Roses for Rich and Poor.

Cut flowers! Why remember the
time when cut flowers out of the season
were luxury that only the wealthy
could enjoy. Now more than one-halt
our business comes from the poorer
classes"
Such was the reply of well-known
florist, of Glen Cove, L. l., when asked
about the business done in cut flowers.
''Have you not noticed the increase in
Hover shops and stands all over New
York? Certainly you have. The poor
servant girl, the mechanic and the
humble dweller in the tenement house
districts are responsible for it ALL Rich
people can send their orders direct to
the hot-houSe. The poorer classes, how
ever cannot afford to spend much for
flowers and the result is numerous
places where bouquets are made up and
sold at prices ranging from 10 cents to
81. I'll wager that tomorrow, if the
day be fair, there will be thousands of
dollars worth of cut flowers sold on the
streets alone"
chow do you account for this growth
of interest and appreciation of flowers?'
II attribute it to three things A de-
velopment of the poetic natures of the
people which manifests itself in the
regulation of the fashion; the work of
the New York Flower Mission, whose
work in the past has proved the powers
Of Natures creations among the sick
and lastly to the greater ease and facility
with which plants are now grown"
'What amount of money do you
think is spent in cut flowers during a
year in New York;"
1T is hard to estimate, but am sure
it would amount to two millions of dol
lars There are nearly 200 stores in
New York, to say nothing of the street
stands. One firm alone [ know does a
business of 100000, and there are
several whose trade amounts to $50, 200
during this year"
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1884-08-28
Precautions Against Drowning.

The London Daily News: The
drowning season has unhappily set in
with rather more than its usual number
of fatalities, though, according to the
Lancet, there is no good reason why il
should set in at all. A little timely pre-
caution, we are assured, might save ev-
cry one of the lives annually lost by
drowning. This, no doubt, is too
sweeping an assertion. The only pre-
caution conceivable for the prevention
of all eases of drowning ut this time of
year. or ut any other time, for that mat.
ter would be to keep quite clear of the
water, and that can hardly be consid-
cred practicable or desirable. even fnr
the security of good many lives. But
no doubt great want of intelligence
and very censurable degree Of reck-
lessness are displayed in the boating
and bathing that are now ut their sum
mer height. There are certain very
simple hygienic rules which ought to
be known and observed by all bathers.
and with regard to boating, rs u rule.
nobody should venture on the water in
ordinary light rowing boats without
first learning to swim This seems al
|
but it is astonishing how thoughtlcssly
thousands commit themselves 10 the
frailest craft with only the remotest
chance of saving their lives should they
be upset. a good many accidents have
! occurred already this season. 1t is
pleasant to be able to contemplate in
connection with them one or two feats
of exceptional gallantry. The consta-
bic of the bathing place of Exeter is
said to have saved POO persons from
drowning during the past four years,
! and seems to have exhausted the ordi-
nary modes of comforting honor by tes-
timonials, medals, and so forth. His
last rescue, if report may be relied up
on, was an exceptionally striking char
acter. The paddler of canoe got
sucked under Il fender into swift
stream which has dark passage of
some POO yards under road. Into
this gruesome gloom the constable
plunged after him. and after severe
grapple with the drowning man he col
Jared him satisfactorily aud swan
through the tunnel with him. If the
achievements of this officer Shooter
by name-have not been greatly exag
gerated it is to be hoped that the good
people of Exeter may hit on some meth
cd of evincing their sense of his pluck
and usefulness in a manner as remark
able as his services.
