"Few persons are perhaps uwarc that a thing of beauty Is a common peanut plant growing singly hi n six or eight Inch pot and grown Indoors during the colder months," says an up to date flor ist In the Washington Star. "Kept In a warm room or by tho kitchen stove, n peanut kernel planted In n pot of loose, mellow loam, kept only moderately moist, will soon germi nate and grow up Into n beautiful plant. It Is In a similar way that the peanut planters test their seeds every year, beginning even early In the win ter, and the facility with which tho seeds will grow In this way has sug gested to tunny southern flower lovers the possibility of making the useful peanut an ornamental piant for the parlor or sitting room window. "As the plant Increases In size and extends Its branches over the sides of the pot In n , eiident manner, there nre few plants of more Intrinsic beauty. Tho curious habit of the compound lenves of closing together, like the leaves of a book, on the approach of night or when a shower begins to fall on them Is one of the most Interesting hnblts of plant life. "I-nter on for the peanut Is no ephemeral wonder, enduring for n day or two only-the nnpearanec of the tiny yellow flowers antvputtlng fortli of the peduncles on bleb the nuts grow Im part to this iloral rarity n striking and unique charm nil Its own.

He said, 'If anything should happen to me, I be lieve I should like to be taken to St. Luke's hospital, for there organized, practiced skill would perhaps be para mount to even the tender care and love one gets at home.' "His words were prophetic. After declining bis warm Invitation for me to ride wllb him he left the gallery, I think, near - o'clock In the afternoon. About r o'clock a gentleman rushed Into the reception room and asked, 'Was .lames Harper here today?' 'Yes.' 'Did be sit for a photograph?' 'Yes, and here Is the negative a superb one.' 'Thank Cod!

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. rnllllciil Sftnctlntt of Whnt All Aureeil to lie it (iotnl TIllllK. One of the latest writings of the late Charles Dudley Warner wns nn essay for Tho Century, entitled "The Pursuit of Happiness." l'oi Imps the most curious nml Inter esting phrase ever put Into a public document Is "the imrsult of happiness." It Is declared to be an Inalienable tight. It cannot be sold. It cannot be given nwny. It Is doubtful If It could be left by will. The light of every man to be 0 feet high nml of every woman to be .1 feet -I wns regarded as self evident until wo men asserted their undoubted right to be ti feet high also, when some confu sion was Introduced Into this Interpre tation of this rhetorical fragment of the eighteenth century. Hut the Inalienable right fo the jiur suit of haipluess has never been ques tioned since It was irochilmctl us a new gosjiel for the new world. The American people iicceptetl It with en thtislnsin, as If It bad bein the discov ery of a gold prospector, and stnrtetl out In the pursuit as If the devil were after tlicm. If the proclamation had been tlint happiness Is a common right of the race, alienable or otherwise; that all men ure or inny be happy, history nnd tradition might have Interfered to raise a tliiubt whether even the new form of government could so change the ethical condition. Hut the right to miike a pursuit of happiness given In a funda mental bill of rights had quite a differ ent aspect. Men hud been engaged In many pursuits, must of them disas trous, some of them highly commenda ble. A sect In (ialllee bad set up the pursuit of righteousness ns the only or the hlgliest object of man's Immortal powers. The rewards of It, however, weie not always Immediate. Hero was a political sanction of a pursuit that everybody uckuow lodged to be of n good thing. The llrenni tif Hie Key, Some small uitlcle had been lost I forget now what, let us say a key bo longing to one of two sisters who were traveling together. It could nowhere be found. Hut one night one of the sis ters dreamed that she saw the key In the iiK'ket of her traveling bag. She told this dream on waking to th' other. "And have you looked In the jiocketV" the sister asked. "No, I have not," snld she, "for the very good reason that there Is no pocl;et In my traveling bag." "Well," said the oilier, "there Is n pocket In mine. I will Just have a look there on the chance." And there the key wns found. The Infeieiice Is that the tlrenmer hail seen wlJMhe eye of sense, though lint with tlitTyi' of film rvnllon. the key put lulu tHe jiocket. Pven when the key was ho found she had no recollec tion of sct-ing It placed there, but the brain bail unconsciously recorded the sensation. In course of sleep It had stumbled on that leeoril, uiul by good luck the sleeper on awaking chanced to remember the mental operation that bad taken place dining sleep. It Is n singular and almost ulaimllig lellectlou that our brains aie stored with count less such I com ii of which we know nothing, nor ever shall know unless the association of Ideas or some peculiar mental state brings tliein to our notice.
