Near one of the entrances of the most
beautiful park in London there are four
eyesores that were once, no doubt, pretty
groups of statuary. It Is years since
noticed them first, but even then they
were hardly recognizable as ever having
been ornamental And there they stand
yet, blotched battered, scabbed scarce
crows such rs one could not match in
any town in the world. Half the statues
in London look like the victims of cry
sipelas. In some the disease is more ad-
vsnced than in others. Queen Anne's
was the most distressing case. The fig
ure of that sovereign lady in st. Paurs
churchyard was minus its nose when
saw it first, and remained in that state
for about ten years. And goodness
knows, a nose is useful member in
England, in winter especially. Max

The records of the patent Office show
some most remarkable devices. Among
the instances of this lately quoted is an
automatic bath tub, which starts the hot
and cold water at given time in the
morning, maintains exactly the right
temperature by thermostatic arrange
ment, rings bell when the bath is
ready, and two minutes later suddenly
drops the sleeper's pillow and turns him
out. On the principle that prevention is
better than cure another genius has de-
vised an illuminated cat. This animal
is built of pasteboard and made luni-
nous with PHOSPHORUS, and her steady
glare through the livelong night fills the
souls of the rats and mice with dismay.

being, but it is not in itself the be-all
and the end-all of existence. The passion
for knowing is superior to the knowledge
itself, but both together are not sufficient
to insure the welfare of nation. There
must also be the desire, the effort and
the wisdom so to use the knowledge as to
improve and exalt the character, and so
to cultivate the whole nature of those we

And saw the little maiden,
SO near me and yet so far;

As pure as the angels are.
And a smile OF radiant beauty,
As she saw me, flashed over her face
Like a ray Of golden sunshine
That lights up some darkened place.

And gone where the shadows gray,
For that smile Of friendly greeting
Had hanished the gloom away.

Dwarf Cannas.

One of the most interesting and valu-
aberesults ofrecent French horticultural
effort is found in the new race of dwarf
Cannas, with large and brilliantly cOlored
flowers, produced by Mr.. Crozy, of Lyons.
large bed of these plants in the garden
of the Trocadero, in Paris, was surround
ed all summer by crowds of people. Too
much has not been said of the beauty of
these plants and of their value for decor
ative purposes, whether planted in the
open ground or grown in pots or tubs.
The colors of the flowers of some of the
varieties are surprisingly brilliant There
seems no good reason, however. for call
ing the plants ''dwarf," except that they
begin to flower when they are not more
than twenty inches high, for they grow,
especially in this country, when gener-
ously treated, to height of six or eight
feet. Seventeen of the new varieties ex-
hibited at Paris for the first time, which,
on the whole, are no better than those
sent out by Mr. Crozy during the past
two years, are described in a recent issue
of the Revue Horticole. No one who has
not seen collection of Mr. Crozy's Can
nasin good condition, can form thefaint-
est idea even of the beauty and the bril-
liancy of the flowers of the plants.-Gar-

Carbon and Flowers.

PulveriZed charcoal has strange effect
upon flowers. Frightening their bloom
and giving vigor to their growth.
Spread an inch deep over the surface Of
the flower potit will cause faint, faded
looking rose to changein few DAYS to a
beautiful, bright color.
White and violet petunias are particu-
larly sens tive, the white ones becoming
veined with red or violet tints in a very
short time.
It's effect on viOlets is not less decided;
they are soon covered with irregular
spots of bluish-black color, and seem like
choice new varieties.
If the charcoal he removed, the flowers
will fade back into their normal hues
within a few days.
This seems to prove very cOnclusively
that the charcoal acts directly upon the
color in the bloom, and not by absorb
ton through the roots, as in that case
the flowers would not fade upon it's re-
moval.
1t is probable that some gas is alb
sorbed by the coal which would otherwise
bleach the color of the flowers for it can
hardly be supposed that charcoal, which
is wholly insoluble and inert as great
absorber ofgases, could affect plants in
any other way.
Florists fully understand the benefits
arisingfrom the use of carbon, and resort
to it extensively.-Ex.
