Collection of Rare Bulbs.

The collection of rare plants at the
Phipps conservatory and the cabinets
in the Carnegie museum will be en-
riched by a number of donations from
Miss Ida Vera Simonton, who has just
returned from Africa. To the con-
servatory Miss Simonton will give a
package of bulbs of the famous cam
melia rose, which on the stem or in
a bouquet is ever changing in color.
White in the morning, it becomes a
delicate pink at noon. At sunset its
petals are brilliant red. Some rare
orchids and the famous lily, gloriana
superba, are in the collection. The
savage tribes of western Africa still
perpetuate in crude way the lost
arts of ancient Egypt. Their idols are
typically Egyptian and their method
of handling dyes is the same as that
of the subjects of the mummy curers
of the pharaohs on the Nile. Articles
in burnt wood. pieces of cloth dyed
with gay and everlasting colors and
the grotesque idols will go to the
museum.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

REsoLvEo TO SINUS EVE.
Mrs. lntheswim Intended to Draw 60
cial Line In Heaven.

The minister had dropped in to tea,
and the conversation had drifted
through various channels to the ques-
ton Of whether or not we should know
each other In heaven. Presuming that
our physical beings would be perpetu-
ated. and that recognition would be as
sured, the minister had asked various
ones at the table among whom the Bib
lical characters they would be most
interested in recognizing.
Some mentioned one prophet and
some another, but one lady, noted for
her social exclusiveness, had not
spoken. Turning to her the minister
said: And who would you like to meet
in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"
Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. II
really don't know" she said. but there
is one thing do know. and that is
that 1 shouldn't care to meet Eve. In
fact, don't know that would speak

atheist looking at the sphinx and, in
a flash, not merely believing, but feel
ing that he had before him proof of
the life of the soul beyond the grave,
of the life of the soul of Khufu beyond
the tomb of his pyramid. Always as
you return to the sphinx you wonder
at 1t more, you adore more strangely
its repose, you steep yourself more
intimately in the aloof peace that
seems to emanate from it as light
emanates from the sun. And as you

pi, and Hudson river valleys; tuber-
culosis; and the establishment of a
bureau at Washington from which
will be answered questions regarding
the public health of the country. In
connection with this work local adj

of the country have been named; that

Country Life and Temperance.

Marinette Eagle Star: The asser-
ton is repeatedly made by British
authorities that the physical condition
of Englishmen is deteriorating and
that unless something can be done to
restore to the mass of Englishmen
their old time strength and virility
the days of the English Empire may
be numbered. The reason for their
physical degeneracy is found in the
large proportion crowding into the
cities and living under unsanitary
conditions, together with the excessive
use of strong drink both by men and
women. There is a warning in this
condition in the mother country which
Americans would do we'll to heed be-
fore it is too late. The tendency here
is very strong toward congregating
in the large centers. The agricultural
districts are crying for laborers while
thousands roam the great cities unem-
ployed and desperate, 1t calls for the
best thought of the best mento check
this national evil. In good times it
was bad, but in bad times like the
present it becomes serious menace.
