Flowers of the Sea.

Like the land, the sea has its flowers,
but the most brilliant Of the marine
flowers bloom not upon plants, but
upon animals. The living corals OF
tropical seas present display Of floral
beauty that in richness and vividness
Of color and variety and grace of form
rivals the splendor Of garden Of flow
ers. The resemblance to blossoms is
so complete that some persons find 1t
difficult to believe that the brilliant
display contains no element Of plant
life, but is wholly animal in its organ
ization.
Among the sea animals that bloom
as If they were plants are included,
besides corals, the sea anemone and
the sea cucumber. It has been re-
marked that the birds and butterflies
Of the upper world are replaced by
fishes of curious forms and flashing
colors, which dart about among the
animal f]owers.-Pittsburgh Telegraph.

Prairies Of Iowa.

Citizens of Iowa are SO accustomed
to the prairie landscape that it seems
strange that the prairies should have
been source of wonder and surprise
to many OF the first settlers. Such
was the case. Judging from the follow
ing statement in book called Iowa
as it is in 1885," q copy of which is
preserved in the library of the State
Historical Society Of Iowa:
THE novelty of the prairie country
is striking, and never fails to cause
an exclamation of surprise from those
who have lived amid the forests OF
Ohio and Kentucky, or along the wood
cd shores of the Atlantic, or in sight
of the rocky barriers Of the ALE.
gheny ridge. The extent of the pros
pect is eXhlarating. The outline, of
the landscape is undulating and grace.
full. The verdure and the flowers are
beautiful; and the absence of shade
and consequent appearance of a pro-
fusion of light, produces a gaiety
which animates every beholder."

LADY Wake, who was born In 1900.

HEARING but Not Listening.

In the course of visit to Nagpur, the
capital of the central provinces, writes
Mr.. Stanley Coxbn in his Indian remi-
niscences, I heard Of an amusing end
ing to civil case. twas an appeal
case. and on one side was a Mr.. Stan.
yon, an English barrister. and on the
other a number, Of native pleaders.
The. arguments on both sides had been
heard, and the case closed for judg-
ment. r..... --
Suddenly one of the native pleaders
got up and addressed the. court once
more. Mr.. Stanyon suffered it for some
time; but, losing patience. he also stood
up and, addressing the court. said.
"Your honor, would beg with all re.
spect to point out to the court that my
learned friend opposite is entirely out
of order in addressing the court. and II
may be permitted to say so the court
has no right to be listening to him..
Tie court, who at that time was
writing, put his head over the desk
and said, "Mr. Stanyon. it's a great
piece of impertinence on your part to
assume that the court Is listening to
him" .

HOW THE CHINESE GIRLS LOVE

81 wonder if you were only twelve
or thirteen years old if You would love
to study so much that you would be
willing to go to school from seven
O'Clock in the morning till seven or
eight at night six days in the week,
and do your own cooking and washing ?
But there are over twenty girls in
these country schools who are doing
just that thing" writes Miss Dyer
"Oh, how they study. Most of them
make study their very serious hasis
ness. They appear at school soon
after daylight, and that comes very
early in May, June and July-and the
time spent at meals is very brief. Not
much before dark does the last little
straggler tear herself away from the
much loved school. One school had
been open but four months when | Wis

A Celebration Under Difficulties.

The fourth of July in the year 1851
found the people of Des Moines practi.
cally slut off from the rest Of the
world. Not only had the long contin-
ued rains of that spring raised the Des
Moines river oan alarming height
but the transportation of freight over
the muddy roads from the towns along
the Mississippi river was almost sus,
pended. AS result the pioneer citi.
zens of Des Moines were confronted
with n serious lack of supplies: and in
an effort to relieve the situati sew.
eral men made trip down the Des
MONIES river in canoes for the pur.
pose of inducing some steamboat own.
er to ascend the stream with a cargo
Of provisions.
Meanwhile, the fourth of July was
at hand" writes Rev. John A. Nash in
his autobiography published by the
State Historical Society OF iowa. 1--WE
were shut up within ourselves. Can.
non, we had none. Bands of music
were scarce. Spread eagle orators had
not yet arrived. Fire crackers had
not reached us on account of the flood.
A few shot guns, revolvers and two or
three anyils and a few dry preachers
were all the resources at hand with
which to make a noise and to cele-
brate." Nevertheless, true western re-
sOurcefulness was equal to the occa
sion and q rousing community picnic

pirate speeches and best of all, Il pic
mic dinner which was pronounced a
huge success in spite of the fact that
-four and many other important sup
plies were scarcely to be found in the
village.

FROM TENNYsoN's MAUD"
"Naked Hearts" at Germania Monday
Night, July 10th, Said to be a
Grand Production.

Zoe Bech, daintiest of child actress
es; Gordon Griffith and George Hupp
will have practically to themselves the
first act of 'Naket Hearts" to be ex'
hibited in beautiful Eluebird photo
plays at the Germania theater on Mon
day, July 10th. These children pre-
sent the childish episodes in the play,
founded on Tennyson's MAUD" which
are later played, as grown ups" by
Francelia Ellington, Rupert Julian and
Jack Holt later in the piece. Child
actresses and actors are always inter
esting, especially when they are en-,
dowed with the particular cleverness
that these three little folks possess.
There will be particular charm in their
representations, as they are represent
ed at an age when chivalry was prac-
ticed as a science and these little ones
in their converse and actions, are pic.
tured as initiating their elders in high
ly entertaining fashion.
