YhcOlll SunflOWe1.s

The visit to this country of Oscar Wilde,
the English aesthetic, has brought the sun
flower into prominent notice, if it shall not
promote the planting and culture Of this
gorgeous product. Fifty years ago the sun
flower was deemed a strictly p]ebeian plant,
and was ottencst found in the Enclosures
ABOUT the cottages OF our country" as Pres
idc1lt Jackson called them, those assuming
more cultivated tastes prefcrring rare cxotics
Tor perfume rather than for show. But of
late years it has been discovered that the
seeds OF the suntlowcr are valuable for po1.l-
try food, while the leaves and stalks possess
an attributed quality which may be as pow
crtul as that Of the eucalyptus in ncutralizing
malarial poison and insllring health. The
sunflowcr can be raised almost without
care, anyw here almost, and if not deemed
worthy of attention as regular crop, it
could gracefully and usefully fill up many
odd corners about the farm which ordinarily
exist as dcf,rmtics

A great many industries start afresll
and with great impulse in the spring of
tho year. One of these is the business
Of preparing ''cooling beverages for the
summer drinker. The bottling establish
mcnts arc in operation the year through,
but in spring preparations made for tho
tho summer increase. The demand for the
lighter drinking material, if not for all. is
regulated by tho weather to Il great ex-
tent. If the season be hot and dry the
people will be in the same condition.
The amount of swcetened water that is
sold under various names is simply
enormous.
Soda is water impregnatcl with car
bonic acid gas. Carbonic acid gas is
made from pulverizcd marble and Vitrol.
The marble is put into a receiver and
mixed with the vitrol. The gas is thus
generated, and after passing through
purifiers or through water is ready to be
changed into any kind Of sweetencd wa
ter. \ bottling mac hinc fills !. bottle Il,

The discovery of ginger ale gave a re-
freshing drink to millions It is supposed
that more would be sold ifthe name ale"

more than water sweetencd with ginger

gas, it has no very marked intoxicating
or even stimulating qualities. :: It is the

refreshing and healthful. The item of
bottles is al important one. The bottles
cost more than the ale. Every bottle
requires washing, Of course every time it
is emptied. For this purpose a machine
has been invented and put in operation
to take the place of hand labor. This
machine washes sixty bottles per min

Besides the city consumption the sea.

summer resorts the chief diversion Of
many is drinking. Why not? The salt
