We WANT HoRE PLUMP WoNEN-The
Nelr- York Gazette concludes 4 plea for
''plump women as follows ''Bnt whatever
education your girls have, let rs have less of
It. American girls are notorious for their
pallor and frailty and tendency to wither and
lose their charms at an early age. This
country has no greater want, at the present
time, than of plump and girls and plump wo-
men. Letus have them plump and healthy,
whether they know anything or not We can
teach iheir children what they don't know, if
necessary; by all means let Us have rosy,
blossomiug, solid women The Pacific rail-
road is not half SO important to the prosperity
of this country as the aggregate ayoirdupois
Of its women. The female sex of America
ought to weigh at least as half as much again

THE Use or FLOWERS.

lhe time las gone by-if il ever existed
when man was esteemed less sensible or
practical because he appreciated the beauty
Of flowers, and loved to have them around
him. Each year we are learning more and
more Of their lovelness, and showing the erf-
dence ola better educated taste. il the more
extended use We make Of boquets and gar
lands. a writer says:
There has been Of late years marked in
crease in the use Of flowers for social pur
poses. Every dinner party or dancing party
must nov be graced with these stars of the
earth. Al large assemblies there is always
lavish display Of flowers, as ifit were de-.
sigred to intoxicate the gnests with the de-
licious odors of inuuuerable blossoms If
we yisi. lady, flowers must preeede our
coming; If we drive out with her, the odor Of
flowers must sweeten the pleasure. Superb
presentation baskets and boquets are now
seen IN almost every parlor, and are the hor
ticultural compliments Of gentlemen to ladies.
The iavoFite flowers are the camelia, japonica
the sweet Neapolitau violet, and the white
and tea rose. Although a large capital IS
employed in producing these the supply al.
ways is unequal to the demand. and they
bring high, even extravagant prices on great
occasions. Flowers are, of course, exten-
siveiy used at weddings, but according to the
florists, they are employed more literally at
funerals. Five hundred dollars are not un-
frequently expended IN crosses and wreathes
for these solemn occasions As weddings
and funerals require white flowers only, they
cause these to be more rare, and of higher
price than colored ones. Some Of our chnr-
ches, Of late years, have employed flowers
extensively on occasions Of religious festivals.

Day
Day, what Day
The Day we ee!ebrate,' said jenkins as he
went on his way rejoicing.
A Country sehoolmaster, preparing for an
exhibition of his school, selected q class of
pupils and wrote down the questions he
would put to them on examination day
The day arrived, and so did the hopefuls, all
bat one. The pupils took their places as had
been arranged, and all went on ghbly un-
til the question of the absentee came,
when the teacher asked, in whom do you
beEeye?n Napoleon Boaaparte," was the
answer quickly returned. 'FYou believe in
the Established Church, do you not ~ s'No,"
said the youngster, ''the boy that believes III
the church hasn't come to school to day''
JOSH BuIIEGs oS BED BUGs,-Ineyer seen
emmy body yet but what despised bed bugs,
They are the meanest ov awl crawling, creep
ing, hopping or bitingthings.
They dassant take q man BY dalite, but
sneak in after dark, and chag him while he
IS fast asleep.
A nusketo will fite you in broad dalite, at a
short range, aud give you chance to knack
at his sides-the aea Is game bug, and will
make dash at you even in Broadway-but
the bed bug is garroter, who waits till you
strip, and then picks ont mellow place to
ate you.
IfIwas ever in the habit of swearing, l
would not hesitate to damn a bed bug right
tew his face.
Bed bugs are uncommon smart in small
way-one pair of them viii stock hair
mattress in weaks with bugs enuff to last
a small family whole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when bed
bugs are in season; the only way to get rid of
them is tew bile up the whole bed in aquafor
tbs, and then heaye it away and buy a new
one.
Bed bugs when they have grown sul they
intend to, are about the size oy a blue jays
eye, and have brown complexion, and when
they start out to garrote they ore ez fiat ez q
greese pot, but when they git thru garotting
are swelled up like blister,
It takes them three days to get the swelling
out of them.
If bed bugs hev emmy destiny to FIJI, It must
be their stummieks, but it seems to me that
they must have been made by accident, Just
as slivvers are, 10 stick into somebody.
If they wuz got up for some wise purpos,
they must hev took the wrong, for there kant
be emmy wisdom in ehawing a man all nite
long and raising family besides, tew foller
the same trade.
If there ez some wisdom in aul this, hop,
the bugs will chaw them folks who can SCI
It, and let me be, because I am one of th'
heretcks.
