1t Is said that two poor Partisan women, who
earn livelihood by making artificial flowers,
have hit on a process for dying natural flowers
in brilliant hues. Public attention WAS called
to the matter by florists who received in a lot
OF flowers some swee. Williams Of a BRIGHT
green color. II seems that one Of the women
poured some paint into q bowl in which some
natural nowers she was copying had been put
In water. The next day she was astounded to
ind that the flowers had assumed the hue of
the paint Being woman of inquiring mind
she continued experimenting and succeeded in
producing various colors never intended bv ma
ture, but very available in art She ir,medi-
ately commenced dyeing flowers for the mar
ket, and extended her practice to other sorts OF
blossoms, including white Iilacs and camelas.
The only eolors employed by her at present are
violet, green and pink. The violet is obtained
by using the ''violet OF Paris" dye, and the
other two are due to two chemical compounds
with long names, one OF which contains twelve
and the other twenty sylables.

what WIN Become Of Books.

Experts are predicting that the books of to-

century. The paper in the books that have
survived two or three centuries was made by

strong chemicals, while the ink was made Of nut

powerful acids, while the ink is a compound Of

From tie Atlanta Constitution.
The real "befo' -de-wah' negro wit 10 seldom
seen now, but this incident will show that he ia
not entirely gone. Sam, a very lazy gar
dener, was bending over row Of peas in q
rather shady corner Of the garden and was
well pleased at his employer remaining in
doors. But when she came to give some
orders, inspect the growing plants and put
Sam to real work, he bethought himself of an
expedient to get rid Of her. Shifting the air
and looking around he muttered: ..Sho's 8
you Dawn dars er snake bin round here. +"
Then, as she did not hear him. he repeated
his remark. Gathering her skirts she beat a
hasty retreat. and from safe distance asked
him how he knew there was a snake around
"Oh, smells EN- l kin allup smell EN- when
| cum where dey's bin" This was enough for
the lady and she retreated to the house.
Looking out from the window Of the house
she saw the old negro holding his sides and
laughing heartily at his own shrewdness. His
plan worked, and he had an easy time of it the
rest of that day.

SUGGESTION FOR THE G. A. R. COMMITTEE.
at seems to me that it would be an excellent
idea for the executive committee having charge
of the national encampment to secure from the
War Department a plan Of Washington as it
was during the period of the war, showing the
various hospitals, military barracks and other
buildings that were occupied by the army and
then transfer these to the present plat of the
city SO that the visiting veterans could at least
60 to the localities which they once knew and
personally see the great change that had taken
those who were wounded and brought here and
lay for weeks or months in the hospitals under
treatment. They will be surprised to see
handsome private residences where they re-
member but the low wooden buildings that
formed the hospital wards. The eavaIrymen
who we're encamped on what is now Connecti-
cut avenue will hardly be able to locate their
former quarters among the handsome resi-
dences in that fashionable quarter. but if thev
have a map showing between what streets their
former camp was located it would be interest
ing for them to go ont there and see the alter
ations that have taken place.
II look forward to seeing very nearly half a
| million OF people In Washington during the
national encampment next September. / be-
lieve that their coming will do more to implant
in the minds OF the people throughout the en-
tire country an affection and pride for the cap
| ital city OF this great republic than any event
which has occurred in our history. and think
| that it Is the duty OF every resident of WASH
ington to do everything in his power to aid tina
committee having the arrangements in charge,
so that no veteran shall go away without feeling
| that he has enjoyed greater measure of COM
fort and satisfaction than has been accorded
him at any encampment Of the Grand Army
