Cut Flowers.

The cut-fOwer business, says ScriJner's
Monthly, 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 and other designs, is far
greater thun in either London or Paris and
the taste shown in their arrangement here is
vastly superior. 1t is estimated that $3,0OO-
900 were paid out for cut-fowers in $780, one
third of which was for rosebuds. Immense
glass structures are erected in the suburbs
for the special purpose of growing outflow
ers to supply the bouquet-makers of the
city. No less than twenty acres of glass sur
face are devoted to the purpose Of forcing
roses alone, during the winter months At
some seasons the prices paid for those forced
is perfectly astounding One grow
er of Madison, n. j., took into New York
300 buds of the crimson rose known as the
General Jacqueminot," for which he receiv-
ed at wholesale $500, and which, no doubt,
were retailed at $1.5O to 81 each. flower
dealer in Fourteenth street, few days be-
fore Christmas, received the only four of this
variety OF rose that were offered in New
York and found customer for them at $50,
Or SIS apiece, or eight times the value of
their weight in gold.

Eedlan.

The term "Bedlam" SO often applied to
lunatic asylums, is merely a corruption of
Bethlem, a hospital of that name having
been set apart in London, three centuries ago,
for the treatment of such patients. 1t need
hardly be mentioned that insanity is dis
ease due to high mental cultivation. In
Scotland the proportion is one to 562, while
in England where there is less culture, it is
one to 7S3. In our own country it is one to
$50. 1t is never found, however, among bar
barians. There arc but few lunatics in In
dia, and in countries deprived of political
liberty, such as Italy and Austria, the pro-
portion is very small. Among the more
noted instances may be mentioned George
Ill, whose mind was disordered during the
last thirty years Of his life DR.. Brown,
former superintendent of the Bloomingdale
Asylum, became Il victim of the disease
he was treating, and the constant study of
insanity led to his own mental wreck. Hor-
race Greeleys case is too well known to re-
Quire detail. 1t is evident his mind was
crushed by the distress occasiOned by the
political error into which he fell. Gerritt
Smith, the famous philanthrOpist, was at
one time deranged, and was during his at
tack an inmate of the Utica Asylum. James
Otis, the revolutionary patriot, became de-
ranged in his latter days. and, while in this
condition. was killed by a stroke of light
ming. American statesmen have been re-
markably exempt from this calamity.

Cunning of the Eumming-blrd.

\ friend has informed me of an instance
in her experience where the humming- bird
has shown more cunning than its little brain
would seem capable OF manufacturing The
incident occurred in Vineland New Jersey.
In an unused apartment of the house where
the lady was staying, one of the huge spiders
common in that region had built its strong
web unmOlested. Passing into the room
one summer day, she spied ruby throat,
which had flown in through the open vine
clad window, struggling frantically in the
net of Dame Arachnid. The more the bird
1uttered the worse were his tilmy wings en-
tangled and tettered in the spiders meshes;
and unlese help had been given there is little
doubt how the catastrophe would have ended.
The lady hurried to the relief of the piteOus
prisoner, and handling it with the utmost
care, freed it from the coils fastened to it's
feathers and binding its feeble members
AS the bird lay in her palm at the end of the
operation, it gave to or three gaping breaths
and was still Every muscle relaxed as in
dissolution. The kind hearted liberator suf-
fered pang of distress from the conviction
that she had killed the delicate creature by
too rude touch. After some moments of
truitless mourning she laid the limp body
down and turned sadly away. Quicker than
thought the little trickster unfurled it's
wings and shot out of the window Had it
swOOned from fright in the lady's hand and
with the change of position? or
had it actually feigned death, in order to
facilitate escape, as some larger birds are
known to do?

The Female RevOIutiOnists.
IBoston Advertiser.

Boston Advertiser.
Miss Lecomte, of Philadelphia, and Mile.
Michel, of Paris, were the chief luminaries
of the Revolutionary Congress" lately held
in London, where several other nationalities
were also represented. With the red flag
flying over their heads, these amiable women,
with voices hardened and shrill but other
wise none the worse for wear, declared that
the time for agitation by speaking and writ
ing had come to an end. In America, sad
our alleged countrywoman, what had been
gained the last few years had come through
violence, and violence was the weapon that
must be used now. Her French comrade
was more dramatic and quite as bloodthlrsty
For ten year she had dreamed of the coming
storm which would destroy the last throne
and the last altar. Mile. Michel is described
as about fifty years old, deeply sunburnt, and
not specially impressive as speaker, though
she raised the rafters when she declared that
the coming revolution was the beginning of
the exploitation of the entire earth by the
whole human race"

How the Pope Lives.

Pope Leo AliI. rises winter and summer
at o'clock, and generally celebrates mass in
his private chapel. At he takes cup of
coffee or chocolate with an egg beaten in it.
After this he takes walk, either in the gar
dens OF the vatican or in the galleries. He
looks and comments on everything like a
true and subtle observer. Nothing escapes
his notice. At he receives his Secretary of
State, Cardinal Mini, and the days business
begins. He signs documents and letters,
and receives in audience firstly, the cardi-
mails, then apostolic congregations the eccles-
iastics who have been granted special
audience, and then he receives the secular
Catholics. According to the length of the
audiences the dinner takes place. His din
ner is very frugal. 1t consists of chicken
broth mostly; then the broiled chicken is
served. He rarely eats other meats He likes
pears and cheese. He drinks couple of
glasses of red wine. He does not take coffee
after the meal. After dinner he sleeps
awhile, in his armchair mostly. He then
enters his studio and confers with his under
secretaries, writers, reads and signs petitions,
and gives orders. He then takes another
walk, accompanied this time by suite of
cardinals and other familiars of his court.
When tired he sits in the first armchair or
other seat that he meets with, and then the
walk changes into conversation or literary
lecture. The Pope is very learned in litera-
ture, both italian and French. He speaks
elegantly. He has an elegant memory, and
sometimes recites verses of Lamartine and
Victor Hugo. He does not read many news
papers. On table lies open Treves' large
bible, illustrated by Gustave Dore Occa-
sionally when he rises from his table he casts
his eye on the volume, and sometimes he re-
mains in contemplation before it. After this
secend walk the Pope retires to his apart
ments and remains an hour in reading with
his chamber prelate, and then he resumes
public business for the last time in the day
During the evening he gives his attention to
the interior arrangements of the vatican.

COFFEE FOR A TROTTER.
The StimuIant That Forced Midnight
to the Front at Buffalo.

Horsemen are talking about Mr. Myren p
Bush's experiment with the trotter Midnight
that won the $4,000 purse at Buffalo The
race was for the 2:15 class, mile heats, best
three in five in harness. So So won the first
heat in 2:2O9, but was distanced on the
second, Midnight winning that heat easily in
219. Before the start for the third heat
Midnight was strong favorite over the
field. At the word he went to the front
wildly and he kept breaking throughout
the heat. Charley Ford won in a jog in 2198
This unexpected result demoralixed the
Midnight party, who, thinking Midnight
out of the race. hurried to the pool box to
hedge their bets. Mr.. Bush, Mr.. John Shaw,
of California, and Mr.. George B. Alley, of
New York. saw that something was wrong
with the horse, and had his shoes removed.
"No harm in that, gentlemen" said Mr..
Bush. THAT will help the horse no doubt.
But in my opinion he is weak or tired from
the effects of tearing his boots off or from
cutting and humping his ankles. I propose
that we give him quart of coffee. 1t will
stimulate and strengthen him"
The others laughed at the proposition at
first, but Mr.. Bush insisted, and the coffee
was administered Mr. Shaw asked Orrin
Hickock to drive Midnight, but he refused,
saying: Edwards knows the horse, and he
is the man to drive him." To the surprise
of the sceptics Midnight recovered, went off
well and won the heat easily in 800
Mr.. Bush then had pint more coffee
given to Midnight to keep him in trim for
the last heat. From the word "Go!p Mid
night drew away to the lead, coming home
fast and strong, and won the heat and race
in POI.
The turfmen present were astOnished at
the effect attributed to the doses of coffee
Heretofore spirits of wine had been used in
such cases, but of the use of coffee they had
never heard

ALPHA CENTAURI.
Something About the Nearest Star.

In an interesting article on Southern stars
reprinted in Science, Mr.. Pope, of New Zea-
land, describes Alpha Cenauri, the known
nearest fixed star to the earth. This mag
nlficent double star, he says is the finest OBJ
ject of the kind in the heavens. Besides be-
ing hinaro star of very short period, every
one knows that Alpha Centauri is our next
neighbor among the stars, and that it was
the first to give up the secret of its parallax
under direct transit circle observations The
color OF this star is strow yellow, or some
times golden yellow, according to the state
OF the atmosphere. When there is haze, of
course the smaller star is somewhat more
affected by it than the larger. This tends to
give it a slight brownish tint when the sky
is not clear. Alpha Centauri is star of the
second class. Its spectrum is very like that
OF the sun. Even the principal dark lines
are line, and they apparently occupy the
same relative positions as do the well known
lettered lines in the solar spectrum.
There can be little doubt, in fact that the
physical constitution Of this great star is, in
most respects, the same as that of the sun.
1t is probable, however, that Alpha Centauri
is less developed than the sun, for, as Mr.
Proctor has pointed out, its light is brighter
than its mass would lead us to expect it
to be, Judging from the light of our sun as
compared with this mass. While the mass
of the star is to the mass of the sun as 81
the light of the star is to the light Of the sun
as 81. Now, if it is true, as physicists have
good ground for believing, that the sun IS,
and has been, very slowly but surely losing
his heat, just as our earth has most certainly
lost an enormous amount Of hers, there must
have been q time when the sun and his sys-
tenn were less developed, but far hotter and
brighter than they are now-when they
formed, probably, white star-that is to
say. there was, quite possibly, time when
the light from our sun bore the same rela- |
ton to his mass as the light from Alpha /
Centauri bears now to his mass. We may
also believe that matters are less advanced
N the planets (if there are any of this neigh
boring system than they are with US.

Marriage Customs.

Before the Reformation widow was ii
rected by the rubric to give her gloved band
to the bridegroom, whereas maiden re-
moved the glove-a less expressive matter
than the giving and receiving of the ring,
which is said to have been Jewish usage
from time immemorial, and pointing back,
no doubt, to the time when the ring and sig
net were one and the same. The exhcange of
rings, sometimes practiced in Europe, is also
Jewish, though the distinction made the
brides ring being of silver, but the groom's
to her Of gold-seems questionable. The
kissing Of the bride by the bridegroom as a
part of the ceremony was so important in
the Eastern world, and even in the Justinian
code, as to be solemnly provided for, and
made a necessary element in legal mar
riage, The Westerns have dropped it as an
unnecessary form. Another popularity of the
Eastern church, as seen in the Greek ritual
is that the Presbyter, who solemnizes second
marriage does not join the party at the
wedding feast, and so important was this
thought that it formed the subject of canoni-
cal legislation. Second marriages, while not
forbidden, have been discouraged in the
Greek church, and are absolutely forbidden,
it is well known, to the clergy. The ce1e-
mony, for it is according to Dr. Bingham,
who has given the results of his studies on
this subject to the world, of general secon-
dairy character"
A singular difference exists among the
great branches of the Anglo-Saxon race on
the time and place of marriage. In Great
Britain the place is, as q rule, the church
the wedding in a private house is
a matter for special license. The time is
usually in the forepart of the day. In Ire
land the Episcopalans must be married be-
fore noon, while Presbyterians have the time
to 2 o'clock, unless in both cases
special license is obtained-a step commonly
taken only by the richer persons in the COM
munity. In America, on the other hand, it |
is well known, time and place are left to the
will of the parties, and the wedding break
fast" is not the uniform thing it is in Great
Britain. One good result of the European
plan is that secret, irregular marriages are
less easy than in days when minis
ers used to be reused from their beds to
marry young people. But there is no good .
without some drawback. The wedding
breakfast in Great Britain entails an amount |
