The match making mamma Is rapid
iy becoming thing Of the past. And
to this fact the largely decreasing mar
riage rate may be attributed Certain
ly there remain with us yet few dear
motherly souls who, while not denying
that marriages are made In heaven,
realize that their making is facilitated
/, by a little tactful assistance here De-
low.
But in the main the modern mamma
Is more keen on asserting her own
charms, her talents or sprowess OF one
| kind or another than of' giving her girls
what IL called "a show" or presenting
them in an agreeabIe light when q
suitor appears upon the scene. That
mothers should enter into rivalry with
| their own daughters appears almost
unbelievable. But 1t is, nevertheless, a
| fact.
Perhaps IL Is an unwillingness to ad-
nit the passing OF youth that causes
| this curious state of things on the part
OF the mother. Certainly there is the
| greatest dislike among the aged and
\ the middle-aged to associate with their
own contemporaries. When young
man and his mother are paying call

| take instant possession OF the young
| man while Ii falls to the lot OF the
| daughter TO entertain the parent? The
| young man Is bored TO death while his
mother, perhaps dying to relate the
latest scandal is forced to talk dowr

Only the evergreen hostess Is pleased

HOW COLOR AFFECTS GROWTH.
Result of Experiments Upon Plants
Forcing Flowers by Anaetheties.


From the Chicago Tribuns.
Color agriculture is the latest. Ca
mile Flammarion put seedlings of the
sensitive plant into four different
houses-an ordinary conservatory. q
blue house, an ordinary greenhouse, q
red house.
After few months waiting he
found the little plants in the blue house
practically just as he had put them In.
They seemingly had fallen asleep and
remained unchanged. In the green
glass house they had grown more than
in the ordinary glass house, but they
were weedy and poor. In the red house
the seedlings had become positive
giants, well nourished and well devel-
oped, fifteen times as big as the nor
NAL plants, In the red light the plants
had become representative. IT was
found that the blue light retards the
processes OF decay as well as those Of
growth.
Perhaps the most extraordinary de-
velopment Is that Of forcing plants by
the use OF aIlaesthetics. IL was the
discovery OF DIR. Johnannesen. of Cop
enhagen. The plants are put into a
box into which ether is evaporated.
The heavy vapor descends and enveiops
the plants. After forty eight hours the
plants are taken out and placed In q
cool house. The buds and plants at
once begin to sprout far more rapidly
than those plants that have not been
treated with anaesthetic. ChlOroform
also can be used.
DR.. Johannesen suggests that we
here come on the question OF repose in
plants. In France, by setting UP a sort
OF lightning conductor in the center Of
field and connecting II with a net
work of wires running through the soil
OF the field, an increase OF so per cent.
was secured in potato crop. The elec-
tricity was drawn from the atmo-
sphere.

SWEDISH WOMEN.

In Sweden women share every priv
lege offered to their husbands and
brothers, and those who have to earn
their living find the doors OF no pro-
Session shut In their faces.
Women invade every public depart
ment. They are bank clerks, as well as
postoffice clerks. and life in a Swedish
town is made pleasant for the
worker.
II is to Sweden that the socialist
might look for examples. The state
lnterferes very little with the liberty
Of the subject Legal matters are so
arranged that the poorest man can
hope for justice at a small cost. Arbi-
tration Is held in high favor.
Stealing is rarely heard or, and the
mere serious crimes are almost un-

ductors to collect fares; each passen-
ger puts the money in little box

people hang their hats and coats In

GOOD CoPPE1 VALUES
IN DEATH VALLEY NINE

The old Deaf Valley mine, near Ida,
staked in 1871, and worked spasmodic-
ally ever since, is hereafter to be de-
veloped for its copper values. So de-
clares Upton Tracey. a pioneer in the
region who has owned a large interest
in the mine for many years.
He states hat a copper ledge on the
property gives assays of 20 per cent.
The ore body is 4 feet in width and
clings toward the hanging wall. In the
main workings, mined in former years,
there are still large bodies of silver ore
which carry copper values.
These are to be worked by the Red
Wing Mining company which has under
taken the development of the once
famous old mine which has produced
$500, 900 in silver bullion.
