lowed by the Queens own desire, 70
which her husband readily accedes. She
feels that she IS an outcast from her
former estate, and therefore is deter
mined to live like an outcast III

Sun, who found it almost impossible to
dispose of them at profit. The other

onions that shine in all their fairness
like Spanish friars, and about the same
number of packages are on THAR way
from spain TO this port. Each crate
contains about fifty pounds and the job

per crate. Some physicians claim that

Superstition has in all ages been the

creates OBJ is of terror out of the most
harmless natural phenomena The So
called showers of blood have occurred in
many countries and in all ages Of which
we have any knowledge, and while the
ignorant and superstitious have always
regarded them as the precursors Of some
direful calamity, naturalists know from
whence they come. and that they are
really harmless That in most cases

recorded phenomena of this kind Oc-

vast multitude of butterflies swarmcd

sprinkled plants, leaves, buildings.
clothes, and men with blood drops, as if
it had rained blood. Another similar
shower is described by Reaumen In the
beginning of July zoos, in the suburbs
of AK, when all the country about was
covered with what appeared to be blood.
Similar showers are likely to occur wher
ever butterflies emerge in great numbers
at a time from their pupe state, for this
reddish fluid is usually discharged soon
after they take to their wings in flight.

should be smooth and perfectly clean.
The right amount varies. less being re-

Artificial flowers, SAYS a writer in the

nuns. In the Italian converts the al ars

OF the eighteenth century, decorated
with artificial flowers. laboriously put to-

still materials. Since then the "ltalian
iowers,p which are made in Venetian
factories of the imperfect cocOons OF
silkworms, have become famous for their
daintiness, which makes them particula--
iy suitable for toilet decorations. Beside
these silk flowers other artificial flowers
are made in Venice, whence nearly all
Italy is supplied and whence whole
wagon loads are exported to other coun-
tries. No sooner has the visitor to enice
taken his early cup Of chocolate at

the cicerone appears, Offering to show
him the famous" factory OF the ia
moas Italian flowers" This factory l.
situated in one of the gray old houses Of
the FreZzaria and several hundred girls
are occupied in it. In the warehouse
the most wonderful reproductions Of
natural flowers are exhibited in glass
cases, and it seems in many cases as II
not only the richest and most brilliant
colors, but the very scent Of the flowers,
had been stolen from nature, for some OF
the artificial flowers are stepped in the
perfume distilled from the flower which
/. represents. ANY one wishing to take
home some souvenir Of Venice can have
his choice of beautiful and often fantas
] tic objects at the factory.
In the upper stories OF the house the
girls sit at their work, constructing. with
clever hands, the most beautiful works o.

flowers are nearly exclusively made Icy

invented machine for cutting out the
leaves and petals, but it can only be used
for the smallest kinds, such as are want
ed for hyacinths, lilies Of the valley
and other small flowers. In larger petals
the irregularities of manual work are
preferred to the stiff and correct forms
produced by machinery. The material
Of which the petals are made is woven
in special factories; the scissors and
other tools used by the girls, as well as
the presses in which the veins are traced
on the leaves, are OF shape specially
