ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.
The Hardest to Make Are Orchids

The Hardest to Make Are Orchids
and American beauty Roses.
The orchid and American Beauty rose
are the two most difficult flowers to
make. 4 skilled worker can construct
only about six American Beauty roses
in one day, and this number only when
the leaves and petals ere all ready to
put together. The small flowers, like
the jasmine, are also difficult to make,
and only skilled hands can be intrust-
ed with this work. The majority of
the small and dellcately made flowers
imported for millinery uses are made
in the prisons or France. The work
of making fiowels is pleasant and for
skilled hands lucrative, the girls re-
ceiying all the way from 50 a week Tor
beginners to $25 for the best workers.
Much of the finer grades Is given out
for home work. wonRn and girls tax
ing huge boxes of flower petals and
leaves to put together. One market
for artificial flowers is that of the har-
nessmakers, who order lunches of VIC
lets and other small flowers and resell
them to groOms for the decoration Of
their horses on tallyho trips and other
gala occasions. Many of the handsome
cOrsage bouquets Of orchids and yio-
let's so much admired at the theater
and opera are artificial - Leslie's

Quoted in the city hall and at the

OF the public school system has been
most gratifying to Pullman, and our
citizens have always felt the deepest

nearly unanimous is the sentiment :,
favor Of the best equipment for the
education Of our boys and girls, Each
Of the new buildings, which will con-
tain four rooms, will represent an ont
lay Of about SO, 900, and will house
the lower grades. As the main bpild
ing will also provide for the lower
grades as well as housing the high
school, the little tots of the city will
not have so far to trudge in going to
school, this being a ,,o.4,.,
greatest convenience. 1t is expected
that all grades can be taught At tho
main building, unless possibly the
sixth or seventh, which may be moved

THE SENSE OF SMELL.
Gas, According TO "A Scientist, Is Its
Fnndnm n tnl BasIs.

Is the sense OF smell excited by gases
or particles? According to DR.. John
Aiken, an English specialist, gas is the
fundamental basis Of the sense OF
smell. In experiments he first inyesu.
gated musk, of which 1t Is possible to
detect by smell a microscopic quantity
inconceivably minute, u fact well
known to scientists. DR. Aiken car
ricd out his researches upon the cloudy
condensation basis. according to which
If odors are attributable to particles,
the latter form nuclei Of cloudy con.
densation In supersaturated air and
thus make their presence visible.
In the case of musk no such nuclei
were detected, proving that musk does
not give of solid particles, but eyapo.
rates as gas or yapor, and that it Is
gaseous particles from the musk that
act on the sense Of smell. OF twenty.
three other odOrous substances not one
gave its perfume IN solid particles,
nothing but gases or vapors escaping
from them
Dr. Aitken points out that the nos
trlls appear to substantiate this theory.
The perfume Of snuff, for Instance, is o
soft, velvety sensation, while the effect
Of the solid is sharp and biting, more
allied to pain than pleasure,

One OF the most famous entrances In
the world IS doubtless the ancient
Traitors gate, in the Tower Of London.
1t was through this portal for several
centuries that traitors were conducted
from the shores OF the river Thames
into the tower. To Americans probably
the most familiar of these unfortunates
was Sir Walter Raleigh. Today path
way passes directly in front of the
gate, completely cutting it off, and from
this pathway the famous wicket gate
Is gazed upon by many thousands, OF

FEMININE HEROISM.

Women Have often Fought In De-
Tense of Their Native Towns.
During the oppression of the Neither.
lands by the Spaniards IN the sixteenth
century ii was no uncommon event for
women to fight in defense of their ma,
tive town. When In 1872 Don Frederic
at the head Of large army besieged
HARLEM. among the garrison that de
Tended the town were 800 women.
Their chief was a widow of distin.
guished family, about forty seven years
of age, who, at the head Of her anna.
cons, participated In many Of the most
hercely contested actions OF the siege
Seven years later at the siege Of
Maestrlcht. the women were of great
assistance In making mines, enrolling
themselves into companies under the
direction OF officers, or mine mis-.
tresses," az they were called. The serv.
ice they rendered was inestimable
At the repulse of the Spaniards from
the walls Of Alkmaar women and even
children showed a like courage assist.
ing their husbands and fathers In the
desperate defense. History, indeed
gives many examples of such heroism,
among which may be mentioned the
brave conduct Of the women at the de
Tense Of Sarragossa In 1903, when they
took the place Of their slain husbands
or brothers at the cannon side.-Black.
