On many sides we see the evidences
that the old fashioned flowers are COM
ing into fresh favor. A bright lady
writer gives it as her experience and
observation that there is decided res
toration Of the flowers of our great
grandmothers' gardens, such as peonies.
poppies, hollyhocks, sweet williams,
Glove pinks, yellow lilies, columbines,
blue-bells, feur-de.lis, monks hood,
phloxes. lychnis, sweet sultan, and the
like. They are not only for the most
part beautiful in color and form, but Q
great advantage of their cultivation is,
that when once planted they will de-
light the senses for years, IL Q little a*-
tention is only given to them in the
spring by digging about the roots and
applying aplentiful supply Of rich COM
post. and dividing their roots in autumn
II too crowded. They bloom at season
when flowers are most welcome.

The Tsats Of Lion Tanners.

Lion tanners are usually killed dozen
times or more by rumor during thei,
careers, and yet. after all, they die in
their beds in about the same proportion
as other men. For instance, Manches-
ter Jack was reported by the news
papers as having come to his end in va
rious ways. once after the following un-
enviable fashion: He was said to have
been exhibiting the feat which Van
Amburgh organized, of putting his head
into the lions mouth, and to have been
reused to q sense of his rashness by
hearing the animal growl and feeling
its jaw closing upon his neck.
"Does he whisk his tail, Bill?" he is
said to have asked the keeper while in
this horrible situation.
eyes" replied Bill.
Then I am dead man." Rroaned
Jack.
A moment afterward the swapping Of
the lions jaws fulfilled his prophecy.
But this thrilling story is contradicted
by the fact that Manchester Jack left
the menagerie with whole skin, and
for q number of years afterward kept
an inn at Taunton, where he died in
1865. With reference to this feat of
putting the head in the mouth of the
lion or tiger, it must be said that, fool
hardy as it seems, we have been unable
to find single authentic instance in
which the beast has improved the op.
portunity to remove such q foolish head
from its shoulders. It is possible such
instances may have occurred, but in
comparison to the many hun
dred times the feat has been performed
they seem to show that it is not really
more perilous than many simpler per-
formances. II is an utterly objectless
feat, only introduced because of the
fascination which terrible peril has to
most audiences. When Van Amburgh
was in England o certain gentleman
went to see him for q hundred or more
consecutive nights, following him from
place to place solely, he said, because
he was convinced that the performers
head would one day be bitten off, and
he did not want to miss the sight. In
the daring and triumphs of Van Am
burgh this country has taken special
interest, since he was generally known
as an American, and it was here that he
won his first laurels. He was native
of Holland, however, but coming to
this country as a young man, always
regarded himself as an American citi-
zen. He was q very handsome man,
tall and we'll formed, and when, some
years after his appearance in England
with his trained lions and tigers. Sir
Edwin Landseer painted him in the
midst Of his tanned beasts, the picture
attracted q great deal of attention, and
made Van Amburgh's show the fashion
with the very highest circles, even
royalty itself. The Duke of Yelling
ton was an ardent admirer of his per
formances, and cultivated his acquaint-
ance with interest.
"Wero you ever afraid?" once asked
the Duke, when the lion king was q
guest at his house.
"The first time I am afraid, your
Grace" replied the lion tanner, "or
that Ifancy my pupils are no longer
afraid Of me, I shall retire from the
wild beast line. Chicago Inter Ocean,

Regard for ORDER.

Nothing conduces mor TO the com
fort and happiness Of home than regard
for order. The work of to-day, is to a
greatextent, the repetition Of the duties
of yesterday, a large portion of which
has been brought about by the negli-
gence of others. Every mother appre-
ciates this as she steps into the deserted
apartments of the children early in the
day. Sarah's books scattered loosely
Oyer the table top, while the shelves
show empty spaces, articles belonging
to Mary here and there meet the eye
of the Order-loving head of the home.
So with the boys-bootS, hats, tops and
balls, which to the owner it was but
the work OF a minute to be placed
where each belonged, lie scattered
everywhere. making in the aggregate a
deal Of unnecessary labor for some one
else.
Discouraged mother, the remedy for
this, Is whatl Determine not to be
the servant OF your children their re-
spect for you will diminish so far as
your attitlle before them Is that of a
mental. Many mothers uncOnsciOusly
slip into this position in their effort to
save time. trouble and those little con
ticts 80 jarring to ones nerves that in-
YaIiably ensue when the taste and VIII
of the younger person are crossed.
If Sarah's books are found out of
place, wait for her return home that
She, not you, may have the responsible
ity of putting them where they belong.
So with Mary and the boys: throw upon
each one the responsibility Of order,
until it ceases to be a burden. We are
all what our habits make us, and what
better work can we do for those COM
mitted 10 us than to see that these right
habits are formedp A little decision
will soon bring this about.
We know of n mother who by this
plan has shaken off many of those petty
cares that are at times so rasping to the
disposition. The question has been ire
quently asked her, GLOW do yott, with
50 large a family, accomplish So much?
1t seems to me am never done" My
children all know what | require of
them, and the work seems to work of
itself. / am never willing to do for Il
child what that child IS perfectly able to
do for itself, - is her reply. As a result,
in the midst Of manifold cares, a fair
degree of health and limited means, she
IS NOV Ing quietly along in the line OF
self-imprOyement, fitting herself 10 AXE
the judiclOus and intelligent guidance
of the boys and girls as they approach
their manhood aud womanh)Od.
To the generous mind the heaviest
deb is that OF gratitude VIXEN it is not
u our power to repay It.
