The Dangers of Orchid Hunting.

The Dangers of Orchid Hunting.
 The most beautiful region the orchid collector meets in his travels is along the Orinoco, the Rio Negro and the Amazon, in South America. The seen cry at times passes beyond the beauti- full and becomes so grand as to be al- most terrible. Everything is on such a great scale. The rivers are the largest in the world, veritable seas at high water, the vegetation luXuriant beyond comparison and the animal and fish life startlingly strange. There we find the Cattleya schroederoe, magnificent orchid with white flowers, which blooms about Easter time. But the dangers and vexations of a trip on the Orinoco, for instance, would hardly be believed. Miles and miles back from the coast in the district where the orchids are found the Indians are in wild state and are foes to all white men. They turk in the bushes along the banks of the river and shoot poi soned arrows at you if you happen to venture within range of their blow guns. The center of the stream is the only safe place. During the rainy sea- son the mosquitoes swarm on the Ori- noco in clouds and sleep is next to inn possible Even the grass when you venture ashore is your enemy.-Har- per's Weekly. ..

The Gold In the Ocean.

The fact that sea water contained gold was first made patent, we believe. by the observation that the deposit on the copper plating of jetty piles in sea harbors was comparatively rich in the precious metal. On the estimate that a ton of sea water contains approxi- mately one grain, the yield would amount to something like POO tons of gold per cubic mile and, as the volume of the worlds ocean Is estimated at 4OO,OO0,OOO cubic miles, the total pos sible yield of gold would be no less than 1OOOOO,OOO,OoO tons-a truly at tractive propect to the company pro moter-London Lancet.

The Spoiled Children of the World

The Spoiled Children of the World.
 Burmese children are the spoiled chill dren of the world, according to V. 0. Scott O'Connor. In his book, "The Silken East" he says that they are never punished by their parents, who universally adore them. They grow up fin the open air with all the grace of young, unchecked life. "The sheer joy of life abides in them," says he, "and they seem to live perpetually at play in the village street, where they play a game of ninepins with the great seeds of jungle creeper; in the monastery, where they lie upon the floor and scream out their lessons with lusty de light; in the river, in which they splash and plunge before they can walk; at the play, where they crawl about among the feet of the prima donna and the posing kings, and at the pagoda, where they hold flowers before them with faces screwed up to gravity, with laughter pent up behind it. And if there be any dispute about the good looks of their elders there can be none as to the prettiness of Burmese children"

Letter to w F Hanley,
 Stafford Springs. Conn.


 Dear Sir: Would you rather have your customers speak of your shoes as wearing we'll, as not running down at the heel, as turning water, and taking a shine; or wag their heads and say nothing?
 We'd rather have ours, at long in- tervals, say: "We want some more paint, and we want Devoe." We know it isn't in human nature to paint very often; we don't expect them to come very often; don't want 'em to. All we want is to paint what they have to paint, whenever they paint it.; the longer the time, the surer they are to come back. There's business enough in the world :; there are houses enough to paint; let 'em take their time. If we were a shoemaker, we'd make shoes to last half lifetime, and shoe the whole town.
 Yours truly 1n

Timely Organization.

The chief cause of the tremend-
ous defeat the Democratic party
suffered in the last presidential
campaign was due to the %eXtrava-
CANT faith that the self-consti-
tuted leaders of the Democratic
party had acquired in the efficacy
of the machine methods. They
had worked these methods with
so much success in their party Or
ganization that they had come to
consider them as irresistible in
handling the masses. They as
sembled the biggest heads first,
and formulated the plan of cam
paign by which Judge Parker was
to be nominated upon a colorless
platform. The word was then
passed to the machines and Il con-
vention of the initiated gotten to-
gether which carried ont the II
tire programme. But when it was
laid beforeth the people, the product
of the St. Louis convention Jared
even worse thap the Greeley ex-
pertinent, afteT<hich it was
modelled, did in 1892.
1t will be a long time, we imag-
inc, ere the Democratic masses
can be induced to embark in an
other machine-made campaign,
and those democrats who believe
in principal first and Office 1lext,
will, under present indications,
insist that the next campaign
shall be conducted upon that
idea.
Thus if the Democracy is again
to suffer defeat, it will encounter
it with "hying colors and drums
beating.'
Meanwhile, Col. W. j. Bryan,
who is today justly considered as
the ablest and most resolute cham
pion of the Jeffersonian creed, is
urging the Democracy to proceed
to organize for the battle of 1908,
to which alone can the American
masses look forward with any
hope for the triumph of the great
reforms that have been vainly eX-
pected from the professions of
President Roosevelt.-People.
