For Lovers of Flowers.

The beautiful Azalea, RhodOdendron drbor-
escers. was first made known by Pursh in his
Flora OF North America" published in 1876.
1t is native Of the mountain regions from
Pennsylvania to South Carolina and Tennessee,
wherS it is frequently found in great abund-
ance, especially among the foothills of the
high mountains Of North Carolina, bordering
and often Overhanging the smaller streams
and filling the woods in early summer with
fragrance.
Verbena runners or branches have dispo-
position to grow up and become very I'M
| slghtly-peg them down uniformly around the
main roots; new roots will then be thrown out
at the point Of pegging, which will give more
nourishment to the plant; clip of the flowers
before they form seeds.
The oldest rose bush of which there is any
authentic record is growing against the old
church at Heldersheim, in Germany. Eight
hundred years ago, it is said, Bishop Hepilo
caused a trellis to be erected to support it.
The main stem is thicker than a mans body
The bad taste sometimes displayed in this
country in the conception and arrangement Of
floral designs is quite as often and as conspicu-
ously shown in other lands For example,
among the set pieces recently exhibited at q
horticultural show in Cologne, there was one
which represented life-size baby in swaddling
clothes, and another in which swan was fig
ured by means of the detached petals Of water
lilies. Beyond this last, misplaced ingenuity
could hardly go; for, to dismember the flowers
employed, is of course, to deprive a result of
all title even to the name Of floral arrange
ment.
Plants wanted for Towering should never be
allowed to produce seed; to prevent this, cut
all the old flowers off as soon as they wither.
The Salvin S. Splendens, especially the scarlet
with its brilliant flowers is one Of the very best
OF plants for house culture in winter. 1t will
do well in almost any room if the foliage is
showered all over daily. Unless this is done,
the red spider will be pretty to attack it, and
it will drop its leaves. 1t makes a very snowy
plant for the window, blossoming freely all
through the season. 1t should be cut back we'll,
from time to time, to secure constant growth of
branches. as on this new growth depends the
amount of bloom obtained

Plea for WOmen's Pockets.

From the New York Star
Something must be done for women in order
to give them dress with more pocket con-
veniences. Man can have pockets all over him
Woman has none, or next to none. She has no
side pockets in her-at least, she has no pant
aloons for side pockets. She has no vest for
pockets. She has few pockets in whatever gar
ment she may wear that represents an over
coat. Women as yet have not complained
loudly Of this lack Of pockets, but they feel
this lack just the same. They have as much to
carry in pockets as men, or would have did they
wear pockets. They are often obliged to carry
their pocketbooks in their hands through lack
OF pocket Every pocketbook demands a
special pocket. Dresses might be made hav-
ing permanent pocketbooks stitched on them
This would be a safeguard against pocketbook
snatching. Both time and money are lost
through the awkwardness and inconvenience
OF opening pocketbooks in public places.
Women have not now a style Of dress which
admits of pocket conveniences. Occasionally
an ulster grants them the luxury of putting
their hands in their pockets during cold
weather. But by the time they have become
accustomed to this privilege a change of fash
ion comes, and ulster pockets are swept out of
existence. Then women are pocketless again.
Women have right to as many pockets as men,
Now, they frequently make up for this def
cheney in bags. They are nice bags, too, of silk
or satin. But bag is a bag, anyway What if
every man had to carry bag to keep his money.

other things in?

Japanese Ewes.
From the London Times.


At Yokohama, Mr.. Caine, NJ. P, had an en-
barrassing little adventure. At the back of
every Japanese house Che says) is pretty little
garden, with a large batlfhouse containing tubs
of hot and cold water. The japanese are as
scrupulously clean in their persons as in their
houses, and often wash all over two or three
times day. The room in which we had our
dinner looking out upon the large open window

women were Tubing with that absolute disre-

most profound and grave bow, wishing me

civilized enough, with all their wonderful civ

cumstances that he or she is naked In sum-
mer time this condition of things is universal.

Benefits of the MIDDAY Nan,

From the New York Mail and Express.
81 have thrown physic to the dogs and am

q prominent Broadway merchant to the family

didn't have much faith in it at first, but, by
perseverance, at last began to feel its bene-
fetal effects. Since trying it l never eat a
meal without first resting for fully twenty
minutes or half hour on my lounge. The
philosophy is that if you want man to do
good work he should be well fed and well
rested. 1 have heard doctors declare that il
was a task for a weak constitution to properly
digest a meal, and they declare further that no
constitution could digest food properly when
it was exhausted and run down to the very last
notch; and if any one attempts to get along in
that way he will sooner or later find himself
completely broken down."

A ROMANCE OF NEWPORT.
A New Haven Man to Marry q Girl he
Saved from Death.

A New Haven, Conn.,, dispatch says that Chas.
W. Selke, to whom $4,000 was bequeathed by
wealthy New Yorker for saving his daughters
life at Newport in the summer of 1884, left this
city last week, and his intimate friends say he
has gone to New York to marry the girl whose
life he saved
According to the story told by selke himself
he was on the deck of schooner entering
Newport harbor late at night when he saw
young girl row out from the shore, and when
near the schooner stand up and plunge into the
water.
Selke threw of his surplus clothing and
jumped overheard, reaching the young lady
Just as she was about to sink for the last time.
he placed her In the boat she had abandoned
and rowed 1t ashore. 1t was late at night and
an 1asnionaDle Newport had gone to rest by
the time Selke and his fair charge reached the
land, so that it was an easy thing for the rough
and-ready sailor to induce the bewildered girl
to tell where she lived. To avoid scandal the
pair walked to the young lady's residence on
one OF the fashionable avenues. She was met
by her father, who, as might be imagined, was
somewhat surprised to learn that his daughter
had attempted to put an end to her life. She
told him her story, and sad one it proved to
be. During the summer she had met a young
man OF fascinating manners. She was pretty
and charming and he was agreeable. The end
OF it was that her lover betrayed her.
Selke at the time received $1,000 with a
promise of more provided he would never di-
vulge the name OF the girl he had heroically
rescued He promised, and the next morning
the young lady and her parents moved to New
York, where Selke has often visited the family
and has taken much interest in the girl and her
baby boy. The girls father died some months
ago leaving will by the terms of which Selke
was to get $4,000 in cash, provided he would
marry the girl He left for New York last week
to make good his claim for the money, leaving
sweetheart behind him in New Haven to
mourn his loss.
Who the New York girl is or what business
her father was in cannot be ascertained, as upon
this point Selke has never opened his mouth.
He refused to tell his mother when pressed to
do SO before leaving.

A Mid-Ocean Mail.

From the Pttsburg Dispatch.
Here is pleasant recipe which can be CON-
mended y wives whose husbands cross the sea
without them.
On the first night out, just as my vis-a-vis
was sitting down to, dinner in the saloon of the
City OF New York, a steward stepped up to him
and handed him a letter, saying: with the
captains compliments, SIR" Every night this
performance was repeated. Sometimes the
captain himself presented the letter. 1t was
mysterious and interesting. The gentleman
who received the letter seemed to be greatly
astonlshed when it came to him on the first
occasion, but afterward he merely showed
signs of enjoyment in reading its contents. He
was very delightful man and great favorite
at our table, but though everybody was diving
to know where the letters came from, nobody
had impudence to ask him. But on the day
before we reached New York happened to be
standing on the companion way with this gen.
tleman, when the captain presented the letter
and the former said, as he tore open the en-
velope: "Queer idea of my wife's. isn't it? She
sent the captain seven letters addressed to me
and asked him to deliver one to me every even
ing before dinner. She thought would be
glad to hear from her every day, and tell you
1t has been one of the pleasantest events Of the
voyage, this mail delivery in mid-ocean."

Won by a Dream.
From the Nashville American.
The o,,Narot,t,1,,a anl ha1;a,,


The superstitious and believers in the super.
natural attributes of dreams will find seem
ing confirmation of their theories in the recent
experience of a Nashville young man. Within
the last week he retired one night. in norma
condition, it may be stated, and, falling asleep
was soon on the race course. In O dream he
backed particular horse which the talent
considered wholly out of the contest, and in
dreams saw that horse dash under the wire an
easy winner. The excitement was such as Il
awaken him, and after smiling at his folly he
once more fell asleep, only to fall under the
spell Of the same dream and awaken as before
Coming up town the next morning he
dropped INTO a poolroom, and saw the horse OF
his dreams blackboarded at q 20 to shot
Ashamed Of being influenced by q dream, he
started out again, then sheepishly said to him.
self: "Pll go you % anyhow, for fun" He
did so, and then went on to his days labor
That evening he dropped into the room again
and there upon a board saw a ring-the win
ming mark-around the name of the horse he
had backed Presenting the ticket, he re.
ceived in return s42, and went home to court
more such happy dreams.
The horse was Bravoura.
