People who live in the country can
not fail to notice how eager city resi-
dents are to gather wild flowers. On
any fine Sunday you may see people re-
turning to the city at evening by thou
sands, each one carrying flowers of
some kind New York seems to be ac
curing the Partisan love for little trips
to the fields and hills and woods on
holidays. Her citizens take their wives
and children and picnic baskets for a
day in the open air.
Whereas they go forth in the morn
ing carrying luncheons, they come back
at night with flowers. The varieties OF
these range as broadly as the tastes OF
man One person is satisfied with a
dainty sprig or dash of green. An
other runs to brilliant colors. The
thrifty housewife brings home a whole
arnful of assorted flowers to distribute
about the house, but however the in
clination shows itself as regards indi
vidual preferences, it is plain to SET
that New Workers are a flower loving
people. New York Tribune.

Historic Waverley Abbey,

One of the more beautiful and inter
esting architectural relics in England
is the refectory of WaverIey Abbey,
near Farnhan. 1t is a choice specimen
of the finest early English and the most
important fragment of the great CHS
tercian house. 1t was, next to the
church-which is now an irredeemable
wreck-the most important center OF
the establishment, and therefore de-
serves our best attention. What re-
mains of it is fine vaulted chamber
with groined roof, divided in the mid
die by three detached columns of Pur-
beck marble The whole is of elegant
proportions and fine execution.
The vault, of good rubble work, is
still intact although rain has pene-
trated the roof ever since the upper
story of the building was destroyed cen
turtles ago. 1t will not, however, con
tinue as it is much longer unless means
are taken to stop the percolation OF the
water, which daily removes mortar from
between the stones, and will ultimately
cause the vault to fall Ii a layer OF
good concrete were laid outside above
the vault, and its surface arranged sc
as to shed the watsr into drain, which
would cost but very small sum, this
building would stand in its present con
dition for centuries to come, and neee
no further care. The present owner de

Being Realized.

1t was predicted by The American
Manufacturer, Railroad Gazette and
many other class journals five years
ago that the result of laboring mems
unions would be an offensive and de-
fensive alliance on the part of great
firms and corporations. The prediction
has come true, and there is no sort OF
doubt that all the prominent railroad
men have organized, and that iron
men, shoemen and other manufactur-
ers are quietly banding together for
mutual protection. Detroit Free Press'

The Ideal Cattle Barn.

DR.. Austin Peters addressed the meet
ing OF farmers in Bottom last week on
the sanitary needs of stables and otner
farm buildings. He said that animals
kept in stable under gOoi hygieniC
condition are much less likely to disease
and recover more quickly from sick ness
than where improper sanitary con.
ditjons prevail. Large cubic capacity,
while a desirable consideration in Il
table, render ventilation none the less
necessary. Winds, caused by ditferen;
air pressures, will. il doors and win,
pows be placed on opposite sides of the
building, operate well, provided the
Temperature outside is not too low. DR..
Peters described good arrangement
for cattle barn thus: There should be
a ventilator in the roof, plenty of win
dows behind the cattle and doors that
can be left open occasionally The Gus
tom of having very close, warm stables,
while the amount of food consumed NAV
be less, endangers the health of the ami
mai and promotes contagious diseases.
The animal is also liable 10 take cold on
being let out into cold winter air The
custom of having manure cellars under
barns requires ventilation for the cellar
and very tight floors. A sick animal es
pecially needs plenty OF fresh air and TIE
animal heat should not be kept un entire
y by close quarters, but by blankets and
bandages.
