The wedding Flower.

The Towering of the Wedding Flow
err" at Kew this year, is an event C more
than ordinary interest, both to be SITS
and horticulturists. 1t is the gianu not
only Of the genus Iris, but of the whole
natural order to which it belongs,
1t is found wild only in a small island
off the east coast of Australia, thousands
of miles distant from the habitant of any
other Iris. While all other Irises may be
grown out of doors, or with a little pro
lection in winter, this one is happy only
when treated to subtropical conditions.
Its value in horticulture is due as much
to its stature and elegance of foliage as
to the size and beauty of it's numerous
flowers.
The flowers last only one day, but there
are SO many of them that the Towering
season extends over long period.
This Iris is known far and wide as the
wedding flower London Garden.

Redeemed After MANY DAYS.

Several years ago resident of Delhi
placed seven five dollar bills for safe
keeping in the fancy piece surmounting
the parlor stove. The latter hardly ever
came into use, and it was his intention
to remove the money on the following
day. 1t SO happened that few days af-
terward some guests arrived at the
house and fire was started in the stove.
AS the stove redeemed into glowing
heat wreath of smoke assembled from
the top piece, and it was soon realized
that the bills were undergoing the proc
ess of cremation. Four of the bills
were entirely consumed, and the other
three were charred almost beyond recog-
milton. The owner, thinking them of no
particular value, kept them in the leaves
Of book as a curiosity. A short time
ago he called friends attention to
them, who said they could be redeemed
at Washington. He sent them on and
last week received three new five dolla1
bills in exchange for his trouble.-Cin-

1t has been made a frequent charge
against the trades unions that they die
tate to every employer how many APP
prentices he shall have. An important
change has been made in this rule by an
agreement between the Mason Builders
association and Bricklayers' union. of
Boston. According to this agreement
any builder may employ as many ap-
prentices as he desires but the ap7
prentice must be indentured for three
years and must serve at least that
length of time. No apprentice can be
released till he is twenty-one years old
no matter at what age be is apprenticed
The master builder must give the ap-
prentice constant employment until his
time expires and must not discharge
him in dull times Thus the natural
law of supply and demand will regulate
the number of brlcklayers' apprentices
in Boston. and no man car hereafter lay
it at the door of the Bricklayers union
at least that his son wants to learn a
given occupation but the trades unions
will not let any employer take him as
an apprentice

Talking Of money reminds me that
Signor Vianesi says he left the Paris
opera, where he has been conductor for
the last four years, because the salary
was not large enough and the work too
exacting. He received 81, 400 year for
ten months work. and very hard work
at that He comes to America and gets
5000 for seven months. Mr.. Abbey's
salary list is formidable one. Miss
Van Zandt gets 1900 a performance,
Miss Eames, $500; Lasalle, the French
baritone, $500; Mime. Albani, $780, and
five other singers from $500 to $500.
There is chorus of eighty, averaging
$50 week, or 81 500, and an orchestra
costing $1,000 week.
The expenses of giving opera with
such company cannot fall below $1,000
a performance, so that even at five dollars
for parquet seat, the price for the
coming season, Mr.. Abbey may not
make fortune. The average cost of
the German performances at the Metro
politan last season was $2,600.-New

The Old OLD Story.

On the same night. recently, in two
different quarters Of large city, two
farmers were robbed, nearly beaten to
death and left on the sidewalk for dead.
Both had brought fine wagon load Of
produce to market. The gentleman
from the rural districts who comes to
the city and gets robbed Of all his money
and nearly murdered Is only less familiar
to newspaper readers than the individ-
ual who is bunkoed or he VINO blows out
the gas at hotel, or perhaps the girl
who pours kerosene on the kitchen fire.
But none of these familiar examples
ever do any good to the person who de-
sires TO zee how it is himself In case OF
the rural man the story is always the
same substantially. He sells his prod
uce, pockets the money. and then goes
out to sstalSe stroll" 1t is little odd
that his fancy for place to ''stroll" in
always leads him to district which no
resident of the city would be apt to visit
unless he was armed. or accompanied by
a policeman and had left all his valua-
bles at home. But the guileless rustic
individual ''stroils' into this queer and
pokerish region with his pocket full Of
money. Just as if he had never read a
newspaper in his life-Md not know how
to read, in fact. He let's strangers
''treat" him. Then he treats strangers:
pulls oat "roll of bills" That is the
end of the story TIL some policeman
finds him, bleeding. stripped even Of his
clothing sometimes. and lying senseless
on the sidewalk.
This is the old story; the moral the
rural individual can pick out for him
self.

Captain kidd on Deck Again.

This time it is not on the shores of
Rhode Island or Long Island or Connec-
ticut that he buried his money. 1t is, OF
all places, away upo the shores of Nova
Scotia 1t was revealed in dream to a
young man, who being coldblooded,
sensible Nova Scotian, might have been
expected to know better. but who seems
not to have, nevertheless.
Captain Kidd and his wicked mate,
Red Beard, took the young man in q
dream through tunnel after tunnel, so
many as to suggest that those old pirates
must have been fond of digging, just for
exercise, and showed to his dazzled eyes
boxes of treasure which the old rascal
promised to young Nova Scotia if he
would give half to the church. This Of
course any right minded person would
promise readily to do, and so the search
has actually begun for Captain Kidd's
treasures once more.
When they are found, doubtless it
will be published in all the journals Of
the day, and here will be the biggest lift
the society for psychic research ever
had. That young mans talents as the
boss dreamer will be in demand at all
points, and even if he was not million
aire already from the pirates treasure
he could shortly become one by reason
of fees showered on him by grateful eli
ents for whom he had dreamed out
things.
We hope the treasure win be found.
If, however, unfortunately through
some untowardness of pesky ''condi-
tons this spook money should fail to
materialize, there will be left to all par
lies still the philosophical reflection that
4 all the time, exertion and thought
that have been spent on Captain Kidd
expeditions had been exercised in honest.
steady work and business enterprise it
certainly would have made somebody

A mirage in the caribbean sea was the
cause of the total loss of the new Ameri-
can barkentine Steadfast, while bound
from Port of Spain to Philadelphia.
When the Steadfast sighted the lofty
peaks of st. Croix the atmosphere as
sumed peculiar light color, and it be-
came impossible to detect the sky from
the island, everything assuming sim
liar shade and color resembling the cir
rostratus clouds, hiding the entire lower
portion of the island. The peaks and
mountain appeared to be twenty miles
away.
The tops of the mountains seemed to
be inverted, the tall cocoanuts appearing
to grow from the sky to the earth. The
sugar grinding mills were pouring their
smoke downward, and the worklnen
working upside down. The Steadfast
was kept under easy sail and perfect con
troll. Everything went well until a
grinding sound was heard, and sudden
tremor went through the ship. The yes
sci crashed over the reefs and was soon
fast on the rocky shore, where her wreck
still remains. The mirage made the
island appear twenty miles away.-Bos-

has evidently taken after careful thought
and courageous determination His
point is that the Jewish Sabbath and the
Christian Sunday are two entirely dif-
ferent institutions.
Sabbath and Sunday are two entirely differ
ent days. The one is not precedent for the
other.
The Sunday law was not written 3.tAlO years

The Presidents Flag.

Why do we not have flag, banner or
standard for use of the president of the
United States? An admiral has his OWL
flag in the navy. general has emblems to
designate his rank, but the president. the
highest official in the land, has nothing
to distinguish him or his presence in a
locality, whether he be in an official or
private capacity, any more than the
humblest John or William in the nation.
There is nothing snobbish or in any
way savoring of the'effete despotisms of
Europe in the suggestion of handsome
distinctive flag for the use of the presi-
dent 1t should float over the White
House when he is at his official resi-
oence; it should wave from his car or
steamer when he is on his travels, Just
as a naval commanders flag is raised
over the flagship. The presidents stand
ard should wave from his carriage when
he is taking part in a procession of patri-
otto citizens, and should be twined with
the stars and stripes upon platform
from which he reviews such spontaneous
outpouriugs of patriotism
There is something fitting and artistic
in this idea of a presidents standard. A
beautiful design could be made by some
artistic American. We have few enough
different flags connected with our vari-
GUS departments of government, and
might well add one or more to the num-
Der. We commend this subject to the

A correspondent writes thus in the
New York World: while setting out an
apple orchard would also plant an equal
number of peach trees, alternating an
apple with a peach. When the apple
trees have reached maturity ample room
is exceedingly important. When at their
best they should have at least thirty five
feet space each way. and forty would
be even better Many years. however,
will elapse before they will require all
the ground devoted to them. and during
these early years, what in the newly
planted orchard seems like waste of
ground may be utilized by planting
peach between the apple trees. These
will have passed their period of useful
ness without any damage to the grow
ing orchard, and if d few are remaining
when the space they occupy is. wanted
they can be cut down. | know that
some argue against this plan, but have
seen good many fine crops of peaches
raised in this way without discovering
that any injury whatever was done to
