Plea for Wild Flowers.
IOWA

This is the season of the year whs1
jewellers in cities and towns may b
seen returning after holiday excur
sions, loaded down with flowers
leaves and branches of trees, torn on
from their stems by people who wish
10 carry away with them the beauti-
ful things that nature so laylshly
spreads abroad in the spring. To adj
mire and to desire to possess these.
beautiful things is natural, yet to tear
them down and carry them away
shows a deplOrable lack of thought.
The least informed person, if willing
TO pause and think for a moment, says
Forest and Stream, knows very well
that a few hours after the twig has
been parted from its branch or the
flower from its stem, twig and flower
alike must lose all resemblance to the
beautiful growing thing that inspired
the wish for possession, and is no
longer worth having. Thus, for the
qualification of a passing impulse, one
has destroyed a beautiful object that
but for this hasty act might have
given pleasure to other people for
days or weeks. 1t is not uncommon
to see people coming from the coun'
try laden with branches of dOgwood
for example, four feet long; lilacs are
torn down and defaced, and punches
of more ephemeral flowers like VIC
let's, buttercups and others are wilt
ing in every hand. If people would
recognize how fleeing is the gratitl'
cation derived from this destruction
of the flowers, and how selfish 1t Is,
they probably would not be guilty OK
it. A well-regulated person does not
even if the opportunity cccurs-de-
stroy shrubbery in the public parks
for the purpose of carrying away with
him the flowers or branches. In
towns and cities such an act is COM
monty regarded as an offense, and
anyone found guilty of it is likely TO
he punished. by a fine or otherwise.
Yet. the principle is the same, wheth-
er the destruction is wrought in town
or in country; but in the country the
owner does not attempt to protect his
shrubbery or his wild flowers, unless
they are close to his house.

TELLS ABOUT APPROPRIATIONS
Chairman Tawney of House Comm /
tee Issues Statement.

tee Issues Statement.
Washington, d. c., July CHAIR
man Tawney of the house appropria-
tons committee made the following
statement as to the appropriations for
the fiscal year 1907: The total APP
parent appropriations made at this
session, $3.50, 1873 ,301. do not constitute
in their entirety a charge against the
revenues of the government for the
next fiscal year for the reason that
there must be deducted from this
sum deficiencies that are chargeable
to the service of the current year and
to meet expenditures already incurred
on account thereof, approximating at
least 35,000.000. This sum includes
$16.000,000 for the isthmian canal.
There should also be deducted $751;
100000 for the sinking fund.- which
may or may not be met in whole or
in part as it is purely a matter of
discretion with the secretary of the
treasury to utilize the surplus in the
treasury for that purpose. Their should
also be deducted the sum of $22,000,-
900 which is estimated and included
in the whole sum of appropriations to
be used out of deposits of national
banks in redemption of circulating
notes of banks. The amount OF $25,-
456,415 appropriated for work on the
isthmian canal during the next fiscal
year is payable from reimbursals to
the treasury out of proceeds of bonds
that are authorized to be sold for that
purpose, and should also be deducted
from the sum of appropriations for
1907. The sums mentioned amounted
to more than $139.000000, and when
deducted leave apparent appropria-
tions of only S741 100000 to be met
out of the revenues of the next fiscal
year.
In my judgment the ordinary rev.
enues of the government the next fs-
cal year will amount TO at least $500
100000. The postal revenues are esti-
mated at 1881, 573, 900 for 1907. making
total apparent resources of the gov
eminent next year of not less than
1881 $4,000, or at least $40000.000
in excess Of appropriations that may
be charged against them.

Any American who owns a honk
wagon and wants to honk around a bit
I'm Canada is free TO do so on certain
conditions. He must duly report his
