A plant is being cultivated in Fiauce
which bears a white blossom in the
morning, a rod one at noon and a blue
one at night. The Boston Transcript
thinks this flower should be very popular
among patriotic Americans abroad.
From Iceland the exports of wool last
season were 1,810,000 pounds, of which
302,0J0 went to Great Britain, the
remainder to Copenhagen. Exports of
live sheep were 23,000, and of poniet
2500. The hay crop was excellent, and
fisheries were good, especially the halibut
fishery which is carried on by Amer
ienns.
A useful inuovatiou ha* been introduced
into the public schools of Baltimore,
in the shape of sewing l??8ons for
the girls. A directress of sewing in tho
public schools has been appointed,
under whose direction weekly lessons
will be given in all the .schools. Fine
samples of wo Ci are provided for the
pupils, who are required to imitate

taraine ana cnoiera nave male war
upon Russia aud prevented Russia from
unking war upon her neighbors. But
pestilence as a peace-promoter is worse,
the Washington Star admits, than the
war which it obviates. The forces of
destruction now issuing from Russia
move far more rapidly than an array,
their attack is far less avoidable and far
piore deadly, and they threaten the new?
world as well as tho old.
The Boston Transcript relates how
Chinese Consul at San Francisco
Jtc&k a hand in protecting tho city
' agaiust cholera by issuing a proclamation
for the purification of Chinatown.
The proclamation was so promptly
obeyed that in twenty-four hours Chiuatown
had gone such a transformation as,
accordiug to the San Fraucisco Bulletin,
a score ot ordinances ana nity policemen
could not have effected- in six
months.
Louis Kossuth told a recont interviewer
that he did not.believe the lluugariuu
Austrian erupiro would hold together
more than one more generation,
and that the Magyars would form the
nucleus of the new State to be formed
out of the wreck. IIo bad faith in the
nearness of a republic in Italy and
another on the Iberian Peninsula; while
to shelve the Guclphs eventually.
A recent visitor To London say3 that
in that city loug taudem tricycles, capable
ol seating eight or more passengers,
have been introduced, and one is now
being used as a rival to the tram or street
cars. The owner of the vehicle occupies
the front seat, collects the fares and
steers, but the passengers have to provide
the motive power, nnd if they don't
move their feet freely very poor time is
made on the journey. Such a means of
iuulmh jtiu.i wuuiu pruvu u success
here, but it is said that in Loudon the
ecnts are booked and paid for u week in
advance.
It may not be generally known, thinks
the Chicago Times, that Nebraska has
on?.third of all the beet-sugar lactones
in the United States. Ilero is the list:
The Alvarado Sugar Company, at Alvarado,
Cal., was the first, built iu 1879,
and is still operated by E. II. Dyer; the
second is that of Claus Sprcckles, at
^ Watsonvilie, Cal., built in 1837; the
third was bililt by Henry T. Oxuard, at
Grntid Island, Neb., aud worked its fi/st
crop iu 1890; the fourth oue waft also
built by Mr. Oxuard in 1891, at
folk, Nob.; the fifth is at Chino, Q?U?
and the sixth has juit beeu completed
this year by local capitalists at LflUl,
Utah. Thus it will bo seeu that these
are at ibis time but six beet-sugar factories
iu the United Htatcs.
P. D. Armour, of Chicago, is said by
the No v York Po3t, to bs interested in

Hamburg at the World's Fair. Mr.

says: "I have never known a better location

which I hftvo in mind. I shall bo hack
iu Chicago again in January, and Mr.
Armour is then to have a consultation
with me upon tho matter. Ho is deeply
interested In tho project. I am of opinion
that a zoological garden would add
immensely to tho attrac'.ions of Chic* *.
Wo have one of somo kind or othor in
every city in Europe. A sum of $500,000
would ho sulR dent for tho complete
establishment of tiic gardons, while onefifth
o' that amount would make a very
good beginning. I am not personally

In further explanation of the no

the flag was hoisted over Fort Sunil

THE DIRECT TAX FUND.
Complaint from a Virginian and the

Washington, I) C*?Assistant Sc<notary
Nctt'eton has received several com
plaints that commissions arc Injng dc
ducted by l?tatc officers for making payments
from the direct lex funds. One
of these letters is from W N. F.irgb rrn,
Eggbornville, Ya. Beplying to this letter
Mr. Nettleton writes:
You sny that the treasurer of your
county in refunding tno direct tax is (inducting
5 pet cout. as his commission,
and you nsk if you arc not entitled to
iutcrcst on the tax being refunded.
In reply you arc informed that only
'a"wf ?q
ual* it should bo returned in full by the
State authorities to the persons from
whom It was collected, or to their heirs
or legal representatives.
However, since tlio tax was paid to
the States the Attorney General lias rcn
dercd an opinion to the effect that all
penalty and interest collected should also
be returned to those from whom it was
collected in the same way. The department
is therefore preparing to refund to
the Governors of States the penalty and
interest in the mine manner and under
the same conditions that tin; tax was
refunded It must be understood, however,
that the interest mentioned is that
which was collected with tlie tax. and
not iutcrcst accruing since.
