For some time past sweets pro-
duced from flowers crystallized have
been on sale, and, though they COM
mand very fancy prices, selling as
high as 81 a pound retail they have
persistently increased in favor. Now
we learn that an attempt is to be
made to put various brands ofsforal
cigarettes upon the market. The Gig
arettes have proved most agreeable,
and with them the smoker would be
able to blow the breath of roses,
sweetpeas and violets about the house

"All is fair in love and war;" runs the
old saying. and Mr.. e. A. Vizetelly in
his volume of "reminiscences. MY Days
of Adventure" proves the truth of it.
Referring to the appearance Of the rail-
way station at Nantes during the
Franco-German war, he says:
"Never since have seen anything re-
sembling it. "A thousand panes of glass
belonging TO windows or roofing had
been shivered to atoms. Every mirror
in either waiting or refreshment rooms
had been pounded to pieces, every gilt
frame broken into little bits. The clock
lay about in small fragments; account
books and printed forms had been torn
to scraps; partitions! chairs, tables,
benches. boxes, nests Of drawers, had
been hacked, split, broken, reduced to
mere strips of wood; the large stoves
were overturned and broken. and the
marble refreshment counter, some thir-
ty feet long and previously one Of the
features Of the station, now strewed
the floor in particles, suggesting gravel.
1t was indeed an amazing sight, the
more amazing as no such work of de-
structon could have been accomplished
without extreme labor.

1.-The first German troops that came
here was the answer.
"'why did they do it? Was It be.
cause your men had cut the telegraph

"'Oh, no! They expected to find
something to drink in the refreshment
room, and when they discovered that
everything had been taken away they
set about breaking the fixtures"

ness man of proven merit as their
representative in the United States
senate.
Mr.. Booths plan of campaign is to
be commended. The greater part of
his life he has been tending to busi-
ness. He has not had the opportun-
ity of the professional politician in
mixing about and meeting the peo-
pie. He has been hammering away
at hard knots instead of building up
election machinery. He is not build
ing machines now. He is going about
the state to give the people an op-
portunity to see the candidate and
especially for the purpose of answer
ing questions regarding the develop
ment of the great business enter
prises of which he has stood at the
head. A better acquaintance of the
people with the candidate and his
record and a more thorough under
standing of those things for which
he stands are necessary alone to in
sure his election, and the course Mr..
Booth is taking. as he goes from
county to county, in reviewing the
history of the Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company, will before the campaign
closes offset the work of campaign
perverts and insure the election of a
business man as United States SEN
ator.

tions, unless otherwise provided in
the constitution. Vote yes or no.

The last Legislature referred this
proposed amendment to the people.
AS the law now stands, persons Of
foreign birth who have lived one year
in the United States and six months
in the state, who are q years of age
or over, and who have declared in
tention of becoming citizens of the
United States at least one year previ-
Gus to the election; are permitted to
vote. The amendment would require
all such persons to become full citi-
zens before they would be allowed to
vote. If amended as proposed the
constitution will read:
"In all elections not otherwise pro-
vided for by this constitution every
citizen of the United States. of the
age of 21 years and upwards, who
shall have resided in the state dur
| ing the six months preceding such
election. shall be entitled to vote"

amendment is submitted by joint
committee of the senate and house
of representatives composed of Sen
