Each girl is armed with gopher, and
the gopher, after being heated mo-
ment in the flame of the furnace, is
applied with a quick wrist-motion to
the petal as it lies upon little cushion.
Under the heat and pressure the petal
is instantly curled into hollow, cup
like imitation of the natural object.
The freshly-gophered petals are pres
emily put together along with the sta
mems, or "pips," as they are called in
the trade. These are usually made by
machinery at another factory.
Sometimes the stem and branch OF
the rose are imported, and merely
tackled on in the factory; but this part
of the business is also carried on here,
and there are some branchers in New
York.
Although the work is thus infinitely
sub-divided, the best 1ower-makers learn
the business in its entirety, save stamp
ing and dyeing. Those branches seem
to be left almost exclusively to men.
The test of girls skill lies in her
ability to make a rose. The best rose
makers follow nature with marvellous
fidelity. The manufacturers show you
branches of clustered roses with every
thing complete-even to great, natural
looking thorns, and defective, worm
eaten blossoms.
Dozens of flowers are initiated in the
factories of this town, but the more ia
miliar blossoms are most in demand,
January is the height of the busy sea-
son with the flower-makers, and the
work goes on briskly through February
and March. 1t is duller in April, and
by the first of May there is nothing
more to do. Then, however, prepare
tons are made for feather-curling, and
during the hot weeks of July thousands
of deft fingers are busy making the
feathered ornaments that are to adorn
fashionable bats in the following win
ter.
If flower-making went on the year
round, the flower-makers would be well
enough off. A clever girl acquires in
two years sufficient skill to command
from IS to S12 a week, and the best
workers earn even as much as SIS q
week. Forewomen get from 500 to $40
a week, though the latter is a high
figure. Most of the girls are very young
Many begin to learn the business a
twelve to fourteen years of age, wher
they can earn only 81 week, ant
when some even must pay for the privil
ege of learning.

Artificial FlOwer.Making.

The process of hower-making begins
with the man who stamps out leaves
and petals, says the Ne,0 York Sun,
He has perhaps one hundred short, stout
iron spikes, each bearing on one end
an iron stamp, fashioned so as to cut
out of cloth bits shaped like the petals
of one flower or another. The cloth,
velvet, sateen, satin, or what not, is
laid upon leaden slab and the stamp
is struck smartly with a hammer. In
this way thousands of petals are struck
out rapidly, the cloth being folded
many times before the process begins.
From the stamper the work passes to
the dyer The latter is usually a
Frenchman or German learned in the
art of mixing colors. Rose petals
come to him white, and he dabs each
with a bit of carmine, leaving the
points untouched. From him the pet
ais, ranged in rows on a board, pass to
a boy or girl, who applies bit of yell
low dye to the white point. Then the
petals are put over furnace to dry.
From this point onward the work is
done exclusively by girls. Their tools
are extremely simple. The gopher is a
little iron implement for curling petals
Tweezers, scissors, and mucilage-
about complete the outfit.

A Green " Johnny"

One of the simplest efforts ever made
to escape in the course of the war was
a grand success. This was the case of
Lieutenant Kupp or Cupp, of the
Eighty-ninth Pennsylvania, and resi-
dent of Bucks county, in that state.
In the boxes received from the North
the confederates permitted citizens
clothing, but any other garment of
blue shade was at once confiscated.
In this way Kupp, who was tall, lank
young fellow, got suit of clothes that
transformed him from ragged Yankee
into a slab-sided, butter-nut clad North
Carolinian. Kupp" hung out" in the
upper Potomac room, among the rois-
terers who persisted in making hideous
nights already sufficiently wretched,
and after he had got the clothes he as
sured his friends that he had made up
his mind to light out and go to Gods
land" But they laughed at him.
Those upper Potomac men never took
anybody seriously, particularly one of
their own crowd. One morning after
roll-call, and when the guards had
formed and were going down the stairs
leading to Turner's quarters, Kupp, to
the dumb amazement of every one who
saw the act, fell in behind them and
caught step. The guard passed through
Turner's office without hating, but
Kupp came to stop, and looking about
him, found that he was the sole occu-
pant of the prison office. He was about
to walk out when Major Turner APP
peared, aud in his peremptory way de-
handed:
Who are you, sir?"
:" Pm Tom Jackson" was the sheep
ish reply.
"A soldier?"
Yes sir, kinder one"
"Where are you from?"
"Noth Caliney, Teenth Regiment"
And what are you doing here?"
asked the now indignant Turner.
Amt this har house Libby Prison?"
Yes, sir"
WAL, so they told me up the street,
an l reckoned as l was handy I'd
kinder peek in and take look at the
Yanks-if you don't object" said the
unabashed Kupp.
Have you ever seen Yankees?"
"Only long way off in the distance,
an them 'uns had suns"
"Go to the front and you can see lots
of Yankees, lots of 'em, sir. Now get
out of here, or will have you sent to
the guard-house."
And so Lieutenant Kupp was kicked
out of Libby by the very man who
was responsible for his safe keeping.
Most men on finding themselves in
Kupp's position would have made " a
Decline for cover" the instant they
were out of prison and the surrounding
guards; but not so the imperturbable
young gentleman. He deliberately
crossed to vacant lot facing the prison,
and, picking up piece of wood, began
to whittle, stopping every few minutes
to survey his late companions in the
upper Potomac room. Satisfied with
his exterior inspection, he kissed his
hand CALAMITY to the men behind the
bars, and started for home. OF course
Kupp got through to our lines in safety;
he was just that kind of fellow,-NeD
York Times.

Johnnie Green, the boy who was so
badly injured by falling from freight

ing, on the left foot, amputated yesterday
by City Physician Nichols, assisted by

deal, which necessitated his taking ether.
The bandages and splints such as they
were) were taken off the right limb and
new ones substituted-this time pieces of
a cigar-bOX having to do service. The leg
is fractured near the ankle, in two places
between the knee and ankle, and also be-
tween the hip and knee.
The left leg, however, is the one that
viii cause the most trouble. 1t is not
broken, but is terribly bruised, and it is

Mr.. Smith brought out the first "hotel

twenty years ago, with a distinguished
company on board, among whom were
Lord Garniss and several other noble

wonderment to the guests on the elk

SEEMED TO Be RATIFIED.
The Senators Put Up One Of Their
Poor Games,
San Francisco Did Not Do Much
Better, and Won by Only
n Single Run.

The Sacramentos deserved the defeat
they suffered yesterday at the hands of
| the San Franciscos. They put up SLOW
enly fielding game, and France appeared
to have temporarily lost his effectiveness.
| When the visitors needed hit he could
not prevent it, and it was mainly through
his lack of control and inability to deceive
the batsmen that San Francisco made
four runs in the seventh inning.
The bases were flled-two of the run
ners reaching the bags on flour balls.''
There were two outs, and Midget Sweeney
came to the bat. He picked out a nice
one and drove it at McCloskey in center
field. The latter got in front of the ball,
but allowed it to go by, and the result
was that four men crossed the plate.
But this misplay was nothing compared
to the remarkable piece of bungling field
ing the third inning. Sharp knocked the
ball into the air to the right of and behind
second base. 1t dropped in the middle of
q circle formed by McCloskey, Sunday
and Armstrong. Sharp made q run for
second base, and McCloskey in his haste
threw high to the baseman. Nobody was
! backing him, and the ball rolled over to
the San Francisco's bench. Hutchinson
and Spies chased it up, and the former
threw hard TO Peoples at third, in an en-
deavor to head off Sharp at the bag. But
Peoples made bad mutf, and the runner
walked in over the home plate.
The audience could hardly stand this,
but they did not have more than time to
sigh over the Wretched piece of field
work when Sweeney knocked liner
over Hutchinson's head. Works was
waiting for it on the roll, but to the hor-
ror Of the grand-staud he allowed the ball
to roll between his feet and back to the
fence. Sweeney made the circuit Of the
bags.
When the Sacramentos did finally re-
tire the side they looked as though they
were ashamed Of themselves, and two or
three of the team doubtless wished they
were off the earth. In spite of all the
yellow ball-playing, however, the home
! team came near winning the contest.
They hit the ball hard at times, and were
only one run behind when the game
ended. The score stood S to Z. Peoples
and McCloskey made home runs.
Cobb was not as effective as usual, and
France did not seem to be the least bit
puzzling to the visitors. Both catchers
gave good support.
Armstrong played a strong game at sec
| ond base, excepting seven out of eight
| chances. He also batted hard.
Nick Smith was at third for San Fran
cisco, and played ball just as he used to
! five years ago. He handled five chances
neatly and without erring.
Works made some exceedingly hard
raps while at the bat. Two Of them drove
! the ball straight at Sweeney, in center
| field, and he could not muff them
Sheridan umpired squarely, and there
! was no dispute over his decisions. Fol-
| lowing is the score:
