Persian Flower Worship.

A recent traveller in India gives CasselPs Journal the following de. scription of flower worship as prac- ticed by the Persian, in flowing robe of blue, and on his head a sheep skin hat-black, glossy, curly, the fleece of Kar-Kal-would saunter in and stand meditatively over every flower he saw, and always as if half in vision. And when the vision was fulfilled, and the ideal flower he was seeking found. she would spread his mat and Sit before it until the setting of the sun, and then fold up his mat again and go home.
 And the next night, and night after night, until that particular flower faded away, he would return to it and bring his friends in eyer increasing troops to it, and sit and play the guitar or lute before it, and they would all together pray there, and after prayer still sit be- fore it, slipping sherbet and talking the most hilarious and shocking scandal late into the moonlight, and so on every evening until the flower died. Sometimes, by the way of grind finale, the whole company would suddenly arise be- fore the flower and serenade it to- gether with an ode from Hafx and depart.

Tart Enough.

The tradesman who is willing to misrepresent his goods to suit the whim of the purchaser often finds himself in unpleasant positions. He is a fortunate man if he can succeed inextricating himself from such dilemmas at the mere cost of his own dignity.
 A lady who was in search of some oranges for making jelly one day stopped at the fruit stand where she was accustomed to trade.
 "Are these Valencias~ she asked of the obseqHious dealer.
 "Yes, ma'am, Valencias here, Floridas there"
 ''Do you think the valencias are very sour?"
