The Legends Of Plants.

The rose of England became especially
famous during the wars of the roses,
after which the red and white were uni
ted; and the rose Of both colors.is called
the York and Lancaster; but when these
flowers first became badges of the
houses we cannot discover.
The thistle is honored as the emblem
of Scotland, from the circumstance that
once upon a time party of Danes hay
ing approached the Scottish camp upper
ceived, by night, were on the point of
attacking it, when one of the soldiers
trod on thistle, which caused him to
cry out, AMI so aroused the enemy.
The shamrock of Ireland was held by
st. Patrick to teach the doctrine of the
Trinity, and chosen in remembrance of
him; it is always worn by the Irish on
st. Patrick's day.
The leek in Wales, as n national de-
vice, has not been satisfactorily explain
ed, otherwise than as the result of its
having the old Cymric colors green and
white.
In France, the Heur-de-ls is 80 called
MS corruption OF .ReW-de-Louis, and
has no connection with the lily, but was
an iris, chosen as an emblem by Louis
VII. when he went to the Crusades, and
afterwards named after him.
The olive is deemed al emblem of
peace; probably because, on account OF
its durability of growth, it was planted
both in Italy and Greece to mark the
limits of landed possessions.

Strength of the Belligerent Forces

The New York Hcrald, summing up
the military resources of the probably
belligerent European powers. is evident
ly inclined TO the belief that the Rus
slams will have the best of it, contending
that the English have not the strength
and endurance to stand against the
trained Russian legions, while of the
Turks the editor says:
"Tlie Turkish army is thoroughly
reliable one for the defense of Ottoman
territory against Russian invasion. The
troops are stout, brave and fanatical-
three military elements that have before
now combined to win great victories
against desperate odds; but once fairly
on the run before n conquering Musco-
vite army, not the Bosphorus itself can
stop the retreat of the Turkish fatalists
into Asia Minor. So long as victory
hangs in the balance the Turks will fight
with stubborn ferocity worthy of the
days of their greatest power; but once
the scale falls to the side of the Rus
slams, weighed down by their heavy
swords and tranpling legions, then will
the followers Of the prophet commence
'hegira that will carry them out of
Europe forever"

How the Sultan Looks and Lives.

The present queen of the harem is
new, and new love is strong but it
never retains the sultan in his harem
beyond the hour of his habitual appear
ance in the imperial study. BY ten
o'clock in the morning, clad in fur
lined anteri, the sultan takes his place
in the cheerful little room in the right
wing of the palace which he has made
his own-a little gem in its way, fur
nished in ebony and green velvet, its
only adornments select library, num-
Der of maps hung on the walls, the busts
of his father and uncle, and the por-
traits of his father and grandfather.
The first person he sends for in the
morning is Said Pasha, grand marshal
of the palace, with whom he draws out
the programme of his day he then calls
for the other Said Pasha, his first secre-
tary, with whose assistance he carefully
examines NIL the papers sent to him from
the porte. Occasionally, while still in
his dressing gown, he receives ministers
on pressing business; otherwise he works
at his papers until about noon, when he
breakfasts, and shortly after he appears
in his study, dressed in the Quaker-cut
black frock-coat, called st0mbulee.
Then commence the official receptions,
generally followed by Il second interview
with his grand marshal, after which he
either takesa walk in the palace grounds
Or trip on the Bosphorus i'll his yacht.
He disliles driving, but one Sunday he
drove over to STEAMBOAT to inspect the
arrangements of the new chamber of
deputies. He dimes shortly after sunset,
takes no raki before his dinner and no
wine with the meal. Once OF twice a
week he invites some members of the
cabinet to spend the evening with him,
and talks to them upon public affairs;
other evenings are devoted to music;
he has special pianist, an italian, at
tached to the palace, and sometimes the
palace troupe perform n pantomime for
his amusement.

OF the iovial party applied n lighted

connected with the room in which they
were located, and instantly the bell in
the Office rang out vigorously, the men,

American Men Of Science.

Some little time ago Professor Marsh
read in Hayper's Weekly M item which
he knew came from Professor Baird, OF
the Smithsonian Institute, to tho effect
that there had been found near a village
in Switzerland fossil "pterodactyl'
with the wings in perfect preservation,
The Yale professor knew that among all
the fossils of this animal none was known
with the wings preserved. He instantly
repaired to the telegraph office and sent
message TO Swiss naturalist: "Buy
the new pterodactyl for Yale College,
The naturalist obeyed, paying for the
fossil, believe, little over II thousand
dollars. Soon after it was sold kilograms
poured in from every museum of the
world-Boston, Berlin, Paris, St. Peters
burg, London-asking the price. request
ing photographs, etc. but it was already
on the way to the man who said buy it,
and 80 there il now in his possession the
unique pterodactyl worth to-day more in
mere cash than ten times what he paid
for it.
DR.. Rost, tho librarian OF the India
House, who can speak and read more
languages than any man living, told me
that the best scholar in Zend-the least
explored of ancient tongues-is an Amer
ican-Professor Whitney, of Yale.
Max Muller told me that the best liv-
ing scholar in Anglo Saxon is IN Ameri-
can-Professor March, of Lafayette Col
lege (who, by the way, has acceded to
the request of the Early English Text
Society to edit Lord Tollemache's manu-
script OF Orosius). While America can
produce such men, and so lead in the
scientific and scholastic advance of the
world, her century of independence can
hardly be regarded MS failure, for all
the apparent endeavors of the Belknaps,
