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

The greatest heat is never found on
the equator, but some ten degrees to

"TRUST BUSTER” FOR BENCH i
Milton D. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

4. Place the jars and strings in po- ;

C. Hang the bags to one side and

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
