AMERICAN HAWTHORNS.
Have Come in the Last
r Few Years,

The explorations of botanists have
developed, during the past few years,
certain facts concerning the Amer
ican hawthorns which constitute one
of the surprises in the field Of bot
any, says the Boston Transcript. To
the merely lay mind the mention of
the hawthorn commonly suggests
only an attractive ornamental tree
of English, or at least Of European
origin; the idea that there are spe-
cies indigenous to our own soil prov
ing generally an interesting but quite
novel bit of information. And it
may be added that although stu
dents Of the North American sylvia
have always been we'll aware of
number Of fine native species, they
TOO, it seems, until very recent years,
had but faint comprehension Of the
somewhat astonishing facts.
SO far as is now known, the prin-
cipal home of the hawthorn is North
America. England has but single
species, Crataegus oxyacantha, which
with few others of continental
Europe have in the hands of garden
ers and hyb,idizers, been so greatly
differentiated that their various ori-
gins have become perplexed ques-
ton. Japan too, for wonder, has
only ope species, and but two or
three are yet known as Indigenous
to China, though this great field may
Weld others to more exact research.
American forests, however, abound
in them. They are distributed from
Newfoundland to the Pacific, and
southwark to Texas.

new law which says all executions must
take place in the state penitentiary.
The execution took place in the exc
cution chamber in the east wing of the
penitentiary. Guglelmo was led from
his cell on the ground floor of the wing
up the stairs to the chamber OF death
and then up another short flight ol
stairs to the scaffold.
Before the black cap was put in place
the condemned man was allowed to
speak for about ten minutes Then the
cap was adjusted and his limbs were
secured and he was placed upon the
fatal trap. At the back of th- ecaffold
two handles a. tac ed to wires were
seen projecting from wooden box
These were grasped by Superintende mt
james and Warden Curtis of the peni-
tentiary and upon signal both pulled
the handles at the same time, springing
the trap, and Frank Guplielmo dropped
into eternity.

TIE BANK OF FRANCE.
a Discussion That VIII Arise on the Oues-
tion OF Renewing the Charter.

a Discussion That VIII Arise on tho Ques
tion OF Renewing the Charter.
The subject of renewing the priv
ileges of the Bank of France will short
ly come up for discussion in the cham
ber, after having been in allegiance
since 1892, when the senate approved 4
bill for the purpose.
That bill, says the Edinburgh Scots
man, has not since been modified, and
the provisions included in it will, it is
thought, be adopted without material
alteration. One Of them, which was
to empower the bank to increase its
note issue from $500, ,000,000f. to a.
100000, ,0O0f., was passed as far back
as 1898. The charter expires on De-
cemher 81, 1895, and the proposal is to
extend it for further period of 20
years from that date, in consideration
OF the bank making certain concessions
to the state.
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank is to foregO all future
interest on the government debt,
amounting to 140,O0O,000f., and not
to demand repayment of the capital so
long as the charter is in force. The
bank is to undertake the service of the
national debt and transact other busi-
ness for the treasury. both at the head
office and branches, free of charge, and
make an annual payment to the latter
Of 2,OOO,O00f. during the first year
of the currency of the new charter,
and 2,5OO,OOOf. per annum subsequent
ly. 1t is to open several new branches.
and make advances to agricultural CO.
operative societies.
1t is lot improbable that an effort
will be made to convert the bank into
state institution, but such a project
does not command support either in
financial or ministerial circles, and is
not in the least degree likely to meet
with success.

WOMEN IN HIGH POSITIONS.
Many Are Forging to the Front in
Various Lines Of Business
hs- and Labor.

One OF the largest railroad CORPORA.
tons in this country has decided tha,
the female stenographers in it's employ
Will not be allowed to qualify for pro
motion. nor shall they be eligible TO,
its pension list. This is a sweeping de-
cision, and probably represents senti-
ment other than that OF the corporation,
says the Baltimore American. Fifty
years ago no one imagined that woman
could be a stenographsr, and the idea
OF their entering the ranks Of men to
compete in heavier brain work would
have been regarded as ridiculous. 1t
cannot be said that they have conquered
every branch OF endeavor, but they have
done wonders In the third OF century,
and they may even dissipate the pretu-
dice OF this western railway corporation
before the half Of the present century is
reachAd.
The reason for their exclusion may
come from the employees. The aggress-
iveness OF women has in a number of in
stances led to combinations of their fell
low male workers against them-a kind
OF self-defense movement which can
scarcely be criticised severely, for the
women have pushed the men out OF some
occupations which formerly belonged
to them exclusively. The majority of
clerical railroad positions can hardly be
said to be beyond the capacity Of bright,
brainy women; the management, how
ever, may have inferred that those Sc
lected for the higher Offices are often
drawn from those clerical departments,
and there have been notable instances OF
such cases.

What for? If you ask her she will tell
you she doesn't know. She just feels
nervous, that's all. A man is apt to
have very little sympathy with this con-
dition in his wife. He can't see any
earthly reason why she should cry. She
has plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and he
does everything he can, he thinks, to
make her happy; and in spite of that,
she sits down and cries softly to herself,
apparently without any cause or reason.
But there is a cause, and that cause is
some disorder or disease of the delicate
womanly organism. Unhealthy drains
have taken away the vital force. Infam-
nation is fretting the nerves of the
whole body. If women did but under
stand the intimate relation of the gen.
eral health to the local health of the
delicate wo1nanly organs, they would
realize that the quick way to establish
the general health is to cure the local
disorders. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription dries the drains that enfeeble
women, heals inflammation and ulcera-
ton and cures female weakness. 1t is
medicine that can absolutely be relied
upon to make weak women strong and
sick women well. 1t contains no alco-
hol, and is entirely free from opium,
cocaine and all other narcotics.
Women suffering from disease in
chronic fornl are invited to consult DR..
Pierce, by letter, free of charge. DR..

Natures Best Remedy.

Laughter is undoubtedly one Of Ma
lures greatest tonics. 1t brings the
disordered faculties and functions into
harmony, it lubricates the mental
bearings and prevents the friction
which monotonous, exacting business
engenders. 1t is a divine gift be-
slowed upon us as a life preserver, a
health promoter, joy generator, a
success maker.
Life, with the average American, is
too serious at best. Never lose an op-
portunity for relaxation from the
stress and strain of your business or
profession. Every draught of laugh
ter, like an air cushion, eases you over
the jolts and the hard places on life's
highway Laughter is always healthy.
1t tends to bring every abnormal con-
dition back to the normal. 1t is pam
acea for heart aches for life's bruises.
1t is a life prolonger. People who
laugh heartily keep themselves in
physical and mental harmony, and are
likely to live longer than those who
take life too seriously-Success Mag

From the days of the Pharoahs a

the Great Lakes in touch with the At
lantic through the Hudson River.
There was the Manchester Canal, the
Kiel Canal and the 500 Canal. The
Panama Canal is in near prospect,
ship canal between the inland seas and
the Mississippi River is in mind, and
now comes a proposition to join
Lakes Superior and Michigan 135
miles west Of Sault Ste. Marie. 1t is
contemplated to utilize White Fish
River, which flows from very near the
north shore of the northern peninsula
Of Michigan southwark into the Little
Bay de Noquette, due north or Chi
cago. Of the forty niles across the
peninsula only about sixteen would
need to be dredged.
The time is perhaps not distant
when engineers will cut canal
through the base Of the Michigan pen
insula and thus couple up Lake Huron
and Lake Michigan. A ditch 155 miles
would reduce by $50 miles the all
water route between Buffalo and Chi
cago. The route across the Michigan
peninsula which has been suggested
lies from Toledo on the east to South
Haven on the west. The topography
of the land presents none of the great
obstacles which were overcome in the
Erie Chesapeake and Ohio and other
great American canals. The COM
merce of the Great Lakes is vast
enough to deserve all the short cuts
which engineering skill and wealth
can command.

TO HAVE CLEAN HOTEL.
Ship Like Spanish Gal1eon Will Be
California Hosiery.

An ocean hotel, built in the style Of
the Spanish galleons Of the fifteenth
century, says the New York Press, is
one of the latest additions planned for
the city of Venice, new resort that
has been opened on the California
coast, and both in appearance and in
tention it will be unique. The high,
square stern and bullying bow, the
tapering masts with their quaint and
clumsy sails, the decks and outward
appointments, all will be faithful re-
productions of the ships that first
crossed the Atlantic and discovered
America. Inside the vessel will be
fitted up with all the luxurious ap-
pointments Of a modern Atlantic liner.

DAVIS looked after her in surprise.
She had not spoken a word about the
need for haste if the marriage was to
be prevented; he had been expecting it all
through the interview, and she had gone
without once introducing the subject.
Perhaps she had altered her mind; any
way, that part of the business had moth
ing to do with him. Once more he open
ed his desk.
Here is the money, Sir Godfrey, and
here is the bill ready stamped to sign.

gram, if you come across any news; and
if you find another fifty necessary you
can have it on the same terms. L wish

He put his name to the bill, took up
the small roll of notes, babe the lawyer

that he could not spend a moment in
