The White Narcissus. “If I could only live among beautiful things as you do, I believe 1 could be good!” exclaimed a tired farmer's daughter to a city friend, whose two rooms were filled with photographs and books. The friend could but make the well-worn explanation that the sky outside the kitchen window is ac tually more beautiful than the photo graph of Corot's vision of a sky, and that the fields, green or white, and the flowers and birds are more truly poet ry than the verses of Wordsworth or Keats. Beneath the cry of the soul hungry for beautiful things is the de sire for real ownership, says Youth's Companion. The cloud may be seen by a thousand eyes, but it escapes the hand which would hold it. Meadow and stream in the picture bring their message of beauty with deepened em phasis. all the year round, because they are fairly captured by the artist. Our civilization has yet to learn from the reflective east that the luxury of beauty is a necessity for human life. Without it the spirit starves, and suf fers front restlessness and irritation and inefficiency, as one suffers from in sufficient physical nourishment. Mo hammed put into words a great sym bolic truth when he said to his dis ciples, “If any ntan have two loaves, let him sell one and buy some flowers of the white narcissus; for the one is food for the body and the other is food for the soul." Cheering Reading. Records of averted disasters do not get the attention that is given to dis asters unaverted, but they make more cheerful reading and lift one’s faith in human nature. The other day a Long Island Sound steamer caught fire, and. there might have been another horror like the burning of the General Slo cum. But there was no loss of life, no panic. The pilots kept the steamer steady, the captain fought the fire in orderly manner, summoned help, and transferred 600 passengers to another steamer. At a children's entertain ment In a New York church gauzy draperies took fire, flames shot to the ceiling and burning bits fell on the children. The audience sprang up, but the little king of the play justified his regal part. He cried. "What arc you all scared about? It's just a iittle fire." Meanwhile a boy at the organ was playing "Onward Christian Soldiers.” During the flurry he did not miss a note. Two men stamped the fire out. Others opened the doors and started to marshal the women and children. Most of the people kept their places, and there was no panic. The recent burning of the town hall and other buildings in Guayaquil, Ecua dor, with a view to check the progress of the bubonic plague, suggests that many a structure in another place in vites annihilation for similar pur poses. There are "tuberculosis blocks” in New York city, tenements so satu rated with the disease that an occu pant is almost certain to be stricken. In Paris the municipal council has just discovered that several hundred dwel lings in the working-class districts are dangerous for the same reason. There are notorious “cancer houses" in Lin colnshire, England; there is at least one “plague tenement" in Bombay, In dia; and it is recorded that Amber, th« ancient capital of the Indian state of Jaipur, had to be dispeopled and de serted because it was so completely in fected with leprosy. To all such dwellings of death the Guayaquil treat ment should be applied. Any munici pality could better afford to pay the cost of replacing a disease-ridden building than to let it stand and take a perpetual toll of lives. Under the law, immigrants who are admitted are on probation for three years. If in that time they become public charges, commit misdemeanors, or profess anarchy, they may be de ported. The department of commerce and labor intends to make practical application of this law, with the help of the police, to anarchists and others who pass the entrance examinations and later turn out badly. Lord Croifier’s book on Egypt, which has recently been published, is a great, work, like Grant's “Memoirs” and Caesar's “Gallic War.” When men of action tell in simple language what they have done, they enliven history and give sinews to literature. Lord Cromer's work has won him the nick name, “The Great Prose Consul.” Two young British lords are to be sent to school at an American univer sity. Perhaps prudent British peers are thinking it wise to send their sons to grow up with the country and catch the heiresses before other scions of nobility have a chance to see the heir esses first. The greatest heat is never found on the equator, but some ten degrees to the north, while more severe cold has been registered in northern Siberia than has been found near the Pole. On a wager of five dollars^a cadet of a military school in Illinois ate a hop toad alive. Are the higher educational institutions going back in a circle to the days of the worst kind of sav agery? asks the Baltimore American, indignantly.

Purdy, assistant to the attorney general, has been nominated by the president for United States judge at Minneapolis, and it re mains to be seen whether the local political influ ence that has been so hostile to him in the past will be able to defeat him now. It was strong enough to prevent his being appointed district at torney for a full term, after he had served the un expired term of his dead chief, but his abilities were not forgotten at the White House. When congress passed an act providing for an assistant to the attorney-general at $7,000 a year, in addi tion to the seven assistants at $5,000, Purdy was appointed to the office. It is somewhat remarkable that a man who has made so brilliant a record as a lawyer should have been an indolent, unambitious pupil at school. His father was a potter; he learned the trade himself. He had no ambition to be anything else and would ha\e remained a potter all his life but for his mother, who insisted on his going through the high school and then to the University of Minnesota. When be finished his course he was glad to take a position at $24 a month, although his board cost him $5 a week. For a year he was perfectly miserable and often wondered if it was worth while keeping up the struggle. He was forced to walk to save car fare and had to deny himself every enjoyment. Then came the happiest moment of his life. He was appointed assistant city attorney of Minneapolis at the magnificent salary of $25 a week, lie felt that he was indeed wealthy now. and as soon as he could save enough for his wedding clothes he v-as married. Then he was appointed assistant United States district attorney and succeeded liis chief on the latter's death. His first IP cases constituted an unbroken list of successes, and lie is al leged to have saved the government over $10,000.00. Among other things he brought the Minnesota timber thieves to book and helped ‘ bust'’ the Northern Securities merger to the great delight of the president. Since he has been assistant to the attorney-genera! he has been making war upon the Standard Oil. the fertilizer, 'he drug, the tobacco and other trusts and has done valuable work for the government. r* CHIP OF THE OLD BLOCK -1 Charles G. Gates has been “bucking the tiger" in a Rawhide gambling house and come out a winner to the tune of $20,000. Gambling is to Charles as the breath of his nostrils; without it life would be unendurable, if not impossible. He came by the instinct honestly, for his father, John \V. Gates, is looked upon as the most invet erate gambler in New York, it matters nothing to hint whether he risks his money on stocks or at the race track; on cotton or on corn: at poker or at faro. If there is any gambling game he has not tried. Wall street men do not know what it is. Although Charles is only 33, he has seen more of the ups and downs of life than most men of twice his age. He left college to become a clerk for the Consolidated Steel & Wire Co., of Chicago, was at (his time engaged in many deals, of his own and he made enough money by them to buy a partnership in a stock-brokerage firm. At 24 he felt that he had earned a rest, so he gave up business and went traveling for three years On his return he went into his father's brokerage firm in New York. One day he calmly called a meeting of the partners to tell them how they could make | two millions in six months. He proposed a corner of the corn market, and these men who had been studying the market for more years than voting Gates had lived, went in with him. They ran the price of corn from 65 cents up to 81, and then the crash came. It was whispered that the Gates family intended to leave the others stranded on the top of a rapidly falling market, and tlie partners took fright and pulled out. The Gates combination does not seem to have iost much, for they were immediately afterward active in other deals. Everything they touched seemed to turn to money until they were caught in the slump of a year ago. Their partners, unable to trust them, got from under and the t anks called in their Joans.- Charles and his father are said to hav< dropped >40,000,000 at this time. The firm was dissolved and the scat on the exchange sold. Gates and his fa ther proposed to spend a few years in France recuperating, but within a few months they were hack in the game again. Charles is now in Kawliide en gaged in mining deals. BLOW TO BRITISH LIBERALS -- The worst blow to the British liberals since they have been in power was delivered in the bye election heie, when Winston Churchill, president of the board of trade in the new Asquith cabinet, was defeated for parliament by 42!> votes. \V. Joynson Hicks, unionist, won, getting 5,417 votes to Churchill’s ’4,flSS. Churchill defeated Hicks for the seat two years ago, but under English custom had to stand for. re-election when advanced to cabinet rank. The vote was the heaviest cast in years. Several elements figured in the defeat of Church ill, one of the principal ones being the energetic opposition of suffragettes. English Catholic priests also opposed Churchill, Premier Asquith failed to send the usual letter to a candidate standing be i ou.auLciuciu, auu expuunuing to me voters the necessity of strengthening the government. Churchill, although but 33 years old, is noted as a war correspondent, sol dier, orator and parliamentarian. As under secretary for the colonies, he re ceived the brunt of the criticism of the Natal muddle, wherein the interference of the London office very nearly brought on an open rupture. He is the son of the late Right Hon. Lord Randolph Churchill. His mother was a New York girl, the daughter of Leonard Jerome, famous for his wealth and his horses. He won praise during the Boer war by his gallant defense of an armored train at Cheneley. He was made a prisoner of war during the ac tion, but escaped. He was then but 25 and had gone to the scene of conflict as a war correspondent. As a writer he has distinguished himself, one of his best works being a description of the sea. He also served in the Spanish army in Cuba in 1895, took part in the later wars in India and won a medal lor bravery with Kitchener at the battle of Omdurman. BOOMING CAUSE OF HUGHES Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, president of the Hughes league, is busy booming the cause of the New York governor for the Republican presi dential nomination. If Hughes fails the general would like to see the choice fall upon l ncle Joe Cannon who, ho says, has prevented more bad or useless legisla tion from going through than any man in the country. Moreover, he and Uncle Joe entered con gress the same year and are exactly the same age, which probably helped to make them the stancli friends they have always been. Gen. Woodford was horn in New York 72 years ago, and was practicing law there more than half a century ago. He was messenger for the famous electoral college of 1S60. and was aft ward United States attorney for the southern dis trict, which position he threw it]) to enter the army. At the close of the war he was brevet brigadier-general of volunteers. He was lieutenant-governor of New York in 186fi, but was defeated for governor at the following election. He was president of the electoral college in 1872 and a congressman the following year. He has filled some important positions, having been a member of the commission to draft the charter for Greater New York and president of the Hudson Fulton commission. He was United States minister to Spain in 1897, and when the war broke out the following year he returned to the United States and retired into private life, only to emerge once more to boom the candidacy of Gov. Hughes. American Woman in High Place. Among the American women who exert a potent influence in old world affairs is the countess of Edla, the morganatic widow of King Ferdinand, a great uncle of the present king of Portugal. The countess is a former Boston woman, her name before mar riage having been Elsie Hensler. Many years ago she was a successful opera singer, and her voice and beauty, when she sang in Portugal, captured the king's heart. It was a very happy marriage, and the king was greatly devoted to his wife to the day of his death. Although she never occupied the throne with her husband, the countess was regarded by him and by all his subjects as a queen. Her ad vice was often sought by the sovereign and Portuguese statesmen upon mat ters of public moment. For her wis dom and her benevolence she is still held in reverence by all the Portu guese, and she is said to be giving good counsel to the inexperienced young king. The countess has a fine palace near Lisbon and an attractive country home in Cintra, her wedding gift from Ferdinand. HYDROCYANIC-ACID GAS FOR FUMIGATING PLANTS i\n Insecticide Which Has Proved Itself of Great Value — By Albert F. Woods, Asst. Chief Bureau of Plant Industry. Hydrocyanic-acid gas, since its in troduction by the bureau of entomol ogy in 18S6 as a remedy against scale Insects of tile orange, has proved of great value as an insecticide. Pre vious to our experiments early in 1895, though it had been occasionally tried in greenhouses, hydrocyanic acid was not recommended, on account of its Injurious effects upon plants. As a result of a series of careful experi ments we found that as a rule plants were less injured by a short exposure to a relatively large amount of gas than they were by a long exposure to a relatively small amount. On the other hand, a strong dose for a short time was the most, effective in killing insects. Different species and varie ties of plants, iiowever, were found to vary remarkably in their power of withstanding the poison. This in many cases appeared to depend upon A C E by 2; 1,050 multiplied by 2 ! equals 2,100 cubic fee-. The contents j of this house is therefore 145.83 plus j 2.400 plus 2,100. equals 4,645.83 cubic | feet: this result multiplied by the re- j quired dose per cubic foot of space j will give the amount of cyanide of j potassium necessary for one fumiga- : tion. Fig. 2 shows at the right a cross j section of a three-quarter span house 100 feet long, 18 feet wide, front wall 4 feet 4 inches, back wall 6 feet 4 inches, and 11 feet 10 inches to the ridge. The cubic contents of this house is determined in the same man ner, except that the two triangles be ing unequal, each one will have to be calculated separately. After the number of cubic feet in the space to be fumigated is deter mined, the amount of cyanide re- j quired is found by multiplying the j Fig. 1.—Fumigating Box, Showing Trays and Coleus Cuttings. the open or closed condition of the breathing pores as well as upon peculi arities of the cell contents. Fumiga tion an hour or two after sundown, with the temperature as low as prac ticable, was found to give the best results. In all cases the foliage must be perfectly dry or it may be injured by the gas. In each case the proper amount of gas to use and the length of exposure must be determined by experiment. It is impossible at pres ent to give a general rule applicable to all plants in all stages of develop ment. It is necessary in every case to de termine with great care the cubic contents of the house, frame, or box in which the fumigation is to be made. To illustrate: Fig. 2 shows cross sec tions of two styles of greenhouse structures now in general use. At the left is an even span house 100 feet long. 12 feet wide, 2 feet on the sides, and 5 feet 6 inches from the surface of the beds to the ridge, with a walk 14 inches wide and 15 inches cubic* contents by the dose per cubic foot. For example, if single violets are to befumigated the dose would 1 be one-tenth of a gram per cubic loot. A dose, therefore, for the even-span house, containing 4.046 cubic feet, would be 4,646 multiplied by .1 equals 464.6 grams. To reduce this to ounces, divide the number of grams by 28.35 (the number of grams in an ounce avoirdupois). 464.6 divided by 28.35 equals 16.38 ounces avoirdupois. It may be necessary to reduce the fraction of ounces to grains: 437.5 (the number of grains in an ounce) multiplied by .38 equals 166 grains. Fumigating Boxes.—For the pur pose of experimenting and where only a few hundred plants are to be treat ed. a tight box may be made of 30 to 50 cubic feet capacity. The box should be as nearly air-tight as possible, with a removable cover and a small door at the bottom for introducing the cyanide of potassium into the bowl containing water and sulphuric acid, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2.—End Section of Even Span House at Left, Same of Three-Quarter Span House at Right. deep. To determine accurately the number of cubic feet in this or a house of similar construction: First, make a rough drawing showing a cross sec tion of the house; second, divide the space into triangles and rectangles by drawing a line connecting the two wall plates and one from the ridge at right angles to this; mark on each its- respective length in feet and inches. Compute the number of cubic feet in each of the rectangles and tri angles in accordance with the follow ing method. In the even span house The wire trays shown in the same illustration are used in fumigating cuttings of coleus or other plants. When desired the trays can be re moved and pot plants set in the box and given such fumigation as desired. To prevent injury to the plants they should be so set that the foliage does not come within IS inches of the bowl near the small door. Condensed Directions.—1. Carefully determined the cubic contents of the house and the amount of cyanide of potassium to use. Fig. 3.—Violet House Prepared for Fumigation. shown at the left the number of cubic feet of space in the walk is found by I multiplying the width by the depth by j the length, thus: Multiply 1 foot 2 Inches by 1 foot 3 inches by 100 feet; reducing to inches we have 14 inches multiplied by 15 inches by 1,200 inches equals 252,000 cubic inches; dividing this result by 1,728, the number of cubic inches contained in a cubic foot, we have 145.83 cubic feet. The rectangle A D (4 F is computed in the same way, except that in this case it is not necessary to reduce the feet to Inches. It would be 12 feet multi plied by 2 feet by 100 feet equals 2,400 cubic feet. This brings us to the triangles. The rule generally given for calculating the area of a right-angle triangle is to multiply the base by the perpendicular and divide the product by 2. The result multi plied by the length of the house will give the number of cubic feet the tri angular portion contains. For ex ample, taking the triangle A C E; 6 feet multiplied by 3 feet G inches, equals 21 feet, divided by 2 equals 10.5 feet, multiplied by 100 feet equals 1,050 cubic feet. The area of the tri angle E C D and the cubic feet in this part of the house are determined in the same way; or, in this case, since the triangles are equal, the desired re sult is obtained by multiplying the number of cubic feet in the triangle 3. Make the house as tight as pos- i sible. 3. Arrange so that the ventilators 1 :an be opened from the outside. 4. Place the jars and strings in po- ; sition. 5. After dusk attach the bags con taining the cyanide to strings, as Jescribed, and find if they work cor rectly. C. Hang the bags to one side and rat water and acid into the jars; a ange protection and put the bags ir dace again. 7. When all is ready lower the bags nto the jars by loosening the strings rom outside. S. After the proper exposure open lie ven-.ilators from outside, leaving hem open from 30 to 45 minutes be 'ore entering the house. 9. Next morning bury contents of ;he jars. 10. The foliage must be perfectly I iry. Caution.—It should be remembered hat hydrocyanic-acid gas is one of :he deadliest poisons known, fatal to luman beings and plants, as well as to nsects. Greenhouses which are within 50 to i3 feet of dwellings should not be ’umigated unless the windows and loors of the latter on the side next to he greenhouse can be closed during :he operation. * This woman says that sick women should not fail to try Lydia JE.

Really Able Argument Put Forward by Accused Sailor. A very good story has recently been told in the fleet of an incident which happened when Admiral Evans was in command of the Indiana. An old-time bluejacket was at the mast before Capt. Evans, charged with getting food out of a mess chest outside of meal hours. This getting of food for night watches is a common and strong desire on the part of most men aboard ship. Capt. Evans asked the man what he had to say; and the man. sizing up the delicate situation, said: "Captain, 1 didn't take no food outer that chest. Why. captain, there weren't no food in that chest! I looked in that chest, and. captain, I met a cockroach coming out of that chest with tears in his eyes."—Har per’s Weekly. A New Definition.
