ARTIFICIAL FLOWER MAKING.-French
flowers are always made in France Some
times they are fashioned by the taper fin
gers of young girls, s,sometimes by the tremb
ling hands of lonely old women, and
sometimes whole families unite to manu-
facture them, everybody, from the father
to the tiniest child, taking part in the
work. Mrs. Champney tells pretty
story of an ugly old maid who assidiously
studied botany, and practiced the imita-
ton of mosses, ferns and berries, until she
could deceive millners and even natural.
lists, and they both believed she had dis
covered the secret of making varnsh in
which she dipped the products of the fields
and hedges, thus preserving their color
and shape She lived in France of course
Then there was Il pretty girl who remain
ed ut home, and only worked for special
customers, filling orders for garnitures to
match costumes, and using materials too
costly and rare to be employed in flowers
to be sold to the general public. She lived
in France too. So general is the impres.
sion that all flower makers also live in the
same country, that the American maker OF
artificial blossoms is almost unknown to
fame, except through the exertions of that
genial romancer, the New York reporter
who occasionally speaks of her as dying o!
arsenic poisoning, and recants his state.
ment the next day. Nevertheless, two
thirds of the French artificial flowers used
in the United States are made here. and
most of them are made by Americans.
The number of flower makers in and
around Boston is between three and four
hundred and nearly all of them are Amer
leans. About % French girls, pupils of
the best Partisan manufacturers, have
taught their fellow-workmen their business
and have taught them SO well that three
out of five of their pupils can equal the
work of the teachers. A large number of
flower makers live in New York, and in
that city the work is sub-divided almost as
minutely rs it is in France. Il few men and
women monopolizing the production of
certain parts of the flower For instance,
all the stamens and pistls which are
known to he trade as peeps are made
by an old Frenchman in New York and
the rubber calyxes and stems are the work

The DIFFERENCE.-Th steak was cold.

was mad all through, as the dinner hour
passed by and her husband came not.
Presently the door knob turned, and Mr..
Hickenooper stamped into the hall.
81 should think you might be little
more prompt to your meals" snapped his
wife, as she glowered Oh him from the
kitchen door. " Here have shaved and
shaved myself all the forenoon, and now
the dinners all spoiled, just by your lazi-
ness. If couldn't"
Mr.. Hickenlooper held up his hand
warningly. and his wife stopped.
"You put me in mind of something"
he remarked.
"Thats what was trying to do" she
retorted somewhat sarcastically. "What

"You remind me OF the recent escape
of the czar of Russia" he explained. as

A STORY WITH A MoRAL.-There wa!
once II man and II woman who planned Il
90 and spend II day ut Il friends house
which was some miles distant from theil
own.
So one pleasant morning they started
oGt to make the visit, but they bad not
gone far before the woman remembered q
bridge they had to cross which was very
old, and was said not to be safe, and SHIT
Immediately began to worry about it.
"What shut we do about that bridgeP
she said to her husband, 81 shall never
dare to 90 over it, and we cant get across
the'river any other way.
"Oh!" said the man, " forgot tha
bridge; it is a bad place; suppose it shoul'
break through, and we should fall into the
water and be drowned?' ?'
Or oven," said the wife. suppose yor
should step on a rotten plank, and break
your leg. what would become Of me and o
the baby?"
Il don't know said the man. wha
would become of any of us, for | couldn'
work, and we should all starve to death.
So they went on, worrying and worry
ing, till they got to tho bridge, when Il
and behold they saw that since they had
been there last Il new bridge had beer
built. and they crossed over it in safety
and found they might have saved them
selves all their anxiety.
Now that is just what the proverl
means; never waste you worrying or
what you think may possibly be going t.
happen; don't think, Oh! suppose i
should rain tomorrow so that can't g.
out" or, What should do if | shoulc
have Il headache the day of the party"
Half the time the troubles we look 70
do not come. and as we have said, it i
never worth while to waste worrying.

SCHoOL-BoY STRATEGY.-A few days
before schools were closed by order of the
school board, one of the teachers at noon
time espied small boy with II red flannel
around his neck. Visions of diphtheria
floated through her brain, and she ordered
the young John Henry to pack up his book
and return no more a. until your throat is
perfectly WELL" He obeyed the summons
and on his way home met three of his
companions, who noticed his books and
saluted him with, " What's up?" John
Henry proceeded to explain that the piece
of red flannel had gained him furlough,
The three youths held consultation of
war, Clipped in what little spare change
they could muster, went into dry goods
store, bought halfa yard of red flannel,
tore it in strips. and placed it around
their necks. In just twenty minutes from
that time three more boys were ordered
out of the school room on the ground that
they were threatened with diphtheria.-

The moral power of pure and noble
life, lived in even the humblest conditions,
is thus beautifully portrayed by Mr..
Beecher:
"A person standing in community
and living n true life, even if he never
speaks and is never spoken to, leavens that
community. There is no gift that you
can make. there is no building that you
can put up, there is no pyramid, however
enduring, comparable to that Of illustrating
how to carry human nature in commu-
nifty higher than it ever has been or could
be carried before. To introduce higher
mode Of living in Il community, and let it
stand i'll people see that it is possible, is
to bless that community to IN extent
which no man can measure and which
only God knows. How much of ourselves
goes into other people to repress evil, how
much to incte good, and how much to re-
fine and inspire, who can tello If carry

streets of New York, up and down. shall

sweet and gentle woman who works dis

with selfdenial, for another; who. above

from her work, does not lose faith; and
who, standing over what seems to her to
be the wreck of all that she hoped for AS
the result of her endeavor, can say

TIE Snow BREAKER.-Th Truckee
Republican says: The loose snow drifts
deeply between Truokee and Sierraville.
Tbs mail is carried tri-weekly, hence the
road has to be travelled one way each day.
During the heavy winter weather the
sleigh which carries the mail is drawn by
three horses driven tandem. By this
means single broad path is beaten in the
middle of the road. When the storms are
raging it is necessary to carry the mail on
horseback. Its average weight is from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
pounds each trip. The mail bags are
strapped on two horses which are led bv
the driver, Sol Rosseau, who rides third
horse. A fourth horse with only halter
on is turned loose to break the road. This
horse is kept for this sole purpose, and is
called the " snow breaker" For six win.

Valley road. Turned loose at either
Truckee or Sierraville, he will at once SET
