blooming many weeks ahead of their
proper seasons. The electric light
has remarkable effect, too, on the
size OF the blooms, violets measuring
one inch across, roses over eight
inches and chrysanthemums a foot in
diameter. Tulips, lilies and other
dubious flowers have increased in
proportion and attained such sizes
that the eXperimenter himself has
been astounded
About all the horticulturists claim
to be able to effect in the matter of
artificial coloring is to deepen or to
tighten the tint of a flower, render
ing the cOlOring more brilliant, and,
IN fact, to give a bloom a dozen diff
terent shades that otherwise it would
not attain. In the case of the expert
menter above mentioned all this is
accomplished by the use of an cleo
trio arc light and different colored
globes. Almost at the outset of his
investigations and experiments this
authority found that red globes pro-

A Mereenary Novelist.

Chambers, the novelist
Chambers went one summer" he
said ito Sunapee with his brother. AT
the Ben Mere inn the aristocratic. old
ladies in rocking chairs, seated on the
cool piazza that overlooked the lake,
were very much stirred up by Mr..
Chambers arrival. Whenever he ap.
peared they gathered about him and
talked books.
Chambers was always ready for
them. He had always on his lips
some witty saying to double them up.
".Oh, Mr.. Chambers, cried an old
lady one day, VI admire Lorraine" so
much! I've read it eight times"
Madame, answered Chambers
with a bow. would rather hear you

THE OLD PARLoR.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Within this room in former years
Perhaps some lover, overbold
Or trembling with a lovers fears
The sweet old story bravely told;
From yonder window, long ago
| A maiden may nave looked In vain
For one who fought his countrys' foe,
And never would return again.
Beneath this ancient chandelier
A man and maiden may have stood,
And rcvercntly bowed to hear
A preachers words, and deemed
them good;
Here, long ago, the first low sigh
That some fair lady's love betrayed
May have been heard with gladness by
One who had doubted and delayed.
And here how oft in seasons gone
May sorrow have remained space
To keep the curtains tightly drawn
And watch silent, upturned face!
Here let no jest be lightly passed,
And let no tale, be glibly told;
Here joy has been and grief has cast
The shadow that is dark and cold.

The appalling death-rate from kid- ney disease is due in most eases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, head aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney se- cretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appearance, do not de- lay Help the kidneys at once.

Carlisle, of Wassiac. N. Y, was a white girl. Their courtzhip and marriage was one of the romances of the reser- vation. Sarah Carlisle Harris, the mother Of thirteen children by the In- dian chief, still Nves on the reserva- tion, a fine old woman who sticks to and believes in most of the traditions of her husbands people. Nine of her children are living. Princess Jessie is next to the youngest of her daughters. Mrs. Harris is one of the best of the basket makers of the tribe and has re- duced it to a fine art.
 Princess Jessie would like to see the making of ornamental basket work and wallets and handbags from rattlesnake skins become a great industry for the Indians. Schaghticoke could be made into another East Aurora or a William Morris colony, she thinks. The baskets of the tribe are already known throughout the New England states.
 The men cut the hickory trees of the mountains into four foot lengths which are split into sections, soaked in water until easily diesected and then pounded into fibre from which the baskets are made. Princess Jessfeis mother, Sarah, and her sister, Grace Storms, are lead CTS in the basket making, and the handiwork ranges from fancy candy and fruit baskets to the big bushel and half baskets of commerce.
