Several days ago a divorce case was
brought before Judge Jeckelsen, OF New
York. A handsome young woman had
been married to "A young man who
stood well in the community, but after
four weeks of welded life the woman
applied for a divorce. The Judge, upon
hearing the facts, remarked:
"This is surely very sad affair.
Mrs. Gripnel" addressing the woman,
"you set up the claim that the great dis
appointment which you have suffered

How Roses Boom.

Hybrid perpetual roses bloom most
ly upon shoots that grow from the old
wood; that is. canes of one or more
years growth. The best blooms are
found upon the canes which start from
near the root the previous season !;
therefore, 1t is best every spring to cut
out all canes which have bloomed one
season. AS YOU value good roses and
a quantity of them do not fail to do
this. To increase the quantity and
richness of bloom with hybrid perpetu-
ais practice what is called "pegging
down" This is to send all the canes
that have been left after pruning near
~ to the ground. The outermost ones
may he within six inches of the surface
and the others little higher. This
horizontal position of the canes some
what retards the flow of the sap as it
returns to the roots, and more of it as
used in forming buds and flowers. If
YOU prefer to grow your roses upright
do not fail to cut back the canes about
one-half. If you wish to have seed for
new varieties, it j. well not to have the
soil too rich, else, according TO my ex-
perience, YOU will get fewer seeds and
not the best roses. All the roses should
he where they will have plenty of sun
light, and yet be protected from high
winds

A Dead Customer.

"Did you ever have decidedly odd
customer" asked a reporter of an up
town florist.
"Yes," said the florist.
"Who was hep"
"A dead man. 1t was post-mortem
order"
"And what did the dead man want
of fowers?"
"He wanted them for his funerall'
swell, I've heard good deal of live
business men, but this is the first time
l ever heard of dead customer"
Il shall explain it to you. There
lived, three blocks from here, in tene-
ment-house district, cynical old
gentleman, who spent his time with his
books and his thoughts, and was a
stranger to everybody. He was dis
ciple of Schopenhauer, and might have
been regarded as a harsh critic from
another planet who had been ship
wrecked on this little one-horse island
in space and was sorry for it. The only
CLEAN of sunshine in his life was that
he hadn't kinsman, a friend, or an
acquaintance in the world.
Zone day when he was very old he
was sick unto death. TO divert him
self during the tedium of dying he con-
trived n post-mortem joke. He had
$500 which he did not wish to leave to
anybody. Though he waS stranger
in'the world, the idea came to him that
he would spend the money in having
the same kind of funeral that other
people had. He sent for business
agent, unfolded his plans for the fune-
raj. and then died with half-amused
smile on his face.
The agent ordered the coffin, en-
gagged the carriages, hired pall-bearers,
gave the minister a few points for II
short eulogy, and then come to my
store aud bought the flowers.
There wasn't a mourner in the little
church where the last services were
held. There wasn't person in the
church whom the dead man had ever
known. There wasn't person in the
city who wasn't stranger TO him. But
the coffin stood under the pulpit COW
cred with anchors, broken columns,
pillowed doves, and broken lutes bear
ing such notices as 'Goodby, Old Com
rade,' AT rest Farewell. Friend,
Still Remembered, etc. They were
the flowers which the dead man had
bought / imagine there must have
been sheer under the coffin lid. L be-
lieve there were six hired pall-bearers
"They put the odd old gentleman
and his flowers into the hearse and car
ried him to his resting-place. The ear
riages afforded the tenement-house
neighborhood free ride to the Gene
terry. No tears were shed at the grave,
the pall-bearers gos their pay, and it
was n very pleasant funeral. '-Ne,c
