Flowers that Grow IN the Shade

This question is asked every Spring
by. scores Of city people, whose little
patch, which they wish to devote to
flowers, is SO walled up by neighboring
houses that the direct rays of the sun
never touch it. But few plants will de-
velop their flowers there, and none will
do it as well as if it were lighted up by
sunshine a part of the day. Fuchias,
pansies, forget-me-nots, viole.s, lobeIias,
lilies Of the valley, rhloxes, and other
horbaceous plants, whose native habitat
is shady wood, will do best, but even
these languish, if denied ell direct sun
light. The best effect in such situations
is produced by ornamental leaved plants,
the beauty Of which is not dependent
upon their fowera Among these may
be ranked. the gold and silver variegated
leaved geraniums, achryanthus, alternan-
theras, begonias, oaladiums, csntanreas,
coleusses, ETC., which, il planted 70 as
to bring the various shades in contrast,
produce . pleasing effect, which con-
tinues during the entire Summer months
and is not surpassed by any display Of
bowers.

morning"
The fashionable hour had now arrived
and bathers came swarming in by the
dozens The reporter took several sly
peeps, and others that were not so sly at
the panorama in the bath. The entire
area of WATERWAYS alive with youth, beauty
old age, gray hairs, 300 pound women,
little l6.pound children, slender and
sylphlike Calopsus, Oriental eyed He
brews from Lexington avenue - all
mingling with their anatomy together in
ever change of poetry-alive and kick
ing and swimming in glorious healthy
way that would make doctor sick for
a month. The reporter was introduced
to some of the more venerable visitors
and were surprised to learn that they
were good swimmers. Miss Harvey
said that more than three-fourths of
those who came could swim and some of
them were really expert. Near the CEN
tire of the bath the sight was interesting
and life giving. A "kid" not more
than six years old was splashing around
on its mothers breast. She was SWIM
ming on her back and her strokes were
powerful enough to put an end to
all discussion with a refractory husband.
"She weighs 275 pounds" remarked
Senior Fernandez.
Near the feshy lady swam little
jointed, gray ilai, ed woman, with spec
tacles dashed ON her nose. She pro-
PEELED herself with the genuine frog
stroke and at times put in some fancy
work to show the young people what an
old lady could do. Some of the poor
girls wore only a sort of skeleton chem
Use, and it made one sympathize with
them in their poverty. Among these
sheeted ghosts were misses in tights and
rich women in embroidered skin-tight
suits of the latest Cape May patterns.
One of the best divers stayed under
water three minutes She was absent
so long that Sonora suggested she had
gone to Coney Island to return by the
boat. A group Of girls standing by one
of the dressing rooms spoke of presi-
Dental candidate as living so near the
water that his nose was always cold, and
therefore the keeper wouldn't admit him
on mems day. One woman who came
had hard work to find a suit large
enough for her body. At last, one was
found so expansive that it took the po-
liceman's breath away, who was stand
ing by. 1t just fitted her, and measured
two yards in circumference, or two feet
in diameter. The airy creature robed
herself AS if for feast and then DELHI
erately jumped into the water, making
the bath house tremble on its centre, and
every time she kicked she disturbed the
water as if whale were interviewing an
iceberg without lantern.

Value of Discipline at Sea.

Nj. w. Fraser Rae tells an exciting
little story in connection with voyage
by the Cunard steamer Atlas few
Winters ago. The vessel had reached
mid-ocean, and one night, while the pas
sengers were amusing themselves in the
saloon by reading or playing cards, chess
or draughts, the weather being too
rough to admit of their walking the
deck, the boatswain came down and
whispered the ominous words, "The
ship is on fire, Sir" in the captains ear.
The captain at once went on deck, and
was followed by others to whom he had
communicated the intelligence. There
they saw thick volume of dense smoke
rising from the forward hatch. One of
them returned to the saloon and told
the horrible news. Anxiety was mani
tested as to how soon the fire would be
extinguished; but there was little ex-
element and no sign of panic, most of
the players resamlng their games and
the readers returning to their books.
Confidence was evidently felt that every
thing mortals could do to avert calam'
ity would Be performed. In the steer
age, OH the contrary, there was ignor-
ance without self possession; women
shrieked, men run about in aimless des-
pair. The first class passengers, who
wished to make themselves useful, and
offered to aid the crew, were asked to
help in carrying the terror stricken men
and women and children from the steer
age, where they were in the way, to the
poop, where they would giveless trouble.
These passengers refused to be comfort
ed or to be quiet their groans and lam
entations alone disturbed the apparent
harmony of the hour.
The crew and officers were as cool and
reticent as if nothing unusual had hap
pened. The officer on duty walked the
bridge, giving his entire attention to
navigating the ship; the men on the
lookout were at their posts, the engin-
GERS were in their places in the engine
room; the stewards were at their work,
indeed the business of the ship went OH
like clock work, while fire was raging
in the hold, and all on board were in
jeopardy At the end of half an hour
the boatswain said the ladies might be
informed that the danger was nearly
over; in truth, the fire had been thor
oughly mastered; and all the danger was
at an end. 1t was ascertained that the
fire had been caused by the ignition of
some combustibles which had been
shipped contrary to the company's regu'
lations.

It Was Hot.

A good-natured Griswold-street law
yer left his Office unoccupied for ali hour
about . o'clock one afternoon, and
some of the iokers went in and built up
rousing hot fire in his coal stove. He
came back with his hat in his hand and
almost dead with the heat, and was met
on the stairs by lawyer, who said:
"rhis is the hottest yet. The Their
mometer in my room makes l20 de-
grees"
"Don't seem possible, though it's a
scorcher," replied the other, as he went
to his room.
He threw down his hat, took off his
coat and began tanning himself; but the
harder he famed the hotter be grew.
Two or three lawyers came in and spoke
about how cool his room was compared
to theirs, and were greatly puzzled to
account for it. Several offers were made
him to change rooms, and pretty soon he
grew ashamed of appearing so over
heated, and sat down to his table. In
FIVE minutes his shirt collar fell fiat, and
in ten he hadn't any starch in his shirt.
The perspiration ran about in every d.
rection, and he seemed to be boiling,
when one of his friends looked in and
remarked:
"Ah old boy, envy yon. You've
got .he coolest room in the block"
Say" said the lawyer, as he stag
gered over to the door, "I'm going home.
