TOba<,oo the "Nati0nal Flower
II the great republic must have .
flower, why not adopt the tobacco
plant (Nicotiana tabacum)7 1t Is a na.
tive of this country and was first
found in Virginia. There Is nothing
sectional or local about the plant, be-
cause today it is grown in most Of the
states from Florida and Louisiana to
Connecticut and is now used in every
nation on the globe, civilized and bar
barian, If it is possible to obtain 1t. 1t
is not commonly known that the to-
bacco plant bears u very pretty pink
blossom, which might come into the
flower gardens but for its rank and
disagreeable odor The Indian corn, or
maize, is another plant indigenous to
the United States and was found In
use as food by the Indians from Viz
ginia to Massachusetts. But IL we
must have flower that Is esteemed as
such without regard to any economic
considerations or utilitarian qualities.
why not adopt the laurel O.aurus lati-
foliO, mountain laurel or broad leaf
laurel?-New Orleans Picayune.

The term vegetable has reference to
the whole or any part Of plant cult
waited especially with reference to use
at the table. But the use Of the word
vegetable doesn't always depend upon
cooking, for celery Is a vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or
cooked. One would suppose the toma-
to to be entitled to the term fruit, for
the method Of its raising resembles
that Of fruit. But it Is usually called
vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook
ed. in spite Of its appearance. The
ounce is so fruitlike in appearance,
30 resembling apples, pears, ETC., that
It persists in being called fruit though
eaten only when cooked. Sometimes
the vegetable is bud. as with cab
bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as
spinach stems above ground. as as
paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) I'M
derground. as common potatoes, or
roots, as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets
and carrots.-St. Nicholas.

Hebrews and the Sabbath.

There Is not, and there never was in
tended to be, any such feeling Of Puri-
kanism or of Calvinism with regard to
our day OF rest as there Is connected
with the Lords day Of our nelghbors.
The Jewish Sabbath was to be q de-
light, and we read that in the medieval
ghetto dancing, among other recrea-
Nons, was common on that day. There
- nothing contrary to the spirit Of

The climate Of the Tehuantepec 18TH
mus compares most favorably with
that Of Panama, being mild and health
full, writes Rene Bache in Technical
World Magazine. Coffee, cacao, to-
bacco, vanilla and sugar cane are
grown in the region. which has a pop
ulation Of about $4,000. The inhabit-
ants are hardy and Industrious, those
Of the plains on the Pacific side being
descended from the ancient race Of the
Zapatecos and boasting that they were
never conquered by the Spaniards. 1t
Is said that the women Of this race
have from time immemorial been able
to maintain supremacy over the weak
er male sex, leaving the men at home
to take care of the house and children
while they carry heavy burdens to
market on their heads. They are very
handsome, these women, and their ma
tive costume Is most artistic, including
q picturesque headdress.

Why Cut Glass Breaks.

Cut glass makers explain why it Is
that there are frequent reports Of cut
glass suddenly breaking or crumbling
on a table, shelf or sideboard in homes
and elsewhere. although the glass was
not in use. They assert that whenever
the tone of any cut glass article comes
into contact with its responsive chord
the life Of the glass will go with the
tone, by which it Is affected, and the
glass collapses or crumbles. 1t Is on
record a famous opera singer could
break cut glassware by reaching high
G In her singing. Several tests were
made in New York and Paris, and by
her singing she broke several pieces Of
eut glassware. The tone of u violin If
ottuned so as to be in true accord with
cut glass will destroy 1t.

The White Headed Boy.

The phrase his mothers white head
I'd boy" is as old Ms the hills in Ire
land. 1t appears in many Of the Irish
fairy stories Of the last century. Irish
mothers who knew good fairies always
kept the secret for the white headed
boy" Of the family. Gerald Griffin in
one Of his best short stories years ago
used the phrase as one he had Dor
rowed from an old Celtic book.

TELLS OF NOVEL OPERATIONS
Surgeons in Germany Learn of Trans
fer of Parts between Living
Animals.

STUTTGART Sept. H.-Prof. Garre Of
Breslau gave yesterday to the Congress Of
Natural Investigation. and Medicine, now
in session here the result of his expert
ments in transplanting blood vessels and
organs from one body to another. This is
the subject which attracted SO much at
tention at the meeting of the British Med
ical association held in Toronto last Au-
gust, when DR.. Agarrell of the University
of Chicago read paper giving his expert
ments in the same field.
Prof. Garre described the case OF a A.
year-old boy suffering from cretinism who
had portions of his mothers thyroid gland
transplanted to his spleen. The child,
after nine months, is developing normally
and can walk and talk.
Prof Garre narrated successful expert
ments in the transplanting of blood ves-
sells firm one living animal to another. He
also transplanted blood vessels from ami
Gnals that had been dead for an hour and
half to live animals
The professor declared that while Il was
impossible to transplant large blood ves-
sells from living human being that blood
vessels could be taken from, freshly am
putated ifrnbs and transplanted to cases
where large tumors had been removed or
where otherwise the tieing up of large
blood vessels resulted fatally for the parts
of the body fed by them. Prof. Garre de-
scribed also the transplanting of kidneys
from one animal to another, the replanted
organ performing its function perfectly.

Judge Frater today ordered Esther Nit

with murder in the first degree for the
killing of George Mitchell. deported to
Oregon by the sheriff. The order of the
court was made upon the report of the
insanity commission that both women were
insane. The sheriff is directed to turn
the women over to the superintendent
of the Oregon insane asylum. Prosecuting
Attorney Macintosh. through his chief
deputy, denounced the insanity commits
sion and demanded that the women be
tried. Judge yrater however. struck their
cases from the trial calendar
Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh will ap-
ply to the supreme court for. a writ Of
prohibition preventing the deportation of
the women. He will wage fight in the
supreme court to compel Judge Frater to

under a statute presented by the last legis-
lsture providing that insane persons who
are not legal residents of the state may
be taken by the sheriff to the place
whence they came.
The. superintendent of the Oregon insane
asylum cannot confine the women without

WASHINGTON. Sept. a.-Regulat
tending to secure uniformity in the conduct
of the various transportation companies
engaged in Interstate and foreign COM
merce, in the opinion of Commissioner
Cockrell, of the Interstate Commerce COM
mission, win prove the most effective
method of executing the railway rate law.
Commissioner Cockrell said today that for
some time he has had in mind four PROPOSE
tions which would accomplish the desired
results These are:
First A uniform system OF reporting. ac-
counting, bookkeeping, etc.
Second; Uniform classification through
out the United States and territories
Third: Uniform forms of the schedules,
ra ties, tariffs, charges and rules.
Fourth: The requirement that the rail-
road shall perform the entire work of trans
to place of destination.
In explaining his position Commissioner
Cockrell said that only today, he had an
instance Of where there are four separate
rates between two given points. Some
doubt has been expressed, he safd, with
regard to the requirements of the law with
respect to uniform classiications. but no
said that the commission had information
that every railroad in the United States,
except one, has sIgnihed willingness TO
comply with regulation of that kind.

Proceedings.

PARIS. Sept. A.--while no move has yet
been made by the counts lawyers, the at
torneys for. the Countess de Castellane evi
IDENTIFY anticipate an attempt on his part
force a delay in the trial of the di' c
case, which has been fixed for Octo
unless the creditors attachment SIS
previously settled. The count ~
willing to take every advantage
desire OF the countess and the Gould L 2
to make sacrifices to avoid further Mo-
toriety and scandal but II is still doubt
full whether the price is not too high. IL
turns out that the bills piled up by the
counts creditors are very numerous. While
the exact total is not known. the amount
is authoritatively descrined as fabulous
In spite Of the pre-nuptial settlement, the
French law regards the marriage partner
ship as making husband and wife equally
responsible for the household expenses ana
debts. The attachment proceedings, how
ever, do not belong to this class. They are
almost entirely for money borrowed from
insurers at rulnous rates, and consequently
they could be legally resisted.
! The count has another lever. in the dis
position OF the children. who, under the
law. are French citizens and subject to
military service. He could enter plea
before the French court that N the chill
dren were given into the custody OF the
mother they might be taken beyond the
Jurisdiction Of France. Such action would
doubtless result in the imposition by the
court Of restrictions embarrassing to the
countess in the future. II the creditors at
tachment is settled out Of court the count
! is not expected to make defense. and II
is believed that the divorce will be granted
October II. Otherwise IL is anticipated

jury in the Smith case today returned a
verdict of guilty against Charles NJ Smith
and Charles NJ. Smith, jr., and the fve
tenants of their farms on the eleventh
court on the peonage case
Tile eleventh count of the forty-four in
dictments refers to John Reed, the negro
who was with Roosevelt In Cuba and
escaped from the shack on the Smith farm
bys saving his way through the floor at
night. He was the strongest negro witness
for the government.
When court opened this morning Judge
Pollock called in the jury. which had taken
up its deliberations where It left of last
night. He told the jurors that they must
get verdict in case which had cost the
government so much. He pointed out the
apparent stumbling blocks in the evidence
and in. connection with the testimony given
by negro, who testified to everything for
the defense especially that he had placed
the locks and chains on the shacks the
morning that tho United States marshal,
MorseS made the raid. He said the Jury
knew what it believed and he knew what
the jury would do with that particular evil
dence
Judge Krum objected to his remarks on
the points, stating that he should let the
fury do Its own celebrating. Judge Pollock
surprised him by plainly stating that he
did not believe the negro's testimony and
did not believe the jury would, since II had
been disproved by a reputable white ply
sicisn.
Judge Pollock overruled the motions for
a new trial and in arrest of Judgment, and
then pronounced sentences as follows:
Charles NJ. Smith three years and six
moffths in the penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Kan. and fine of 5000 and costs.

OF the state district court before Judge
Armstrong and show why he should not
direct the issuance of warrant for the
arrest of Joseph F. Smith. president Ut
the Mormon church, on a charge of sus-
tanning unlawful relations with one of
his FIVE wives
The citation was issued on the petition
of Charles Mostyn owen, who has been
active in gathering testimony against
Senator Smoot in the proceedings before
the United States senate committee on
privileges and elections. on September II
Owen appeared before a Justice of the
peace and swore TO a complaint. making a
statutory charge against President Smith.
The complaint was based upon the fact
that May 81 last. President smkh $
forty-third child was porn TO Mary T.
Schwartz Smith, the Mormons NTH wife,
at her home In this city.
AS witnesses to the fact the complaint
cited the four other wives of President

Smoot and Governor Cutler. Under the
, law the warrant could not be issued eX-
cept on the approval OF the county attor-
ney. The complaint was permitted 10
rest In the county attorneys of1ce without
action. but it was commonly understood
that there would be no prosecution of the
Mormon president by direction of the
