sweetly.

that you loved her, and wanted you two

told that story"
"What Didn't her uncle leave her a

A Jnpancse Paper Fnctorr.

About two hundred miles from Yeddo is
a plain twenty miles long, and varying
from two to eight miles in width. Around
this plain rise mountains covered with the
paper mulberry trees, and in various viii
lagos upon this plain is paper manufac-
tured.
One ofthese manufacturers is now contin-
uing the business which has been prosecu-
ted in the same place by his family for not
less than six hundred years. In yard
near his house, dozen boys and girls were
seen by the visitor employed in peeling the
mulberry branches which had been dried
and macerated until the soft inner bark
could be readily separated from the outer
These strips were then boiled in lye
formed from the ashes of rice straw; they
we're afterwards beaten almost to pulp,
and finally thrown into a vat of sizing
made from the bark of the slippery elm
and ground, boiled rice. They were agi-
tated in this mixture until the sheets could
be removed singly on fine mating, to be fas-
tened ON boards and dried in the sun. The
sheets are afterwards pressed in an ordi-
nary wedge and lever press, and finally
receive a finishing gloss.
The establishment employs forty per-
sons, at from six to eight cents per day and
cleared about one thousand dollars year.

you should be more respectful" " Why,
father, said the boy" that's the way Mr..
Sumner spoke of him, himself" 81 don't

The RIght 70 Go % Hon.

Recently at revival meeting in the
north part Of Wright CO., Ia, theexercises of
the evening closed by general invitation
to all who wanted to go heaven to rise.
The entire congregation, with a solitary ex-
ception in the shape of a boy, rose to their
feet, The conductor then varied the invita-
ton by asking all who wanted to go to hell
to arise. The solitary exception arose to his
feet. ofcourso the good people were scan
dalized, and the result was the arrest Of the
youth and his trial for disturbing the meet
ing. But to the intense disgust Of those
liberal souls, the court held that If the boy
wanted to 60 to he'll he had right to do
so, and that such did not necessarily disturb
the meeting within the meaning Of tho Law; /;
and dismissing the case, tine boy was sent
on his way rejoicing.

THE LARGEST AND FINEST FLOWER GAR
DEN IN THE WORLD. Henry Shaw, Of st.
Louis, has given practical execution to the most
remarkable bachelors crotchet' Of the age.
He is a Scotchman, millionaire, and some
seventy-6ve years old. He has constructed the
finest flower garden in the world. It has, $50
acres in it, and is a gorgeous marvel ofagarden.
It has all the flowers in it obtainable in the
world, that will live in St Louis climate. tits
bewlldering paradise Of floral beauty. The
flowers number by the millions. It's cost no
one can tell Shaw himself don't know TITS
threaded by walks and adorned with conserv-
atories and hot-houses full of therarest exotics.
A force of 100 gardeners is needed to keep the
place in order. Shaw, it is said, spends his
entire income from his millions in keeping it
up. He began the thing after the war, and for
several years he has opened it to the public.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors resort to it,
It is the chief attraction and curiosity for the
stranger in St. Louis to visit And, strange to
say, no police guard it, and no flowers are pill
fered. This is the public reverence to the
mans generous enterprise In a splendid house
at the head OF the garden there is an elegant
picture of Shaw, representing him standing
among bis flowers. Two elegant portraits OF
beautiful ladies, in the garb of past day, rep
resenting some of his female progenitors. A
huge book is kept there for visitors to record
their names in. A curious feature of the gar
den is beds devoted to one flower For instance,
there is large bed with every variety of cac-
tus; another with hundreds Of verbenas, and
SO on. Everything is in a prodigal prsfusion.
Shaw is near his grave. He has, in pursuance
of his ambition. willed his garden to the city,
on condition that the city binds itself to keep
them up. The city has eagerly accepted the
bequest, and thus, through private liberality,
gets, without cost. public garden not surpass-
ed in the world for magniicence and beauty.
The garden will forever be dubbed, "Shaw's
Garden" and he thus travels on to Immortality
on the successful realization of his stupendous
and most beautiful crotchet

Use fiction as you would spices in your food.
