WOMEN AND FLOW.
ERS.
Why They Prefer Chrysanthemum to
the Fickle Cherry Blossom.

| When the horticultural Society opened
its flower show at the American Museum
of Natural History the other night, one
of the speakers was X. Iyima, the Japan
csc Consul-General in this city, who
talked of women and ehrysanthemums
in his own country.
Among the Japanese he said, there
is a custom to interpret flowers acord-
ing to their color, shape, and time of
blossom. FOR example, cherry trees
come to fun bloom in spring. when the
plants and flowers come up, birds sing
cheerful melodies. plains and fields are
spread with a green carpet. and every
thing is bright and gay. But should rain
or wind come at the time of blossom,
the flowers fall and wither Immediately
and retain nothing of their former lux
uriance. In this sense the cherry bios
som is very often compared with d
charming and fascinating woman whose
captivating power surpasses every other
quality. To our great regret, fascination
in woman is not always combined with
constancy and virtue. but. on the con-
trary, very often with friyolity and ca
price and like the cherry blossom, per-
ishes and fades with exposure to the
slightest storm
This fact accounts for the reason
that Japanese women seek their ideal
symbol in the ehrysantemum and the
plum blossoms instead of in the cherry
blossoms. They take these flowers, es-
peeially the chrysanthemum, as the sym
Dol of feminine virtue and love and
cherish them with universal admiration
They adore the chrysanthemum because
it stands against the severe frost, and in
the midst of the autumn season when
the lotus dies and the leaves of the trees
fall, it remains to inspire and cheer us
with its wondrous splendor"

chairman of the board of directors Of

Railroad, IN an address before the New

THE Boston & Maine has suffered a
decrease of $1,221,000 in net returns

present fiscal year" Chairman Elliott
said He added: "Unless this decrease
can be wiped out in the remaining
eight months. the company will have
failed to earn enough to pay its obli-
cations. So the situation, you see, is
very serious"
Chairman Elliott said the remedy
was to be found in an increase in rates.
Referring 10 the governments de-

Now that Gen Carran2a can claim that
his party is in practical physical possess

with the further requirements of inter

On Incomes.

Incomes are now being taxed. 1t is,
therefore, desirable that something
should be known about them. An in
come is anything which you cannot
live upon expressed in terms of Lawful
money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the mem
bers of a state legislature, or police
captain, or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes; to lie about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will not have TO pay any are complain
ing TO their friends and neighbors
about the way. they are oppressed by
the income tax. This is one of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary in size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present. No income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family it is
vainly attempting to support. Here
it is generally despised and looked
down upon.
An income tax is an effort on the
part of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also To
support the government in its main
business in life, namely. living beyond
its income.
The government, which receives a
larger income than any one else,
should be taxed upon it. The pro-
ceeds might go toward relieving mil
lionaires in distress.
Every income is known by the com
pany 1t keeps.-Life.

Evidence All in

| Washington, Nov 26.-Preliminary
hearings before the Interstate Conn

vance of per cent. in all freight
rates were concluded, late Tuesday.
An adjournment was taken, until Dec.
10, in order to afford the commission
and the opposing counsel time to
analyze the mass of statements, testi-
mony and statistics submitted by the
attorneys for the roads.
The evidence submitted, Tuesday,
was designed to demonstrate in con-
crete and analytical form the declared
necessity for the proposed increase in
freight rates. Accounting experts,
statisticians, rate makers and expert
enced traffic officers submitted to the
commission a wilderness of tables
showing the financial operations of
the Eastern roads. separately and
combined. Many months have been
passed in the preparation. They are
to be made the basis of the testimony
