MUSICAL SENSE IN FLOWERS.

German professor has discovered
that flowers possess a musical sense,
and betray their individual natures
by expanding their petals under the
influence of certain melodies. Roses
prefer old-fashioned airs; peonies, he
finds, blush a deeper hue when they
hear the volcanic vanities Of Wag-
ner; violets are no longer modest
when serenaded bymodern composers.

IS FORGIVENESS OF NATURE
.. J. InssIIs' Beautiful Description Of
Grass, Which Covers the Scars
Man Has Made.

Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and the dandelions of
May, scarcely higher in intelligence
than the minute tenants Of that
mimic wilderness, our earliest recol-
lections are of grass; and when the
fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle Of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom of
the earth has made, and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket Of
the dead. Grass is the forgiveness
Of Nature-her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, saturat-
ed with blood, torn with the ruts Of
cannon, grow green again with grass,
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grass
crown like rural lanes and are oblit-
Grated. Forests decay, harvests per-
ish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into
the imprOgnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality and emerges upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle agri-
culture of the elements which are its
ministers and servants, it softens the
rude outline Of the world. 1t bears
no blazonry of bloom to charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue is more enchant-
ing than the lily or the rose. 1t
yields no fruit in earth or air, and
yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world.-John J. Ingalls,.

Strangely enough, there are two cell

They we're cousins, both were dare

both had tragic ends-one being a

Mooney wired to New York after mid night Saturday morning that MT. Hotchkiss would handle the work.
 Yesterday morning there came a long telegram from New York an nouncing who Schepp was, and what he looked like, and that he was here, treating, and under an assumed name. The district attorneys office was sending a detective here to arrest him, but here make a point, that the district attorneys office detective is not New York detective nor a New York police, but is a different sys- tenn altogether.
 The New York police were not in- formed anything of the arrest, noc that Schepp was located Ihere It was feared they would have protected him, rather than to have aided in his ar rest
 It was stated in the telegram that MT Russo. the district attorney de- tective, might not even inform the To- cal police here of his presence.
 The spirit of distrust placed in the New York police of course is because of the murder of Rosentlhal is taken to be a police job" and the distrust of the police department here is prob ably an echo of the Everett case, the Conlin case, and many others who have been arrested here, wanted at other parts of the country, but who have always been aided in their re- lease. and have never been taken away.
 Realizing, however that confidence could be reposed in the present police department, and only acting with such caution as would prevent outsiders who might prevent outsiders who might attempt to interfere in be- half of Schepps from getting in their work, the matter was taken up with Caut. George Howell, and with Post master Fred Johnson.
 These worked quietly all day on the task of attempting to locate Schepp, expecting at any time though to get some information from New York as to the name Sdhepp was us- ing here. That later was furnished
 Schepp's description is as follows:
 Schepp is an American Hebrew.
 He gives as occupation the enlarge ment of photos, real estate dealer salesman, or gambler.
 He is 35 years of age
 Height, feet, inches, weight 147 pounds.
 Slender build. light complexion. skin rough, hair light.

 Wears jewelry, and has gold filled teeth
