ARRANGEMENT OF

If flowers had tongues they would certainly arise and protest against the violence that Is done their beauty by the average woman In arranging boQuets.

Mas turtiums and sweet peas are Jumped Tn one bowl: flowers of all colors are combined. looking for all the world china vases adorned with imitation flowers which are libel on the real ones
 The vase. or bowl, by the way Is most important consideration In the arrangement of flowers Like wo- mans dress or the frame of picture It should be calculated to make the eye dwell. not on itself but on tha thing It incloses. Lovely for holding flowers are the clear glass globes ana the tall vases of the same materlal. says The New York Tribune; There Is something very attractive about the water, visible through the ElAss. colored receptacles are used. it IS sat- est to follow Nature. who, sticks to green for tho background for ner brilliant colors.

Anicent Concrete.

Springfield Republican.
 At last archeolgists have advanced reasonable theory regarding the im- mense ruins in Mexico and Central America which testify to the remark able achievements of vanished people. and one likely to be better appreciated In this age of concrete than ever be- fore The new contention Is that the great buildings. supposed to have been built of stone. were really created of concrete that was made In molds of gigantic size Here is an explanation which explains, and also lies within the realm of the possible. Our boasted civilization has only recently reached the point of large concrete construc- tion. and 1t Is not difficult to believe that it is one of the lost arts about which Wendell Phillips used to lecture. The difficulty that must have attended the transportation of what have been believed to be colossal stone blocks vanishes If they were really made of concrete. for which abundant material wal easily obtainable. It fig also possi- nl that the remot. race concerned achh ved better concrete construction than we have yet obtained. The abundant carving of a comparatively crude sort that appears In the remains of these ruined cities could have been once in concrete. The last word has not been spoken in this matter. of course. but the theory commends itself.

CACTUS NOW USEFUL
PROCESS FOUND& TO EXTRACT SHALL sPINES.
Priclkly Pear Cultivated in Texas to Feed StOek--PIanf For Manufac-
 ture Soon to Be Estab- lisked.

San Antonio, Tex. Sept. i1.--That much abused plant. the prickly pear or cactus in general. has at last found It's field of usefulness. While cactus has long heen known to possess excellent food properties for cattle. and has been eaten by them during seasons when grass was scarce on the ranch. II spines have always stood in the way of It's general use. Eating the prickly pear in the raw state has generally resulted In the loss of cattle. because the spines would lodge in the mouth and alimsntaTy canal of the animal and cause 1t to become either very sick or die.
 To extract the small splnss from tn" plant has been tried. but has not been successful J. H Glazier and Co.,, of Kansas City, Mo, for this reason de- cided some time ago to construct a mill which. while leaving the spines In the feed. would reduce them to a state | In which tliey could not possibly tnjure the animal. Their process also calls for the addition of certain clements | missing in the plant. but need to make l 1t a staple food.
 c, L. Young, 4 representative of the firm. Is ,now in this city making ar | arrangements for the erection of plant for manufacturing cactus feed. The | plan is to get stockmen interested Tn the enterprise and locate, the nlil LII the vicinity of the city. The raw msts- rial is to be shipped in principally from the territory southwest of here. where the plant grows in greater protusion and size than perhaps elsewhere.
 Spineless cactus is already cultivated In these parts. and the establishment of the mill would mean that land nt for little else will be cultivated with the wild cactus in order to insure steady supply. The company intends to pay on an average of $1.bO per ton for the raw material, and since prickly pear is exceedingly heavy, this would mean that a fine opportunity is pre- sented to the farmer. The cultivation of the plant is simple enough. After blowing. young plants are set out, ana after that crops can be harvested every two or three months. Since only the upner part of the plant is cropped. 1t is not necessary to re plant for several | years.
 The machinery and process of hdding other food values to the prickly pear | feeds are patented.

 The announcement of the latter created great interest as there are few cities in the United States where salt water bathing is obtainable in clubs or elsewhere except in the ocean. There is, of course, fresh water bath ing, needle, shower. and plain baths. hot and cold water. and every luxury the visitor could desire

BOX, THEIR MASCOT
GULF CITY PRINTERS CHERISH
 RELIC OF OLD DAYS.
During Disastrous Fire, One RiNked Life to Save Precious Baiiot-Box
 --Ii0raee Greedy Held 1t

Mobile, Ala, Sept. 1.-The Printers Union of this city sometimes makes the boast that 1t is the cradle of the typographical union. Without enter ing into the merits of that mooted question suffice 1t to say that the local union dates its existence from 1s3s and is an old organization.
 Moreover, the Mobile union has an heirloom, handed down from genera tion to generation, which 1t prizes much and looks upon as a genuine mascot. The first ballot box used in 1886 is still used by the Mobile print CTS in holding their elections and 1t is said that an effort to make the members use any other would pro- bably result In a riot. An application for memb ership in the local union was, a few months ago. laid over for a month owing to the absence of the ballot box from the place Of meet ing.
 The original printers union of Mobile was little more than social organization, and the ballot box was used in voting upon the names pro- posed for membership. After the for OI tuc NdlIOhdi VI in 1852 the old ballot box was retain ed by the local union and again after the international organization In 1867 Since the latter date 1t has been a permanent fixture of the local union for 1t represented to them the history of their first fraternal life. hallowed by tradition.
 Throughout its long existence the Mobile printers ballot box has had narrow escapes from the fire and flood but was rescued every time. Once IT disastrous fire in Mobile. 1t Is said the box was saved by daring young printer at the risk of his life Time and again the box has heer misplaced and even temporarily lost but would turn up again to be used for an election.

MANUFACTURE COTTON ]
 WHERE STAPLE GROWS

It is economy and far more con- venient and advantageous to rnanufac- ture cotton where the staple grows. The time is coming to pass that the people are expecting the mills of the future to be located convenient to the cotton fields ani good railroad facili- ties. On this phase The Texas Bank ers' Journal says:
 "Advices indicate that a dozen or more English capitalists are in New York for the purpose of organizing a $50 000. 900 syndicate to establish cot- years ago predicted such results. The writer as founder and secretary for years of the Houston Business League, knows whereof he speaks when stat ing that many strong letters were written to New England manufactur- CTS to locate their plants In Texas: but New England has slept over her opportunities too long.
 "In this day of frenzied commercial and industrial enterprise that Is not confined to one continent it was safe prophecy that the time was not long remote when the sagacious capi- talist would plant his money in cotton mills where the staple was grown:
 conditions have so changed within the past few years as to give addi- tIonal eneoura cement to this proposi- ton. The possible opening or the Panama Canal in 1915, the access of foreign markets at reduced cost. the saving in cost of transporting the raw material have at last attracted the att kention of capital. It will prove one of tha wisest. inSestmens made in the South since or before the civil war"

 "The South offers unusual opportuni- ties for railroad construction and some of the ablest men in the transportation and financial field are rushing their ueutenants there so as to/get an early start and share in the rich stakes. The indications are that crops in Georgia this year will break all previous rec ords. But prosperity is not confined to the agricultural interests.
 There are few idle industries in our State, and those not in operation now are preparing to resume business Fin ancially the South Is in better condi- ton than ever before and for the first time in its history 1t will finance Its crops without calling upon the East for much assistance. Money is abund- ant for all legitimate purposes.
 We welcome outside aid in further ing commercial enterprise, and those who invest their money in Georgia and other parts of the South can do so with the assurance that 1t is safe as 1t would be in any other section of the United States"
