Certain congressman are laughing
in their sleeves over the predicament
of John Wesley Gaines, although
their laughter is subdued, for the
effervescent representative from
Tennessee Is thoroughly well liked.
Some time ago Mr.. Gaines, 1t will
be remembered, introduced bill
providing for the docking" OF mem
bers absent from their seats with
out permission. The introduction OF
his resolution had the effect OF gall
vanizing into life a number of con-
gressmen from their easy chairs In
the rotunda of the hotel, whittier
they had stolen TO enjoy the waters
and escape from dull session. Now
Mr.. Gaines, who has succombed to
oyerwork and is generally run down.
has been forced to spend the remain
der OF the present session In trying
to WOO back to health at the miner
al springs. While the willy Mr..
Gaines got permission TO absent him
self from Speaker Cannon, he comes
under the provision of his own rule
technically. for the permission was
not granted in open session. IL is
not likely. however, that his col
leagues win insist upon enforcing
his own rule In this case.

LETTER

New York, Feb. 23.-Chinatown
of New York is to be wiped out of
existence and its place given to n
public park. The fiat has gone forth
and In the near future Pell and Mott
streets, the home of chop suey and
yet-o-main, and oriental bric-a-brac,
made in Connecticut, will become
things of the past. "Wiping out a
plague spot" is one of those adjust

that frequently drown the sound, OF
the small voice of common sense.
II the obliteration OF Chinatown has
been classed as a triumph of civic

TO follow. Eevery student OF human
nature known that the scattering
and isolation of individual Chinese
would be impracticable, even If de-
sired They are a peculiar class OF
clannlsh people and in every town,
or city, where they have squatted
there is a Chinatown. Wherever the
Cantonese are gathered together
there will be gambling, opium smok-
ing and an occasional murder by or
der of the tongs, and the question
naturally arises where will be the
site for these performers, as well as
for the establishment of their shops,
restaurants and Joss houses, when
the present Chinatown is no more.
In what part OF the city will the
squatting take place when the great
section of the city can they found
the new Chinatown where so little
harm will be done by their vices and
unhygenic habits as is done in the
city of the Bowery? The projectors
of this useless park never thought
of this but the people OF New York

which the ehrysanthemum flower has

Another queen of flowers, the lily
contributes in more old form to the
menu in some parts Of China. Mrs.
Bishop tells us how the dried flowers of
certain species of lily are largely eaten
as a relish with meats, especially pork.
At Chinklang, on the Yangtse, these
lily flowers account for nearly one
fourteenth of the value of the exports.
Hooker mentions two cases of flower
eating in the Himalayas. The Lep-
chas eat the flower buds Of a plant
of the ginger family. And then there

TIE GROWING GELS

The interesting and significant news
comes from England that the head mis-
tress Of a girls school at Tunbridge
Wells has found it necessary to have
the height of the school desks consid-
erably increased. She says that owing
to the influence of athletics on the
modern girl desks which were high
enough ten years ago are now much too
low.
Of course. The girls are growing tall
er. They are also growing in grace,
wisdom and strength. There seems to
be no limit to their growth. Certainly
none is in sight. There is also a grow
ing discrepancy between their growth
and the growth of the boys. The boys
keep on growing up to be only men,
while the girls are growing into some
thing that is not even little lower
than the angels. And yet the art talk
is that there are no female angels, the
crushing re1oinder to which is that IL
there are no female angels it is high
time that there were some.

A SOLTENT GOVERNOR.

Governor Hughes of New York has
taken his office, and he promises to do
his duty. He seems to be 50 situated
that he can do it unless ambition, or
something else, disturbs anG swerYes
him. The sun&ays of him: He begins
business solvent. He stands debt free
before his fellow citizens. That is to
say, for the first time in many years a
new governor Of New York enters upon
the duties of the office as the repre-
sentative of nothing save his own per-
sonaf convictions and intentions and
his own personal sense of obligation to
the people whose sworn servant he is
to be. He stands absolutely alone as he
faces his masters and the fob to which
they have assigned him. Perhaps
never before in the history of the State
has the Inauguration ceremony been
characterized by so conspicuous and
entire an absence of the political cred
itor, syndicated or individual, organ
lied or sporadic, boss or CRATER, Not
one creditor was visible at Albany yes
terday. This respectable loneliness,
this admirable isolation, was the main
feature of the occasion.
1t is big thing to be a solvent gov
| ernor. 1t is also an unusual thing. i
is quite as unusual for a governor who
happens to begin business solvent to
stay so. 1t will be very interesting to
see what happens to the State of New
York and its governor, and it will be
! extremely encouraging if Governor
Hughes goes out of Office as solvent as

rice, &C. They are said to have lus-
cious- but peculiar taste when fresh,
and to resemble in flavor inferior fig
when dry. 1t has been reckoned that
a man and his wife and three children
might be supported for three or four
months, on the flowers of one Mahwa
tree. In other cases it is the pollen of
the flower that is eaten. The pollen of
certain species of reed Is made into
bread, and thus eaten both in Scinde
and New ealand. The pollen of the
sage palm is also eaten.
