WILL NOT TAKE CHANCES.
Will Put Names Of Electors on Eaca
Party on Ticket.

PaIty ON c
Jacksonville state board of election
commissioners which met at the state.
house advised the county election com.
missioners to put on the ticket at the
national election in November the names
of representatives Of all parties whether
or not the board had been presented with
a petition from fifty to do SO, as is re.
quired by law.
The state commissioners will give the
Republican and Bull Moose voters no OPP
portunity to challenge the vote Of Mis-
sissippi after the November election,
By adhering strictly to the law thess
electors of these two parties would bt
left off in many counties where it woulI
be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain
a petition from fifty qualified voters, but
if such action will cause the state to b
challenged in November, the few votes
that would be lost by the other two
parties would be bought too dearly by
the Democrats.

have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows In
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this Is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, the country is
very beautiful" Speaking OF the
friends with whom she went up to
live, she says: "They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about foul years, also
going from Wisconsin-'they have
about twenty acres of oats and bar
ley, five aces alfalfa, three acres pc.
tatoes and l don't know how many OF
vegetables. I think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
err. They are now draining a slough
which they will afterwards pillow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd OF cattle, and Mrs. G..
has about 100 chickens. They make
on an average Of 30 pounds OF butter
every week. I never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
In Alberta; they have a splendid cli-
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel

changes the earth from one horn to the

New England Farms.
From the Boston transcript.

lraCScr1pl-
At a meeting OF the Publicity Club in
Springfield this week. Albert W. Fulton,
managing editor or the Orange Judd pub
locations, stated that lin the past five
years there is not so much heard OF the
abandoning Of farms In New England"
and gave a number of reasons why this is
so The fact itself Is assurance that farm
conditions have greatly improved in this
section. and that il is a fact can doubt
less be proved by consulting those who
not long ago were the factors through
which these deserted lands were offered
TO the public for merely nominal sums.
The renaissance OF agriculture, says Mr..
Fulton, was started in 19o0 and since
that time the industry has been building
up. II may not be apparent to those who
are tilling or pretending to till the old
WORKOUT lands in the old out-of-date
way. but where business discernment and
enterprise have been applied the response
has been very gratifying.
BY the easy method of referring to the
census returns We can learn that farm
values have appreciated very perceptibly
and We have the assurance OF this OBJ
server and student that New England Is
coming to It's own in agriculture. The
whole section has an area of about 6o,OO0
square miles. or little less than the
state OF Missouri. But of that only about
20 per cent. or "A, 00o square miles. are

half the size Of the state Of New York.

PAYS STIFF PENALTY.
Rich Man, Seeking Treatment fol
Nothing, Hands Over $500.
ial Cablerram to The Star,

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, May 25.-It is no longer safe for
well-to-do people to plead poverty and
obtain bed and treatment at hospitals for
nothing. Partisan who is described as
rich tried 1t, and has had to pay 500
for the attempt. He was AFFLICTED with
cataract and obtained admission to one
Of the parish hospitals. where he was
operated on and attended until he had
fully recovered. The syndicate. Of ocu-
lists inquired into his case. and reported
to the administration that deception
had been practiced. 1t was argued that
not only had the rich patient occupied a
bed and had taken UP the time Of the at
tendants that might have been given to
a really poor patient, but he also escaped
paying the customary fee TO one of the
members Of the profession. Who would
have had to perform the operation out
side the hospital.
The authorities threatened to bring suit
aga inst the patient for fifty louis dam
ages. and rather than have a lawsuit
over the matter he paid the sum. Half
the amount was handed over to the fund
Of the syndicate Of Paris oculists.

Flowers Of Ancient Egypt.
From Harper's Weekly

From Harper's Weekly.
In suburb of Cairo stands the Ma
tional Museum Of Egyptian ANTIQUITIES
founded fifty years ago by a F,renchman
known as Marietta Bey. One department
is devoted to an interesting collection OF
specimens Of plants which have been
found in the sepulchral monuments Of
that country.
1t Is remarkable that although the boz
tanical collection is large and contains
many varieties. every plant Is still to be
round growing in the valley Of the Nile.
Moreover, the closest examination fails to
reveal the slightest difference between the
plants that fourished nifty centuries ago
and those which the traveller sees today
on the banks of the river.
Flowers such as the boy Moses or the
children OF Joseph picked still bloom UNI
changed There are to be seen here blue
sprays of larkspur which loving hands
laid upon the bodies Of those who died a
thousand years before Abraham and
Sarah went into Egypt.
In the tombs Of later date have been
found. together with apparently simple
ornamental flowers. such as holiyhOcks
and chrysanthemums. the various fruits,
vegetables and grains for which the land
has ever been renowned, such as figs.
dates. olives, grapes, pomegranates,
onions. barley and wheat. Around the
necks and upon the breasts of those who
died at the time when Solomon reigned in
Jerusalem. about 1000 B. c.. were found
garlands of celery, which does not appear
to have been used at that time as vege-
table by the Egyptians.
All these plants, when they were pre-
pared for the funeral ceremonies. were
subjected to great heat. by which their
form and color were preserved, but their
terminating power was destroyed. Hence
all the stories which have been told Of
wheat having been raised from grains
that have lain in the wrappings of num-
mics for fifty centuries are untrue In
scrupulous natives have sold credulous
travellers wheat In which modern grains
have been mixed with the ancient, but
only the modern grains can terminate.
