Wife Of the New Pennsylvania Senator
Has a Prominent Part in the Wash
ington World-Her Interest in Her
Husbands Fads Has Resulted In an
Incident that Is Amusing Her
Friends.

MRS. PHILANDER 9. KNOX. the
M wife of the new senator from
Pennsylvania, is proving one of
the leading hostesses in Washington and
the prophecy that she would take a
greater interest in society as the wife
Of a senator than she did as one of the
cabinet ladies. when Mr.. Knox was at
torney general, has been fulfilled.
Mr.. Knox, as every one knows, is an
ardent collector Of rare books and en-
cravings and Mrs. Knox is as much
interested in his hobby as he is. There
are few sales held in New York or
Washington at which Senator Knox or
his representatives are not present to
purchase some treasure. Last winter
Senator and Mrs. Knox went to New
York for hurried trip and on the last
day of their stay Mr.. Knox casually
remarked that he would not come home
to luncheon as he had some business on
hand which would occupy him until time
to meet her at the railroad station.
Not q word was said about an auction
sale Of books in which she know he
would be interested and in great giee
Mrs. Knox prepared to attend the sale
and arrange q surprise for her husband.
The bidding was brisk, but Mrs. Knox
was not discouraged, for she was dc:
books which Mr.. Knox needed to round
out q set. The price rose higher and
higher and at last Mrs. Knox realized
| that it would reach three times its mar
ket value, and she reluctantly ceased to
bid. She was sadly disappointed, and
after the sale she approached the pro-
prietor and asked if he would tell her
who had bought the books. He blandly
Uniformed her that they bad hssH s0ld

sChange is but manifestation of =
natural force which is seeking an ex-
preston. In course of time the change
will become fixed and the new type
has been created
In Adjudication proper. the methods
are simple; tiny. camel's hair brush
or the finger tip is used for pollina-
ton. The pollen touched to the pistil
of the prepared flower does the. work:
The result is flower with fringed
edge where previously there had been
but flowers with lacinated and plain
edges. Stems are heightened and short
ened, color is taken away and added,
flowers that stand upright are made to
droop. In, fact, almost anything that
fancy may dictate is brought about bv
the artificial union Of different types.
Among the members of the same family
no limit can be placed upon the extent
of these changes. But outside of this,
even the skill of the expert hybridist
fails, for it is only among. the MEM
bers of the same plant family that ny.
bridiZation can take place.

r up to. her s0th year the knitting Of
lace was her favorite pastime, yards
upon yards Of fine, intrinsic patterns
being fashioned by her hands
At rs she knit and sold lace, pur-
chasing with the proceeds the large
Bible which rests on the altar in tho
Methodist church at Argyle, MINI.
At 80 failing sight forced her to give
up the work she so enjoyed, but as her
ambitious energy must be turned into
some channel, her attention was then
given to the pieceing of quilts. In the
last ten years she has pleced 100 quilts,
thirty of these being pieced in the
years of total blindness and three in
great amount of plain sewing, hemmed
twenty pairs Of pillow-cases,. and made
apron after apron for admiring friends
who beg a little of her handiwork for
a keepsake. Mrs. Searles cuts and pins
the work in shape, then by means of
the rows of pins Aunt Ellen is able to
guide her needle.
Mrs. Crosby is q devout Christian
and member of the Methodist church,
and says only the grace of God, which
is sufficient unto each day, has sus-
| when husband, only child, faculties and
| senses, one by one, have been taken
| from her.
Pathetic indeed seems the verse she
| has marked in the old family Bible
which she desires to be the text of her
funeral sermon, when one considers the
unending night she has endured. The
marked verse is Rev. 1876 and reads,
"And there shall be no night there;
and they need no candle, neither light
of the sun; for the Lord God giveth
them light and they snail reign forever
and eyer.'' Eda NJ. Sateren.
