Not Entirely New.

An item going the rounds to the
effect that q yellow rambler rose has
been discovered by an explorer. in
China, and that its seed will shortly be
introduced into the United States,
where the species is now unknown,
has aroused, it would seem, the indig-
nation of half the gardeners in the lat
ter country. The item says, among
other things, "Those who take delight
in the crimson rambler will be glad to
welcome the new flower to this coun-
try If one will look over the seed
and plant catalogues received this
spring it will be discovered that they
contain very pretty pictures of yell
low rambler rose that has long been
an early summer bloomer over wide
area of the United States.

American cities. Growth.

Nobody knows how fast an Ameri-
can city, state or town may grow. l
recall some twenty-five years ago
meeting a friend in Denver. He was
an investor from the East. I think
Denver had about 10000 people then.
He had come to buy real estate. He
said to me, 'Thls place Is overgrown.
Real estate is too high. None for
me-" And he went away. Had he
invested wisely at that time he could
have multiplied his money ten or
twenty fold. was in Los Angeles

BERLIN OF THE EIGHTIES
Some Pleasant RecosIections Of Der
Alte Kaiser and His Son
and Grandson.

At that time Berlin was much less
than half its present size. The popu-
lation was probably 100000, and as
there were some 10000 soldiers sta
toned in and about Berlin, one who
had never seen military officer in
his life, except in a parade OF the
militia on Decoration day, met these
gayly uniformed gentlemen at every
turn, in the streets, in the cafes, and
in all places of public resort, with no
little surprise. This experience of it,
self induced reflection. What were all
these officers and soldiers doing?
Why were they withdrawn from pro-
ductive industry? Why were they so
quickly deferred to by the civilian
population? Such questions as these
the young American asked, and he re-
ceived replies that revealed to him,
again for the first time, q different
view of the state and of government
to any that he had come in contact
with at home.
New and interesting experiences
awaited him at every turn, writes
President Nicholas Butler of Column
bia in Scribner's. Emperor William
I, der alte kaiser, as he was affec-
tionately called by the pOpulace, was
to be seen every morning in the win
dow of his working room at the pal
ace, at the corner of what was then
called the Opera Platz. 1t was the
custom of his majesty to return by a
gracious gesture every greeting from
one who might pass his window, and
to rise in his place and formally salute
whenever a body of troops, however
small, passed by. The crown prince,
who was, after nearly decade, tc
come to the throne for few short
weeks as Emperor Friedrich III, was
the very ideal of manly dignity and
beauty, and seemed to incarnate in his
own person the attributes and tradi-
tons of royalty. His eldest son, now
and for more than quarter of a CEN
fury past the German emperor, was
an officer of the garrison. He was
frequently seen driving or riding about
the city, and came into familiar con-
verse with considerable group of
young men, among whom occasionally
an American student was Included
The daily sight of royalty and of the
imperial trappings and ceremonies
gave to the institution a reality that
it had never before had in the Amer
leans mind.

Safe Anesthesia.

Now that surgeons are in the habit
of removing the tonsils entirely, the
methods of anesthesia in vogue when
they were merely clipped have be-
come inadequate. For the operation
takes time, and the gas and oxygen
anesthesia does not last long enough
to permit of complete dissection OF
both tonsils.
DR.. j. Bloomfield, senior anesthetist
of st. Georges hospital, London,
writes in the Lancet that he has
found the best general method, both
for children and adults, consists in
giving preliminary dose of atropine,
gradually producing u deep degree of
Inconsistencies by mixture of
chloroform and ether, supplemented in
some cases by few minutes of open
ether. This generally suffices, he says,
and when it does not, he reapplies
chloroform from a junker's inhaler OF
an open mask.

Historical Mystery.

Persons who have seen the $40 ma.
tional coin certificate say 1t bears the
likeness of one Michael Hillegas. That,
at least, is the name legibly written
under the portrait. Is anybody in the
history class prepared to raise his
hand and explain who Michael Hille-
gas was and how his portrait comes to
adorn our larger pieces of money?
Biographical dictionaries and ency-
clopedias know him not. But wait
the coin certificate also says he was
the first treasurer of the United States.
With this clue the scholarly Boston
Transcript has looked him up and finds
he was a wealthy sugar refner who
helped finance the Revolution. That
information somewhat changes the
form of the inquiry. VIII any men,
Der of the history class now raise his
hand and explain why Mr.. Hillegas,

WHO'LL GET THE MONEY?

The manufacture of lumber is an
important industry in the state of
state of Washington and the woods
men used periodically to go into the
towns and spend their wages in the
saloons. Shortly before the prohibit
tion law became operative police
captain inquired of one Of these men
what he would do with his money on
his next visit. I'll tell you what am
going to do" said the logger. Next
time come to town am going to buy
new suit of clothes, some boots,
mackinaw and some new blankets"
The captain says that this answer is
typical of the answers Of many other
loggers who might be questioned.

FOLLY OF NATIONS.

In nm address at London university
before the Child Study association on
Serving the Future" DIR. G. w.
Saleeby, an eminent English scientist,
stated that he had it on the highest
authority that the increase In infant
mortality since the war began was al
most entirely due to the fact that
mothers had been drinking more alco-

much of the finest food is being de-

to bring to these shores the material
for making poison that our mothers
may buy at the corner of the street"

DRINK AND DIVORCE.

"The story of the divorce court
reeks with whisky and brutality" says
Jack Lait, who writes for Chicago
Herald. He has lately been dropping
into the courtroom of Judge Kersten,
the busiest jurist in Christendom, and
watching and listening" He has
found that '"the fist is the symbol OF
divorce and the bottle It's inspiration"
Liquor is responsible for more than
ten out of twenty cases. "Those are
the tales" he says, that do not get
display heads in news columns. They
are not important, they are not pic
turesque." Judge Kersren has spent
30 years "adjudicating criminal mat
tiers, from murder to splitting on the

the sorriest, the saddest, are the di-
