EIGHT Times Their Weinht in Gold

Following is an extract from an article
IN Scribner'S Maga2ine, on practical
Agriculture" by Peter Henderson:
The cut-hower business, another phase
of Horticulture, is perhaps greater in the
United States than in any other part of
the world. Certainly the use of cut
flowers in New York, for bouquets, bas-
kets, and other designs, far greater than
in either London or Paris, and the taste
shown IN their arrangement here is vast
ly superior. 1t is estimated that three
millions of dollars were paid for cut
flowers in New York in 1880, one-third
of which was for buds. Immense
glass structures are erected in the sub
urbs for the special purpose of growing
cut-fowers to supply the bouquet-mak-
ers of the city. Not less than twenty
acres of glass surface is devoted to the
purpose of forcing roses alone, during
the winter months. At some seasons the
prices paid for these forced rose-buds
are perfectly astounding. One grower,
of Madison, New Jersey, took into New
York three hundred buds of the GRIM
son rose known as General Jacquemi-
not, for which he received at wholesale,
three hundred dollars, and which, no
doubt were retailed at a dollar and fifty
cents or two dollars each. A flower
dealer in Fourteenth street, few days
before Christmas, received the only four
of this same variety of rose that were
offered in the city, and found a custo-
mer for them at sixty dollara, or fifteen
dollars apiece, or eight times the value
Of their weight in gold

The Pius of MandaIay

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing about the Burmese capt
tai, says:
The pigs are the scavengers of the
city. They eat up all the filth and
garbage and lave funds left for their
support by pious individuals, whose last
wish on earth is to see such useful ami
mails put beyond the reach Of starvation.
If 1T were not for the swine, Mandalay
would be areeking hot-bed of pestilence.
AS matters are, the gaunt animals occa-
sionally find their efforts to consume the
garbage of the place overtaxed, even
when conioined with the efforts of their
coadjutors, the vultures, kites and
parlahs, and the result is that, when the
rains fall, the animal matter and vegeta-
ton are left rotting in the sun, Mandalay
is stricken with cholera, and thousands
of human beings are carried off daily I'M

pearance of dry and disinfecting wealth

DR.. Watts affirms it is, to kill fly, bnt
it is certainly crime of no ordinary

AFTER paying the expenses, which are given
by the English committee as 500, 900, for work
thus far done on both TestameDts, all other
profits go the University press publishers, who
at the outset in lieu of the copyright, guaran-
teed all expenses to the revisors tGen. The
American committee, however, does not receive
and will not get one cent. It's expenses, not
for labor. but for travel, correspondence sta
tionery, ETC., have been paid by private sub
scrpuons up to this time. The profits must, it
Is thought, be very great if the Oxford pub

dred thousand sent to this country. The diff
ferent styles OF the New Testament are sold
cheaper in the United States than they are in
England, Canada, and the colonies, because of
the lack of international copyright here.

AN old preacher used to say that read
ing the Bible was like eating fish. When
he came to a hard place he left it and
called it bone. The older he grew the
fewer the bones he found, until when he
came to be an old man, the book that he
used to find as full of bones as a herring
was like hallibut, with only one big
bone in it of Gods incomprehensibility,
and that was in such plain sight that no
one could stumble over it, and grandly
served its purpose as a strong frame
work to keep the sweet, white, nutritious
meat in its place.

A SERIES of old scandals has been recalled
to the memory of Parisians by the death of
Alfred Musard. His famous wife died two years
ago in madhouse. During the latter part of
her life time much surprise was excited by the
richness of her diamonds and equipages. It was
at last discovered that her husband used to con-
vey her to the Dutch frontier, where a post
chaise conveyed her to the hunting box of the
king of Holland, from which she would return
In about three days laden with riches. Nine.

HE French government has notified the sec
rotary of state that no toys colored with poi
sonous substances will be allowed to be exposed
for sale in France, and all foreign toys of that
character will be stopped on the frontier. The
example of the French government is one that
ought to be followed here. Cheap toys are
generally painted gorgeously to catchs.th eyeof
children, and very young children want to test
everything on which they lay their hands by
tasting it. The consequence is that to put
poisonous paint ON toy is about as dangerous
to life as it would be to poison public well.
