He went to St. Louis when sixteen, was gradu- ated from Washington university there and, entering commercial life, worked his way Up until he founded the we'll known D. R. Francis & Brother Com mission Company, grain exporters. He became mayor of the city in 1885 on the Democratic ticket by majority of l. 200, after overcoming an adverse ma- jority of 14000 votes. He gave a good business administration, instituting irn- portant reforms, and three years later was nominated for and elected governor of Missouri. In 1896 he was chosen by President Cleveland to the cabinet as Secretary of the Interior. When called upon to head the St. Louis worlds fair enterprise he took up the work enthu- siastically and made a trip abroad in its interests, paying personal visits to the heads of most of the European countries.

The fact that we devote the largest floor space of any house in Connecticut to our trunk stock means that we have the most complete line of every kind of trunks. Small steamer trunks, made to stand the wear of European travel, good sized family trunks, fine ladies dress trunks, and the fine large trunks which every travelling man must have. Most of them are made from seasoned bass wood, heavily bound with brass corners and leather straps.

FLOWERS coLoRED TO ORDER.

! We know that horticulturists create
almost at will flowers OF varied colors
by practising forced culture, artificial
selection and capitalization, in this way
colors Still, in any case, the color of
the flower. although it is possible to
give birth TO millions 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 xanthic series-ye1low,
| yellowish green, orange, red-and the
| cyanic serieS-blue, indigo, violet.
Never has flower OF the first series
passed into the second, nor has the re-
verse taken place; never has garden
er. no matter how clever he may be,
been able to obtain blue roses.
The florists, however, obtain this
color. The method of the florists is
that classic one which has been long
employed In the case of violets, for ex-
ample, making them green with ann.
nonia, white with vapors of sulphurla
acid, &c. In this case, however, it is
the coloring matter of the flower itself
which is modified, although in the pro-
duction of green carnations the met
hod adopted is that of artifcially in

were colored. It appeared that a
young girl accidentally poured into the
water of a vase containing white car
nations coloring matter with which she
was painting a rose leaf green. What
was her establishment to see the car
nations lose their white color and as
sumo a beautiful green tint; from this
to the regular manufacture of the flow
ers was only a step.
All plants. however, do not LEND
themselves in an equal manner to
these vagaries. The carnation, hya-
cinth, orange flower gilly flower, iris,
chrysanthemum and camellia are the
most easily colored, and in this respect
it is amusing to experiment with the
many hues that can be obtained. It is
only necessary to prepare 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 distributor

which alliance has had the effect of
preventing their humiliation.
Although a part of the Sioux nation.
the other tribes kept up a relentless
war upon the Poncas, as did the Paw
nees. Osages and the Kansas Indians.
What these wars left, smallpox and
the white mans vices nearly finished,
and from a total of about 5000 there
are only about coo now. The remnant
was placed on a reservation, near the
mouth of Niobrara river, in Nebraska,
and here their ill-luck followed them.
This time it was not their Indian en-
envy, but the federal government
which failed them. Uncle Sam neg
tected the terms of the treaty made
with them. and once more they be-
came nomads, forced to the hunt for
subsistence. They nearly starved to
death. and, as If destiny had some
thing worse in store for item. they
were forcibly removed to Indian Ter
ritory, where the unwholesome water
killed OFF their animals and depopu-
lated their ranks. Subsequently they
returned to their friends, the Omahas.
and then to their home in Nebraska.

countless numbers. The bison was
particularly numerous in Kansas at
one time, owing to the fact that the
buffalo grass was there most plenti-
full At times the plains were a solid,
moving mass Of monsters; as far az
the eye could see they were visible in
enormous numbers. Trains were Of
ten delayed while a herd crossed the
tracks of the Union Pacific railroad.
At one time they rOamed all over
the country. Naturally migratory, the
Indians knew their wondering habits,
and followed them. They we're in
those days of the greatest value to
the Indians. They supplied nearly all
OF their food. and millions were
slaughtered each year for the susie
nance Of the red man. Not only did
the buffalo supply food. but furnished
the robes and hides for clothing and
dwellings.
The practical extinction of the buf.
falo was not due to the Indian, but to
the white man. While the Indian
never killed more than was needed,
the white man slaughtered relent-

While the Poncas are keeping the

can be no doubt that the hunt will not
