Many of the choicest water lilies, even the
magnificent Victoria rega. may be grown
from seed. For many years the seed of this

Amazon to the far west. Here the lily IS
usually grown with bottom heat as it Is
very tender. Seeds started in pots in a
temperature of ninety degrees will germ1-

have become warm-usually about the first
of June. and will bloom the same summer,
but cannot be carried through the winter,
but must be started afresh each season
either by the purchase of plants, or the
sowing of seed, the latter being, of course
much more economical, as seeds may be
purchased for few nickeis apiece the

Its list is about GOO, and the special editions have brought up the total. Rev. Mir.

The evidence that Standard Oil. which is a synonym for John D. Rocke- feller, has continuously and persistent ly employed methods that are morally iniquitous and socially destructive, is of a character that cannot be called in question. says one writer. Court rec ords, congressional and legislative in- vestigations, furnish material which establish beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Standard oil millions have been accumulated by the com mission of such crimes as perjury ana robbery. There are still more heinous crimes laid at the door of the man, who it is expected will in few years be the first billionaire that ever trod the earth. His trail since he first started out to build up his colossal for tune is traced by acts that show his utter contempt for Christian teachings. That such a person should pose as de- sirous of helping to bring to the dis tant heather the glad tidings of the Gospel is farcical. That religious body should accept his money, tainted as it is with crime, and thank him fol donating it to Christian missionary work, gives anti-Christian scoffers an opportunity of indulging their gibes about Christian hypocrisy.

THREE STUDENT CLASSES.

Either Puritans, Boheminns or Phi-
 listines, Says Chicago Professor.
 Dean W. D. McClintock, professor of English at the Chicago university, has classified college students for the bene. fit of the seniors at the chapel exer- cises, says a Chicago special dispatch to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The dean told the students they were either Puritans, Bohemians or Philistines or a combination of two.
 Tn my years of experience as a teacher 1 have come to the conclusion that all students can be put into three classes. There are three dominant types of girls and youths from seven teen to twenty years of age. They live either in Puritania, Bohemia or Philis- tinia. The inhabitants of Puritania are fastidious in their dress, they love their work for what they get out of it, with no thought of future reward. They have a high code of morals and live good, honest, conscientious lives.
 "The inhabitants of Bohemia are lov- CTS of music and art They are equally happy with the Puritans. They are pleasure seekers, but more fickle than the other class. They feel little respon- sibility and put all burdens and thought of the morrow off on to the shoulders of an indefinite they
 "The Phillstines are not totally clean. They are built and live on a lower plane of living, morally and mentally. We are all built on this plane, but some of us are able to rise above 1t. They are great book lovers and absorb great amounts of knowledge, but are not cultured. They seek to accumulate wealth, and are looking for popularity or anything else that brings reward of a certain kind.
 "Most students, believe, live in Puri- tania, near the border of Bohemia. A great many students drift along in their work and accomplish mediocrity. A crazy devotion to one thing is bet ter than no devotion at all, and it is generally the people who get started in one direction who make success. The Philistines see little good or little bad in anything. They are in way minor indulgers. It Is better to in. .dulge than to be indifferent"
