Fashionable Flowers.

One of the most singular phenomena in
the horticultural world is the ia hion for
certain flowers which suddenly comes in,
and gradually works. itself up into per-
feet "rage" or niania: The passion of
the ancient Romans for roses and that of
the Dutch for tulips, IS matter, of, histo-
ry, and there is no saying whether our
own times may not supply similar instan-
ces o. enthusiasm. During the last hun
dred years, however, the feeling has not
taken violent form. We have paid
$1,000 for orchids, but what Is that in
comparison to thousands once paid for
single tulip. The modern fashion for
any kind of flowers is very tickle. At
the utmost it LISTS but fcty years, and
then turns out new favorite. About
sixty years ago, auriculas, picotees, carna-
tions and pinks were generally grown.
Balsams were also greatly in vogue.
About 1919 pansies were coming into
fashion. The first of the rcd geranlums
became fashionable about sixteen or eish-
teen years ago. The red variety of the
Indian azalea was brought into notice
about 1926. The fuchia is said to have
been introduced by Captain Firth, in
the year 1888, but there is q sentimental
story connected with it which enabled
Messrs. Lee, of Hammersmith, to bring
the plant prominently before the public.
Dahlias began to attract attention in 1921,
but the fine double varieties did not come
up till 1880. The scarlet yerbenas were
becoming general about 1876. Cape
heaths, poteas and bulbs, Australian
plants and American cactus, all had their
day. At present we seem to have fixed
our attention principally on fine "leaf
plants" This phyllomania can be traced
directly to Japan, where plants distin-
guished for their elegant and remarkable
foliage have for ages been great favorites.
The Dutch acquired it from the japanese,
and gradually impaired it to the Cont
mental nations, and ultimately to our
selves. The fern, of which about 1000
species are cultivated in our gardens, owe
part of their popularity to their elegant
foliage. The rage for orchids seems to be
on the wane, the great growers begin to
act upon the pernicious principle of " Sc
lection, not collection" and its applica-
ton is always sign that real enthusi-
asm is cooling down.-Atheneum..

The Force OF HABIT-A counsellor, re:
nowned for the art of pleading, had trick
of rubbing his spectacle-case while address
ing Jury. A foolish attorney, who had con-
fided brief to him, thought this action ra-
ther indccorous, and likely to impair the
effect Of the suit admitted. Accordingly, he
watched for an opportunity, and stole away
the spectacle-case. For the first time in his
life, the counsellor's tongue faltered-his
mind missed the bodily track with which it
had long associated its operations, he became
confused, embarrassed-he stammered, blum
dered, boggled-lost all the threads Of his
brief, and was about to sit down, self-defeated,
when the conscicnc e-stricken attorney re-
stored the spectacle-case. Straightway, with
the first touch of the familiar talisman, The
mind recovered its self possession, the tongue
its fuency; and as, again, and again, the
lawyer fondly rubbed the spcctacle-case, ar
guments few forth like the birds from con-
Jurors box. And the jury, to whom few
minutes before the case seemed hopeless.
were stormed into unanimous conviction cf
its Justice. Such is the force Of habit. Such
is the sympathy between mental and bodily
associations Every magician needs his wand
and, per- haps, every man Of genius has-his
spectacle case.

WEAR SMILE.-Which will you do,
smile and make others happy, or be cross,
and make everybody around you misera-
BILE: You can live among beautiful
flowers and singing birds, or in the miro,
surrounded by fogs and frogs. The
amount of happiness you can produce is
incalculable, if you will show smiling
face, a kind heart, and speak pleasant
words. On the other hand, by sour looks,
cross words, and fretful disposition, you
can make hundreds unhappy almost be-
yond endurance. Which will you do :
Wear pleasant countenanceI let JOY
beam in your eye, and let love glow on
your forehead: There is no JOY SO great
as that which springs from kind act or
pleasant deed, and you may feel it at
night when you rest, and at morning
when you rise, and through the day when
about your business.

NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN.-Socrates
at an extreme age, learned to play musical
instruments, for the purpose of resisting
the influences of old age. Cato, at
eighty years of age, began to learn the
Greek language. Plutarch, when between
seventy and eighty, commenced the study,
of Latin. Boccaccio was thirty years of
age when he commenced his studies III
polite literature, yet he became one of the
three great masters of Tuscan dialect
Dante and Petrarch being the other two.
Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences.
in his youth, but commenced the study of
them when he was between fifty and sixty
years of age. After this time he became
a most learned antiquarian and lawyer:
Colbert, the famous French minister, at
sixty years of age returned to his Latin
and law studios.

EAnIr R1sIso.-There is no time spent
so stupidly as that which inconsiderate
people pass in the morning between sleep.
ing and waking. He who is awake may
be at work or at plsy; he who is asleep
is receiving the refreshment necessary to
fit him for action; but the hours spent in
doing and slumbering are wasted, with
out either pleasure OF profit. The sooner
you leave your bed the schooner you will
be confined to it, for early rising condu-
ces to healthfulness. When old people
have been examined in order to ascertain
the cause of their Longevity, they have
uniformly agreed In one thing only, that
they "all went to bed and all rose early"

DIscRErIoN.-There are more shining
qualities in the minds Of men, but there is
none so useful as discretion; it's this, which
gives value to all the rest, which sets them
at work in their proper times and places, and
turns them to the advantage Of the person
who possesses them. Without it, learning
pedantry, and wit is impudence; virtue i.
self looks like weakness; the best paris only
qualify man to be more sprightly IN errors
and active to his own prejudice.

The OCEAN CARRYING TRADE. = The
steam carrying trade on the Atlantic has
increased within the past few years with
rapidity which the most sanguine friends
of steamship enterprise have never dared
to predict. In the year 1852 the tonnage
of foreign going steamers entered inwards
at Liverpool was 1875 tons, while in
1862 it was 95,339, which, in the year
ending June, 1868, had increased to
756, APO tons. In about ten years the
foreign steam trade of that port has more
than quadrupled. There are at present
eight distinct lines of Atlantic steamships,
six of which have contracts for carrying
the mails. They own, in the aggregate,
55 vessels, and new vessels of an improved
character, and of greater power and ca
pacity, are being constantly added to the
list. We have recently had the prospec-
tus of new line to b. established by the
"National Steam Navigation Company"
with capital Of two millions sterling,
having for its object to run feet Of screw
steamers from Liverpool and London to
New York; of large size and great Gu
pacity. Three steamers Of that class have
already been secured, and contracts have
been entered into for the building Of others
of about $500 tons each. The Impetus
given to the trade has induced the Cunt.rd
and Dale-or Inman-lines to run extra
steamers at stated times, and the initiatdry
steps have already been taken for the es-
tablishment of new lines. 1t is note
worthy fact that the screw ships are fast
superseding the more expensive and cum
brous side-wheeled steamers. The Cunard
Company, it is said, freely admit that their
screw ship, the China, which is of such
size and power as to admit of fair COM
parison with first-class side-wheeled
steamers, is the least expensive and most
useful vessel of their line.
