Sunshine at Night Doesn't Fool the
 i-z.s. Flowers In the Arctic,
 The sensitiveness of. plants is never failing interest to all lovers of the swoats and fields. Like d human being sensing a fall in the barometer and the. coming of a rainstorm, so the clover in the meadow feels and shuts its leaves. A close observer says that a field that was white with blossoms has suddenly become quite changed by the approach of a heavy cloud or the falling of a light shower. " The3acommon chickweed opens it's blossom only when the. sun is shining and counts on only the bright hours. When it closes its blossoms rain in variably follows. The sea purslane has the same habit It never opens in cloudy weather and closes when the sun is low, about to sink. The scarlet pifnpernel never exposes it's flowers to a shower. ~. --.a s,. ...s...
 One of the naturalists in an arctic expedition noticed that, although the summer sun shone through the nights, the plants made no mistake, but when the sun got round to the west they closed up as if the sun had really set.
 The common3:"f four o'clock" almost always closes its flowers at that hour. and so many plants have that instinct that Iinnaeus made .a floral clock of towering plants, each of which had it's K time for closing. The wood sorrel not s6nIy drops it's leaves and shuts its pur- ple veined' flowers when it rains, but does the same if the ground near by is struck with a stick.

Raphael.

At the age of twenty-one Raphael had done work that had well surpass- ed his master, who was then a man of fifty-eight.
 By the time he was twenty-five Raphael's fame had so spread that Pope Julius II. summoned him to Rome to decorate certain chambers in the papal palace. From this time to his death, a period of twelve years, he remained the greater part of the time in Rome. Though most famous as a painter. he was sufficiently great in architecture also to be appointed at the age of thirty to succeed Bramante as the architect of the new St Peters. But his greatest commission remained still, that of decorating the walls of the Vatican. The remaining years of his life were crowded with an amaz- ing amount of work-numbers of large and smaller paintings and numerous frescOes.-Woman's Home Companion.

Captain Edwin E. Marvin, S1, who for forty years was clerk of the United States district court, died at his home, No. 51 Gillett street, Hartford, Sat- urday morning from heart failure induced by Bright's disease. Edwin October 5, 1888, the son of Ira K. and Julia Young Marvin, who died within a few months of each other
 Captain Marvin was educated in the public schools of Holland and later was graduated from the Connecticut Literary Institute at Suffield. When
 he had completed his education he took up the study of law in the office of Judge Loren P. Waldo in Holland. Captain Marvin was admitted to prac- tice in 1858 and praoticed in Rock vile and Colchester, making his home in the former place At the out break of the civil war Captain Marvin enlisted and was made first lieutenant of Company F, Fifth Regiment, O. ". During the last year of his ser vice MT. Marvin was elevated to the rank of captain of the company. After leaving the army MT. Marvin returned to Rockville and resumed his law practice. On December 24, 1866, he was married to Miss Cynthia P. Waldo, daughter of Judge Loren P. Waldo of Holland In 1867 Judge Waldo was appointed clerk of the United States district court and the United States circuit court. He ap- pointed Captain Marvin as assistant clerk. The families of Judge Waldo and Captain Marvin then moved .to Hartford. In 1874 Judge Waldo re- signed his place and Captain Marvin succeeded him, beginning the long service in the office which only ended with his death. Captain Marvin was a man of fine physique and was an ardent hunter and fisherman. In 1904, however, his sight began to fail, and by 906 he had become total ly blind. He accepted his affiiction oheerfully and never discontinued his work, which was made as easy for him as possible by his assistant and stenographers. In 1908 another sad ness came into his life with the death of his wife. Captain Marvin main- tained his home at No. 51 Gillett street up to his death. Captain Mar win from the time he first became a voter was an ardent Jeffersonian democrat. He was a member of Trin- ity church, where he was a regular attendant. He was known to his friends as a man of strong will and character, generous and big-hearted in his dealings and painstaking and conscientious in his work. Captain Marvin leaves one son, Judge L. P. Waldo Marvin of the Hartford pro- bate court. The funeral was held at the home Monday at 2.3O o'clock, Rev. pr. E. deF. Miel, rector of Trinity church, officiating. Burial was in the family plot at Cedar Hill cemetery.

SURGEON TO A TIGER.
An Exciting Operation That Was Re-
 paid by Gratitude.

An Exciting Operation That Was Re-
 paid by Gratitude.
 When one of the tigers in the ZOO logical gardens in Dublin was treated for gangrene in its paw, Rev. Samuel Haughton, NJ. D., undertook to per form the dangerous experiment of operating on the animal.
 The mate of the tiger was first se- cured in a side den. A net devised by Professor Haughton was thrown oSer the tiger, and he was drawn forward to the door of the cage. Four stout keepers then held the feet of the struggling animal, while Professor Haughton cut away the diseased claw.
 The suffering beast furiously but vainly tried to get at him during the operation, but the rage of the tigress looking on through the bars of the side den was much more terrible to behold. She roared and violently flung herself against the barriers in her mad desire to go to the rescue of her mate.
 When the tigress was admitted to the cage after the wound of her mate had been dressed she turned up the paw and examined 1t with touching sOlicitude and then licked her mate as a cat ncks her kittens to soothe them, purring softly the while.
 But perhaps the most extraordinary part of the affair was the sequel. A week later Professor Haughton was again at the zoo to see how his pa tient was getting on. When the ami nal espied him he began to purr like a cat, allowed him to examine the paw and seemed pleased that he should do so. Indeed, for years after ward the tiger and tigress showed themselves most friendly and grateful to Professor HaughtOn.-Westminster Gazette.

being incapacitated for the CAMPAIGN.
He intends to make a few speeches
but to cover the country from coast

The first campaign problem taken
up by Colonel Roosevelt was the tan.
