State election of October 5th •
The state election will be held 1

constitutional amendments will
be voted on:
Amendments to article 7, sec- ]

Amendments to paragraph 1,
section 3, article 3 (limiting the
number of representatives to

Amendments to paragraph 2,

* 4 S)

Our Occupation.
A Census Bureau on occupa
shows that in continental !
States the total
persons engaged in gainful
in 1900 was 29,073,-
233, which constituted one-half
the population, ten years of age
or over, and nearly two-fifths of
the entire population. Those
of foreign birth aggregated 5,-
851,399, or one-fifth of the total
number of gainful workers.
A Peculiar Law.
The law of France requiring
all seamen to deposit 3 percent
of their wages with the govern
ment is applicable to fishermen
and this fund so collected is
used to create a service pension,
payable to all who have served
25 years under the French flag
on the seas. The amount re
quired by pensioners varies ac
cording to the capacity in which
they have served. After the
death of a pensioner one-half is
continued to the widow.
Night Bloomers.
There are many flowers which
bloom only’at night. Such as
the night-blooming cereus, the
moon flower and the evening
primrose. This seems strange,
most flowers love the sun.
When we go over the list of
night-flowering plants, it imme
diately appear* that they are all
whith or light in color, that
many are large and that most
of them have a sweet, often in
tencC odor. All these points
are important when we come to
solving their little secret.
Botanists will prove to use
that the purpose of color as well
as scent and lionevs m flowers
is to attract the butterflies and
bees that carry the pollen from
one flower to another at night,
an d these knowing and preserve
their kind -
