shine in deep brilliant crimson. When
the sun sets, they close. begin to fade,
and, few hours later, theirremains strew
the ground. Not inaptly, therefore, have
the Spaniards bestowed upon this re-
markable flower the poetical name of
Flor de la Vida Y (the Flower of Life.)
As few flowers show but one single
color-the majority shining III several
hues at once-the question arises, How is
such an effect produced? This leads to
another very striking feature in the use
which nature makes of chlorophyl. For,
variegated flowers derive their colors
from similar varied liquids or tiny glob
ules, and the great marvel is that although
the walls of the cells are thin enough to
transmit their liquid contents from one to
another, and thus support the life OF the
plants, these colored substances never
mingle Red and blue, yellow and green
atoms lie close by each other, and, passing
they retain their relative position invaria-
bly,, and thus produce those delicate de-
signs which We admire in pelargoniums,
the so-called cuckoo flower, and others.
The beauty of the bright colors i'll
which flowers delight is often still further
enhanced by a velvety appearance, which
gives special depth and softness to some
of Flora's favorite children. This is,
however, purely optical effect, produced
by the reflection of rays from curved sur
faces In all such velvetry flowers the
outer cells rise above the level of the lea
like tiny bubbles or rounded cones; they
are exqusitely delicate, filled with a col
orlessI liquid, and have membranes "a
transparent and bright as the purest crys
tai. The rays of the sun, falling .upol
these countless brilliant eminences, pro
duce an astounding effect, beautiful in TIL
extreme, and marvellous in its simplicity
The result is,most striking where the flow
ers are violet or purple, and hence tn
> special charm of pansies, sword-lilies, an'
dahlias
But it is not the least interesting fac
connected with the beauty of flowers an
the exquisite skill displayed by Nature il
producing such wondrous effects by sucl
simple means that we are not obliged
resort to rare varieties or costly spec
" mems in order to find delight for our eye
: and food for our admiration. On til
contrary. we need only obeyth injunction
to go and consider the lilies of the field,
and we shall soon find the truth of til
u words that even Solomon. in all hi
glory, was not arrayed like one of these.

Eat nothing between meals, not evenan
apple or peach. If you eat fruit let it be

What it Costs.

We are accused of being a mOney-wor
shipping people, and II is often true that
when neither danger to health, nor ques-
tionable moral propliety will change
mans course of life, he will pause and
consider the matter gravely, if you can
convince him that he can make money by
the proposed change. But when we look
at the enormous liquor bill which this
nation pays annually, we must admit that
there arc some things Americans love
more than they do money.
DR. Edward Young, Chiefof the Bureau
of Statistics, has written communication
to the secretary Of the Massachusetts
Temperance Alliance, explaining his Re
port Of 1867, and disclaiming the exag-
gerattd construction which was put Oh it
by many temperance lecturers. But in
| the same paper he favors US with state
ment Of tie quantity and probable cost Of
/ the liquor sales at retail in The United
States iii the year ending June 30th, 1871
/ In this statement he does not include sales
Z
ufacturers, thus avoiding the errors which
crept into the former report. By the
most accurate data afforded at the Bureau
of Statistics, by the revenue returns, DR..
Young gives the follow ing figures;
Whisky, 100000 0, retailing
| at $6. ger gallon, ...... s360,o00.90 ,
Imported spirits, 2,500,090

paving government license. Many OF
these employ half a dozen clerks, while
others employ the services of but one per

Or, Graham mush, with little good

Or, cracked wheat, with milk and su-

Or, baked potatoes with bread and but

Or, beef steak or mutton chop, With
baked potatoes and bread and butter
If you are thin and need fat, use the first
three; if you arc too fat, use the last nam

| Drink cold water or little weak coffee
DINNER.

good bread and butter, and close the mea

There is tinge of romance about the story
of Mrs. Clahn's abduction and incarceration
in private insane asylum which throws doubt
on it. That the lady suddenly disappeared and
was absent three or four days is certain; that
she may have been seized in the streets and
conveyed away by force is not improbable;
but that she should have escaped so easily Is,
to say the least, little marvellous. Mrs. Olaf
lin suspects her son-in-law, Blood, of having
kidnapped her, but it is due to all to say that
there seems to be nothing but her suspicious
to warrant this assertion.

The Paris insurgents still hold the Buttes
of Chamont at Beleville and Pantin, and
from these elevated positions continue to
shell Paris. The Buttes are natural defenses,
difficult to scale or turn, and very small
force can here make formidable resist
ance. The rage of the people of Paris
against the Communists has been greatly
increased by their wantOn destruction of
property, and the excuses of the leaders have
cost them what little of popularity or sympa-
thy they commanded. They are shot whenever
captured; and several of them, including
Dombrowski, Rigault, the Commune Chief of
Police, and Courbet, the engineer who de-
stroyed the column in the Place Vendome,
have already fallen victims to the just rage
of their captOrs.
