Special Pins Fee Insect Collectors.
"Auch care" said. a taddermist,
has to be taken in selecting the long.
fine pins used in fastening the, speci.
mems in insect collections. For cheap
collections of butterflies and bugs we
use the ordinary brass pins mostly, but
every one of these must be carefully
examined before impaling the insect
to see that it is we'll timed, for were
the tin coating imperfect or the slight
est flaw evident it would be in nine
cases out of ten liable to oxidize in
the body of the insect and thus destroy
it. We also use black vanished pins,
but they are almost as bad, for the
glazed coating soon cracks, leaving
the metal exposed, and consequently
it is not very long before oxidation
sets in. Even the more expensive kind,
the nickel plated pins, are not much
better. The latest things we have
now are solid silver pins and bronze
pins, and there Is being used as an
experiment a nickel and aluminium
alloy, which possesses decided advan-
tages over all the other kinds used.'

Nose Lore.

The classic Greek nose has been re-
garled as the ideal shape, though there
are Roman, Caucasian, Monaghan and
Ethiopian noses, each indicating Pc
culiar type of mental trait. Generally
speaking, thick and fat noses denote
material instincts, and turned up noses
vanity. Wide nostils are a sign Of
strength. while small nostrils indicate
weakness. Napoleon's knowledge Of
human nature made him select gener-
ais with large noses, for this betokens
intelligence, just as the eagle nose
shows firm, strong will. Possibly no
nose speaks louder for itself than the
alcoholic nose, and it is as much to be
feared as the pointed nose and chin,
which in conjunction proclaims general
wickedness. Certainly the most inter-
esting nose is the cogitative, for 1t ex-
panls with thought, which comes, &C.
cording to rhinology, or the science Of
nose reading, from reflection. In
stances of these noses from Homer to
Wesley and Shakespeare can be quoted.

THE BIG GLADlOLUS.

Said to Be Largest, Best Shaped,
Most Graceful and Brilliant.
1t is claimed for Gladiolus princeps
that 1t is the largest, best shaped, most
brilliant and most graceful gladiolus in
existence. De Vilmorin, the French
authority, says:
Gladiolus princeps is the latest &C.
QUESTION among garden hybrids Of this
genus. -Four species have helped in its
production.
The honor Of producing this hybrid
belongs to an American, DR.. Van Fleet
Of Little Silver. It Is now more than
twenty-five years ago since Glad1olus
cruentus, originally from South Africa,
was sent to William Bull by Swiss

GLADIOLUS PRINCESS.

living in the Drakensberg, in Natal
But the specimens sent did badly, and
n. Max Leichtlin (from whom I OBJ
tained these details), who was the only
one to have the plant in its full beauty,
gave it to DR.. Van Fleet. The latter,
under the propidous climate Of North
America, obtained excellent results
with it and crossed it with g. chndsii.
I am sure he himself must have been
astonished at the result. The hybrid
Gladiolus, to which he has given the
very appropriate name Of princeps, is
remarkable for the rich scarlet red of
its flowers, by their size and by their
beautiful form, surprising any with
which we are at present acquainted
The petals are very large, and their
bright coloring is intensified by slight
white spots, often accompanied by a
med1an line Of the same color on the
inferior and lateral divisions. These
latter are larger and not SO spreading
q in G. nanceianus.
Gladiolus princeps does not bloom un-
til August and September, in this re-
spect resembling G. cruentus- that Is to
say, 1t Is at its best when other gladi-
oil are almost or entirely passed. This
u another point In its favor. On the
ether hand, its Towering is continuous,
and It never has more than three or
four blossoms open at the same time.
But what does it matter II quality CON-
pensates for quantity

too much Of that staple arftbc1e Of diet

in its place a good menu which will

Years ago the Reading Railroad COM
pany issued an order requiring its
brakemen, as soon as a train started
from any station, to call out the name
Of the next stopping place.
For awhile the trainmen, instructed
doubtless by some grammarian of the
road, would do this by saying, Next
station will be" Allentown, Reading.
etc. An editor took them to task for it,
pointing out the absurdity Of using the
future tense in speaking Of that which
always is in the same place. After that
the brakemen~ dropped twill be- and
cried, "Next station" Allentown, Read

Clipping and Watering the Lawn.
Newly established lawns should nev-
q be allowed to mature seed. FIRE.
Quent clipping with the lawn mower, If
not made too close; tends to stimulate
the stooling Of the plants rather than
to interfere with their growth. If the
lawn is located in dry section or one
subject to long periods Of drought it
will be necessary to irrigate or sprin-
kle. A little water is an injury rather
than benefit. If watering. is begun
1t should be done at night rather than
during the day and sufficient water
given to thoroughly wet the soil.

Venezuela. The secretary informed
the ambassador that he had not yet
received any message from Mr.. Rus

Castro, but that he was expecting
news at any time. Russel's instruc-
lions were to lay the entire matter be-
fore Castro in an effort to make him
see the futility from the Venezuela
standpoint of continuing the situation
which even the Washington govern
ment considered most unfortunate and
unnecessary. The Washington gov
eminent finds no fault with the con-
duct of M Taigny, French minister at
Caracas, and does not approve Cas-

New Orleans, Oct. Plat the END
of nine strenuous hours of varied en-
tertainment in New Orleans, which
brought his exceptional pleasant trip
through the south to a close, President
Roosevelt at $50 last night, boarded
the lighthouse tender, Magnolia, and
began the first stage Of his return
Journey to Washington. He was out or

night, but daylight was expected to

or four days he will be absent from
American soil, which has never here
ofore happened to president during
lis ipcumbency, but through means OF
wireless biography it is promised
hat he will not be out of communica-
ion with the shore.
The presidents reception was a sig
lal testimonial of popular esteem and
# grateful recognition of the service
which he has rendered the city in her
period of stress. The densely crowded
streets, elaborate decorations, all wild
with applause that greeted him along
he whole route of the parade, the en-
h lsiasm with which his address to
he multitude in La Fayette square
vas received and the remarkable
demonstration in his honor at the
luncheon were outward manifestations
of the spirit in which the people well
coined him.
Probably for the first time in his
public career the president was com
)elled to abandon a public address be-
ore he had got well started on it. 1t
was contemplated that a military and
civic parade should pass in review be,
fore the president at the city hall,
but the crowd gathered at this point
was SO tremendous that neither police
nor troops were able to move it and
the president, foresee1ng a possible
catastrophe in the event of a panic,
finally gave UP the attempt to speak
and left the platform. Probably
$4,000 people were gathered in and
around the stand, from which the pres
ident was to deliver the address. The
demonstration at luncheon was
scarcely less eXuberant. When the
president entered the dining hall, the
banqueters rose as one man and gave
way to frantic cheers Every refer
euce by the speakers to the guest
