"Prettier than all ouldoora" was the
fipreaslon recently used by a lover of na
ture la speaking of the greenhouses of
llanacom paik. And during the last winter
they bare been "prettier than all out
doors," especially to the lovers of green
grass, flowers sweet perfume, for every
thing that pleased the visitors to the parka
during the summer, even Including the
guinea pigs and Walker, the talkative par
rot, whose headquarters were at Rlvervlew
park last summer, are all there.
In one greenhouse 3.000 geraniums of
many varieties, a majority of which are
In bloom, make a moat pleasing sight. That
Is the number which Florist Ellsworth es
timates be has on band and will soon put
out In the park. These plant are raised
from slips taken from the old plants In
tha early fall. They are placed In the
sand beds until roota are struck, when they
are transplanted to the pots. Many of the
geranluma do not bloom, being raised en'
tlrely for their beautifully colored leaves.
llansoorn park greenhouse contain twenty
varieties of the geranium.
Beaatlfnl Foliage Dante.
The canna, with which the greenhouses
abound, are grown from the bulb. The
bulbs are allowed to remain In the ground
until after frost, the canna sometimes
blooming after that time. The bulbs are
dug up and dumped in the' corner of the
greenhouse until they begin to sprout up
and are then put In the pots.
Of the alternanthera, or colored leaves
five varieties are represented. These are
struck in the fall and held over and used
In making border plants and designs. The
greenhouse are also profuse In begonias,
which are among the few flowers in the
houses raised from the seed. Among the
plants that attract especial attention of the
visitors Is the acacia, which, to the un
initiated, looks like an ordinary thorn tree,
but which the florist says Is not.
To Secure I'nlformlty.
A great amount of work which the florist
does that an ordinary man would not do
because he could not se the thusness la
planting lobelias, alyseums and the like as
thick as they can be sown. Most anyone
would save all. .the trouble by sowing 'the
seeds. The florist says his reason for going
to all the trouble of cutting and planting the
slip Is because he cannot get all the plants
alike from the seed and uniformity Is what
he U after.
The hardy shrubs tn the park are taken
up late In the fall and allowed to remain
in a dormant state until late in the winter,
when they are forced and young shoots are
propagated.
The peanesctum, which looks something
like foxtail grass, but which Isn't, so much
admired last summer, will be grown In a
much larger quantity this year. The florist
baa several large boxes full of tt, which he
Is carefully tending. Among the park em
ployea the grass is known as " 'pendlcltls."
Visitor "Swipe" Pot.
In the house wherein are kept small
potted flowers and plants visitors have
caused the florists much annoyance by car
rylng off the pots. So many have been taken
that now the florist, as he take a visitor
through, with one eye watches the flowers
and with the other keeps the visitor cov
ered. Even when all precaution Is taken,
however, many succeed In getting flowers.
During the last winter the curiosity given
to the park by O. W. Llnlnger has been al
most ruined. The structure is about four
feet high and three feet through. It is
made of coral and on the Inside and around
It are made houses, steps and strange
figures and inscriptions. In it was a foun
tain, which before most of the outside bad
beon carried away furnished water for
a tiny man to pour from a pot into a cup.
Winding stairs go through the structure
and hundreds of other fixtures are, attached
to it that seem impossible of making.
Bananas and Or an area.
Just as crowded and Just aa pretty, if hot
more so, is the palm garden. One house la
full of palms, Including the various va
rieties, and one can easily be transposed
from the frigid to the tropical zone by
stepping through the door that leads to this
beautiful room. Besides the various palms
there are the orange blossoms In full bloom,
though almost all gone now, and In their
place little green orangea with long stems
ticking out at the top that look like Any
thing but oranges. Beside It Is a banana
plant with a bunch of green bananas that
will do to eat during the latter part of June,

From an
Letters received by Omaha friends from
Rev. P. F. McCarthy of this city, who Is
touring Europe, contain descriptions of
scenes and Incidents written with charac
teristic brevity and plcturesqueness. In
a letter from Milan, February 2, Father
McCarthy wrltea:
There Is one prejudice no American
should carry away with him from Italy-
that the Italians are a laiy people. They
are as smart as a steel trap and would
not only tan the hide of a flea, but bottle
the odor thereof and sell the same for $5 a
smell. The wonder In my capacloue mind
is why they are. not the richest people
on earth. Their country Is a paradise
even In the month of February. There
are no people, on earth their equals la the
production of works of art. At every
corner of Naples there ts a church. It
looks ordinary on the outside, but within It
Is a gem. The Italians we meet with In
America are not a Just or adequate repre
sentation of Italy. It would amaie yeu
to see the display of wealth and beauty
on the principal streets of Naples and
Rome.
Of all the rascals on earth, under the
sea, or in any other old place, the cabmen
of Naples take the bun. With some
trouble I made a laughing rascal under
stand that I desired to be driven to the
The Festive Pass
Auguste Faure, In his book, "Passes, or
the Beauties of Transportation," examines
critically and somewhat humorously the
practical workings of the great American
institution commonly known as the rail
road pass. All persons do not subscribe to
this encomium. Only those who achieve the
pass and use It applaud Its charms and
valiantly urge Its perpetuity. But there
are others, several millions, who never
reach the distinction of a pa, and, conse
quently, look upon the institution with
marked disfavor. Mr. Faure speaks slight
ingly of tt and points out the desire for it
and the abuses which the pass system en
genders. A few excerpts follow:
I once had a long discussion with a con
gressman who wanted me to get him some
passes. I said to htm: "Don't you know
that it is against the law of the land to give
passes?" That did not seem to worry him
much, and I added: "Not only Is tt against
the law of the land, but, in my humble
opinion, to give passes to members of con
gress is against the law of God."
He said: "Oh, well, you know, God has
nothing to do with congress, anyway."
"But," said I, "giving a pass to a con
gressman and none to his constituents ta
a clear cose of discrimination; and if there
Is one thing more galling than another to
the average mortal it Is to be discriminated
against. As we look through history we
find that unjust discrimination has always
been the primary cause of all great revolu
tions." He said: "I guess you are right about
that, but let me tell you that members of
congress are themselves the very first
victims of discrimination at the hands of
the railroads. If ever there was a set of
men discriminated against In the matter
of passes it Is certainly the members of
the house and of the senate; and if they
should start a first-class revolution one of
these days I would not be surprised at alt.
I know it for a fact that no two of them
are treated exactly alike tn regard to
passes. One is given a pass good tor
himself, his wife and his whole family,
while another Is given a pass good for him
self alone, as it he was not expected to
have any wife or any family.
'One receives more annual passes than
he can ever expect to make use of. An
other does not begin to get the half of
those he asks for, and he Is actually com
pelled to humiliate hlmBelf before the pass
clerk by asking for an occasional trip pass,
like any ordinary beggar."
Then he proceeded to relate to me wnat
he claimed had been his own Individual
experience. He said: "I wroto a letter to
the president of a big railroad, asking him
to send a trip pass for myseir ana my wue.
And some clerk In his office had the cheek
to answer me that, under the rules of his
company, they could not Issue passes to
ladles. But tho young man condescended to
add that they would be very glad to give
me one for myself alone.
"Well." said he, "what could I doT I
took the nass for myself, and then I went
and bought a ticket for my wife. And when
we got on the train I met a brother con
gressman who pulled out a pass good for
himself, his wife, his two daughters and a
servant. Oh! I was mad enough myself, but
that was nothing compared to my wife. She
aid she only wished that president was on
vine are not compelled to commit matri
mony, however. Mr. Ellsworth has ten va
rieties of the palm family and all are big
and healthy, looking as natural as they did
last summer when put tn the -park. They
have grown very little under their careful
treatment in tha greenhouse ana win oe
easily recognized when they are reset In
the park, all except one. a variety of the
Cyeus, which at its top had a large flower,
yellow in color, and among the leaves of
the flower are many red berries the size of
a hickory nut. The fruit on this plant ts
very uncertain, usually missing every other
year tor sure and often not blooming for
three years.
Plants with Fruit.
One of the very beautiful of these plants
ts a yucca covered with white, bell-shaped
blossoms. It will not bloom sgain for two
years. A peculiar plant is the monster a
dellclosa. The fruit upon tt Is shaped like
a banana, though it has the appearance of
having had the smallpox In a large form.
Mr. Ellsworth is authority for the state
ment that the fruit is the finest thing tn
the world to eat, but that after becoming
rip it will not keep twenty-four hours
upon the stalk. Tho screw pine Is another
peculiar plant. Its stalk attains a growth
of about an Inch tn diameter and ceases to
grow at th base, while above the base It
grow on forever. When the top begins to
get heavy four supports grow out and brace
tha slender stalk.
To add to the beauty of tho palm garden
a small lake has been dug tn the north end
of the hous and in tt fishes and water
lilies thrive and grow, vising with each
other for publio favor.
Besides the tore houses full of plants
and flowers the park has a "cold storage"
house full of hardy plants and shrubs which
will be set out during April. Many of the
plant In th greenhouses belong to th
fire department and th schools and as soon
aa posalbl these will b turned over to
their owners. During April many of th
hardy plants will be returned to the park
and ahortly after the real work ot reacting
the flowers wilt begin. And this la no
small undertaking, for in tb greenhouses
ther ar fully 37,000 plants and flowers
that will hav to b rmovd and reset,

I was too fat to make the ascent of

four miles, and also Its distance from
the water, which Is considerable, although
I do not know the exact distance. The
mountain was smoking most copiously. I

Monte Casino, the cradle of modern civili
sation, the home of St. Benedict, 1,400
years old, an Institution in the books of
which Oladstons wrote, "Floreat et
Crescat." I arrived to Rome after dark
and landed at the Hotel Mllano, Just be
hind Caesar's column. The next morn
ing, Sunday, I heard mass In the church
of St. Mary in Via, and was pleased to
see a large number of men present,
amongst whom were several Italian of
ficers. After mass I visited the English
church, St. Sylvester, and received a lec
ture from the superior on my unclerical ap
pearance. I admitted my barbarian tout
ensemble, but puzzled the gentleman by
the train, so that she could give him a
piece of her mind. .
"Well," said I, "what did you dot"
"Oh," he said, "I got even with him!"
"How?"
"When I reached home I sat down and I
wrote a long letter to a mutual friend,
giving him all the particulars of the case,
and I know that he sent my letter to the
president of the railroad, so that the latter
knows exactly what I think of him."
"Well," said I, "you remind me of that
sice young man who went to pay a visit to
his best girl, and found her enjoying the
society of another nice young man. He
was very mad. He left the house furious.
He met a mutual friend on the street and
told him his trouble. The friend said:
'What did you do?' He said: 'I showed
them by the way I shut the door that I
didn't like It!' "
In the course of a conversation with a
prominent railroad man from the west he
Informed me that three-fourths of the cor
respondence In his office was about passes.
And he made the remark then that tt would
be a good thing If all the letters written by
members of congress, and public men gen
erally, about passes, could be collected In
book form and published to the world. He
thought they would make mighty Interest
ing reading for the American people.
I, being a timid man by nature, was hor
rified at his proposition. I said: "But, ray
dear eir. If you were to publish the letters
of those gentlemen, you might make them
blush like Uttlo girls."
He answered: "If they did not blush, I
believe the whole country would blush for
them."
A young colored man wanted me to give
him a pass between Baltimore and Wash
ington time pass, too. I asked him if he
knew of any good good reason why the
railroad should give him a pass. He said:
"Well, boss, I sun courting a young colored
lady down In Washington, an' it am
powerful 'spenslve to go back and forth all
the time."
That African never thought of the ex
pense of running the trains.
One day I met a man with whom I had a
slight acquaintance. He had Just been
elected to the city council by accident. I
proceeded to congratulate him, but he did
not give me time. His first words were:
"How soon am I going to get my annual
pass? I want to use It right away."
A man came Into my office one day with
face a yard long, all put on for the occasion.
He said: "I am mad; I am hot!" I said:
"What la the matter?" He said: "A friend
of mine went to my house a few days ago
and asked my boy for my pass. The boy
gave It to him, and now he has gone and
lost It, and I want you to give me another."
His pass was in my desk at that very
moment It had been taken up on the train
Ave days before, for being presented by
the wrong party. He had loaned it to that
party himself, and the conductor said In bis
report that tt was not the first time, either.
In the light of such facts as these, it Is
not at all surprising that some of the
large railroads of the country should have
found it absolutely, neeessary to require
the photographs of a certain class of poll-
source ot pleasure to the alck during the
past winter. Many flowers have been sent
to the hospitals and private homes. Not
until a month ago, however, have very
many of the flower been In bloom, since
the chrysanthemums left, and, though the
latter will not bloom again until fall, work
upon the plants has already begun. The
temperature of the greenhouses during the
winter baa varied from 45 to 65 degrees
and the flowers have been given water as
needed, the florist's direction being "water
when dry and not without"
The guinea pigs have attracted consider
able attention ot the visitors and also of
the florist, who, owing to the rapidity with
which the little animals multiply, la con
tinually making new homes for them. The
little fellows when a day old begin to root
for themselves and at the age of 2 days
they are likened unto a "razor back" for
hustling qualities.

Though my stay In Rome was brief,
I saw a great deal with the help of two
students from the Capuanlra college. My
first visit was, of course, to St. Peter's, and,
while I am a thoroughbred Catholic,
strange to say as I approached the Im
mense pllo my first thought was not about
St. Peter, llrnbante, Michael Angelo, nor
tho Holy Father, but about Buffalo Bill. I
once asked Bill what he thought about

A pass beggar came very near getting me
into trouble on one occasion. He had wor
ried nie persistently tor several days, and
I had as persistently turned him down.
Finally, he came In one day when tho office
was full of people, and the president him
self was in the room conversing with a
party of distinguished visitors.
"Won't you give me a pass over the
Baltimore & Ohio?" said be.
"Why should I give you one?" said I.
"Don't you have a pass yourself over the
Baltimore & Ohio?" be went on.
I was somewhat staggered by the fellow's
Impudence, but I answered: "I am in the
employ ot the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
and they give me a pass because I have to
travel over the road sometimes on business
ot the company."
"And what do you do when you travel for
pleasure?" he persisted. .
I promptly drew myself up with much
dignity, and with a deep Inward assurance
that this time, at least. I was going to
crush him forever, I said: "Sir, I never
travel for pleasure on the Baltimore
Ohio."
The president looked st me over his
spectacles, with great solemnity. The visi
tors opened their eyes, as if wondering
what tt all meant. The clerks giggled.
The colored portee- grinned. And I looked
foolish and felt myself blush clear to the
tips of my ears. But I held my ground, and
the man went away disgusted.
"And he never came back any more."
A story is told of a local agent on a cer
tain railroad, who was convicted of cutting
passenger rates. Under the rules ot the
passenger association, in force at the time,
the penalty for the offense was dismissal.
They had to dismiss him. They dismissed
him as local agent, and thoy immediately
appointed him general passenger agent of
that same road, and things went on as be
fore, only a great deal worse. It was not
long before he was brought up again be
fore the association on a similar charge.
The chairman said to him: "When you
were local agent, you were discharged
for cutting rates. Now that you are gen
eral passenger agent, you cut them worse
than ever. How do you account for It?"
He promptly replied: "Bigger place!"
The manager of a large hotel was con

would reduce their rates 25 or 50 per cent
they would carry many more people, and
they would make up In the number what
they would lose by the reduction. seeing
they have to run their trains anyway."
"Well." said the, guest "it Is a bad rule

iy anything they generally iuo-
1 ceed. They are not physically
strong as men are, but they
hare brains and possess that quality of
enlisting everyone's sympathy In their
cause to bring about what they desire.
There are many instances where wo
men when put on their mettle hare
astonished the world. Just as in other
affairs in life, if a woman will hare
health and strives earnestly to that end,
che almost invariably secures good
health. But the great difficulty is for
woman to recognize that she is suf
fering from female weakness. The
idea is shocking to her. She imagines
he is the only one among her friends
who is afflicted.
It is reasonable to say there are very
few women who could not be well if
they would always take Wine of Cardul
when they need it. Miss Hattie Laura
Benning, of No. 920 Broad Street, St.
Joseph, Mich., is a young lady who
knows what Wine of Cardui will do,
because it cured her of those terrible
bearing-do w a pains which make life a
torture for so many thousand women.
And she says she never has known ot
anyone failing to get benefit from Wine
