The Hardest to Make Are Orchids
and American Beauty Roses. q,
The orchid and American Beauty rose
are the two most difficult flowers, to
make. A skilled worker can construct
only about six American Beauty roses
in one day, and this number only when
the leaves and petals are 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 delicately made flowers
imported for millinery uses are made
in the prisons of France. The work
Of making flowers is pleasant and for
skilled hands lucrative, the girls re-
ceiving all the way from So a week for
beginners to $50 for the best workers.

AMERICAN MAN DISCOVERS

s I ~
Monterey, Mex, Feb. 27.-An
American business man of this city,
who was on a visit few days ago to
a mining camp situated near here,
was surprised and mystifed to- hear
one Mexican miner say to his COM
panion as they emerged from the
depths Of a mihe:- s
"Come over to the cantina tonight
and take some dynamite with me-
The American superintendent ex-,
planned the invitation. .ss1''
aftThat was not an: invitation to
take 1 drink Of some new brand of
liquor as might be supposed" he
said 4" G""Those two Mexicans are fdy-
Mantle fends. They actually eat
dynamite and get drunk on the dan
gerous substance. ...r.is
It is fact that many Of the Mex
lean miners Of the peon class are dy-
Mantle eaters. 1t is vice that is
rapidly spreading to all Of the mining
camps in Mexico. J. C.. Ford,
prominent American mining man of
the Guadalupe y Calvo district, said
concerning this new habit:
"Users of dynamite soon learn
that it is a powerful stimuIant, and
that the effects of intoxication are
pleasing while they last beyond the
most excruciating phantasiess of an
opium dream. Dynamite is manu-
factured for the purpose of smashing
things, and tiny bit of it coursing
through the veins smashes the whole
end out of care and blows dullness in
to atoms.
"The 'dynamiter' usually is very
dainty and exact in his methods of
going about the introduction of the
high explosive into his system. The
preferred way to do this is to cut off
a small piece of fifty-five per cent
edya,' about the size Of pea. This
is dissolved in small glass of mes
cal or teqnilla, and the draught is

from pleasant anticipations. The
performer of this trick then rolls in
his blanket and stretches himself ut
length in the cool shade. It is said
that very soon his nerves begin to
tingie and Stranger dreams come to

ed at an ordinary camp by those ad-
dlcted to taking it into their systems
In the above way described is so large
that it appreciably affects the quanti-
ty OF the explosive required to carry
on the regular work.

ROOSEVELT, A PEACEMAKER.

President Roosevelt has again
proved himself to be the chief magis-
trate of all the people, and not of his
party alone, by intervening between
the coal operators and the miners in
an effort to avert the impending coal
strike. As peacemaker several years
ago, the president succeeded in ter
minating coal strike which had
caused untold misery to countless
thousands of this country's citizens,
and it is hopeful sign to see him
again using his influence to prolong
the peace now existing between op-
orators and miners. AS a result of
the letter President Roosevelt wrote
to Mr.. Mitchell on February "a,
which was made public yesterday,
announcement has been made that
another national convention of the
miners will open in Indianapolis
Mch. Is, and an attempt will be made
to reach an agreement with the soft
coal operators. As the hard coal
operators SHOW SoHlt luClludtlOu dt
present to make concessions, it is to
be hoped that this will have some in
fluence on the soft coal operators,
and that. the miners will also be fair
minded enough to realize that some
concessions on their part will only be
just. The question Of coal strike
involving as it does the situations OF
some four hundred thousand men
and untold deprivations to millions
of other citizens, is very serious
matter, and both sides to the dispute
should do all in their power to avert
it. IF the strike comes the parties
responsible for it will find themselves
in an unenviable position when tht
full weight Of public opinion strike.
home. President Roosevelt deserve.
great praise for intervening again t.
bring about peaceful settlement oi
the difficulty, and it is to be hoped
that q successful and lasting peac,
win result from the coming nationa
convention of the miners ..s..ss

Emperor Williams IS policy. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has acted as mediator
both in foreign and internal disputes,

On the other hand, William, "War
Lord' of the Germans, driven on
ward by his Unsuitable ambition, is
seeking to embroil his empire, in a
war with, France over the Moroccan
dispute. 1t is well known that the
emperor's ambition is Napoleonic in
its scope, and it is felt that he would.
like to equal if not surpass the VIC
torious record of the great conqueror.
Doubtless he has visions Of German
