New Varieties of Lilies.

There is a pretty Chinese fancy con.
nected with these flowers, to the effect
that if they blossom before a certain day
the owner Of them will live throughout
the year. | was curious TO know how
many different kinls Of lilies they have
in China, and, chatting with the chief
clerk of the state department on the sub
iect, he kindly sent me the next day a
roll of no less than twenty-five different
kinds Of Lilies, hand painted in their
natural color upon hne rice paper. Many
of these are quite unknown in this coun-
try, while others are familiar.
The Chinese name for lily is uri, and
they have such quart given names as
hagako, a beautiful scarlet flower; uba. a
small white blossom; tepo, which is like
the Bermuda ascension lily; sirato, a
golden tiger lily; acasima, a small red
lly; yama, a large white lily, the petals
spotted with brownish red: takagima, '
double yellow lily; bene sugi, a large.
highly decorated flower. the long white
petals striped with magenta; koke, a
purple lily; siro kanoko, a white tiger
lily, and va ycteuko, a Tiger lily three
times doubled! II will be seen from this
that there are possibilities for florists in
the direction o. the development Of new
varieties Of lilies which have not yet been
seen in this country Fuller Walker in

History OF Honiton Lace.

Honiton lace has a curiously checkered
history, with many fluctuations. Ii is
said to have been first introduced by the
Flemings, who took refuge in England
to escape the prosecutions Of the Duke Of
Alva. Many Flemish names are still to
be found in the neighborbood Of Honiton,
namely, Stocker, Murch, Maynard,
Trump, etc. In 1860 there was such a
demand for it that France thought it
necessary to issue q royal ordinance pro-
viding that a mark should be affixed to
imported English thread lace. Two great
fires at Honiton in 1856 and 1867 gave
the first check to its production. Queen
Adelaide tried TO revive il after twenty
years Of severe depression by ordering q
skirt made of sprigs, copies of natural
flower, commencing with the initials of
her name; for q very debased and hideous
set of patterns had come in. This does
o seem to have produced a great re-
yival of the trade, and when our present
queen required her wedding lace it was
found difficult to provide the workers,
but eventually a dress worth 81, 900 was
made at the small fishing village of Beer.
The English royal family has been
most constant patrons of Honiton lace,
and has done immense good in keeping
the trade alive. We will end by quoting
a few quaint words fIom "Fuller's Dew
onshire Worthless, which sum up the
plea for the revival: Hereby many
children who otherwise would be bur-
densome to the parish prove beneficial to
their parents. Yea, many lame in their
limbs, and impotent in their arms, if
able in their fingers, gain a livelihood
thereby; not to say that it sayeth many
thousands of pounds yearly formerly
sent over seas to fetch lace in Flanders"

scandinnxlans in NIinnesnta.

In forecasting what sort of a state
Minnesota is to he, the Scandinavian is q
largely determining force. 1t is n virile
element. The traveller is impressed with
the idea that the women whom he sees
nj the stations in the country and in the
city steeets are sturdy, ruddy and better
able to endure the protracted season Of
cold and the highly stimulating atmos-
phere than the American born women,
who tend to become nervous in these eli.
matte conditions. The Swedes arc
thrifty, taking eagerly to politics, and as
ready to profit by them as anybody; un.
reservedly American in intention, and,
on the whole, good citizens.-Charles

Gallery OF Photographs.

Public galleries given up exclusively
10 photographs are unknown in tins city.
Vienna and Paris are said each to pos
sess one, and people who have seen them
say they are interesting in the extreme.
Prominent art lovers have Just formed q
plan for the establishment of such a
gallery in this country. 1t is to contain
original photographs of all the great
statesmen, soldiers, authors and actors Of
the world, and as far as possible the
plates from which the photographs were
taken are to be bought by the manager
Of the gallery, y that prints from them
may be identified with the new enter
prise. Dead celebrities, like Adelaide
Nelson, for example, are to be repre-
sented by photographs from the best
negative now extant, which is then to be
bought for the exclusive use of the gal

GlascoM,s New IIlnminant.

1t is quite possible that we have not
come to the end of Illuminating projects,
and that the use of electricity may not
supersede all other materials. Glasgow
has recently witnessed the test of a new
iluminant of extraordinary power. II
is obtained by thu evaporation Of tar,
~creosote, oil other lydro-carbon oils. The
flame ispure white, very intense and can
be carried up to- 100 candle power. The
expense is two cunts per hour per 1000
candle power. 1t is in the production OF
artificial light and heat that civilization
has for the last twenty-five years most
notably marked progress. 1t is on the
same line we shall move for some time to
come. The end will be free fuel and free
lights for the people as we now have free
air.-Globe-D Democrat.

A Somnambullst's Feat.

A young gentleman of my acquaint.
ance is walking about Just now with
what at first sight looks like a very bad
case Of sore throat. He carries his head
twisted over his port shoulder and moves
it as cautiously as if he thought the
hinges were insecure. He is one of a
firm of lawyers on Court street, and his
business throws him in contact with
many people every day. They usually
ask him what is the matter, but such a
question extracts nothing further than a
grunt and the volunteered information
that If he were not very busy he would
be at home. This is a hint not to bother
him, and didn't. | got the story from
another source. He is newly married to
a charming young lady, and this. and
the fact that he is yet young in the legal

Tie other evening the bride was awak-
ened by hearing a noise. A light was

See him than they sprung upon him, and
despite all his efforts the fierce beasts
knocked him down close behind his now
unconscious wife and attacked him fero-
Ciously. lie finally struggled 10 his feet,
seized poker, and drove the beasts out OF
