From his early youth Coleridge lived
in world of books and dreams, yet
his favorite walk seems to have been
the Strand, the last place in the world
for poet to lose himself in reverie.
AS he strolled down the street he i'm
agined himself swimming the Helles-
pont, the feat of which other poets
had written and which the poet Byron
was to accomplish later. Once while
the mind of Coleridge was thus far
from the busy Strand he absently
thrust his hands before him in the
manner of one swimming. Suddenly
one hand came In contact with a gen
tleman's pocket.
The gentleman. thinking to capture
a thief. seized the hand and exclaimed:
What. So young and so wicked
He accused the poor poetic boy of an
attempt at pocket picking.
With some fright and few tears
the boy explained. and we can mag
Inc that words did not fail him who
was to become the most brilliant talk
er of his age. The gentleman was de
lighted with Coleridge's Imagination
which could turn the Strand into the
Hellespont. The intelligence OF the
young Leander made the stranger in
Guire into Coleridge's tastes, and when
he found the boy liked books he open
ed for him subscription at the circu-
.ating library in Cheapside. -Westmin-

Edible Flowers of india.

Many edible flowers, it appears. are
to be found in India. One of the most
appreciated grows on tree about

but which in the country itself is
named the "mhowad." The natives
consume an enormous number of these
flowers. whose pale yellow corollac are
pulpy and thick, and they prepare
them IN various ways.
When they are fresh they are put in
cakes. to which they give sweet

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender

One of the most annoying things
about swans is that they live to an

impossible for the ordinary observer
to guess what their years may be.
President Grover Cleveland once bad
an amusing experience with some
swans, according to a writer in the

n number of wild swans. one of which
he sent to each member Of his cabi-
net and to some other associates.

THE WAY TO WIN THE WEST.

Senator Bristow of Kansas, one
of the leading republican insurgents,
says in a recent interview what is
being said very frequently in these
latter times. He declares: THE dem
ocratic organization is in the hands
of the interests, Just as the republic
can organization is in the hands of
the interests" Now, the democratic
party must free itself from this re-
proach. There is but one way, and
that is to purge itself of the demo-
cratic deserters. 1t must say to the
democratic representative and the
democratic senator who voted with
the republicans in the last session of
congress what Othello says to his Of
Tending lieutenant in the play; Gas
sio, | love thee, but nevermore be
officer of mine" The democratic de-
serters must be reduced to the
ranks. What Senator Bristow says
is typical of what is being said all

fought nearly everything but Can

Taft, who makes piecrust pledges as

wooden manufacturers dictated the
schedules of the tariff bill; that the
wool tariff was too high, but that
the WOODEN manufacturers, fOrsooth,
insisted that if their graft was cur
tailed they would defeat the whole
bill? And the president of the Unit

bill as they directed him to sign it.
