ANNOUNCING VICTORY.
xchAnge.


 "Tick, tick tick, tickety- tick tick, chatters the telegraph, and the opera tor scribbles on block of yellow paper the message that the ticker is bringing him from & hundred or a thousands miles away. That Is the way news of victory comes nowadays. But it was very different many years ago. A dusty rider on a panting steed dashed through the crowds to the gate of royalty and the door which made great men finger for hearing opened instantly to him who brought good news of distant battle. Gifts were showered on him, and public honors laid at his feet.
 Probably the briefest announcement of victory on records is Casar's cele- brated despatch to the Roman senate, telling his victory over Pharnaces, V1i, Ttdi, Tici,-I came, I saw, 1 conquered. But Commodore Perry almost rivalled this in terseness during the war ot 1912, and his announcement Is almost as we'll known.
 The gallant commodore met on AA1AC AO 0 DAAbASA AOA@G wall A@A sixty three guns, while his own little fiotilla carried hut fifty-four. The battle ragged hotly for several hours. and then Perry triumphantly sent off to General Harrison messenger bear ing the immortal despatch, "We have met the enemy, and they arc ours !: two ships, two brigs, one schooner and one sloop."
 Browning has told in spirited verse a touching incident of victory in the French camp. It was on the occasion of Napoleon's campaign in Bavaria, and his order to storm Ratisbon, the capital. The emperor himself re- mained on little mound mile or so away, and thither, on e galloping horse, came boy, who flung himself to the ground, and stood erect in spite of fearful wound in the breast. .sweii,' cried he.

 It Is doubtful if news Of victory was ever received with more heartfelt toy than the news of Cornwallls' sur render at Yorktown. Colonel Tilgh- man, a member Of Washington's staff, was despatched to Philadelphia to make the announcement to congress. He left Yorktown on the day of the surrender, October 19 for his ride oi two hundred and fifty miles or more.
 All through Virginia and Maryland he spread the news. No time for de- tails-just the one shout as he rides, "Cornwaliis has surrendered !" and he has left behind him swelling hearts and joyful shouts. Did he want fooda Every housewife gladly served him . royal dinner. Did he need . fresh horse2 Every patriot farmer along the way offered his best. No horse too good to carry such tidings.
 The brave colonel rode four days, with only brief hslts for rest and food, and reae he'd Philadelphia just before midnight, October 23. He hAstened to the door of Thomas McKean, presi- dent of the Continental congress, ard rapped so loudly that jealous watch man was disposed to arrest him for disturbing the piece. 4 few minutes later, that same watchman, as he told the hour, instead Of droning as usual, Twelve o'clock, and alfs well," was crying in voice that woke the town, "Twelve o'clock, a4d Cornwallis is takenw
 In short time the whole city was astir. Old and young poured into the streets to hear the news. Cannon boomed, bells pealed, and stately con- gressmen shouted like boys. The aged bell-ringer of the state house died from excessive joy.
 A curious announcement of victory was once made by Motley, the his torian, during the American civil war Motley was then minister to Austria and resided at Vienna. He was most ardent in his devotion to the Union cause, and could do little work with the pen while the issue of the war wa, in doubt.
 When the news of the surrender oi Vicksburg reached him, 1t happened that none of his family were in the house, except his youngest child. Longing to tell some one, and unable to restrain himself till the older mem- bers of the family should return, he rushed up to the room where the in- fant lay sleeping, and impetuously shouted through the keyhole of the door, "Vicksburg is oursl Vicksburg Is ours!"

With feeble, totfering step the old man wandexs about tho yard in the dusk of summsr evenings and black-robed figure is always with him.

 The first bloom of youth has faded from tho faces of the sisters and across their foreheAds wan lines lie deepeAing
 under the tracing finger of time. And 70, from day to day. Days
 that blush into life in the east, that tarry long at midday heat, and that. are folded again in the black ahroud
 of night. Nothing more. I can see that the step of the. old
 man grows little more uncertain as the months 20 by, and that he leans yet heavier upon those frail, patient shoulders, which have % long been
 burdened. A careworn, anxious look
 has stolen into the faces of the daugh- ters and lamp burns behind those close curtains, sometimes far into the night. Ah, mel 1t is pitiful, this sac- rifice of youth upon the altar Of stern,
 thankless duty.
 They arc all in all to one another these gentle sisters-and life, and plea
 sure, and vanity glide past them with out murmur to disturb their stilly dream of existence.
 But someday, God help them, the palsied hands of the old man will lie forever stilled, . new mound will
 stare duly up to the pitying from the green slopes at Riverside, and the
 mission of love and duty will have
 been accomplished.
 And then1-God knows. Time hes outstripped them; no
 chance is left of retrieving that which
 has gone by, and barren and blank, life Hes before them all untrie1. And even as I write the strains of

large white flowers, with faint odor like
that of ripe apples.
The Dwarf Chinese Water Lily On. Pyg-
m@a) produces leaves from two to three
inches across, and very sweet scented
white flowers, no larger than silver half
dollar, opening at noon and closing at
sunset.
Nelumbium Speciosum, the Egyptian
Bean of Pythagoras, is a truly wonderful
and grand plant 1t produces two classes
of leaves-one floating on the water and
the other standing out of the water on
strong stalks, as do the flowers, which,
before opening, resemble huge Tea Rose
buds, of bright rose color. After open
ing they resemble large tulip of beau
tiful creamy white and pink.
N. Luteum is the American Lotus, often
called Nelumbo or Water Chinquepin. 1t
is native of the United States, but is not
common. The flowers are as large as a
quart bowl and of rich sulphur yellow.
Otherways there is scarcely any difference
between it and N. Speciosum.
There is great variety of other aquat-
les desirable to grow in company with
water lilies, both in the water and along
the margin. If alonga lakeor river front,
the display can be most extensive. Can
mas, Caladiums, Callas, Bamboos, Palms,
Ferns, ETC., can be grouped or massed to
produce the most pleasing effects, and
our native fora will contribute not few
to swell the list. Our native pitcher
plants (Sarracenia), Gamma faccida, Iris,
Crinum Americanum and Hymenocallis

roots or seeds for our lake. The above
cut conveys very good idea of the plant,
though we are not sure that the leaves
standing abovethe water are always pro-
duced. The flowers are a clear sui phuryel-
low, said to be about the size and form of
the flowers of Magnolia grandifora, and
stand up out of the water some two or
three feet. The seed pods are very curl
GUS and cannot be mistaken. They re-
semble the crosse or Sprinkler" OF a wa
tering pot and in them are imbedded the
acorn-like seed, the ends of the latter
showing through the holes in the top of
the seed pods. The seed will rattle, bnt
are not easily removed, and ducks are
very fond of them. In some parts of the
country the plant is called Nelumbo and
Water Chinquepin.

Aquatics and Aquatic Gardens.

Until within a very few years scarcely
an attempt was made to cultivate aquat-
ic plants or establish aquatic gardens,
and only very limited variety of the
commoner sorts were obtainable as no
florist or nurseryman carried a stock OF
the exotic species. But, thanks to Mr..
Edmund D. Sturtevant, of Bordentown,
N. j., all this is changed, and an interest
in this class of plants and gardening has
sprung upall over the country. Mr.. Stur-
tevant is an enthusiastic cultivator of
aquatics, and several years ago began
collecting a stock of all the known species
of Water Lilies possible to obtain. These
are described and many of them illustrat-
ed in his beautiful catalogue of rare Water
Lilies, copy of which he sends free to all
who apply for it. Since he has made it
possible to obtain these rare plants at
reasonable prices an interest in their cul-
tivation has been gradually growing and
they have been introduced as permanent
features in some of the foremost gardens
in the land-notably, the garden OF the
President of the United States, the Smith
sonian Institution, Fairmount Park and
Geological Garden, Philadelphia, Pa,
Michigan Agricultural College, Cornell
University and Central Park, New York.
We have seen those in the lily pond in
Central Park and do not wonder at the
intense interest created by their marvel
GUS growth and flowers.
We feel very certain that everybody rec
ognizes and admires the exquisite beauty
and fragrance of our native white water
lily, but how many dream, as they admire
it's chaste beauty, that there are species
of water lilies producing flowers blue as
the sky overhead, glowing red, delicate
pink and cleaning yellow. The botanists
have long known the fact, but to Mr..
Sturtevant is due the thanks of flower
lovers for placing them at our doors, en-
