Mrs. W. X. Yandcrbilrs Romance.

\ romance that has the charm of fic-
tion about it, is told of Mrs. Willie Il.
Vanderbilt, the wife of the famous New
York millionaire. She was at Newport,

money, with soma friends, when The
announcement that the rich son of Will
liam II. Vanderbilt woull arrive that
evening was made. OF gowns she ho
but fcw-mo't Of them had been won,
and she did not think that shc could
make an impression ON any man if only
she had n frock to wear. One of her
fir ends voluntcc rcd to lenI her n We low
silk. With great delight it was ac-
ccptcd; but the bcauty's eyes filled with
tears, and her lips quivcrc6 with disap-
pointment, when she discovered that on
one side of the bodice and far down on
the skirt extended white stain. But
was this to daunt spirited girl' Ger
tainly not. When the time came, and
tho gown was put on, she took n black
lace shawl, that by some mistake had
been put among her things, drapcd it
about her in Spanish fashion, fastening
it about the hca aud on one shoulder
with amber pins. An admrer had sent
her bunch of yellow roses, and with
these and her black fan her costum,
was complete. She came. she saw, and
she conquered. The wicked friend
never forgavc her her success in hiding
the defects of the gown, or the lovely
picture she presented when she stood
before Mr.. Vanderbilt, AMI the lockers
on could read the admiration in his
eyes. don't know whether this story
is truo or not; it was tod me and
vouched for, and like to think that,

the name tulip is traceablc TO the word
thonlyban in the Persian languagc-sig-

word lilac is nothing more than an
angliczcd form of another word in the
Persian tongue, viz, lilag. A large
number OF plants owe their names to
those by whom they were frs discovered
and introduced into other chimes. The
iuchsia stands indebted for its name
to Leonard Fuchs, an eminent Ger
man botanist, and the dahla was so
named in honor Of Il Swedish botanist
named Dahl. A long list of plant names
might be formed which bear what might
be termed animal aud bird prcfixes as,
for example, horse beans, horse chest
nuts, dog violcts and dog roses; cats
faces, name applied to the plant
known to botanical students n. the viola
tricolor; cats eyes, veronica cham;r lrvs;
cats tails and catkins. The goose grass

Hay For New York.

Nobody knows just how many hor cs
there are in New York, but n GLANCE ot
tho hay that is devourcd every year in
this town would surprise almost any,
body. Two and a half million bales of
hay are wheeled into tho city every
twelvemonth, and the cry for more is
beginning to be heard. About quarter
OF century ago the counties along the
Hudson River, souh of Albany, were
able TO furnish tho city with all the hay
it needed, and twenty five barges made
weekly trips for forty weeks of the year
to bring the crop 20 market Now it
comes from every part OF the state and
Ohio and Indiana are called upon to
help supply the demand. Hay comes
from even rs far west rs X nsas. When
1t finally brings up On Manhattan
Island after its travels it is classified
into three grades and the price is all
justed to the quality. The average
value is about fifteen dollars n ton, and
OF course the biggest part of it is
gathered i'll by the street railway COM
panies. More than $500 worth of
hay arrives every day and most of it
comes in over the Western railroads.
Suppose all the hay tina. is eaten here in
n year were piled up in Madison Square
what n mountain it would make 1t
would open the eyes of every body to
