| spends about 5000, 900 on lilies of the val
ley. That Is standby, and, like the
white lilac, bunch of lilies of the valley
must grace some fancy table, from which,
placed in one of those exquisite gilt crys-
tai vases, it must send out its delicate fra
GRANGE. The forced winter lilies of the
valley are grown from German bulbs.
They are sent to Paris looking like dried
bundles of roots and in twenty days these
roots shoot out leaves and are made to
bloom luxuriously. They are cultivated
from.April to October. But in the spring
and summer they have the spontaneous
lily of the valley, which is so abundant
that ten cents will buy delicious bunch.
Young Meserole, who was acquitted of
the charge of murder in Brooklyn short
time ago, notwithstanding the fact that
he had shot down his man in cold blood,
was formally received into Plymouth
Church on Sunday. Since his acquittal
the young man has been doing missionary
work in the Brooklyn slums, holding ser
vices nightly, and telling the wicked TO
repent of their sins. Last week he made
application to DIR. Lyman Abbott for
membership in his church. DR.. Abbott
referred him to the membership commit
tee, and they reported fayorably upon his
application. If anybody needs to belong
to the church this young man does.
Senator Stanford is said to have some
curious notions about magnetism. He
thinks that this quality or force can be de-
veloped in men and horses by intelligent
effort, and in breeding thoroughbreds on
his California stock farm he has made ex-
periments to that end. The triumphs of
Sunol and Palo Alto prove his theories to
be correct, he thinks. To a friend he is
reported to have said: 'In short, my So
cret is this: cultivate the horses magnet
lam and intelligence; let him know 1
want his utmost, but let him understand
will not press him too far; then he trusts
me and does his best They know me as
children would and manifest attachment
for me. 1 have found that if you press q
horse too far for an instant you may be
weeks getting back where you were.

Herr Kolle, president of the company
which proposes to build for Berlin under
ground railroads, explained his plan to a
public meeting on Under the Linden the
other day He wishes to build q north
and south, an east and west, and belt
line, with a total length of thirty-one
miles, Each line will be ouble-tracked,
and the tunnels will be III feet high and
10 feet wide. Passengers will be carried
up and down to each of the fortye eight
stations in elevators. Each train will con-
sist of three coaches, with total seating
| capacity of 100 persons, and locomotive
The speed will be fifteen miles an hour,
| and the trains will move about third
of mile apart. For the whole system Ga
locomotives and IT'S coaches will be neces-
sary. The fare will be p cents for all
distances, and the company calculates that
the annual passenger trade would be 6l,-
000, 1000 fares. The operating expenses
would be $3.50, 600 annually, and the con-
struction would cost S10,000,0 900. The
building would require three years, and
the principal obstacle to be encountered
is the wetness of the ground on which
Berlin rests. The depth of the tunnels
below the surface would vary under the
Friedrich Strasse forty feet.
