FranEipani Flowers.

Frangipani flowers, from which the
well known perfume takes its name,
COMPRISE some forty species, which grow
wild in tropical America. Botanicaliy
they are known as plumiera, and 7.
rubra of Jamaica is known as the red
Jasmine mango. They are eXquisitely
fragrant flowers, with elegant curled
petals. and have been introduced wide
" into the eastern tropics, finding a
place in many of the native cemeteries.
Three species are occasionally met
with in the gardens OF England, as in
the old Palace gardens at ScOne. where
two very fine specimens may be seen
in full bloom during the summer and
autumn. These flowers were used TO
scent the. bread in certain religious
ceremonies at the Vatican. This bread
being broken up was known as frangi-
pani. which means broken bread, and
so the name passed on to the flowers
used to scent II. 1t Is interesting to
note that the Frangipani were one of
the oldest senatorial families in Rome
and that they bore on their arms a
piece of broken bread. This is what
is known IN heraldry as a "canting"
coat Of arms-that is, one which is
more or less a pun on the name.
Dante's biographers have on some
what slender grounds endeavored to
trace his descent from the great family
of the rangipani.-London Globe.

Famous Blades of Toledo.

The Spanish towns were celebrated
throughout the civilized world for the
excellence of their swords, and among
them all Toledo stood unrivaled for the
temper of her steel. The Toledo blade,
famous in song and story, was no keen.
so flexible and withal so strons that It's
fneness became proverbial. When the
Moors overran Spain in the ninth cen
tury they were already masters Of
many Of the arts, and especially were
they adopts in the working Of metal.
Their swords were highly valued for
their delicate temper, and their special
decoration, which we still call da-
mascening, was also justly priced. 1t
was from these conquerors that the
spanish learned much of their skill in
forging and tempering steel. And that
the completeness Of the noblest weap-
on men ever made should not be
marred by the lack of any element,
natural or artificial, the fairy god
mother, Nature, contributed one more
gift On the banks Of the Tagus there
is an abundance Of fine sand In the
process of forging the metal is taken
white hot from the furnace and is sub
jected to cooling process. IL was to
the peculiar properties Of this white
Tagus sand. In which the cooling blade
was buried, that the Toledo swords
owed their unequaled hardness and
great dexibilir.

since 1860. when John c. Breckinndge
was made the candidate, only 20 be de-
feated by the detection Of the Northern
Democrats and their nomination of
Stephen A. Douglass. Since then an the
Democratic candidates have been taken
from the Northern States John g. Car
isle Of Kentucky was placed in nomina-

any hope that the suggestion would be

There is no valid objection, at this day,

trouble from present prospects, would be
20 get the Southern man who was accept

Bailey OF Texas or Representative John
Sharpe Williams of Mississippi but Il is
not to be urged at this time that either

Whether the next two years will de-

ture Just now the indications are that
Hearst and Bryan will be the chief COM

secure sufficient following to cause a

a deadlock would develop the solving of

Horse Car Lines In New York.

The great city of New York probably
the greatest in the world persists in
maintaining the old time horse cars as
part of its local transportation facilities.
Their retention, however is not accepted
without protest, and an urgent appeal
has been made to the State Railroad Com
mission by the civic workers OF the East
Side. where horse cars mostly prevail.
In the appeal il is set forth that in the
district bounded by the East River and
the Bowery, and lying between the Brook
lyn bridge and Fourteenth street, half a
million people live whose car service is
the worst in the country Every cross
town line in that district except the
Grand street track, remains as it was
built The cars are slow, are run at i'm
frequent intervals, are without warmth
on the coldest days, are lighted only by
kerosene lamps and although used by the
dirtiest and most diseased people in New
York, are seldom cleaned and never dis
infected Thousands of men and girls
employed in the Broadway shopping dis
trct must, after a long days toll, tramp
a mile or more through rain and slush ia
thoirhomes ON the East Side.
This poor service is largely due to the
continuance Of the mode of transit OF
twenty years ago New York is the only
city of Importance in the country that
clings TO the horse car, which, with is
arks and plugs, are ever source OF
amusement and derision to the visitor
within our gates. II has been shown that
electricity Is cheaper than horses, but the
false economy upon the part of the street
railroad company has delayed for yoar
the complete installation of an electrical
service. Il is doubtful That the Stat,
Railroad Commission can force the com
pany % hastn Gle elee riiicatiou of Al,

Side agitatiors are hopeful OF relief iron

DlvIded Over tho Ratee BlIl.

There is ample evidence at Washing
ton that the Democrats OF the United
States Senate are as much divided over
the Railroad Rates bin as are the Repub-
hoan Senators And the confusion that
attends this condition of affairs makes
il a matter OF great difficulty to foresee
what will be the outcome. But certain
Il is that no "one-man power" either that
Of the President or anybody else, will
drive the measure through without full
consideration and discussion, as was done
in the House.
10 seems almost certain, however, that
the bin will be amended by the Senate,
but to what extent is problematical. Even
Senator fillman, to whose hands the
leadership of the campaign for the passage
of the bill in the Senate has been COM
mittcd, is in favor OF amendments. Some
of the Democratic senators are with the
President, and in favor OF putting the bin
through without change, but it does not
seem probable that there are enough Re
publican Senators TO make combination
with this result in view successful
But, no matter what may be the out
come, It is encouraging TO know that the
tanning process which was so success
fully employed in the House, will not
even be attempted in the senate. In The
latter body the measure will bo subjected
20 a full discussion Of It's merits or de-
mollla.
