flower and the bloom of a massive
stock was shown recently at the Royal
Botanic society's first spring show in
its gardens at Regents park in Lon
don
Mr.. Mortimer of Farnham, Surrey,
was the exhibitor, and he showed no
fewer than 800 plants of the flower,
says the London Express. The whole
collection was bought by a gentleman
admirer within a few minutes Of the
shows opening. Mr.. Mortimer said
that he has had an extraordinary de-
mand for seed of the plant, but that he
has none now left. He sold the last
some weeks ago, and no more will be
available until the next harvest, which
will be quite three months hence.
"As 90 per cent of the blooms are Of
the double variety, which does not pro-
duee seed," he added, "the seed will be
both scarce and expensive for some
time to come"

ROOSEVELT AS A READER.

The President Rapidly Reads Many
hooks and Knows Their Contents.
1t is remarkable that. with all his du-
ties, President Roosevelt manages to
do good deal OF reading. A writer In
the April Century says:

cent reading butllt Is not secret that
he is keeping up the pace" Some OF
my friends are still reading at' Nor

and now and then a private letter full
Of appreciation would pass through the
publishers hands on the way TO an au-

1904 I happen TO know that he reread
all Of Macaulay's History OF Eng

United States" and Dickens Martin

The other afternoon he was handed a
new book, not very long dissertation
on a matter OF current interest. That
evening he entertained a number OF
guests at dinner, and later there was a
musical party at the White House. at
which he was present. At luncheon
the next day the glver said TO him,
"Mr President, Of course you have not

done so by his criticism Of the work

was sent to him. Almost by return mail
came a letter thanking the sender and
saying he had already enjoyed the sto-

How does he manage TO do it? All
I know about this Is that. IN the first

faculty Of extremely rapid reading.

able to acquire this art. Others can

A CHAR Story.

A few Of the friends Of Broad

priced smokes for very little money.
The dealer in question carries sew
eral lines of one and two dollar ci-
gars as well as one brand selling for
$3.50. These are naturally made Of
the richest Havana leaf and are es-
pecially attractive to an insect which
burrows into the 'cigqr, making a
hole as large as the head of pin
and perhaps quarter of an inch
deep. The insect does not spoil the
flavor of the tobacco. But IN the
higher priced grades it is impossible
to offer for sale a patched wrapper.
and so these cigars are laid aside to
be sold to the favored ones.

Do Mothers Train Their
Children to Be Savaees 3?

A bachelor Of observation is author
ity for the statement that no more
ahan half the mothers in civilization
bring up their children properly. Does
a mother slap, cuff Or jerk the tender
little beings confided TO her care? Does
she use abusive language to them?
Does she break her promises to them?
Does she scare them into fits by telling
them the policeman or the big. bad
man will come and carry them of If
they do not obey her? Does she ever
tell them a lie? Does she allow their
sweet little bodies to become untidy?
Then that woman is not fit to have
children, no matter who or what she is,
declares the bachelor Boys learn rude
ness and violence from their own moth
ers. How can they be other than III
bred, destructive young savages? Lit
tie girls hear theic mothers tell petty
falsehoods; they hear her scold vio-
lently; they see her rude, impollte and
untidy in her own family circle. How.
then, can these little girls become
sweet tempered, sincere, neat and high
bred women? Are the sons of Quaker
mothers ever found among the gangs
Of young street rufians? l am report
ing still the opinions of the wise bache

truth of all this that he is sure it

How President showed Superiority
of Knife over Ramrod Shape.
President Roosevelt has decided views
on the style of bayonets and swords
that should be furnished to American
soldiers. says a Washington special to
the New York Globe. In letter to the
secretary of war, which was recently
made public, he wrote as follows:
Il must say that think that ramrot
bayonet about as poor an invention as
] ever saw. AS you observed, it broke
on short as soon as bit with even mod
crate violence. 1t would have no moral
effect and mighty little physical effect.
/ think the suggestion of a short, tri-
angular bayonet a great Improvement.
After you have gone over this subject
OF the bayonet and the sword do take
1t upswith me.
Il wish our officers could carry RI
hes. If they carry any sword they
ought TO carry a sword that they can
cut or thrust with. Personally I do
not see any point in having the cav
airy armed with bayonet, even though
the modern cavalryman is nine times
out of ten on foot. He might have a
sword, in his belt, only it ought to be a
sword that can do damage"
The president recommends that the
opinion of military attaches in the far
east on the subject of the bayonet and
sword be submitted to the general
staff. Before any new bayonets are
issued, the president will pass upon
them.
An interesting story is told IN army
circles to Illustrate the presidents OBJ
servation on the ramrod bayonet, says
a Washington special dispatch to the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. While
General Frazier of the British army
was interviewing the president General
Crozier, who stands sponsor for the
ramrod bayomet, called to discuss the
Invention with the chief executive. He
was extolling its virtues, and to prove
his contention brought with him a pine
board an inch,or two thick.
''See how 1 can drive the bayonet
through this board" said General Gro
zier With this observation he made a
half dozen thrusts, each Of which pene-
trated the board.
But do you think it would stand
against the knife bayonet2" asked the
president.
4 most certainly do" answered Gen
ertl Crozier.
The president sent for a Krag rife
equipped with the knife bayonet.
"Stand guard there" said the presi-
