Luther Burbank, of California, has
perfected a fadeless flower. The fade
less flower comes right on the heels Of
the coreless apple which a Western
fruit culturist has evolved, says the
Boston Post. The fadeless flower ought
to fill a long-felt want. A bunch Of
fadeless flowers unless they're too ex-
pensive) ought to last your lady love
quite a spell. Young men of this
try who have been the only support Of
florists can now start a bank account.
Great! Great!
A man could afford to buy his wife a
bunch of fadeless posies once every
year, whether the old ones were worn
out or not. Fadeless flowers could
always be kept on tap in the house.

As the Parson Fold 1t.

r. R. Robinson, of Elmira, N. Y, who
is at. the Savoy, tells the following
story on a minister who is a friend Of
his:
"Now, while this clergyman is not an
Englishman, 1 believe he inclines that
way, or at least his sense of humor
Does" said Mr.. Robinson. ga few
days ago a man at a little dinner pro-
pounded the following: why is a tin
can tied to a dogs tail like deathT
'The answer was, Because it is
bound to occur
"This made quite a hit with the rec
tor, and a few days later when he was
invited out to dinner one evening a
series of conundrums were passed
around.
"The divine saw his chance. and he
asked the same question: why is a
tin can tied to a dogs tail like death?
"No one knew the answer, and the
p%ropounder Immediately spoke up, Be-
cause it is sure to happen
"And he looked disappointed when
the squib didn't break a laugh."-Kan-

When an animal is killed on the rail-
ways it is the duty Of the nearest sta
ton master to make a report of the
accident to headquarters, so that the
company may be prepared with a state
ment of facts in cast of action. This
report is made on specially prepared
forms, furnished by the company.
On one occasion a newly installed
station master found himself confront
ed with the necessity of making out
his first report. Although it was a new
experience, he described the COW and
the circumstances accurately and all
went we'll down to the last line, when
he discovered that he had neglected
to question the owner of the deceased
cow concerning one important point. 1t
seemed safe, however, for him to rely
on his own judgment, and he did it.
The line was headed: disposition of
remains" Underneath he wrote with
all earnestness: "Kind and gentle."-

How to Listen tn Music.

People often get intensely excited in
listening to music-letting their emo
tons run rampant and suffering in
consequence a painful reaction of ia
tigue. If they would learn to yield so
that the music could pass over their
nerves as it passes over the strings
of a musical instrument, and then,
with the new life and vigor derived
from the enjoyment, would turn to
some useful work, they would find a
great expansion in the enjoyment Of
the music as we'll as a new pleasure in
their work. If we enjoy good music
and gloat over our personal pleasure in
1t, so to speak, it takes the life out Of
us. If we let the music carry us along
instead of trying, in our excitement, to
carry the music, it brings new life to
us.-Annie Payson Call, in Leslie's
Monthly Magazine.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
By Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched into
life with constitutions weakened by
disease taken in with their mothers
milk. Mothers cannot be too careful
as to the food they use while nursing
their babes. The experience Of a Kan
sas City mother is a case in point:
81 was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought l could not eat a
meal without it. But l found at last
it was doing me harm. For years l
had been troubled with dizziness,
spots before my eyes and pain in my
heart, to which was added, two years
ago. a chronic sour stomach. The
baby was born seven months ago, and
almost from the beginning it, too, suf-
fered from soul stomach. She was
t,king it from me!

Maine. Modest Governor.

The late Hon. Abner Coburn, the mil.
fionaire lumberman of the Kennebec,
was elected Governor of Maine in 1862.
The following spring he visited the
Maine troops in the Army Of the Po-
tomac just prior to the Battle Of Chan
cellorsviile. At the camp Of n Of the
regiments arrangements were made for
the Governor to address the soldiers.
He was a true patriot and a great
lumberman, but he did not excel in ora
tory. After a few commonplace re-
marks he evidently thought his position
as Chief Executive Of the State de-
manded something more elaborate, and
raising his voice to the highest pitch he
shouted:
Boys, you believe in the Republic.
and so do 1. You are a long way from
home, and so am 1. You hail from the
great State Of Maine, and sovdo 1. You
are an honor to your State, and so
am L"
The remainder Of his speech was
drowned by laughter and cheers.-Bos-

II. L. Newcomb, of the District OF

showing that 5,174,7 1 depositors in

directly interested in the joint owner
ship of $442, 354, 0S6 of steam railroad

own enough railroad securities to bring
such holdings up to more than a billion

the entire capital invested in railroad

the savings of the masses, there being
