Fringed and Closed. Falls Most Beau tiful Flower.
 Men and women brought up in the country often stop to gaze at the two women with their hands full of purple flowers who for several days have talk en their stand on the steps of the Ar cade. The appeal to the passerby is wholly of the flowers, for these splashes Of dark blue are gentians, the fringed and closed, perhaps the best loved of the autumn blossoms.
 If flowers should claim precedence by reason of ancient ancestry, the gentian family (gentianaceae), with its 45O species, would rank among the first of natures flora. Of the whole number scattered over the face of the earth, either in pine barrens, wet meadows or in its Alpine home, not a single in diyidual of its 45O species contains poisonous properties.
 The yellow gentian is an attractive plant, often cultivated for it's use and beauty, is an exotic imported, but now frequently found in the fields and hilly lands of the Middle and Western states. Its root is the official portion used by pharmacists. The root of the fringed or the closed gentian in domes- tic use is given in decoction or infusion as a general tonic in enfeebled condi- lions.
 Gentian, the King of Illyria, is reput- ed. to be the first to proclaim publicly the medicinal virtues of the plant, hence it's generic name. However this may be, true or false, gentian and it's compounds stand among the first. "the world over," as one of the most reliable Vegetable tonics and stimulants, and as fehrifuge, antiseptic and germicide it has few equals among the vegetable remedial agents in materia medica.

 Above all, MT. Speaker must be scrupulously fair, absolutely just, in rulings which affect any of the politi- cal sections of the assembly, for the most precious attribute of the chair of the House of Commons in impar- tiality. The Speaker, like the King, is supposed to have no politics. That is now a recognized constitutional prin- ciple. Of course he must have been re- turned to the House originally as a political partisan. It follows also that on his first appointment to the Chair he was necessarily the choice, or the nominee, of the political party which at the time was in the majority.
 But whether the Speaker is first de- signated by the Government or carried by the majority of the Government, as he is being conducted by his proposer and seconder from his place on the benches to the Chair he doffs his vivid party colors be they buff or blue, and wears, instead, the white flower of 8 neutral political life, and once in the Chair he is regarded as the choice of the whole House., from which his authority is derived and in whose name it is exercised.

MORE PREPARATION.

The English aren't going to be caught unprepared on the Afghan border. It is announced from Lahore that the Ir- dian government is beginning the con- struction of straight railroad through and beyond the Khyber Pass, with view to prompt action in case Russia invades Afghanistan. General Kitcl1e- ner favors a policy of full preparation for the only danger with which India is now menaced. The menace is real, he thinks, because Russia has extended two lines of strategic railroad to the frontier of Afghanistan and keeps an The building of the Khyber Pass rail- road will facilitate the quick handling of troops and supplies in the direction of Cabul, as the Quetta railroad facili- tates movement toward Candahar. A branch line now under construction westward from Quetta toward the Per sian border will place British troops on the flank of a Russian army moving southward through Eastern Persia.

AUSTRO-HUNGARY.

The Cologne Gazette, which is often officially inspired, publishes a signif1- cant article on the future of the Aus tro- Hungarian monarchy, combating the view that it's disruption would re- suit to the advantage of Germany. Dealing with the assumption that in such an event the German provinces would naturally be incorporated with the German empire, the Gazette con- tends that their proud historic tradition would never suffer them to sink into a condition of vassalage to the King of Prussia. A still greater difficulty would arise in connection with the six millions of Czechs whom Germany could neither allow to be absorbed by Russia nor to form themselves into an independent, State which would be a constant thorn in the German side, while to subdue them would cause the shedding of rivers of blood. Further, the annexation of the Adriatic pro- vinces and the Tyrol would bring Ger many into active conflict with her pres ent ally, Italy. AS for Galicia, it would naturally fall a prey to Russia, with the consequence that the Polish ques- tion would be raised anew in an acute

SOME VERY YOUNG GENTLEMEN,

Some of the young-the very young gentlemen of Yale have been disturb ing the peace of New Haven, and the disturbance was so unusually outrag- eous that there is an unusual amount of forcible talk about it. There also seems to be an unusual disposition to give the chief offenders the punishment due them, though we observe that there is the usual talk about the difficulty of getting evidence, etc., etc.
 Probably if the city and the college authorities really put their heads and hearts together in this matter some thing can be done, and perhaps they will. Throwing fire among the people seems to be somewhat typical of the fiery Yale spirit, but it is so danger ous that it really ought not to be al lowed. So we hope that some of the very young gentlemen who did it will at least be obliged to apologize to the city or the college, or both. If they and their antics should get no official notice it might encourage some of the very young gentlemen of the city to think that they could safely go and do likewise, and as of course they couldn't no such encouragement should be given. And furthermore, if it happens that very young gentlemen of Yale can at the outset of their Yale career be al- lowed to get the notion that they are some pumpkins it will be bad for them: So we hope that the gentlemanly little devils who made the disturbance will get the amount of hell that is their due for it. Of course we mean hell in this world, and right now. We believe there is no longer any hell in any other world that man imbued with the Yale spirit need fear.

the closed or fringed gentian save a
 legend of slight to fairy queen who was denied shelter within its petals be-
 cause of the lateness of the hour in re- turning from her nocturnal fiirtatiOns- Her ladyship avenged the slight by commanding the petals of the prudish
 flower to be forever closed to the sum- light; granting full favors, however. to her less prudish sister as a reward for her open hospitality.
 Passing to fact from fancy, the blue fringed gentian stands well among the fall flowers for delicacy of texture, color, pose and form; sharing the fate of most beauties by losing it's charm as it withers and droops. Without odor or color, it seems a shrivelled wreck of its former self, while it's sister, l the closed, maintains its form and shade, of dark blue, passing into a dark cinnamon brown, with its petals closed to the last to sunlight, bee, bird or but terfiy or any living thing.

 to be the favorite with school children, both the fringed and closed varieties ekI C saGALAASAC HI sG GAASAGIS anu GOIA- tributed to the favorite catcher as a love token. Not to be first in the fields or meadows in quest of gentians is as unsatisfactory of results as "raking after'' in the harvest field.
 The fringed variety is not to be con- founded with the blue gentian, which is tiny labiate, blooming in July, with the general aspect of pennyroyal. The first of the gentians may be found late in August, and by belated individuals as late as December, in favorable sea- sons. A pure white closed or fringed specimen may now and then be found, but is not common. In passing the gentians, the gorgeous goldenrods and asters and the cardinals rich carmine plumes are out of mind, forming, as they do, rich setting to the brilliant
 hues of the naples, birches and beech es, on the hillsides-the whole a match less picture fashioned by the master hand of the Great Artist.-Providence Journal.

TALLY ONE FOR THE JuRrsFsrEM.

TALLY ONE FOR THE JJTRE SYSTEM.
 The jury system has received anti CT boost by a little thing which hls hap pened in New York ,'ity. One of the members of a jury there, after a case had been on trial for :hree or four days came to the judge and asked to be ex- cUsed because he did Ut know one wcrd the lawyers in the case had said. Tl.e man is a citizen of the United States, but he speaks English very bad ly, and understands it still less, and but for the fact that he told one of hIs relatives of the predicament in which he found himself, he might have gone to the jury room and voted in an inn portant case, involving the rights of certain parties in an estate valued at half million dollars. without having understood anything which had been said by the witnesses or by counsel or by the judge.
 Perhaps this juror wouldn't have made any mistake when it came to de- ciding the case, especially if game of cards had been played to decide it. Still. he couldn't fairly be called an exceptionally competent juror.

Evangelist Dawson tells that when he was conducting revival services in Lon don he received a message from Per- mier Balfour, asking for permission to supply the requisite telephonic appa- ratus so as to enable house party at at Balfour residence to hear the reviv- alsservices. The evangelist gladly com- piled with the request, and Premier Balfour's guests heard the services from afar. At the conclusion of the ex- hortations, Evangelist Dawson surpris- ed his vast congregation by talking straight to Lord Balfour, saying that the collection was about to be taken up and that, as his lordship and his guests had listened to the services, a contri- button from them to the mission fund would be very acceptable.
