II sppears almost incredible that In Paris
no fewer than 10000 women find their living
by making artificial flowers. The majority
of them are asserted by q too creduious adj
mirer TO be real artists, initiating nature al
most TO perfection with exquisite taste and
we'll developed imagination. The rose In
the workshop Of the .fe,riste is the MASTER
piece. If the art Of making rose 10 ac-
quired, the maker is supposed to be able 10
initiate any other flower, the rose being con-
sidered As particularly developing the imagi-
nation of young artists. As In other branches
of industry, there are specialists In the flower
factories, the buds, the foliage and the
mounting being done BY different people.
At present great number Of fower-makers
are out Of work, owing partly to flowers be-
ing out Of fashion and partly TO the enor-
nous composition in England, Germany,
Switzerland and America, which increases
with every season. No country, however,
can compete with France In elegance, deli
eacy and taste, although the flowers arc
made after French models. at Is curious
fact" says complacent Frenchman, "that
women who,in France, we're highly esteemed
for their taste In the manufacturing and ar
ranging Of flowers, lose all their ingenuity
when, rs not infrequently happens, they 90

the most disgracsful, but one Of the most
disastrous failures on record. The property

swept away and used by this firm until 1t Ia
doubtful II It pays cent or even q mill on

been given funds TO make purchases which
they have simply passed to their own accoun!
and spent. Some Of the sufferers were be.

Elephants ms Derricks.

Barnum's elephant train broke up the SER
vices In . village church at Waterbury,
Conn.,, Tuesday, and came near meeting
with destruction itself. While the three
trains were above New Milford, Sunday, on
their way TO Danbury, an axle Of one Of
the elephant cars broke, and the car, drop
ping on the rails, burst open, and the sle-
plants rolled out. Albert landed on his feet
and seized the next car with his trunk In an
endeavor To stop the train. The shock
alarmed the other animals and their roars
could be heard half mile distant. Jumbo
and the white elephant, however, remained
very quiet. ta
The dsrailed cars could not be replaced
upon the track until Prof. Arstingstall en-
ployed the elephants Fritz, Chief, Pa,las and
Mandarin, and they lifted the cars on the
track with their trunks. While this was be-
Ing dons the other elephants were allowed
10 roam about the fields 1t will, TO the great
delight Of the inhabitants, who abandoned
church services TO see the show for nothing.
The village ministers preached In the even
Ing against the sacrilegs Of travelling Sunday
show trains.

Tomato Can Trunks.
PHILADELPHIA Times.

"For over thirty years I've been nending
and making trunks In this establishment"
said one Of the Oldest employees Of concern
neat Sixth aud Chestnut streets yesterday,
sand I've watched the baggage-smasher's rise
aud rapid progress. 1t don't take much TO
smash modern factory-msde trunk. Trunks
used to be trunks; now they are mostly
shams. You wouldn't think 1t, but just take
notice and you'll find that the more sheet
iron there Is on trunk the cheaper 1t Is.
These Uncovered things you see are no ac-
count. Nearly all the tin covering you see
on trunks are rolled tomato cans. Boys
gather up these empty cans and sell Them TO
the trunk factories, who roll them out and
stamp them. A trunk, TO last, has to have a
good foundation, and by that mean good,
strong box, well and honestly put together.
If IL hasn't that, and most Of them haven't,
you may crowd the tin and sheet iron on an
inch thick and it's no use-they will collapse
with the first big shock"

"George Washington" was the complacent

The Nicaragua Approximation.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Senate was
in executive session the greater part of yes
terdsy considering the consular and diplo-
matte appropriation bill. This bill passed
the House some time ago, and when 1t
reached the Senate where the majority Is In
sympathy politically with the administration
Secretary Frellnghuysen sent letter to the
committee on appropriations, recommending
an appropriation Of quarter Of million
dollars, TO be expended under the provisions
Of the neutra lity at. This money Is desired
TO promote the negotiations for treaty that
have been pending for many months past be-
tween the United States and Nicaragua.
About two years ago the Nicaragua ship Ca
nal Company, of which General Grant, Rear
Admiral Ammen, Minister Phelps and other
prominent citizens were members, obtained
valuable concession from the Nicaraguan
government for the construction Of q ship
canal across the Isthmus OF Panama. A bill
was introduced in Congress to guarantee the
payment of low rate Of interest upon GER
tain bonds Of the company and 1t obtained
charter for the prosecution Of the work
under the laws Of the State Of Colorado. The
concession from Nicaragua depended upon
the performs nce OF certain amount Of work
upon the canal within specified time. Lit
tie or none Of this work has been done, and
several months ago the Administration be-
gan the negotiation Of a treaty with the Mic
sraguan Government 10 confirm TO the Uni-
ted States a fixed term of years, the sole
right to construct a ship canal across the
Isthmus In the Territory Of Nicaragua.
While great secrecy Is observed regarding
the matter, II Is learned that the treaty has
been practically concluded, and that $3.50. 200
10 required 10 insure Its ratification. The
long aud secret debate In the Senate has had
reference mainly to the purpose for which
the money is to be expended. Its opponents
aver that the money is TO be used as bride
TO Nicaragua for the purchase of valuable
concessions. The friends Of the appropria-
ton, who are In large majority, claim that
the money should be voted, as 1t will guaran-
tee the supremacy OF the United States upon
the Isthmus, and will avert possibility of
foreign war for the control Of Central Amer
lea and the maintenance Of the Monroe doc
trine.

Boycotting Harper's.

NEW York, June l4.-A special from
Cleveland says: A movement in on foot
throughout Ohioto boycott Harper's Weekly

notable on the Western Reserve. At New
Philadelphia large club Of subscribers have

town are circulating petitions promising not
TO purchase copies Of either Hdrper's Weekly,
Puck, or the New York Times, and nearly
every newsdealer In Cleveland will lose

Making n 0ueen.
81. Nicholas for June.

Bees do not usually want more than one
queen. In fact, they will not have more than
one unless the swarm has grown SO large IS
TO crowd the hive and they are going TO found
q colony, or "swarm," rs IL Is called; In which
case each family will want sovereign. As
soon rs 1t Is clear TO the wlse-acres that 1t
will be necessary to send off swarm, the
bees 90 to work to make queen. A worker
maggot, or, II there happens to be none In
the hive, worker egg 10 selected near the
edge Of the comb. Two cells pext door to
the one In which this maggot Is are cleared
out, and the dividing walls are cut down, so
that three ordinary cells are turned into one.
The food which the worker worm has been
feeding on is removed, and the little creature
10 supplied with new kind Of food-a royal
jelly. Change Of food, larger room, and
change Of position-the queens cell hangs
down instead OF Observation-Disclosures three
changes of treatment turn the bee that Is de-
velOping from a worker to queen. She Is
different In her outer shape, different In al
most all her organs, and different in every
single instinct. There is nothing else In all
nature that seems TO me more wonderful
than this.
For fear than one queen may not come out
all right, the provident little creatures usu-
ally start two or three queen-cells at once.
1t Is curious to watch the first queen as she
comes out. She moves up and down the
combs, looking for other queen cells, and If
she find one, she falls upon it in the greatest
excitement, and stings her rival to death.
Sometimes, by accident, two new queens
come out at the same time; then it IL won
derful to see the bees. They clear a space
and bring the two rival queens together, and
stand back to watch the fight. And 1t is a
royal fight indeed; a fight t" the death, for
they never give up Till one or the other is
fatally stung. The victor is then accepted
as sovereign.
