"I know not on what Information

of the plots lor the restoration, but In
my mind It Is a most Inopportune mo

then he laughed lightly and was seri

"William Ilalston," he said, "Is It not

cried, "do you expect your name will

"Man, man," he cried, "1 must take

"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. There Is
nothing else like It.nntl florists through
out the country might well add the pea
nut plant to their list of novel and rare
tilings."

"Making a photograph of James lr
per was the most startling experience
of my life," says Ueorge O. ltockwood,
the New York photographer. "In tin?

picture existed of the four Ilnrpcr
brothers', and It was determined that
they should sit to the same photogra
pher nud have a uulform series of pic

mighty results of the well and wisely
directed efforts of one man as Illus
trated In the establishment of this
beneficent Qnstltution. 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! He was thrown

It was AblJah Ilolden who first got
tho Idea, and he sprung It on the post
olllco crowd one Saturday night In the
most unexpected manner. He'd bin
kiepln iKiwerful quiet fur n week or
two, like a man who's left bis Jack
knife stlckln In the barn tloor aud Is
tryln to remember the fact, and this
made the surprise all the greater. The
vfowd was most ready to go home
when he got up and said:
"Feller CItlxcns of Jerlcho-I want
to see this town boomed ns much as
any of you. 1 want to see her git up
nnd hump herself till Hoston or Cblcn
go won't be In It, but when It conies to
cboosln between size and goodness I'm
fur goodness. 1 think It's better fur
one's roul nnd body to live In a small,
good town than In a big, bad town.
I'm willln to go In and help push Jeri
cho along, ns I said, but let's do It on
right lines. Let's start her off on n
high moral plane nnd keep her so."

cr paused to collect his thoughts, "but
up to this period 1ns language Is sorter
ambiguous. He's ihivlii tit suiitblu, but
what that suntliln Is he'll hnve to ex
plain." "It's Jest this," resumed AblJah. "Pin

religious revivals In this town this fall
Hint was ever held on the top of this
airtb. I wont It to be kept up till ev
ery human belli In the place Is good
'nulT to die at a uilnlt's notice. Weil
git our moral standard llrst, and then
we'll purceetl to boom. When you kin
ntlvertlse the fact that a town of nigh
'J.000 lub.'Uillants hasn't one single sin
ner In It, what's goln to be the result?
Why, gentlemen, the Influx, the rush,
of preachers alone to such a place will
bring about the sale of 'J.000 city lots
within a year. Whlilcrs will come
here, orphans will come here, convert
ed sinners nnd reformed drunkards will
rouie here, nnd the newspapers will
spread It broadcast that Jericho has no
need of courts, constables or Jails."
"I do decide that HIJah has made u
pint," said the deacon "In a glneral
way Jericho Is a purty good town, but
Its moral standard kin lie Imostctl up
a peg or two, I reckon. I'm In fur the
revival."
Ail m Iron Taylor got up anil said he
also favored It. A town was like n
ehlld-sturt out In the right way with
It, and It would prove a Joy nnd a

of wickedness around Jericho, and he

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.

"The Itistunt of dentil." says The In
dian Lancet, is a vague and lmlellullu
expression when viewed from the point
of physiology. An anliuiil or plant
cannot be considered dead until It has
reached that period hi illslntogiatlou
whore It is Impossible to revive life.
Somo physiologists still full her restrict
the (lellultlun to that point In decay
where wory cell In the body of uu ani
mal or plant has ceased to contain or
consist of living iirnioplasm hi other
words, each coll must have lost be

Probably otvc of the most striking ex
amples of llintnnlnueoiis death was
that of the person who nctidentiilly fell
Into a huge vat of boiling caustic jiot
ash, which at once consumed the entire
hotly, leaving only the metallic plates
from the heels of Ids shoes and u few
buttons fiom the clothing as remains.
Death fiom electric shocks also border
on tho Instiiiituneous process. It bus
been found that living cells taken fiom
the hotly can be ireserveil In a normal
slate for a long time and then have life
processes revived If they nro properly
treated.
