Lilies and Snniiowers.

Oscar Wilde's visit to this country has
had the effect of largely increasing the
demand for lilies and sunfowers. The
city dealers report that three lilies and
five sunfowers are sold this year where
one of each was purchased last year
The lily certainly is one of the most
beautiful and fragrant of ali the flowers
in the garden, but so far as looks 60 the
sunfower is not particularly aesthetic
There are many whos believe that the
sunfower is useful plant. There is a
mammoth Russian variety, the seeds of
which are an excellent food for poultry
In a marshy soil the yield has been as
high as eighty bushels to the acre. Sun
flower seeds increase the number of eggs
which the hens lay, and the oil they
contain keeps the hens warm in winter,
while diet of sunfower seed adds to
the brilliancy of the plumage of birds.
Then, in marshy regions the great guam
titles of moisture sucked up by the sun
flowers ward off the attacks Of malaria
But then the sunhower is hardly suita
bic to make buttonhole bouquets or to
add to the attractiveness of floral shows

Origin of RIne Grass.


It may not be uninteresting to Oul
readers to know that blue grass, so IA
nous in Kentucky, was first raised in
Indiana at little Indian village called
Miami Village, on White River, IN Ham
ilton County. In the year 1871 John
and William Conner were stolen from
Pittsburg, Pa, and brought to this
village. John here became the chief
man among the Indians, and through
him we learn that blue grass was ma
tive of what is now Hamilton. In 1910
as General Harrison's army was return
ing South, they took quantities OF it to
Vincennes and Kentucky. and from
there it spread Judge Finch, of In
dianapolis, has often been heard to cor
roborate this statement, and it may be
accepted as correct that blue grass was
first raised in what was then known as
the Northwestern Territory, now Indi-
ana. -P1aiafetd (Lld) II, ogress.

An Intelligent Dog.


We witnessed an amusing sight one
FAY last week, caused by the ingenuity
OF Club, mastiff dog belonging to Mr..
Joe Oberfelder. Mr.. Oberfelder has, by
perseverance, conquered this dumb
beast, and has given him a sort of edu-
cation. If the wife of Mr.. Oberfelder
should want for anything while her hus-
band is at his place of business she
would place within the collar of the dog
the list of goods she wants or a message,
and would start him off to Mr. ODER
folders store. We were in the store one
day this week, and Club made his APP
pearance, bearing under his collar
note. The store being crowded, Mr..
Oberfelder did not notice his dog. The
dog, after trying IN all manner of means
customary among dogs, to attract his
masters attention, leaped upon the
counter, stood upon his hind legs and
placed mis- fore feet upon the breast Of
his master, and in beautiful way turned
his head about and revealed the message
beneath his collar. Mr. o. took it from
the dogs neck and found that it was
from his wife requesting him to send her
a copy of Chicago newspaper, which
he did. The dog, after receiving the
paper, dashed from the store and made
his way home, jumping the front fence,
which is about five feet high. This dog
is known over a greater part Of Nebraska
as being the smartest dog of the State.

A Child Victim Of IIyarophobia.

The victim was Ernest, the five-year.
old son of August Rosenthal an express
man living.at No so Fisk Street. Some
thing like two months ago the little fell
low was accidentally run over and had
his leg broken, aud for a long time was
confined to his house. About four weeks
ago the injured limb was so much better
that he was able to sit up, and, as he
seemed TO delight in sunshine and fresh
air, he was allowed 10 SIT outside the
door on every pleasant day. 1t was on
an occasion like this that he was enjoy

baskets OF meat that had been left stand
jnV on the sidewalk. Little Ernest, fear
full that the dog might carry off some OF
the meat. tried to drive him away. and,
crawling to the gate, he rose to his feet
and kickes3aat it. The brute was an ugly
one, and instead Of running away turned
on him, fIeT at him and BIT him on the

house, the boy was attacked by a terrible
spasm that lasted some time, and was
accompanied by copious frething al

Of the matter, physicians were hastily
summoned, butflrey could do nothing
beyond making his terrible suffering less
apparent. During the next few days
the commissions grew more and more
frequent, and it was found necessary to
lash the unfortunate little sufferer to q
sofa. He uttered strange cries and yelp.
like banks during these paroxysms, and
the sight of water would simply throw
him into the most awful commissions.

period of three days, death bringing a

Wesley,s Tact.


The following anecdote of the founder
of Methodism has, we believe, never
been published. 1t reaches US from 4
trustworthy source, and it illustrates in
a remarkable manner the mingled tact
and piety of that eminent man;
Although Wesley, ike the Apostles.
found that his preaching did not greatly
affect the mighty or the noble, still he
numbered some families of good position
among his followers. 1t was at the house
of one of these that the incident here
recorded took place. Wesley had been
preaching. and a daughter of a neigh
boring gentleman, a girl remarkable for
her beauty, had been profoundly inn
pressed BY his exhortations. After the
sermon Wesley was invited to this gem
tleman's house to luncheon, and with
himself one of his preachers was enter
tanned. The preacher, like many of the
class at that time, was a man of plain
manners, and not conscious of the re-
straint of good society. The fair young
Methodist sat beside him at the table,
aud he noticed that she wore a number
of rings. During a pause in the meal
the preacher took hold of the young
lady's hand. and raising it in the. air,
called Wesley's attention to the spark
ling Jewels. What DO you..thjFg ri
this, SIR. he said, s9for q AIEfff55'tlS5 :
hand?''
The girl turned crimson. For Wesley
with his known aud expressed aversion
to fincry, the question was peculiarly
awkward one. Bat the aged evangelist
showed tact which Chesterfield might
have envied- He looked up with quiet
benevolent smile, and simply said: ':Ih,
hand is very beautiful.
The blushing beauty had expected
something far different from reproo
wrapped up with such felicity in aeon
pliment. She had the good sense TO say
nothing; but when, few hours later
she again appearedin Wesley's presence
the beautiful hand was stripped of every
ornament exceptthose which nature haC
given. Society.
