Bartley and as II desire that the public may hare am intelligent understanding of the at tending circumstances, I will state Briefly the substance of the conditions ftyen which such action is based. t was actuated in granting a parole, limited to sixty days, because I had kftowiedge that after Mr. Bartley's retirement from office he maintained that if grveft. a year's time in which te realize oa his arrangements he would be able to pay the state every dolalr due it. The fact in a space of afecut fortv days after he surrendered I & nSi- tn hut nrnuanr a talld in over 1150,000, 20,000 of which was paid on the day of his arrest, strength ened both by his statements, repeated ly made to me, that he would pay back every dollar of his shortage, and my belief that if given an opportunity at this time he would undertake to carry out his promises, with the object in view of relieving the taxpayers and of removing tfrfc painful account from the pages of the records after four vears of exnensive litigation from which not one cent has been recovered from either the principal or bonds men. I granted the parole with the un derstanding on my part that he. Bart ley, was to proceed to reimburse the state and in addition was to render an accounting of the funds lost in banks from which he was unable to recover, which materially reduces the amount published by the newspapers as having been misappropriated- Hun dreds of people of various political affiliations had petitioned me to grant, not a parole, but a full and uncondi tional pardon, and among the peti tioners were many of our oldest and most respected citizens, but I was un able to justify in my own mind such an act and granted a parole for sixty days only, conditioned as above stat ed. I have given Mr. Bartley an oppor tunity to right the wrong and my ac tion as regards the extension of fur ther clemency in the premises shall be conditioned solely upon his compli- ance with m; requirements as herein set forth.

Suverkrop of Philadelphiav Mr. Suverkrop has for some years keer& making journeys to South and Central America, where he has search ed for rare orchids and other plants. je a7waT-nS orchid which has now heeft found by bi- is a plant which take3 a drink of water whenever it feels thirsty by letting down a tube into the stream beneath it. Ths tube. ""Then not in use, lies, colled up am. top 1 of the plant, One hot afternoon Mr. f Suverkrop sat down to rest beside a lagoca en the Rio de la Plata. Near by was a forest of dead, shorn trees which had actually been choked to death by orchids climbing cactus. In front of hiat aad stretching out over the warm waters of the still lagoon was a .braac at one of these dead trees. The branch was ahcut a foot above the surface of the water, and rioting upon its decaying wood were orchids and cacti, the plants which had caused its death. Here and there were clusters of the common p!anta del ayre," and twining all around it a network of green cacti- Among the orchids was one different from the rest, which immediately caught Mr. Suverop's attention. The leaves were cf the shape of a sharp lance head. They grew all around the root and radiated from it. From the center or axis of the plant hung a long, slender stem about one-eighth of an inch in j thickness and one-quarter of an inch wide. The lower end of this stem was ia the water to the depth of about four inches. It was unlike any orchid Mr. Suverkrop had ever seen or heard of, and he went nearer to examine his discovery. He touched the plant, when, to his surprise, the stem which frar been in the water gradually con tracted and rolled itself up in a coil on the top of the plant- It was a tube and as it rolled Itself up it deposited the water, which had been taken in by the part of the tube submerged, on to the roots of the plant. The discov erer now watched the plant, and found Tfrt when it was thirsty it let down its hose Into the water and dipped up the stream until its thirst was satis fied, when the tube remained coQed up like a hese until it was time for the orchid to take another drink. Gener ally the coiling process is slow, the plant drinking like a a gentleman and taking its time about taking its re freshment. But if the plant is touched the coiling process is accelerated. DESCRIBES A HASHEESH 9EH- Traveler la Cairo Vlatrs Retort Where the Drag- I Smokrtl. A German physician describes his visit to a den of hasheesh smokers in Cairo. Hia gd was a donkey boy, who could speak German. In a dark and dirty alley they came to a lighted doorway. Entering, they passed through a room filled with men play lug domincs to the smoking-room. "Here," says the explorer, "we were welcomed like old acquaintances. The room was hiled with smoke of pecu liar aromatic odor and the smokers were in a very happy mood- On the walls were Arabic inscriptions and pictures of European beauties. In one eomer was a stone bearing a mass of glowing coals- A man cut up some tobacco, another filled a clay pipe bowl with ir, a third bit off little pieces cf brown hasheesh paste and laid them down en the tobacco, a fourth added same slowing coals and attached th bowl to a narghileh or water pip which he then handed to his neigh- ' tor. The pipe passed from mouth to j mouth, eacn ttt taking a few whiffs and expelling tne smoke from nose and mouth.' The German physician declined the proffered pipe and or dered coffee. All the smokers talked and laughed incessantly. Mcst of them were young or middle-aged men. Suddenly an elderly "min rose to hii reet and stood staring at the Soar. with a vacuous smile. He was a hasheesh wreck, an imbecile. "He is a philosopher,' said one of the others. and a general l3zzh. followed. A Profaae Interraptloa. The late Father Petit was one of the best known priests in the Milwaukee diocese. It may well be said that he was a fine representative cf the pio neer priest.
