PRETTY MATTRESSES.

Success.

OF Course, This Experiment Was n Grea
Success.
Women will resort to most dreadful
methods to get the men into their af-
ternoon teas. A pretty tea drinker
said: Afternoon teas are bore, any
way, but society has to keep them up,
for the English, you know, would as
soon think of giving up their five o'clock
leverage as their dinner. We keep up
the teas, therefore, and struggle to get
the men into them, but man doesn't
like to come at all.
Now, I'll tell you what an intimate
friend of mine did to get the men at her
teas. She told me all about her plan
before she put it in operation, and 1
was awfully shocked, and am still. She
declared that the men wouldn't come to
teas to sec girls that they saw all day
long and were to see later in the even
ing, but if she could introduce fem
mime novelty into the house they would
congregate to see it. So her idea was,
she said, to get lot of pretty girl wait
resses from the country houses round
about, put them into charming little
French gowns and caps, and have them
pass the tea about to the company.
Well, she started out and engaged a
half dozen perfectly lovely girls, and
then clcverly spread the fact abroad.
The men came out of curiosity, they
saw the six fresh, pink country girls in
neat dresses, and Immediately my
friends afternoon teas were a success.
Oh. yes, / do mean to say that the
naughty men came just to look at those
country girls. "-Philadelphia Press.

THE FLORAL CLOCK.
Timepieces Constructed of Various Kinds
of Flowers.

Timepieces Constructed of Various Kinds
of Flowers.
The hour at which each flower opens
is so uniform that by watching them
floral clocks of considerable accuracy
can be arranged. Father Kircher had
dreamed of it, but vaguely and without
pointing out anything. 1t is to Linneus
that we must ascribe the ingenious
idea of indicating all the hours by the
time at which plants open or shut their
corollos.
The Swedish botanist had created a
flower clock for the climate which he
inhabited, but as in other ATTITUDES a
more radiant dawn makes the flowers
earlier, Lamarck was obliged to con-
struct for France another clock, which
is little in advance of the Swedish
one.
The following list of flowers is
adapted to France: Mornings. to

or intybus (chicory); (, sonchus olera-

The Horse.

The Arabian horse is model of beau.
ty, and the Arab treats his horse as on 9
of the family; it lives in the same tent
with him, eats from his hand, and
sleeps among his children, who tumble
about on it without the least fear. Few
Arabs can be induced to part with a
favorite horse. The big and powerful
dray horse is the Flanders breed.
Wales and the Shetland isles produce a
breed forming great contrast to the
Flanders horse. The Shetlie, as it is
called, is very small, its height being,
sometimes, only thirtY-four inches, but
it is very strong and sure-footed, carry
ing it's rider with perfect safety along
the most terrific precipices, and almost
invariably choosing to walk on the
very edge.-Detroit Free Press.

"A young wife in Georgia is about
to sue for divorce on the ground of vio-
lation of the marriage contract. She
alleges that when, before marriage, she
told her sweetheart she was willing to
share his poverty and live on bread and
water, he pledged his sacred honor that
if she would furnish the bread he
would hustle around and get the water.
And so they were married; but hardly
was the honeymoon ended before the
collector came around and cut off the
street pipe for non-payment of the
water rent.
