OF A ROSE.
A Very Curious Tale of the Discovery {
q Popular English Rose.

A Very Curious Tale of the Discovery of
n Popular English REESE.
Mr.. Daniel Grimond, of Little Chel-
sea. nurseryman, was on a journey Of
business in the county OF Norfolk, Ok
actly 10 years ago, when riding very
%leisurely along the road he perceived
a rose of great whiteness in s mill. He
alighted, and on close inspection dis
covered it to be a Provence rose. He
sought an interview with the inmate
Of the mill. who was an elderly woman,
and begged a flower, which was in
stantly given to- him. The old lady
must, no doubt, have been considerably
surprised at being in turn presented
with a guinea. .In cutting off the
flower so runs the tale, Which has
been recorded by the late Mr.. Hnnry
Smaller, of Batersea FIELDS, ''Mr. Girl
mond cut three buds, and On arriving
at the nearest inn he packed up tae
flower and sent it directly 50 Chelsea"
addressed to his foreman, who was no
other than the father of this same Mr..
Smaller who now relates the-.story-
Two'o If the buds grew, and in the ioil
lowing autumn the florist vent dowp
to Norfolk again, and bought the
whole stock for five guineas. The fore
man was then allowed, to propagate il,
and fer doing so was. paid. IS. a plant
for three Years. At the expiration IF
that time the plants were sold out at a
guinea apiece, the foreman's share Of
The. profits amounting to f3O0. Nat
the least pleasant part of thus pleasant
little romance of a rose'' is the fact
that the old lady who had been the IN
conscious discoverero of a grand secret
in Horticulture was gratified. by rece,v-
ing out Of the proceeds of the UNDER
taking a handsome present, consisting
Of a silver tankard and plaae to the
value of EGO. London Glo6s.

Intelligence satisfactorily.

Tho German Boy Who Did Not Absorb
Intelligence satisfactorily.
The German sehool-teacher is very
poorly paid for his wearyseme worf, OF
imparting wisdom to his pupils, If
many Of his pupils are like the one de-
scribed in the following dialogue.
The boy found it diff to under
stand simple arithmetic:
Teacher-''Suppose, Fritz, you havs
a stocking on one foot, and you put
another stocking on the other foot"
Fritz-"l ncver wear no stockings"
Teacher-'Suppose your father has
one pig in a pen, and he buys another
pig, and puts it i the pen, how many
pigs will there be in the penn"
Fritz-"Dad don't keep no pigs"
The teacher blew a heavy sigh from
his tired lips, wiped the p%erspiration
from his scholastic brow, and went at
it again with renewed courage.
Suppose. Fritz, you have one jacket.
and at Christmas your father makes
you q present of another Jacket. how
many jackets will you have then?"
Fritz-''He amt that kind of a faith
er. He give me nothin' for Christ
mas"
Suppose your mother gives you one
apple, and you have one already, what
will you have them"
Fritz-"Stomachache. Our apples
are cookin' apples"
The teacher was not the man to be
discouraged by tritles. He began to
suspect that Fritz was not we'll up in
arithmetic, but he resolved to make
one more effort, so he said:
'Fritz, if a poor little beggar boy
has a cake, and you give him onemore
cake, how many will he have?"
Fritz-"I dunno, l eat my own
cakes"
Then the teacher told the children tc
60 out and play.-1eras Sittimgs.

Destroying the Garbage Worm.

In relstion to the destruction of the
larva of the cabbage butterfly, now
common in the West, an entomologica!
correspondent of the New York Evesa-
ing Post, in an extended article on its
Life. history, and characteristics, ON
cludes that, as to the remedies, hand
picking is too laborious, and the appli-
cation Of mineral poisons is dangerous.
The two resorts which have yielded
best results are the application of
pyrethrum. either the dry powder or
watering with a decoction, as this in
secticide does not hurt the cabbage.
Next the heroic application of hot
water, not higher than 40 deg. But
OF this method we advice first to ex.
pertinent on one plant. The Tribune
again advises the application of very
cold water during sunny weather. If
this fails, use a tablespoonful of py-
rethrum, or less, to the gallon of
water for spraying Chicago Tribune.

Coke ordered Smith into an adjoining
room, where he caused him to wash
the blood from his face and hands,
and then escorted him down the stairs
and out by a rear passage and door.
AS Smith tookh his departure he swore
that he never would again darken the
lawyers door. He declared that he
had been led into a trap; that an am
buscade had been prepared for him:
that Coke had concealed Jones in the
closet with malice aforethought, and
that he had designedly beer led into
abusing him. This had been done that
at the proper moment Jones might
dart out and assault him. He had
heretofore thought pretty we'll of Coke,
but this treacherous affair ended their
friendship forever, forever, sir!!" 1t is
the ''last feather"
Smith being dismissed, the lawyer
returned to Jones and set him to wash.
ing away all removable traces of the
combat. When about to escort him
down stairs, Coke turned and said
.'Mr. Jones, before you go I'll trouble
you for the five dollars l have won O.
you"
"You will? You have the check to
ask it? Mr.. Littleton Coke, you'll never
see the color of five dollars from me!
But that you have the brass of the
devil you would not mention it after
humbugging me into that closet-ass
that lwas!-and then bringing in Smith
to villify and assassinate me. You will
probably hear from me in an action fol
conspiracy. I reioice that I got in tina.

me again, sir, on any occasion" ard
Jones departed in a towering rage.

when left alone, as he surveyed Che
wreck of his office and inspected his
nose in the fragment of a mirror that
still remained attached to it's frlme-
"Well, 1 have settled the pair o them,

A Rabbit Yarn.

Out in Dakota on the railways jack
rabbits are plentiful. An engineer of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Road relates that when one of these
fine fellows is espied on the track. the
engine is uncoupled from the train and
the race begins. The rabbit hasn't
sense enough to get off the track, and
the first thing the frightened animal
knows the dread monster is close up
on him. The fireman grasps the iron
standard of the ~cowcatcher with one
hand, and the next instant has the VIC
tim by the hind leg with the other.

To school, nor missed u morning.
The others smiled t see them there
That lassic M her brother
And called the prim, old-fashioned pair
The father and the mother"
He helped her DER the crossings wide;
Her books and slate he carried;
And when the school was out, with pride
10 take her home he tarricd.
All! but the sight to me vas dear,
So trusting, she, so tender!
He was her little cavalier,
Her wutchful, brave defender.

"Who is The best inc sweetest,
The incest girl in school! And, pray,
Who do you think the neatest?"
Upon the wee one at his side
He smiled, and fondly kissed her:
Then answered, with Il flush of pride:
"Oh, you must mean my s~ister!!"

She practiced on him all Aer wiles
Till in loves silken net She caught him,
And showered on him her sweetest smiles
When to herfeet she captive brought him,
But when he pleaded with the maid
To be regarded as her lover,
She sighed a little, blushed, and said:
"PleaSe wait until the summers over"
And then began loves golden dream;
To every picnic. every dance he
Took her, and bought her lemon cream
And other things that mxidens fancy.
At beach hotels with her he hoped,
For she was quite an ardent dancer;
At length the youth the question popped,
And waited 10. the maiden's answer.

there was not room in which to swing

by trying to punch it into Jones's face
and y Smith soon caused a free

from a cut he made over his right eye,
when the latter managed to get hold of
the base of the s%tatuette, and by a sud-
den push sent the head of the gladiator
into Smiths mouth, smashing IN one or
two front teeth. This unexpected re-
