The Three Flowers.

Near the city of Rome, IN Italy, not far
from the church of st. Paul, upon the
River Tiber, there is the old monastery of
the "Three Flowers" In consequence of
the new laws upon ecclesiastical property
the monastery was appropriated by the
Italian government, but rented out again
to the Trapplsts, Catholic order of very
strict observance, who had settled at the
spot about twelve years previously, and
were engaged in pursuits most useful to
the country. The monastery is situated
upon the borders of the Campagna, that
pestiferous district as yet urredeemed by
the agrlculturist. There reigned, there
fore, in the place, the malaria of the
neighborhood, which rendered il uDinha5-
liable during the hot season,-that is, in
July and August, st,-which time the former
inhabitants or the monastery had always
been compelled to spend in the city of
Rome. The Trappists did not like taking
forced holidays in that manner, but CON-
menced planting the eucalyptus tree in
very large numbers, and, strange 10 Say,
the tree overpowered the malaria, the air
continued good for breathing in summer
time, and the Trappists are now able to
remain in their residence all the year
round. That excellent result led to the
raising Of the question whether it would
not be possib e to get rid of all the malaria
of the Campagna by raising plantations of
the eucalyptus tree all over that most valu-
able ground in the most fertile region of
Italy, and i'll that way gain room for an
immense population OF agriculturists. In
order TO carry out that idea, it possible,
the Italian government now furnish these
pioneer Trappists with laboring hands
from the states prisons, and the monks
now go on extending their eucalyptus
groves from their monastery through the
regions of the Campagna

The Kissing Game.

A correspondent gives this account of a
pretty game of cards now fashionable in
Paris. The participants were young ladies
and gentlemen who sat in equal numbers
on either side of the table. The cards
were dealt TO each, and one hand, as in
euchre, settled tine wager. The wager
played for In this game is that the lady or
gentleman who gets the ace OF hearts and
can take trick with it, or beat it with
another card, has the option TO kiss any
lady or gentleman he or shemay select. If
lady Is the winner of the successful trick,
this option nay be used ornot as she elect.
and generally she does waive her right;
but If gentleman holds the lucky card, OF
course he invariably exercises his right
The result was that u gentleman when he
held the ace of hearts was sure to get it
passed; If g lady held it she almost always
had it taken. 1t was quite study to watch
with what perfect sang troid the gentleman
stood up TO receive the stake he had Won,
and with what consummate grace the lady
bent her head to one side so that her lucky
opponent across the table should receive
bis full pound of flesh; not to meation the
utter indifference of both to the presence
of friends or strangers sitting around, l do
not know how the players felt but the
watching of q few hands played was suffi-
cient 10 satisfy me that 1t was but poor
game after all. How it came about. do
not know, but l saw one gentleman win
six games in rapid succession and kiss the
same lady many times. That destroyed
all interest had up to that point taken in
the game. 1t satisfied me that it was q
game in which the cards could be 80 man

The Danish Princes of 1649.

In the year 1868, the Chancellor OF Scot
land, Andrew Stuart, was instructed by
James Ill 10 negotiate marriage between
the Young monarch and the Princess Mar
garet, daughter of Christian l., King OF
Denmark. Christian l. was the founder
of the illustrious house OF Oldenburgh,
whose descendants have ever since occu-
pied the Danish throne. When the pre-
liminaries were arranged, the kings
brother-in-law, a member of the powerful
family of the Boyds, was sent In ship,
in the autumn Uf that year, TO bring the
princess TO Scotland, and in the spring OF
1870 Danish fleet was seen off tine Scot
t;sh coast, bringing home the royal bride.
The marriage was solemnized on July 10.
I7iO. King Christian engaged to bestow
with his daughter sixty thousand Rhenlsh
florins as dover; but owing to his being
engaged in a war with Sweden, he was un-
able al that time to pay more than two
tn usand, and, By way of pledge, gave the
Orkney and afterward the Shetland Isles,
which he was never able to redeem, and
consequently those islands became lost to
the Danish crown. Tie marriage was
promoted by France, which aimed at uni
Ting Scandinavia and Scotland in league
against England. For this purpose Louis
Xl. effected q marriage between his
daughter, the Princess Jeanne, and
Younger son of the DANISH King, Duke
Hans. the princess afterward became

Aypodermic Inj, ctioas Of Morphine.

A number of persons more or less promi-
nent in different walks of life have died
Within few months from the direct ef-
feet, it is said, of hypodeImic injections of
morphine. Most of them had, according
to reports, begun the injections in order TO
relieve themselves of pam caused by neu-
ralgia, rheumatism or some other distress
iLg disorder. The effect was so pleasant,
50 delicious, indeed, that they were gradu-
ally seduced into spch use of morphine
when they had no need of Its use, and, soon
completely yielding to it, were destroyed

1T was during the great worlds fair of
1851, as our readers will remember, that
the lock controversy, as 1t has been called,
file d the pages of our scientific journals
and set all the mechaniclans in the king
dom pondering upon the means of defying
the skill of the professional violater. Ii
was then that the celebrated American ex-
pert, Mr.. Hobbs, made the memorable and
alarming celebration, that all the locks
which had hitherto been made in England
admitted of being easily picked. :.
One Of these Of perfect workmanship, and
of the most, improved construction, was
shown 10 Mr.. Hobbs during visit he was
making to celebrated lock mandatory.
Its advantages were being descanted on
its entire independence of key or other
separate instrument-the length of tiue it
would take to put it thr ough its millions
of peimutations-andt the consequent utter
impossibIlity Of getting it open by any
illegitimate means-short Of wrenching or
saving its Parts asunder. As the CONVEX
sation proceeded, Mr.. Hobbs was turning
the instrument about, apparently in an un-
concerned manner, with his fingers, and in
few minutes from the time he first had
possession of it, to the great amazement
and conservation of those who we're sound
ing its praises, he showed them the lock
open in his hand. If miracle had hap
pened they could not have been more
astonished. From that moment all faith
was shaken in the presumed impregnability
of the permutsting principle. The manner
in which MIR. Hobbs accomplished this feat
was as follows:-He first applied pressure
to the end of the bolt or central spindle, in
the direction tending 10 draw it out and re-
lease the bow. For tine purpose of picking
the lock, il is necessary thai continuous
pressure should be exeIted in this direction,
pulling, as it were, against the interior OBJ
stacles pr, sentsd to the withdrawal of the
spindle with itsetuds. Toa clever manipu
lator like MIR. Hobbs, there would be no
difficulty in maintaining this gentle pres
sure with the fingers of one hand, even
while curious eyes were watching his move
nents; under other circumstances bent
spring would best answer the purpose. The
spindle being thus acted upon, the interior
studs, if the mechanism of the lock were
absolutely perfect, would all be pressing
equally upon the sides of the rings; but it
was at that time practically impossible,
even if its Importance had been foreseen,
which 1t was not, to make a lock with such
extreme accuracy and nicely In its fitting
parts as that some of the rings should not
bind more than others. Mr. Hobbs then
felt cautiously and dellcately which of the
rings was tlghtest, by which be knew that
one of the studs was pressing against it.
He then turned that ring very gently round
until he felt the stud slightly jump into
the transverse groove. Leaving it care
fully there he felt for the next tigbtest
ring. and repeated the operation, and thus
by turns, aided by a most delicate sense of
touch, he got the transverse grooves all
together in line, and the spindle came

Annual Production OF fuel.

The severity of the last winter, the high
price of soft coal, and the difficulty OF oD-
tanning it. have caused the farmers in the
northwestern States to use large number
of substances for fuel not ordinarily en-
ph yed- In some parts of Minnesota stalks
OF hemp cut IN pieces, lave been used in
place of wood for feeding stoves The
Mennonite settlers in that and other States
have burned prairie hay in furnaces especi-
ally constructed for its consumption. In
some parts of Kansas and Nebraska the
leaves, stalks and heads of the giant or
Russian suntiower have been employed for
fuel with excellent results. The leaves
contain rosin and the seeds are rich in oil.
These substances ignite readily ard pro-
duce beautiful fame. In producing a
cheerful fire on a cold winter night there
are few things that equal the heads of the
sunhower. The plants are cheaply raised
and easily prepared for the stove and CRATE
The ashes produced from tlem are very
rich in potash, and are accordingly valua-
bic for soap making or for manuring the
soil. In Iowa, il Is said, more corn has
been used for fuel than during any winter
since the State was settled. Carefully con-
Quoted experiments made in various partso of
the State show that at the present price of
corn and coal, there is gain of 80 per cent.
in burning the former. Farmers who burn
corn save the trouble of husking and the
cost of transporting 1t to market, and Of
bringing back coal. There is a prejudice
in the minds of many people against burn
ing corn, as it Is valuable for food for man
and most of the domestic animals. In Eng
land there is similar prejudice against the
use of wood for fuel, as timber is valuable
for building houses and constructing car
riages, while the growing trees add to the
beauty and healihfulness Of the country.
These considerations, however, are likely
TO give way TO those OF an economic nA-
ture. When corn is cheaper article Of
fuel than coal, it is likely to be employed
for cooking and heating PURPOSES
