The Original Portion of Him, However,
Preserves rs C.eerfuiness.
The clerks of the Grand say that
the most cheerful MAJ that ever
staid there, was NJ. Bowling, Of Min
neapolis, and he had 5000 worth of
wooden legs and wooden arms. He
wore them all himself. Without
them he would not, to all appear
ances, have made much Of a showing.
Set up on his high cork legs. how
ever, and with his arms pieced out
with the same material, he would
burst into the hotel like a ray of
light on a dark, cloudy day. He
was the victim Of one of the playful
blizzards of Minnesota. When il
was I've and he was gathered up
from the snow it was difficult to tell
what pieces would withstand the al
lurements Of the gravedigger.
Some of him survived, however,
and then he set about to sec what he
could do. Both legs were off close to
the body. His left forearm was gone,
and all he had remaining was the
smallest stump of the thumb on the
right hand. He practiced for awhile
walking with the heavy leathern
boots which everybody has see leg
less men veal Finally he raised
enough money to buy cork extrem-
tiles.
Mr.. Downing likes a joke, and
when stopped on the street here and
impOrtuned for aims by men with
one leg Or arm, or both legs or arms
gone, would Immediately take them
to restaurants and load them up with
a big dinner, all the time listening to
their tale of misfortune with the
greatest interest.
When it was, all over his face
would tighten, and much to their as
constituent he would begin shocking
his legs and arms, exposing the hypo-
critical material of which they were
made. At the same time he would
tell how glad he would be if he was
only as well supplied with legs and
arms as they were. He would next
tell them to brace up, take heart and
begin to learn something useful to
support themselves.
Mr.. Bowling cannot use a can be
cause he cannot hold one. Therefore
without aid he is forced to make his
way, He has learned to do it SO
well that he can outrun any able
bodied man, however skillful he may
be, who will hop while he runs. He
has learned to grasp a pen or pencil
with the small stump of a thumb,
and he writes a beautiful hand very
rapidly. San Francisco Examiner.

The Way of the TransgressOr.

Jepson had married his wife for
no reason in the world except that
she had money, though he lied to
her like a pirate, and she thought it
was a love match. Naturally welded
life was not sweet, and Jepson was
getting the bitterest end Of it. One
day he met a friend.

wife of mine will drive me crazy"
whats the matter now" inquired
the friend consolingly.
you know my wife has $3.50, 900,
ard you know I married her for it
and got it. There is no use lying
about that any further"
The friend bowed in acquiescence.
well, do you know that she has
divided the whole thing up into sums
of 500 each and proposes to have
me arrested 1,500 times for obtaining
money under false pretenses? Think
of that, will you? Did you ever hear
of such a wOman?" And Jepson went
into a spasm.-Detroit Free Press.

MASTER AND EX-SLAVE.
The Kind Hearted Negro Tells Why He
Is Today a Poor Man.

The Kind Hearted Negro Tells Why He
Is Today a Poor Man.
One of those picturesque incidents
which count for much was the meet
ing, for the first time since recon-
struction days, of a Mississippi negro
with his white master of old times.
Master and ex-slave were equally
prompt in their recognition of each
other. The former has been living
in the north for twenty years; the
latter has stuck by the old planta-
ton, a part of which has fallen into
his hands as proprietor.
Both were ~overjoyed at the meet
ing and went over to a quiet corner
to talk about old times. Every
friend the negro met on the way had
to be stopped and introduced to my
young Mars'r F., dat I learned ter
ride when he was a leetle chap an
owned me-" There was nc false
sham about the freedman because OF
his past; he bore his masters SUI
name-the only one him or his an
cestors in America had ever known,
and his references to "Our family"
were made with an air Of conscious
superiority to some of the trash"
around him who ''hadn't never been
owned by nobody in particular"
The southern aristOcrat, who has
had his many ups and downs since
he came north, was curious to learn
how his old body servant had Jared

the divine blessing.

prayer. Send more light to guide

MEAN what, my child?"
"That you want more light"
The minister beamed cordially
upon the youthful face. It pleased
him to note signs of a religious
awakening in the boyish mind.
Certainly, my dear the mother
declared.

Rattan Comes from Singapore.

Strange as it may seem many peo-
pie imagine that rattan and willow
furniture are the same. Rattan is
the Chinese importation, brought
direct from Singapore, and is reed
susceptible of bending double with
out even cracking. It possesses, be-
sides this, great firmness and strength,
and a chair of rattan could be thrown
from an express train and picked up
intact. Rattan is therefore used for
such articles as baskets and lighter
ornamental furniture. Each has it's
use, the rattan, however, being bet
ter adapted for working up into in
tricate designs, so eagerly sought in
modern artistic furniture .-New Or

THE ROSE PARK OF NICE.


A Garden in France Where Roses Arc
Grown on a Very Large Scale.
have several times had occasion
to visit the famous Park of Roses at
Nice. The flowers there are the
most beautiful in the world.
Both banks of the Var + Dor
dered by a line of hills Of some
height, which are prolonged as far as
the sea. The hills on the left bank
aid in protecting the whole plain of
Nice from the northwest wind.
Toward the southern extremity of
these hills, on very rich, alluyial soil,
is the Carras quarter, in which are
the principal market gardens of
Nice. In that quarter, also, a little
higher up the hill, is the Josephine
villa, or Park of Roses.
Here roses are cultivated eXclu-
sively for sale in winter as cut flow
ers. Out of the twenty-eight OF
thirty acres which the property com
prises about ten acres are devoted to
the purpose of forcing the o trees,
and are covered with very numerous
small greenhouses or extensive hot
bed frames, one or the other of these
being always in use for furthering
the production of the flowers. The
total surface covered with glass ex-
ceeds 5000 square meters, OF an acre
and a half.
Naturally it is during the months
of active sale, from November to
April, that the principal harvest oc-
ours, but even in the spring and sum-
mel the very beautiful rose grown
under shelter are in demand by the
dealers. These roses are the only
ones, or nearly the only ones, which
show a purity of perfect tint, exempt
on the outside petals from the discol-
Grafton, the veining and folds, which
are caused by the bite Of cold, too
warm sunstrokes d. prolonged hui
Nudity.
During the summer the movable
sides of the greenhouses are taken
away, and there remains only the
glass roof which protects the flowers
from the transforms.
The proprietor and founder of the
establishment is Mr.. Antoine Mari.
1t may be said hat the most striking
feature of his mode of cultivation is
the simplicity of the NEAR employed
and their perfect adaptation to the
end to be attained, which is to obtain
an abundant and continued prOduc-
ton Of flowers without great expense
and without eXhausting the plants.
A rosebush, as is known, does not
require a high temperature. Certain
varieties, like the saffron rose, con
tinue to put forth buds and flowers
all winter long in Provence, and well
developed roses of that variety can
be picked at the end of November
even in the climate of Paris. At Mr..
Mari's place the rose trees are planted
either in three lines parallel to each
other, for the bushy variety, or in
the case of those with flexible stalks.
each by itself, something like grape
vines, as for instance, the Marechal
Mel. They Ire sheltered by frames
just high enough above the ground
to allow a man walking about inside.
At the height of the season, from
Dec. Is to April IS, the Park of Roses
sends away an average of 500 dozen
roses a day.-Henry de Vilmorin in

and extends one of it's flippers as if

Sometimes it gets out of its tub
and hammers away at the yard gate
and cries like a petulent child until
some one lets it out. Then it wobbles
down into the street and buTies itself
in the dust until it is hidden from

A Uniuue Way of Advertising.

Many years ago, in a certain very pic.
turesque locality in Devonshire, where
the hills are exceedingly steep, it was
attempted to establish among the in
habitants a case of goiter. This little
ailment is supposed only to occur in
mountainous countries, and it was natu-
rally thought it would be al excellent
advertisement of the place, SO far as the
hills were concerned, to produce such a
proof of their precipitous character. 1t
turned out to be an ordinary throat dis
ease, which unfortunately yielded to
remedies; but the idea was ingenious,
and as only too often happens it has
been borrowed. - London Illustrated

A Refreshing OperatiOn.

Wash the head, especially the back
part, in water just as hot as can be
borne. Take a sponge or towel, soak
it in the hot water, and put it on the
back of the neck, holding the head
down and letting the hot water run
over it. Repeat this four or five
minutes and the face will look like
a boiled lobster. Then take a dash
of cold water, wipe the head dry, lie
down for fifteen minutes and one
will feel like a new man or woman.

the best thing in the world to give a
good, clear complexion.-New York
