Flower Gardens.

chicago news.
The old-fashioned flower garden,
with it's beds of fragrant, struggling
posies, is seen no more except in some
quiet country spot. There can still be
found the tall. sweet-scented syringia,
with it's blossom like orange flowers,
golden lemon lilies, delicate lavender
and fawn tinted tieur-de-l:s, the spicy
cinnamon, and the family tinted blush
rose. The damask rose, with it's leaves
like velvet and its yellow heart, in
var;ably grows beside them. By and
by, as the season advances, here and
there, in such a garden, blue. white
and pink larkspurs and many-colored,
tall hollyhocks spring into bloom, and
yarlegatcd ..four-o clocks open their
eyes each day at the appointed hour.
Verbenas run helter-skelter in this gar
den, the old-time hardy, purple varie
ty never ceasing to bloom till frost
comes, and even after that putting out
flowers. There are great yellow MARI
Colds, and Little brown and gold ones.
There is a bed of .iohnnv-jumpsu ups.
in some shady portion of this garden,
punches of ''live.forever," Of pungent
cold man." and thornyz sWeetbriar
bushes. There are single petunias,
heavy with perfume, growing sturdily
even among the grass-for the petunia
is q bohemian, and fourishes wher-
ever it chances to find itself, rapidly
adegenerating from state Of double
pelated, brilliant hued aristocracy to q
single-leaved, plain. white flower,
without a home. It will lift its head
up among the rankest growing nettles
to look the sun in the face. The
earth is carpeted in some places in this
garden with deep-green myrtle.

ever they will. On the edge Of the

garden the caraway and dill send upI
their stalks. There is place some;
where in the beds for the scarlet flow,
ering bean and the morning glory:
Even the wild cucumber-vine is not,
scorned, and it twines itself along the
fence.
The fashionable garden of the period
is quite another affair. 1t is orderly,
to begin with. above all things. No
stragglers are allowed there. It is
close clipped, arranged on a certain
pattern, looks as if it were rolled out
on occasion and taken indoors when it
ra;ned to keep it from getting damp.
1t has a set form, made of perfectly
graded hues, and is called the "orien.
tai carpet style of gardening This
style is sa d to have originated in Eng
land, but it has been universally
adopted througout France and Ger
many, as we'll as in this country. The
plants used most largely to produce
the effects desired are geraniums and
those comprised under the head of
''foliage plantS,' and small border,
utilized for outside borders to a great
extent because of it's brilliant blue
blossom and continual Towering.
There is far less attention given to
the cultivation OF flowers in America
than there is in Europe sad a Ger
man florist. ''In Germany, France
and England gardeners are always ex-
perimenting to produce different ef-
fects in gardening. They give great
attention to producing new varieties
of plants. Wealthy people there are
willing to pay large sums for rare
flowers. In this country people who
have fine country places think more of
broad sweep of green lawn than Of
the finest flower beds on EARTH"

Going into Battle.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.

Said Capt. George w. Stone recently:
ri don't believe any man ever went in
to battle without feeling frightened.
I know never did. I'll tell you when
man feels real badly. It's when he
is forming his men into line for a big
battle while a little skirmishing fire IS
kept up all the time. Every minute or
so someone, maybe your best friend,
standing right neyt to you will shrek
out, ooh, my God, and fall back dead,
yet you cannot let your men fire, for
the army must be drawn up first.
There is plenty of time to think. You
don't dare to retaliate in any way.
The next bullet may find your heart,
and your children will be left father
less. It is q moment that tries the
bravest man, because he has to stand
quietly and take it all. But when the
order comes to fight and the excite
ment of the battle arises, fear passes
away. You have something to do.
You have a duty to perform at any
cost. Bullets drive into the ground
at your feet, sending up little clouds of
dust; they whistle past your ears and
maybe cut holes in your clothing.
Shells and shrapnel kill your Comrades
and leave you living, and soon there
comes feeling that megood fortune
has preserved you and will protect
you, and the desire to do as much
damage to the enemy alone fills your
mind. That was my experience in the
army, and I don't believe that the
man lived who did not feel at the COM
mencement of fight that he would
rather be somewhere else."

II think my little boy would like the
spotted one best, but you ask too much
for it. You had intended drowning all
of them, but I'll give you twenty-five
cents and save you the trouble Of
drowning the spotted one"
TWENTY-FIVE cents for that spotted

AVigorous Young Century Plant.

"A vigorous Young Century Plant.
Sacramento Union.
At the residence of J. P. Odbert,
near the Sacramento County Hospital,
is a, century plant-not one hundred
years old, but twenty five years-which
has recently sent up it's stem for BIOS
som, and marking the early termina-
ton of the plants life. The stem is
fortyfour feet in height and A foot in
diameter at the base. This is said to
be probably the largest and tallest
stem that has ever been seen in this
vicinity, sent up by one of these
peculiar plants. It has been but a
short time since the preparation for
blossom first appeared, and a growth
in twenty-one days of nine feet nine
inches was observed by actual meas
urement.
The century plant (Agave Ameri-
cana) is aspecie of aloe, and SO named
from it's formerly being supposed to
live one hundred years before blossom
ing; that it then died, and remained in
dormant germ another hundred years,
and then>grew again. This last idea is,
of course, a mere fancy, and the first
is incorrect, as the plant natures by
sending forth its stem, and blossoms
in from ten to seventy years, accord.
ing to climate. In the tropics it will
often blossom and die in ten or eleven
years. The height given by botanists to
which these stems grow is forty feet,
but the one at Mr.. Odbert's has reach
ed four feet higher.

That Whistle Among the Icebergs.

Century.
The launch whistled frequently as
she steamed along. and we knew after
ward that the sound was made by
those who lay in the tent, which was
partly blown down. Brainard and
Long succeeded in creeping out from
under it's folds and crawled to the top
of a hill near by, from which was visi-
BILE the coast toward Lake Sabine. At
first nothing was seen by them; and
Brainard returned to the tent, telling
by the silent despair of his face that
''there was no hope The survivors
discussed the probable cause of the
noise, and decided it was the wind
blowing over the edge of a tin can.
Meanwhile Long crept higher up the
hill, and watched attentively in the d.
rection from which the sound had APP
parently come. A small, black object
met his{ ,aze. 1t might be rock, but
none had been seen there before. A
thin, white cloud appeared above it;
his ear caught the welcome sound ard
the poor fellow knew that relief had
come. In the ccstacy of his Joy he
raised the signal flag, which the gale
had blown down. It was sad, pitia-
BILE object-the back of a white flannel
undershirt, the leg of pair of drawers
and piece of blue bunting tackled to
an oar. The effort proved too much
for him, aud he sank exhausted on the
rocks. 1t was enough for the relief
party; they saw him, whistled again,
and turned in for shore with all posi-
BILE speed. Long rose again and fairly
rolled down hill in his eagerness to
meet them.

The Heated Term at its Climax.

Last thursday SUN inst. was supposed
to be the climax of the long and distressing
heated term. Seldom, if ever, in tho history
OF the Northwest has SO hot wave spread
over 80 great an area. Several cities report
the hottest weather known. All over Hi
nois, Iowa and Nebraska the mercury ranged
from 100 to 1O7 deg. in the shade. At 1
p. M. Ottumwa, Iowa, reported 100; Mar"
shalltown, 101, with several cases of sup
stroke; Muscatine 107, with one fatal case
of sunstoke; Burlington 102, with outd oor
business entirely suspended; Rock Island,
ILL.,, 1o4; Quincy, 1O6; Rockford, 104,
and SO on. Chicago was a little cooler,
the mercury ranging from 81 to SO. St.
Paul and Minneapolis from 80 to IS; Wa
terloo, Iowa, 103 to 107; Dubuque 104;
Iowa City SO; Davenport 90; Rochester,
Mimi, 10oi Winona, Mimi, Sc to 80; at
New Ulm, Owatona and Mankato, IS to
100. There was, as usual, a great discrep-
ancy in the observations, the signal service
registering about ten degrees less than 9th
ers. People who are roasting and find
their Thermometers in the shade stand at
90 or 100, do not like to be told by the
signal service observer that their record is
10 degrees too high.

EverybOdy's Air-Brake.

eyes, sah," said Uncle Zach, "1'se
watched it forty years an it's as I seq:
De fust of May an Christmas day of
de same year alters comes on de same
week day."
Further conversation proved Uncle
Zach a most incredulous person.
CHANGING to mention DR.. Carver's feat
OF breaking glass balls with a rifle, he
said:
II heerd bout dat shootin' and
knowed right off it wasn't squar'; dat
was q Yankee trick, boss, sho's you
born"
"What was the trick?"
"Dar Wuz loadstone put into deglass
balls, an likewise onto de bullets; so
when de bullet fly outen de gun, it an
Gle ball jes drawed tergedder, which, in
course, brokes de glass-dats de trick!"
Later, Uncle Zach observed a rope
running along the side ofthe car.
"Boss, what's dat line fur?''
"ro apply the air-brake in case OF
accident" Then we had further to
explain how the force of the brake
was obtained, to which Uncle Zach re-
sponded:
"Look a here boss, you sholy don't
'spect me to b'leeve dat foolishness?
Why, de biggest harricane whatever
blowed couldn't stop dis train, rum
MIN forty mile hour An you think
gwine to b'leeve a little pipe full of
wind under de kyars can do it? No,
sah-ree!''
There are a great many Uncle Zachs
who judge everything simply by ap-
pearances. The air-break does not
seem to be a very powerful thing, but
power and efficiency are not necessa-
rily equivalent to bigness and pretense.
| Philip Beers, Esq, who resides at
the United States Hotel, New York
city, and is engaged in raising subscrip-
tions for the New York World Bar
tholdi pedestal fund, was once up
braided by distinguished relative
who was q physician, for commencing
in such enthusiastic terms, g. remedy
that cured him of bright's disease eight
years ago. He said: "Sir, has the
medical profession with all it's power
and experience of thousands of years,
anything that can cure this terrible dis
order" No, no, that is true, there is
no mistake about it but that Warmers
safe cure is really a wonderfully effec-
tive preparation. That remedy is an
"air-brake" that every man can ap-
ply and this fact explains why it has
saved so many hundreds ofthousands
of lives.-Copyrighted. Used by per-

Famous Discrowned Queens.
London Queen.

LOnuOn Quecu
No image is more pathetic than that
of the discrowned Queen. She who
was once the object of all mems hon.
age has fallen from her high estate,
and now sits pale and bowed down
among the ashes where formerly she
ruled her jocund court radiantly from
her golden throne, golden crowned.
Zenpbia, led by her golden chain like
some fair savage before the triumphal
car of her not ungenerous conqueror-
shackled with god and laden with
jewels, as marking her past value and
present shame is the type of the
queen who, once greater than the
greatest, is now humylod and despised.
Cleopatra, too, occurs to ones men,
DRY as another of those pathetic fig
ures of history who from supremacy
fell to ruin, and from love sank down
to despair. Artemis:a, voluntarily
discrowned, forgetting her dignity,
and condescending to a love unworthy
of her, and to vengeance more un-
worthy still, to end all from that sadLeu-
cadian rock which saw another victim
also in her way aqueen-voluntarily
d scrowned; her nainesake, that other
Artemisia who died of gr;ef for the
loss of her husband, Mausolus; Soph-
6nisba, denied to the man who loved
her, and forced to save herself from
the same degradation as that which
Zenobia underwent by the sharp re-
demption of poison; Marie Antoinette,
from .le Petit Trianon translated to la
Conciergerie,. and from Versailles to
the scaffold; Queen Margaret wander
ing, lost in=the wood, and trusting her
boy to the loyalty Of an outlaw; Lady
Jane Grey, that poor, patient saint and
martyr, queen of an hour, and victim
for all time; Mary Bruce, who, when
her husband said at his fatal corona
ton, ..Henceforth thou art queen Of
Scotland and 7 king answered back,
with sad provision, Il fear we are only
playing at royalt u like children ia their
games; and in our days the poor, dis:
