The Snow Flower,

A traveller In Siberia tells us aboat Il
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country, where the ground
Is perpetually covered with a coating
OF frost and snow. II Is called the
snow flower, and the description OF It's
birth and Its short life reads like a
fairy tale. He says II shoots out OF the
frozen soil ON the first day Of the year
and attalns height OF three feet. IN
the third day II blooms, remaining
open for only twenty-four hours, Then
the stem, the leaves and the flower are
converted into snow-ln other words,
the plant goes back into its original al
ements. The leaves are three In nuHi
ber, and the flower Is star shaped. IN
the third day. the day the bloom Hp'
pears. little specks appear on the tx
tremitles OF the leaves. They are about
the size Of the head Of pin and are
the seeds OF the flower, 1t is said that
some OF these seeds were gathered
once and taken to st. Petersburg
where they were buried In a bed OF
snow. The first of the following yea
the plant burst forth and bloomed JUS
as II does In Siberia.

HAD RECOURSE TO DYAMlTE.
Following Raid on Liouor Joint at Sandford, Ind, Three Buildings
 Were Wrecked.

Terre Haute, Ind, Feb. 23.-Follow. ing the raid of an alleged blind tiger liquor shop at Sandford by a sheriff's posse Thursday, two stores and the Methodist church at Sandford were dynamited early Friday. The church building was blown up shortly before midnight, the explosion rous. ing all the people of the village. A few hours later the general stores of J. w. Reese and Schickel & Johnson were dynamited The structures were wrecked and the stock of goods prac- tically ruined. The Reese store was two-story building, the upper floor being occupied by the Masonic lodge. Sandford citizens allege that the dyna- miting was perpetrated out of revenge for the raid Thursday on the liquor store owned by Henry Mcdonald.
 Sheriff Horsely went to the home of Mcdonald Friday after arriving at Sandford, and found him in bed with his clothing on. A witness has been found who claims he saw Mcdonald running from the store buildings a few minutes before the explosions Mcdonald was formerly miner

NO PLACE FOR LEPERs.
No Hospital in United States Where leprosy Patients May be Sent
 Without Pay.

Washington, Feb. 21.--The hearings before the house committee on ap- propriations on the expenditures of the marine hospital service developed the fact that there is no hospital in the United States to which leprosy patients may be sent without pay, ex- cept one in Louisiana which accepts only state patients. It was also brought out that the proposed leprosy hospital in Hawaii will afford no re- fuge to American patients. That hos pital is intended only for experiments as to the best methods of cure and only 40 patients are to be taken at time and these from the leper col ony of the islands. On the point of taking patients from the United States, Surgeon General Wyman said that had been suggested but that the suggestion had not met with favorable consideration, because the Hawaiian people would be very much opposed to having their island made a leper resort for the whole United States They have about 1000 lepers that they are taking care of now on the island of Molokai. and that is where we are located" he said.
