\ tramp dropped in on Charles Phillips
the other day and asked for lunch.
Phillips thought his house was able to fur
nish a comfortable lunch for one man so
he complied with the tramp's request, or
dering what he might want set before him.
The tramp commenced quietly on two
quarts of baked beans, which soon disap-
peared and they were followed by seven
large doughnuts, six ginger snaps, six
slices of bread, one pound hogs-head cheese,
five pieces OF pie, five cups of tea, one
tumbler of water, quarter pound of butter
and one quart of milk. Phillips has been
congratulating himself ever since that
the tramp didn't ask for a square meal

Mr. Allen, the florist. i'm conversation
the other day. expressed the opinion that
the chrysanthcmm craze has reached it,
height and will now decline, for the rea-
son that all the choice varictic, of that tioW-
er have become so common that everybody
can have them. and there is no money left
in their cultivation. Ia other words, the
craze was a fad, and has seen its halcyon
DAYS like every other fad. Mr.. Allen him
self produced over 1000 of the blooms
this season. but the money he realized
from their sale was hardly more than he
would get for greenhouse flowers on any
important social occasion. In talking
about il, Mr.. Allen referred to an article in
a recent number OF the American Florist,
published just following the New York
chrysanthemum show. in which the writer
expresses an opinion similar To his own.
Flowers which once sold for 81 a dozen
this mans customers wouldn't look at this
year, principally because they had grown
too common" "When any flower grows
so cheap that the dude can strut down
Broadway with a bunch of them in his
button hole the club men wont touch Them
and so il goes all through the social scale. -
English violets choice roses and carna-
tions, will always cost money and can new
er 60 out of style. BY the way, group
of different varieties of carnations, grown
by Mr.. Allen, and all new within two
years, illustrate in a very effective and
charming way the progress which is being
made i'm the cultivation of these beautiful
flowers.

has there been a more marked advance with
in ten. or even within five years, than in
the furniture trade. 1t is true that manu-
facturers and designers are to be credited
with a large share of the improvement, but
the fact remains that the Bratteboro deal
ers have kept their stores fully abreast
with the times in both the variety and the
quality of goods offered to their custom
ers. The Emerson store is remarkably
wen adapted to this class of trade, and one
need not 90 back many years TO lind time

They have made the most of their store

they present, and they have the goods to
back the display. Modern machinery,
