The Cir, and the Young Man.

A young lady entered an Elmwood car the
other day. and her rich toilet attracted con-
siderable attention. Drawing her skirts
around her. she gazed persistently out of the
window of the car.
On the opposite side sat q ncatly-attired
young man with very white hands and an air
generally suggestive OF the clergy or trav-
eler In soap specialties. He glanced at the
fair vision In the corner from time to time,
and she looked furtively at him from beneath
her lashcs, and with pretty puckering of
the brow seemed trying TO recall where she
had met him. That his face was familiar
was evident, and finally deciding that he
rightfully belonged to the amy of captives
Pier last summer. she concluded TO end his
misery by recognizing him. So turning with
a little start of recognition. their eyes mot,
and shc bowed stifliy.
He seemed delighted, and changing his seat
20 her side, he said: "You are very kind to re-
member me-" 30, no." she replied with an
air of polite reserve. II recall perfectly itho
occasion on which we met" A few common
places followed. and emboldcned by his sue
cess the gentleman said gravely as ne pro-
duced card, ~ hope you will permit me to
call upon you again"
She glanced at the card, n wave of color
swept over her face, ana the car stopping she
drew down her veil and bounted out with the
swiftness Of tennis ball.
The address upon the card was -. G.
chiropodist. Corns and bunions extracted
without pain"

ance, which ortlains that no one shall
wear in his button-hole or lapel of his
coat the rosette or ribbon of any for
eign order without previously having
obtained the permission of the grande
chancellerie of the legion of honor.
Nobody except the members of the
French diplomatic corps and of the
army and navy ever goes TO the trou-
BILE of getting this permission, and 1
have never known anybody to be sem
fenced to imprisonment or even fine
for the infraction of this statute, if
statute IL can be called.
One afternoon the clubman In ques-
tion wns visiting the annual exhibi-
ton Of pictures at the Cercle de rUnion
Artistique, when suddenly, while In
the act of leaving the club, he was ar
rested by two policemen in civilian
dress, hustled into cab and driven off
to the depot OF the prefecture of po-
lice. There he was kept for twenty
four hours in custody, and was only re-
leased late on the following day with
a severe admonition ON the part of the
commissaries of police for wearing in
his buttonhole the light blue and white
rosette of the order of Charles III. of
Spain without having obtained the per-
mission to do so from the chancellerie
Of the legion Of honor. On returning
home he found that during his absence
a commissary of police and several ss-
sistants had visited his apartments and
carefully ransaclced his papers-made
q perquisition, as il is called In official
phraseology-andh had removed all the
letters addressed to him by che vicom-
tesse in question.
OF course it was hopeless for him 20
endeavor to obtain any redress for the
outrage thus perpetrated, for in
France, and indeed almost anywhere
else on the continent, the magistrates
and judges, instead of being indcpcn-
dent, are merely dependent for the
maintenance Of their positions, for pro-
motion and for honors In the shape of
orders and decorations upon the gov
ernment Of the day. 4

SUCCULENT FRUITS.
PROSP ECTS FOR THE PEACH CROP
SAID TO BE GOOD.
Strawberries are Ripe and Plentiful.
Apples VIII be Plenty. but Pears May
be Somewhat Scarce.

The fruit season Is just opening up,
aud the supply and quality promises to
be equal TO, IL not exceed that OF year
ago. Some time ago the usual report
was sent through the land that the late
frosts had DESTROYED the peach crop.
Local wholesale dealers saw. however.
that from the porte the; nave received
from the peach growing districts the
crop this year will be, IL ANYTHING, larxer
than that Of year .ago. While tLey do
not anticipate any material change in
price they think the tendency will be
toward lower rates.
Rhode Islanders are great peach eaters
and the annual consumptio OF the fruit
is something ell ormous. Some very fine
peaches are raised In the state, but the
quantity il very small compared with the
,..mand II commands a high price,
EoSever, aud IL Is paid without COM
piaint.
There is a plentiful supply of s;riwber-
ries i'm the market and the wholesale
price this morning was s and 8 cents a
box. This is about the same ms last year.
There Is n prospert Of q still lover price
before the season ends. The berries nov
coming to market are from Maryland,
but in n week or ut NEST in two weeks
Rhode Island aud Massachusetts will
begin to supply the demand. AS rule.
those grown in his vicinity are much
bett.r In quality than those receive
from the South. Two reasons are give
for this. In the first place local growers
select better vines, and. In the second.
they give more attention 10 the cultiva-
tion aud care OF the fruit than do the
Sou hern fruit rasers.
Besides this, berries raished near here
arrive in the market in fresher and bet
ter coalition than those which come
from The Solth. They are brought to
market sometimes on the same day they
ars picked and never later than the fol-
lowing day. The southern berries do not
reach here until two and sometimes three
days after picking and consequently 10
much of their flavor aud freshness. The
supply of home raised berries promises
to be larger this year than heretofore.
Watermelons will not begin to come in
| for a few weeks. Reports indicate that
the crop will be above the AVERAGE In
quantity and quality. Melons come from
as far south as Savannah and as far nor h
as New Jersey. Can elopes are raised In
large quantities In this vicinity and very
| few are brought from the south.
Contrary TO general expectations there
| promises to bs u plentiful supply OF ap-
| pies this year. Last year the crop was
large. and IL was generally thought that
| this ould prove al OFT year, buo such Is
not the case, il present indications are
not greatly at fault Pears. however.
will be short in supply. and OF poorer

Pretty, Pretty Roses.

II will not DO long low before tho modest
wild rose will lift its head in the meadows
and the cultivated rose in the gardens. both
lading the air with their rich fragrance and
telling us what before was known, but not so
forcibly, that sweet summer in all her beauty
is here.
With such seasonable weather as this who
remembers that winter was long drawn out
and that spring was so backward and shy?
And who cares? June is here, glorious June
and IL is the month of roses. Quoth the pas
sionate shepherd to his love:
Ana will make thee beds OF roses
And a thousand fragrant posies,
and Il must have been in June when he made
his promise.
Various are the traditions In regard to the
rose. A Jewish maid OF Bethlehem (whom
Southey names Zillah) was beloved by but
ish sot called Hamuel, writes Sir John Man
deville. Zllah did not return the love and
Hamuel caused her to be burned alive. When
brought to the stake the flames burnt Hamnel
TO a cinder, but did no harm to Zillah. The
people surrounding beheld her standing n a
garden Of roses for the brands which had
been kindled became red roses, and the others
which did not take fire, were white roses.
These were the first roses which bloomed on
the earth since the loss of Paradise.
There is Mussulman tradition accordir e
to which the sweat from the brow of Moham met
that fell on the earth sprung up and produced
white roses. The sweat from Al Borak, the
animal he rode, fell and produced yellow roses.
The rose is one of the oldest, IL not the
oldest, of flowers; at least II is one of the ear
liest mentioned. In the days of Isaiah doubt
less the rose was as much admired as now,
for that prophet wrote, 'The desert shall re-
joice. and blossom as the rose"
So when the roses finally bloom and we
pluck them, we will see that they are not only
pretty flowers. Rather, IL we follow their
course down from the time of Isaiah. we will
find ourselves taken into history, poetry and
fiction OF the most interesting kind. Poets
and novelists have ever been partial to roses.
and the war of the roses forbid, the historic
from forgetting them.

II is not often dog can attract crowd on
Westminster street by keeping quiet, but
pointer kept the sidewalk pretty well filed
one morning lately by q very clever attempt
TO catch an English sparrow that sat chirping
on one of the rails in front Of a store.
When the show opened the pointer was
some distance from the bird. His approach
was. however. so stealthily made that the bird
was not aware Of its danger, and later when
II saw the dog seemed held as by charm.
The dog in the act of pointing would at times
have made good model for statue. lie
approached near enough so as TO almost touch
the bird. but missed calculation slightly. and
instead Of devouripg its victim struck the
rail on which tho bird was pcrched.
This broke'the spell. Tho bird few of. the
crowd dispersed and the dog trottcd of with
n very contented air as II IL had done pretty
well, satisfied even though the bird did still

ans great English melodrama, now be.
ing produced ut Lothrop's Providence
museum, is without doubt the finest
play Of this description ever seen on Lo-

constructed a villain OF the deepest dye.
Radcliffe not only betravs and leads In n
life OF misery a warm-hearted, innocent
English girl, but Is a thief, and in order
to practice that profession uses his sou Of
tender years in the prosecution Of his
crimil lal work. As PLAYED by William
Cattell the role became SO utterly de-
with continuous marks Of disapproval,

Kate Glassford. Miss Glassford

scenes with Redcliffe her acting was oI
a high order OF merit aud received from
the audience the recognition that IT. de-
served Mr.. William De Shelley
