A French Flower Doctor,

london Globe.
The seed is sown, and the young
plants, as they peep out, have to be
transplanted. Herein is said to be one
of the arts of gardening. The expert
enced man can distinguish between the
young plants which will praduce double
and single blossoms. A choice has to
be made, unless the horticluturlst
wishes to run the risk of losing the
benefit of his labors by producing sim
Gle flowers when double ones only are
in demand. With wall-howers and
asters more than ordinary care is re-
auired, and the florist who cannot Judge
for himself has to have recourse to the
services of the essimpleur, who goes
about from garden to garden giving
consultations and advice in the same
manner as a doctor calls on his patients
and gives them the benefit of his supe-
rir knowledge, writing out prescrip-
tions. etc. As fast as one flower is
done with it is replaced by another, for
the maxim of the gardener is never TO
allow any portion of his ground to re,
main idle. The essimpleur has learned
how to become q prophet in his own
country, he is looked up to by his fel,
low men, his opinions, technical and
political, are respected, and honors are
showered on him with o lavish hand,

A GhouIish Business.


The story would be incredible but
for its being officially authenticated
that in this city there is Il class of men
calling themselves undertakers who
make business Of obtaining certain
sums of money from impoverished and
bereaved parents TO bury their infant
offspring, and then, no relative attend-
ing the funeral, deposit the nude body
of the babe in an old cast off box IN
the yard of the commissioners of charl-
ties and correction for transfer in the
dead wagon to the morgue. What be-
comes of the tiny remains after that is
a matter for speculation. Weeks after
the fragments remaining on the dissect-
ing table may be gathered together and
thrown into u common receptacle
which has been replenished from half
a dozen subjects. This heterogeneous
mass of human flesh isneXt transferred
to the city cemetery on llart's island,
where it is deposited in n capacious
hole dug for the occasion. In the
meantime the undertaken pockets his
fee and goes on his way rejoicing that
he has performed a shrewd stroke OF
| business.

The Coming Fish Supply.
Af..,tt,,

The fish commission is doing great
work in increasing the supply of valu-
able fishes. For fifty years until the
organization of this commission there
had been gradual determination of
fish everywhere so that many of our
streams and lakes were nearly lished
out. The commission thought. it did
well last season in providing some fifty
millions young shad. But this year it
has perfected arrangements by which
it can hatch twenty millions Of shad at
one time as often as once a week,
1--WE shall" says its report, "be disap-
pointed if we don't hatch from two to
three hundred millions of shad during
the season. Again the report says,
1--WE shall probably hatch forty millions
of white fish for the lakes this year"
The commission has two steamers and
four steam barges in addition 10 the
Matching steamer, and therefore is or
ganized and equipped for efficient and
comprehensive work.
In speaking of the German carp, the
report says that this fish is of Chinese
origin and is to fish what the pig is to
mammals. In Germany there are 2OO,-
900 acres in carp ponds from which
those attending them realize large
profits. Carp sells for forty or fifty
cents pound. and is said to be always
in demand. The commission expects
to stock 10000 or 10000 ponds with
valuable fish this season.
There is said to be more Ioiit in carp
culture than in almost anything that Il
farmer can do, Prof. Baird says that
he expects to see carp culture one of
the most important industries in
America inside of twenty years.
Considering how the American peO-
pie by quick and continuous thinking
are exhausting their brains and nerves,
il is encouraging to know that we are
to have an increase of that class of
food which is best calculated in the
minds of scientists to sustain excessive
brain and nerve work. If fish can be
supplied in abundance and at Il low
price it will undoubtedly largely sup
plant some kinds of food which we can
advantageously dispense with. There
is certainly great intemperance in meat
eating. In using the term meat in this
place of course we have reference to
beef, mutton and pork. In the heats
of sumner, particularly, food of this
character is quite too heatingand slim
ulatng.

Strong or Weak Men.

Robertson
We mistake strong feeling to be
strong character. A man who bears
all before him-before whose frown
domestics tremblc and whose bursts of
fury make the children of the house
quake-because he has his will obeyed,
and his own way in all things,we call
him a strong man. The truth is he is n
weak man; it is his passions that are
strong; he, mastered by them, is weak.
You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those
which subdue him. And hence COM
posure is very often of the highest result
of strength. Did we ever see man
receive flat grand insult, and only
grow little pale and then reply quiet
"? That was Il man spiritually
strong. Or did we ever see a man in
anguish, stand as if carved out of solid
rcck, mastering himself? Or ont
bearing hopeless daily trial, remain
silent and never tell the world what II
was that cankered his home peace
That is strength. He who, with strong
passions, remains chaste-he who
keenly sensitive, with manly powe
and Indignation in him, can be pro
vokcd, and yet can restrain himsel
and forgive-these are strong men, spir
| itual heroes.

a Brief Retrosnect

New YORK Hour
But let us put on our thinking cap
and what a change comes over the
spirit of our dreaml Eighty-four
years ago when John Lydecker, Char
les P. Clinch and Thurlow Weed were
born, there was not a railway nor To-
comotive engine on the face of the
earth. Lighting by gas was faint and
feeble; there were no lucifer matches /;
soda water and cigars were recent inno-
vations, and newspapers-the present
necessity of civilized life-were scarce
and dear. Politically eighty-four years
ag. seems as far away as the age of
bronze. In America there were no
Cincinnati, no Chicago and very
little New York. In Europe Napoleon
was laundering at the gates of king
doms; Belgium was an appendage of
Holland; the people held temporal
power; Greece had no existence; Athens
was governed by pashas, and Wal
laclIia, Moldavia, Servia and Roumella
had not their apparently eternal sleer
broken by any wild dreams of indepen-
dence. Pillory and whipping-post Ill
stood for women in England.

to fellow passenger, as they passed
through Lewisville, a bit of experience
connected with that station worth re-

night storms so frequent last summer.
The violence of the wind had detached
the trunk quadrupleX wire, used for
New York business, and the testing in
strument located the break at the first
pole west of Lewisville. Mr. Wallack
called up the operator there, and or
dered the break to be fixed.

Well Said,

FOrncy'S PrOGrc
Though goodness and evil are Of Al
separate character and nature, yet they
are often mingled together in more
or less degree, and manifest their con-
fused and inconsistent condition in
action and effects.
BE man ever 50 good there is al-
ways some room for improvement.
Like the diamond, the alloy must be
removed before the full brightness and
clealness of goodness are visible and
displayed. The churlish elf evil, peeps
out of goodness and smiles for the
GOOD company he is in. The tempting
spirit is never at rest, and cannot be
kept down. He who will pursue
Il persistent and exact course in
life to all men, regardless of all self i'll
tcrest, will do more to amelioratc So
ricty and elevate mankind than all the
teachers and advocates of morality.
Do unto others aS we wish done unto
ourselves is the immediate jewel Of
our souls, our peace and happiness.
| He is not strong or Il brave man, bul
possesses negative virtues, who rests on
the defensive and never sallicS out to
IN encounter.
lie is the true man, the hero, who is
stcadfast in his purpose, principles
and is willing to fall with them or by
them, and never falterS in his trust ~
duty, and goes to the goal with Il stout
heart and firm will, whether come;
veal or woe.
The abandonment or betrayal OF
friends is among the vicst of acts, mC
the guilty one is unworthy of respect ol
confidence. Friendship is our anchor
of hope, our second selves. There
should we rest there should we be tru'
to ourselves. Evil never lags or tires
but turks for the time and occasion Il
steal from good her promises and bless
ings. The conquest of Jerusalem ant
Constantinople by the Christians eX
hibited the most revolving crimes per
