went out early in the season this year a most unexpected treat was in store. Since the days of Grandma's garden and the days on the farm, never has such display on a dinner table been seen. A careless little bunch of flowers, lilacs, fox gloves. magnonette. jelly flowers; all smelling, oh, so dear and countrified; lemon verbenas and just one or two sweet smelling cary roses.
 Nothing wonderful you say but to many those flowers brought back scenes very different from those to be witnessed on every side at the great pleasure place of the people," The head waiter was asked how he came to arrange such a de- licious array of flowers on the table of a high priced restaurant. He shrugged his shoulders looked embarrassed. and said that he hoped his patrons would excuse him, but just while they lasted-and looked and smelled so sweetly-and really there were very few customers to see them, and they seemed rather to cheer up things and make one feel at home. It suddenly dawned on him that the inquiry had not been meant a complaint, and the mans face frightened instantly. "Ah, I seel Madame likes them, too. Perhaps with a bow, "she will take them. They are not always easy to get especially in the city. Next time she comes she will not find such flowers, perhaps, for then the season will be fully open and we will have to use hothouse flowers"
 And he smilingly went his way, leav- ing Madame the possessor of a re- markedly beautiful bunch of flowers that could not be purchased for love or money at any of the Broadway shops

 As a result of this meeting the UniFer- sity of the South was organized. A char ter was obtained the following year from the state of Tennessee, probably a more liberal charter than could be now pro- cured from any state; and after a careful study of several proposed sites, a large domain was acquired at Sewanee, Ten nessee, upon plateau of the Cumber- land mountains, in a region noted for It's healthfulness and for its great natural beauty. Part Of the desired endowment of 8, ,000, 900 with which 1t was intended 70 begin the work was subscribed. Tempo rary buildings were erected and every thing seemed propitious when, on the 10th day of October 1s60 the corner stone was laid of what was intended to be ths central building of a group to serve the purposes of the various departments of the university.
 Four years of civil war followed, and m 1865 the University of the South was left with naught but its charter and domain. The Rev. pr. Quintard, having been elected bishop of Tennessee, gave his im- mediate attention to the work of reviv- ing the plans for the university, which, although belonging to the entire south, had been located within his diocese, By persistent efforts in every part of ;he

advises strongly against nasty and arbi- trary legislation, and he is right
 I believe that every fair-minded man will admit that there is need for some sort of regulation of public utility cor porations, that there has been wide- spread and in some instances deliberate abuse by, these corporations, but no last ing good can be accomplished through nasty and radical Legislation. The cor poration must be given fair treatment or the entire fabric of reform will crumble from sheer topheaviness. No lasting re- form has ever been accomplished by ex- treme measures, and I feel certain that some of the legislation that has been in- dulged in by feverish legislatures will fail of its own flimsiness and patent venom.
 Governor Hughes has taken a bold step, but l believe it is a wise one and one that will result in ultimate good not only for the state of New York, but for the entire country. A just and adequate rem edy for all evils is promised in the office of the public utilities commissions, and they should be given unhampered oppor- tunity to act

Governor Hughes Idea.

 In my opinion, Governor Hughes of New York has struck the key to the proper solution of the regulation of pub lie service corporations.
 Wednesday he vetoed the Baldwin two cent railroad rate bill. which provided that two cents should be the maximum fare on all roads of 150 miles or more in the state. The bill had passed the legislature without any investigation on the part of the legislature into the rail road business or making any inquiry into the operation, traffic or capitalization of a single line
 Public utilities commissions have been created in New York for the purpose of
 making such investigations, and they have been vested with full power to en- force their findings and rulings. It IS
 the opinion that these commissions should
 investigate every road in the state indt vidually and establish rates that will be
 just and fair to all lines.
 Governor Hughes in memorandum at tached to his veto says. "Unfarness oa
 the part of the railroa>o does not justify unfairness on the past of the state" He

 The home of the sunshine and the morn ing is not in the city, but far away among the hills and dells where the flowers bloom, where the brooks and birds sing the songs that joy teaches them, where innocence and contentment find their dwelling places in the honest hearts Of the simple people, and where virtue loves to commune with the people, for she most often finds welcome.
 Blushing sunshine and morning only come to the city to invite us 70 their pleasant abode.

A Common Cold.

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous Diseases would never
be heard of. A cold often forms a
culture bed for germs of infectious
diseases. Consumption, pneumo-
mia, diphtheria and scarlet fever,
four of the most dangerous and
fatal diseases, are Of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the
germs OF these diseases, that
would not otherwise find lodg-
ment. There is little danger how
ever, of any of these diseases be-
ing contracted when a good ex-
pectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Congh Remedy is
used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development
of the germs of these diseases.
That is,why this remedy has proved
SO universally successful in pre-
venting pneumonia. 1t not only
cures your cold quickly, but mini.
mlzes the risk Of contracting these
dangerous diseases. For sale by

Its cradle was on the sunny hills to the
south of the Caspian sea, and there the

taste. The men of Caubul ground il
to a dry powder and ate it with relish
half as medicine, half because they
liked it. And then those days went by

somewhat crude in his manners, but
he had piled up a fortune In the TN
ware business and in buying up at
discount in times of panic commerclai

hands.

Without word the dry goods mer-
