Garden Plants in History.

Which is the oldest flower in our
gardens? The question was raised
over our dahlia blooms, which like the
fuchsia, come originally from Mexico
The first plants to appear here were
grown at Holland house from seed sent
home by Lady Holland from Spain in
1879. In the previous year Sir Joseph
Ranks introduced the hydrangea. The
fuchsia had then been known among
us already for close on a century. A
further turning up of authorities dis
covered that the tulip (from the Le-
vant) was introduced about 1860, about
which time, by the way, the horse
chestnut reached us from Asia and
the lilac from Persia. Some forty
years before that had come the dam.
ask rose, simultaneously, among the
trees, with the larch. The oldest
claimant with recorded date seemed
to be the crocus. 1t arrived from the
far East in 1339.-London Chronicle.

NIGHTS BEAUTY is HIDDEN
Few Artists Have Been Given the
Ability to Depict Its Proper
Glory and Majesty.

One of the perpetual regrets OF
painters is the unattainable beauty of
night. Whistler's successful Noe.
turnes are of early twilight.
The later hour, when the world s
vast shadow weighs on us, seems un-
realizable in paint.
Even Crome, perhaps the greatest
master of nightfall pictures, could not
go beyond the twilight.
The perfect medium for darkness
was discovered by Turner, whose set
of engraved Moonlights are among the
most precious works that man has
made.
There are but about dozen en-
graveo and printed by the master
They so far transcend his colored
drawings, from which they were de-
rived, as to prove that black and
white can conjure up the spirit of
night more potently than color.
But they are not ordinary mezzo-
tints; they are creative rather than
reproductive; no one but Turner could
have done them, nor could he have
communicated their secret to his en-
gravers.

Expert Opinion.

The late Henry Beach Needham,
the flying expert who was killed with
Lieutenant Warneford in France, was

An inventor from Seattle submitted
a triplane model to the young expert
last spring. Mr.. Needham studied
the model attentively for an hour
Then he laughed and said:

Brain Amputation.

One of the wonders of surgical sci
ence has been performed in French
military hospital where wounded sol
dier has had sixth of his brain am
putated without missing it. The pa.
tient was carried in with penetrating
wound in the occipital region of the
Uranium. Splinters of bone had
caused an abscess to form in the left
cerebral hemisphere. These were re
moved by DR.. A. Guepin surgeon in
chief to the hospital, but a fresh
abscess formed, and Doctor Guepin
was obliged on two occasions to ampu
tate portions OF the brain which pro
truded from the wound. The patient
thus lost at least a third of the left
hemisphere, but shows no special
signs of trouble, either of motivity
sensibility, or ideation.

ERA OF THE SLANG PHRAS.
Common Speech of Modern Day Has
Become Curiosity, to Old
Fogies' Regret.

At this time the people call man a
guy" a woman skirt" and dog a
mutt" Other samples Of the speech
of the people are not essential. The
truth is that few can say anything in
the old-fashioned direct way, says the
New York Sun. All have become so
accustomed to the use of slang that
the common speech is no longer com,
mon; it is become a curiosity, rele'
gated to the obscure haunts of the
"highbrows' and treated with scorn by
the workers of the world. While this
undoubtedly gives much joy to Prof.
Brander Matthews. it saddens some
old fogjes, who mourn the departure
of earlier and more elegant ways OF
speaking, as they mourn the decadence
Of earlier and better manners. Per.
haps the two were unrelated, but they
were at least companions.
Is it not probable that if the young
ceased to call their elders "old guys
or "geezers," to refer to other peoples
mothers as Skirts" or rags" and gen.
orally began to lift their Technology
toward levels of decorum less f1gura.

improve their manners? At any rate
is there any overwhelming reason why
the youth of this time should be al
most unacquainted with the plain Eng

matter worthy of the consideration Of
those teachers and professors who
nay perhaps not agree with the Co

UGH! A DOSE OF

1t salivates! It makes you sick

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated

calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for SO cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and take spoonful
tonight. If it doesn't start your liver
and straighten you right up better
than calomel and without gripping or
making you sick want you to go back
to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-

Chance for Uuly Men.

There's all kinds of hope for the men
In the back row-those whose facial

A whole bunch of beauties in a Broad

is their opinion that the brain Of
pretty man could easily be carried in
the vest pocket of a mosquito. And
by way of an argument, one girl says:
Go right through the worlds history
and you will find that the really big
men-the men who have done things
were ugly. Women admire them be-
cause they are distinctive forces, be-
cause they are big and strong, both
mentally and physically; and it is
distinct feminine quality to love and
crave for that we lack. I'll wager
there are many women who have
secret admiration for this or that prize
fighter because Of his physical force,
and know lots of them who make no
bones about being crazy about this or
that football hero" So it's all settled.
And it will be worse than useless for
any pretty" men to entertain any
fond matrimonial hopes where this
beauty contingent is concerned.-New

1t must be remembered that Mexico
has had almost uninterrupted war of
one kind or another for a period long
er than the American Civil war.
While conscientious American army
officers have been puzzling over maps

strategy and tactics. the Mexican gen.

forces in the field and giving and re-
ceiving blows in the sama territory
where they now clash With Uncle

In addition. the Mexicak military
academy at Chapultepec. near Mexico

only overcome after nearly all had

Catch the fly" is the slogan of st.
Louis. The pesky things that carry
millions of germs at the end of their
fine fuzzylike toes. or whatever you
call 'em, are banned by the st. Louis
authorities, and price has been
placed on the heads of the flies just
as price is placed on the heads of
stray dogs.
While practically every city, town
and hamlet boasts of it's dog pound,
st. Louis has taken the initiative and
established fly pound. The fly traps
that are located In various parts of
the city proved the center of attrac-
ton to the Democratic delegates who
were In the Mound City to attend the
national Democratic convention. and
1t Is dollars to doughnuts. that when
they get back home they are going to
follow the example set by st. Louis
and set fly traps in their own home
towns. The trap Is a huge imitation
OF the ordinary fly traps one often
sees In butcher shops. At the bottom
there Is a conical opening. and under
this opening one places a piece of suet
or piece Of meat. The flies swarm
by the thousands around the bait and
ny up through the opening In the
cone. into the trap from which there
Is no escape. The st. Louis traps are
three-story affairs with plenty of
light and air for the flies that like the
free apartments into which they are
invited.
