FLOWER LADIES.

A Charming Little Game to be Played by Charming Little Children. Elizabeth Bisland in the St. Nicholas.l Did any of you little people ever play "Flower Ladiesi"
 have made many inquiries and never found any children but those of my own family who knew about the game. It was the delight of my childhood, and now that am grown up and cannot play it myself, and have no babies of my own to teach it to, I begin to fear that the beautiful game will be lost.
 It began in this way; lived with my sis ter when we were little, down-ever so far down-in Louisiana; 80 near the Gulf of Mexico that when the evening breezes blew we could smell the salt sea-air. It was on sugar plantation.
 On the left of the big, square white house cred four or five acres, and was inclosed with hedges of pyraoanth covered with sweet, white blossoms in the spring and punches of red berries in the autumn. Where the garden sloped down to the wide, sleepy, brown bayou was @ long row of ba- mana trees that rustled in the wind their great satiny, green leaves, which served ua 1OC 2ALb huO AHkS, hUu of0u kOE AobGoI phpOEy for we wrote notes on them with thorns out of tho hedge.
 Above the bananas, on tho crest of the | slope, was Q row of picayune.rose bushes with their myriads of dear little miniature | blossoms. And then there wes all the big | beautiful garden.

But it was not 6 ! prim, formal garden at all, for we were al lowed to do anything we wished there, and I think it must have been because we loved it so and lived in 1t so much that we invent.

Never before has Baltimore presented so beautiful @ picture of peaceful animation. She is dressed in her Sunday best from crown to toe and tens of thousands of sightseers fill her streets. Baltimore street is perfect maze in the ex- tent and variety of its decoratiors and tho people are vieing with each other in their patriotic displays. The faces of many of the business houses are almost completely hidden from sight by svergreens and the starry folds of the nations banner.
 On every breast is worn 8 medal, re- hinder of the bravery of the defenders of
 Fort McHenry and Baltimore in 1914. The air Is filled with music. The strains of "Dixie" are applauded and cheered, and "Yankee Doodle" meets with @ warm recep- tion, but "1he Star Spsngled Banner" the National hymn, which had its inspiration in "The rockets red glare" at old Fort McHen1 seventy. five years ago, simply carries the multitude off their feet.
 Two hundred and eighty stands, with a capacity sufficient to seat 25, ,Oe0 people, have been erected on Broadway, Baltimore street, Eutaw street and Madison avenue, over which route the various processions during the week will move.
 The opening day is graced with the pres- enoe of President Harrison, Secretary of War Proctor, Postmaster General Wanamaker, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Win- drim, Governor Riggs of Delaware, Governor Jackson and ex-Governor Philip Francis Thomas of Maryland. Many other people oi national prominence are here. The Presidential party arrived here al 10:45. =-=1.. There were 50, ,000 men in the grand pro | cession.

Eddie Hill Dragged Aloft 1000 Feet in
 Hot Air RSalloon.

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. S.-A very exciting and thrilling incident occurred here last eve ming. Prof. P. H. Redmond, an aeronaut, was to make an ascension in hot air bale loon. Just as the large airship sailed away skyward @ lad aged twelve years, named Eddie Hill, became entangled in the ropes attached to the trapeze. His neck got caught in a half moose and the boy could not extricate himself. He clung desperately to the ropes with both hands, and by winding them around both arms managed to save himself from falling and from choking to death.
 The balloon rose over one thousand feet and drifted several miles away to the south
 east, finally coming down as light as g feather, landing the lad without scratch The boy was frightened nearly to death, but soon recovered after finding himself safely or earth. Prof. Redmond did not 20 up at all, for I he had his weight, would have choked thu | boy to death. When he saw how the lac was caught he let go the ropes and remained | on the ground. Great excitement prevailed during the time the balloon was in the air.
