COFFEE AND BEER.
)al)as present.

The habit OF living in q great measure
out OF doors, as eXemplified in the
crowds which may be seen at almost
any hour of the day seated outside the
principal cafes is one of the features Of
Partisan life which an Englishman is
most inclined to envy. No doubt it is
favored in n greater degree by the
warmer and less variable climate of
France, but the experience of the
FISHERIES and Healtheries" has
shown that n similar form of enjoyment
is not altogether unattainable even in
our colder English dir. It must not be
supposed, by the way, that these same
crowds are an imbibing coffee. The
consumption of coffee ut the cafes is
mostly limited to the half-hour or hour
of digestion following luncheon or din
ner For other seasons Of the day the
cafes have other attractions of other
kinds, absinthe, bitter, pronounced
"bittaire,''N various liquors, erated
waters favored with fruit essences, and
last, but by no means least in point of
the quantity consumed, beer. OF late
years the French, contrary to their
ancient habit, have become beer-drink-
ing nation. Every cafe, as matter of
course, supplies beer, and there are
other houses known as 6rasseries literally
"breweries, - in which beer is the pri-
mary object of supply. The beer at
these last is generally shade cheaper,
and frequently shade better, than ct
the cafes. In both cases it is light,
unintoxicating liquor, imported from
Germany and nearly identical, in fact,
with the 'lager beer which for several
seasons past has been 30 popular in
London. A Frenchman, be it remarked,
never drinks beer at meal, light wine
harmonizing better Gas any one who tries
the experiment will quickly discovery
with the delicate favors of French
cookery, but the Briton of simple tastes,
who will insist on bread and cheese or q
snack Of cold meat, and glass of beer,
by way Of luncheon, will find no diff.
Guilty, even in Paris, in gratifying hio
pCliAati0n.

TIE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
TINE sxMBoLrsa1 OF FLOWERS

II oil ages, and among almost eveay
people, flowers have been adopted az
symbols, types and emblems Of human
combination, affection and loyalty. The
reader need scarcely be reminded of the
red and white roses which were the
badges of Lancastrian and York rivals
to the English throne.
But this symbolism OF flowers dates
back to periods far older than the time
of the Wars of the Roses. The ancient
nations had their emblemntic flowers.
The special flower of the Hindoos, for
instance, has always been the marigold.
The Chinese display as their national
flower the gorgeous chrysanthemum.
Tie Assyrians for ages proudly wore
the water-lily. Egyptians delight most
of all in the heliotrope; though the
papyrus leaf, used by the ancient Egyp-
tinns in place of paper, may also be
regarded in high sense as the SYM
bolic plant of the land of the Nile.
The Greeks and Romans were in habit
of distributing the flowers in their
luxurious gardens among their gods
and demigods ; just rs in yet remoter
times the sweet basil and the moon
flower were sacred to Asiatic deities
In the Roman custom, to Juno was
devoted the lily, to Venus the myrtle
and the rose, to Minerva the olive and
the violet Diana had the dittany, Ceres
the poppy, Mars the ash, Bacchus the
grape-leaf, Hercules the poplar, and
Jupiter, naturally, the manarch of trees,
the oak.
So, we may infer that among the
Romans, the lily and the oak were the
emblems of power; the myrtle and the
rose of love; the olive and the violet, Of
learning; the ash, of war; and the
grape-leaf OF festivity.
Even the days of the week, as we use
them now, are named from deities who
had each his special flower: the Sun
Sunday, the sunfower; the Moon
(Monday), the daisy; Tuesday (the god
Iuls day., the violet; Wednesday (the
god Woden's day., the blue monkshood
Thursday (the god Thor's day., the
burdock; Friday (the goddess Freas
day., the orcliis; and Saturday (Saturn's
day., the horse-tail.
We also find that in our time tho
sacred days in the calendar of the
English Church have oil their flower or
plant emblems, the principal of which
are the holly for Christmas, the palm
for Palm Sunday, and the amaranth for
All Saints Day.
Monarchs and nations have often had
their symbolic flowers. The thistle is
the emblem of Scotland and the sham
rock of Ireland. The feur-de-lis is the
badge of the royal house of France, and
the amaranth OF that of Sweden The
rose blooms forever on the royal coat-of-
arms OF England.

Small fruit raising for market may not
