Monday next for a weeks stay in that

attraction has been on the road n sue
cess has attended them throughout. This
season the is undoubtedly the
best ever seen in musical comedy. The
following is from the Boston HCluld-
'"The Monroe-Rice combination scored a
big hit last night in Scott Marbles new
comedy, My Aunt Bridget" The piece
is ingeniously constructed and abounds
in absurd and mirth-p provoking situa-
tons, the dialogue is bright, sparkling
and witty, and free from painful puns
which many writes of this class SO Law
ishly interline. From rise to fall of cur
tain the interest never flags, and the var
ious devices adopted by a couple of impe-
cunious scapegraees to wheedle money
out of the newly-arrived Aunt Bridget
elected roars of laughter. Many new
features have been introduced, and the
music and costuming of the piece is
much more p%retentious than is generally
heard and seen in farce comedies. The
several French and English selections
sang by the Neapolitan Trio, the Saffi
Sisters and the Madrigal Boys were
departures the audlence rewarded WIN
vigorous applause. The cast is unusually
strong and embraces some of the best
musical comedy favorites. including

The chrysanthemum flower is tabled by
the Chinese to have the bower of conferr-

wutung by the believing. In S%zechuan
there is i'll the Confucian temple of the

have remarkable dreams;lthe intimatlonS
conveyed in these dreams arc, wonderful
to relate, sure to come true. say The ma
tive accounts. The Chrysanthemum Sin
ese, has probably for two centuries been
we'll known In Europe. The ~1iorets,
whether OF the ray or disk, are never
blue. but they appear with ALMOST
every other possible color; The
books say that the Chinese
must for long ages have been
carefully improving the plant. and
that their great richness in development
and in varieties of properties has risen
from sporadic popularity and inter-
mixture with alleged species unknown in
Europe. This last effect would be caused
by insects bringing with them in their
visits TO the flowers the pollen OF neigh
boring plants.
The remarkable variability of these
plants is partly due to an excellent con-
stitution, which allows them to be easily
~propagated by cuttings. About half of
the flower heads should be destroyed to
increase the size n beauty of those
which remain. Not being delicate, some
kinds will submit to their stems being
pegged down near the surface Of the
ground, and the beauty of the garden
plot is remarkable when the flowers of
certain hardy varieties are in this way so
restricted as to rise only a few inches
from the ground. European gardeners
obtain seeds from widely different
localities, and aim by mixture to rival
the hapdsomest varieties introduced
from China. We must subtract the
legendary element generously and recog-
nize a true love of natural beauty in the
great attachment which the Chinese
lave for the peony,, the plum flower and
the China aster, which have been all
favorites for fourteen hundred years or
more. This is one of the main sources OF
the development of modern Chinese
painting, in which these flowers have as
much attention as baskets of fruit among
the painters of Holland.-Nortb China
