ROMANCE OF A sWEET-PEA
The Way in Which the Beautiful
Blanche Ferry Variety Originated
and Was introduced.

1t will o be time to plant sweet
peas, the pretty flowers which have
been brought to great perfection in
America, and which often thrive in
poor soil.
The parent of nearly all the most
beautiful varieties Of the American
sweet pea is the Blanch Ferry, which
has a pretty romance connected with
its discovery. Some so years ago, the
comely daughter of a well-to-do farm
er a away from home to marry a
young quarry-man, and her home
thereafter was always in a cottage,
often but a mere hut, on the very thin
soil everything the lime stone lodges
where her husband worked. When
her baby died she went back to her
fathers farm to bury it, and took with
her on returning to her cottage, some
seed of a white sweet pea, and seed
of the old Painted Lady pink.
Thereafter, however great her pow.
erty, she never failed to grow near
her cottage home some of these sweet
peas, as a reminder of her happy girl.
hood and dead baby. They were al.
ways grown on thin, poor soil, often
so thin that they could only be kept
alive by constant attention and water.
ing. AS a result of such environment
for many plant generations, they &C.
quired a dwarf growth and a great
abundance of bright colored flowers.
Some 20 years after the baby died, a
scotsman, passing the little home OF
the mother, noliced the beauty of the
sweet peas and obtained a teaspoon.
full of the seed. This he multiplied into
thousands of pounds, and sold as seed
of the Blanch Ferry variety, which is
now famous throughout the world for
its beauty, and the many varieties ii
has produced.

THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES.
And a Mere Representative Was No
Great Shakes Among Them,
Anyhow.

Senator Hemenway tells of an incident
that occurred during a political campaign
in Iowa.
In one of the towns it had been ar
ranged that, when the big orators of the
day had had their say with reference to
politics, there were to be a number of
entertainments of the side-show variety to
be held on the common.
A pompous politician, who had served a
term in the state legislature, and was by
reason of that fact on extremely good
terms with himself, while endeavoring
with a number of ladies to make his way
through a dense crowd that surrounded
one of the shows, founu himself unable to
proceed further because of a burly indi-
dividual whom he could not thrust aside.
Drawing himself up to his full height the
politician tapped the offending one on the
shoulder, saying as he did SO: Here!
Make way there!"
"Who are you, that you should push me
round that way?" demanded the native.
"A representative of the people, sir!"
exclaimed the politician, Indignantly.
The man grinned. ooh, that amt
nothin'," said he. I'VE folks here air the
peepul theirselves!"

ISSUES IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The Tariff and the Railway Rate
Questions Will Be Foremost
with Democrats.

Should the rate question by any pos
sibility fail of a satisfactory settlement
at the present session, the issue will
figure largely in the Democratic fight
for control of the Sixtieth congress.
Otherwise the tariff will be the main
issue, followed by attacks on the
Roosevelt Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine. Charges of corrupt con-
tributions TO Republican campaign
committees will be freely made, as will
accusations of failure on the admins
trations part to punish influential Of
fice-holders who. the Democrats say,
have been guilty OF violations of the
law. The Philippines, too, will figure
extensively in Democratic campaign
speeches.
THE issues" said John Sharp Will
liams, minority leader in the house, in
outlining the plans for his party's
campaign, will be corruption in the
land and post office departments and
the consular service, and the corrupt
connection between the Republican ma
tional executive committee and insur-
ance and other corporate interests.
Amy Democrat will appreciate that
the average Democrat is no more hon
est than the average Republican but UNI
doubtedly a Democratic administration
could better be trusted to turn the ras-
calls out Of service than the very adj
mi%nistration which allowed them to
get in.
Another issue will be the enforce
ment of the laws against those who
have been convicted of their violation,
but have never been prosecuted. There
seems to be an idea that an injunction
against continued violation of the law
is enough.
"If the senate fails to pass the house
rate regulation bill without weakening
and destroying amendments, the DEM
oerats will push that sort of legislation
as their own. Should the bill pass in
satisfactory form they will refer with
pride to their initiative in the matter
and to their assistance in framing the
law.
Proper railroad rate regulation will
end all monopolies except those which
rest on patent rights or Overwhelming
intellectual and administrative seperl-

Back of all, and overlooking all,

Queens Negligee.

A negligee made recently for Queen
Alexandra, in Paris, is not of silk, or
of organdie, or of India lawn, or OF any
other sheer stuffs, but of cashmere. Its
color is a turquoise blue and its trim
ming is a set of oriental bands. These
bands go around the wide sailor col
lar; they extend down the front; and
they are seer around the foot of the
gown, and the tones are repeated in
the buttons. The negligee is buttoned
down the front and the buttons are a
very handsome oriental variety, made
up of many colors, with each button
showing a separate design.

Beauty of Complexion

Beauty of complexion depends upon
four things-perfect digestion, good
blood, an active liver and good cir
cualtion. To improve all Of these
functions the same prescription will
answer, and 1t is: Deep breathing.
Plenty of pure water-eight glasses a
day. Fresh vegetables and salads, suf-
ficient sleep to keep the nerves quiet.
Outdoor exercise every day. Little or
no alcohol, tea, coffee, or drugs OF any
kind, and particularly the powders and
potions taken for nerves and insomnia.

Dazzling Complexion.

A little girl, tied to her bed for six
months by a serious hip trouble, was
fed largely upon milk during the
period of inactivity, says a writer.
She took cod liver oil. too, three
times a day, and left her bed with a
complexion that was dazzling in its
tints. The attending physician asked
me If I did not think any belle would
be willing to pay the child's price
for such a skin, and 7 did not hesitate
in my answer watched a rather at
tractive but thin and sallow girl
blossom into a beauty by the aid of
fresh milk and early retiring hours.
