one day: Those expensive bouquets, of which
one sees such an abundance every morning at
the " Marche aux F}eurs," must be constantly
flung aside by tife BeaGties TO whom they have
been presented dong while before the flowers
are really dead, aud ms matter of course find
their way to the rubbish heaps before their
proper time. Early in the morning IN the
fashionable quarters of Paris these heaps are
streyyn with flowers still blooming D q Now
said,our intelligent Partisan to himself, " if l
were to go or send round early, and pick up all
these flowers, and could only succeed in finding
out q, way of reyiying them, If merely for u
short time, might make u little fortune" He
was not long IN finding out all he wanted,
wherenpon he hired a small isolated house
near the Barriere Mont Parnasse, and ngaged
a number of poor people to collect the flowers
from fffthe rubbish heaps before the chiffon
niers went their rounds and soiled them by
turning all the refuse over The flowers once in
lis house, this is how he set to work: A mum
berpof women nndid the different bouquets,
sorted the flowers. cut OF the ends Of all the
ter almost boiling, thereby causing the sap to
mount into the flowers, and rendering them as
brilliant as though they had been gathered
that morning. The flowers were then mounted
upon rush stems arranged in bouquets, and
surrounded with fresh green leaves, and all
was done. To get rid of the bouquets, a band
of little girls were hired, who, clearly and
tidily dressed, and will, small baskets upon
their arms containing the days stock, and
punches of flowers in their hands, pcstered
the Sc along the wo TO
purchases. So well organized was the entire
| affair that upward of 1--WE thousand dollars a

4 Ironder. Of 7Precoety Christian Heinecker
| was born at Lubec on the 9Th of February,
/ 1921. When only ten months old he could re-
| peat every word that was said him; at twelve
| months he knew; tho principal events IN the
Pentateuch by heart; at two years ne learned
| the historical parts of the Old and New Tesla
! ments; in his third year he could reply to most
questions on universal histsry and geography,
and French; in his fourth year he employed
himself in the study of religion and the his
tory of the Church, and he was able not only
to repeat what he had read, but also to reason
upon it, and express his own Judgment. The
King of Denmark wished to see this wonderful
| child, so he was taken to Copenhagen, there
examined before the court, and proclaimed to
be wonder. On his return home he learned
to write, but his constitution being weak, he
shortly afterward fell i'll. He died on the 9th
Of June as There Is one account n q, TINS in

There are women who are weak-nlinded
enough to take any measures which offer pos
