Diet OF Cake and pickles.

Of things to exist. We are told by the

it is fed. The child desires dainties, and the
mother oft gratifies that desire. Soon the
mischief is done, for the dainty appetite is
quickly formed. Apropos of this: ruddy
German girl of seven summers was adopted

process was early begun by them, for it was

thought of the plain but healthful fare of he,
German home excited great disgust. Daiu-

= Color Blind Florist.

Mr.. James Orr, the manager Of Mr..
r. c. Patterson's flower establishment
on Sixth avenue, is color blind, and al
though he handles flowers of all colors
of the rainbow he knows very little
about the difference of their shades and
hues. A reporter asked him day or
two ago how he could distinguish be-
tween the flowers, if ho didat know
their colors.
ooh, l know the flowers right
enough said he, 81 have handled them
now so often that know their names
almost as soon as touch them"
"But how do you distinguish between
the different kinds of rosesF' was
asked. "For instance, here is a Magma
Charta and here a Francis Bennett
they arc both deep red. How do you
know one from the otherl"
"Thcrc is difference in the petal, in
the leaf and in the blossom" was the
reply, (Which you, perhaps, would
never look for and think of, because you
only look at the color; but l know
flower at once, although may not know
of what color it is. There is also
difference between the characteristic
fragrance of certain flowers, which is a
great guide to me-"
Mr.. Patterson sail that Orr never
made mistake in distinguishing one
from another. 'Tn fact" he stated,
81 believe that he knows the different
species of roses for instance, better
than a man who is not color blind And
why2 Because he does not look at the
color; and we will know that even peo-
pie who are not color blind may some
times be deceived in simple colors.
''But one thing is very funny. Mr..
Orr cannot get along with the different
ribbons that are often used to tie around
bouquets. All these ribbons are made
OF the same material, and all are of the
same width, and the only thing in which
'ney uilIoI - 'nell coloI' Ahcse rlO-
bons, If they arc properly matched with
the color of the bouquet of flowers
around which they go, enhance the
beauty Of the whole bouquet, 1t is here
that Mr.. Orr gets in his funny business,
and he has become so disguised with
the mistakes he makes that he hates the
sight of any ribbon, regardless of color
or anything els" [Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Queer Founder.

In lot OF FISH received from the
Sound yesterday was a founder inches
in length, which was the same on both
sides, that is, brown, and covered with
rough scales instead of being white on
one side, as founders usually are. 1t is
we'll known that when founders are
very small they swim on edge like or
binary fish, and have an eye on each
side OF the head, but as they grow
larger they grow top-heavy and fall
over, AM the eye on the lower side
skews around to the upper side, where
it will do the most good. This fact is
shown by some Of the foun ders having
fallen to the right and some to the left,
as can be seen by the shapes Of their
heads. The founder above mentioned
must have been more level-headed than
the usual run, and had managed to
stand erect till his existence was put to
an end. ~ Portland Ofegonian.

"a Brighter Day Tomorrow"

When tossed upon the restless tide
OF trouble, care and sorrow;
When skies grow dark and all foretells
More trouble on the morrow;
When towering clouds o'ershadow US,
And, tempest-tossed, we wander
Ger unknown seas until we feel
Our little bark must founder.
When we despair of life itself,
And think the end is nearing;
When in the darkness we can see
The monster, Death, appearing,
Some little star of Hope will burst
From out the night of sorrow,
Cheering our hearts and whispering,
ga brighter day tomorrow.
Hope, thou blest boon to mortals-giYen,
What glory shines about thee;
How, when dull care and sorrow comes,
Could we bear up without thee!
Still shine upon us from on high,
Shedding yellow lustre,
And ever, when the night comes on,
May lights around thee cluster.
