I ho governor at tho time rofiiHod to have nnythiug to nay on the question nor has ho ainee spoken about it. Tho Stato board of control are going ahead preparing thoir annual reports to ttio legislature. They propose to inako some rocom? metidatioua an to changes in tho luw which they think will vory much bet tor .it. One of tho most, important of tho changed, it ban boon learned, which thoy proposo to rcoominoud iB tho abolition of the county boards of control. Tho'contral board maintaiua that tho inembors of tho county boards look upon their position as ono more of honor than of work. As a consequence the management of the county dispen saries )'h left almost entiroly in tho hands of tho dispensers. If they bo honest men everything is conducted straight ; if not thoro are opportunities for thorn to gouge t|10 state on suoh matters for instance, as broakago. Tho report of the State board will consequently embody in it a recom mendation that the county boards bo done away with and instead tho county dispensaries bo placed directly in the hands of tho central board. It will be urged that thoy can thus bo better managed and any irregularities chock ed by a system of inspectors The so inspectors will visit every dinpensary when a shipment is received and look to it that no overcharges aro made for break ago. Tho Stato board will arguo that money cau bouavod l>3' this chango in system of keeping check on tho count y d isponsers. Tho per diem of the county boards, thoy will claim, will more than pay tho inspectors and tho surplus can thus bo turned into tho State treasury. This is the most important amend* mont which tho/itatti board will inako. There aro several minor matters to which attention will bo called. In par ticular will a strong effort bo inado to make as strong a financial showing as possible. Already every oxpenso pos sible ii boiug lopped off and somo of tho things now put down in the quar terly reports as unearned profits will bo transferred to tlto "profit" column, l ake for instance the drays. Thoy will ho sold lit tho noxt mooting of tho board and Iho money placed to tho credit of the cash account ot tho dis pensary. A number of the members, both I of the senate and house, have expressed themselves on tho whiskey p obleni, but enough have lefused to commit themselves to leave the whole question, in doubt.

It "grows in a cavern, iu nu immense ba sin of brackish water timt has over flowed from the sea. To t Hf* sight it Is a perfect flower, but on tile approach of a hand or a stick It retires quickly , out of sight. Close examination shows that the middle of the llowcr-like disc is pro vided with four filaments, which move round the phtals with a brisk, spou tancous motion. Each of these fila ments is provided with pinchers fur receiving prey. This animal Uower lives upon the spawn of fish and mar ine Insects. When ?ver the piiifohers on the filaments make a catch, file petlas 'flose and there Is 110 escape for what ever has b .en so unfortunate as to fall into the creature's maw.
