Separate Sexes in Flowers.

New York Independent .
1t has been recently noted, es-
pecially in the Dahlia and the
chrysantemum, what incidentally
a German author, Hildebrand, has
some years ago adverted to, that
certain forms of flowers follow the
sexual differences. in most COM
pOsitR, for instance, the ray flOret
of the tubular character are hers
maphrodite-have stamens and
pistils in the same flower. This is
notably the case in the dahlia and
chrysanthemum. The ray fiorets
are strap shaped and are female
only. But under the hand of the
florist double dahlias and double
chrysantemums are given to us,
the doubling being in these cases
nothing more than changing the
tubular tloret into a strap shaped
One.i tSsa. ssiAfkf;Fsgs" Rssss'
But the purely pistillate condi-
ton follows the regulate coralla,
and purely double dahlia has the
whole flower consist of pistils only,
and the stamens have wholly dis
appeared with the tubular florets.
Just why these coincidents should
exist has not yet been explained
by vegetable biologists. More at
tentiOn is now being given to these
subjects than formerly, as it is be-
lieved their study will throw much
light on the laws which regulate
the production of the separate sexes
in flowers.

same length of time. He has led
the council in the way it should go
in relation to all questions regard
ing labor. All with whom he came
in contact are impressed with his
singleness of purpose, and his hon
est desire to do justly and deal
fairly. Personally and in physique,
temperament and character, Burns
is a thorough-going workingman.
Much of his success is due to a
somewhat Spartan mother, his
own ideals being expressed in the
phrase, spartan simplicity" in
private and public muniticence. 1t
is predicted that he will one day
fill the position of Lord Mayor of
London.

Winning Bet in Rotten Row.

During Her Majesty's recent
stay in London, the equestrians on
the bride path in Rotten Row
were surprised one bright after
noon by the passage of the royal
carriage through their ranks-a
privilege which is only allowed
the Sovereign and the Duchess of
st Albans-the former, owing to
her being the first lady in the land,
and the latter because of her con-
sort, the hereditary grand falcOner.
When the queen was thus seen
taking advantage of her rights, it
recalled to memory little Incl
dent that occurred some 20 years
ago and which is now revived
by a London journalist. 1t seems
that, at that time, when Victoria
was still young, the subject of this
privilege arose during the course
of conversation, at a well known
London club. A great social sport,
who was present, discredited the
story, and Immediately laid a
wager that he could himself drive
down the ride, in broad daylight,
without interference. His offer
was Immediately accepted and a
large sum put up. The next morn
ing being fixed for the ride, the
elite turned out in full force and
waited for the stroke of u, which
was the appointed hour. The bell of
tOiled, but nothing was
seen save few horsemen and the
rustic watering cart, which was
sprays upon the dry
path. Several of the bystanders
turned away in disgust while the
club men jubilantly rubbed their
hands. However,as the clock tolled
the last stroke of II, the man on
the water cart jumped TO the
ground, threw off his grindy coat
and revealed himself to be the sue
cessful winner of the bet, amid the
loud cheers and soft means of his
friends and disappointed cOllea-
CUES, whose loss was esti-
mated at several hundreds of
pounds. ]

The Florida Butcher Bird.

De Land Correspondence of the Spring
field Republican.
During some twenty-five years
residence in Berkshire county | do
not remember ever seeing the bird,
and did not suppose they migrated
so far north. They are very COM
mon here in Florida and are gen.
orally known by the name of
butcher bird, and it seems have the
same traits, everywhere. Most va
rieties of orange trees, especially
Seeding trees, are covered with
thorns, often or inches long. 1t
is common to find beetles, grass
hoppers, katydids and the harm
less chameleon impaled on these
thOrns, and one often surprises the
bird in his cruelties. l was once
taking dinner with a friend in
town. The windows were open and
in the room was a canary in its cage.
Suddenly butcher bird darted in
a window and flew around the bird
cage. The poor little canary seemed
fascinated and drawn to the side of
the cage, when the cannibal thrust
its head in between the wires and,
with a most deXterous twist, took
off the head of the canary, and
dropping it on the table near my
plate. flew out of the window. So
quickly was it done that, though
seven persons sat at the table,
none of us realized the catastrophe
until the helpless little head fell
ON the table.
Only a couple of weeks ago I
came across two boys on the road
who had killed a black-snake,so some
) or 6 feet long, which they were
stretching across the road. While
standing looking at the snake, and
within few feet of it, a butcher
bird bounced down and, almost as
quick as lightning, seized and
twisted the end of the tail and flew
away with some 4 inches of it to
ornament some thorn on an
orange tree.

ton. With the recent rains and
threatening sunshine, many were
doubtful as to the staying qualities
of our crystal bridge. But with an
insufficient quantity OF water in the
river to bear the ice away and cold
wave to bear it up, there remains no
real cause for apprehension and the
traffic will presumably go on undis-
turbed for another month. Quite
n number of our citizens are making
elaborate preparations to attend the
Worlds Fair. Those who attend
will see about as much as their Wis
ion can comprehend and those who
remain mt home will no doubt hear u
great deal more. Not only will the
great wonders of the fair elicit COM
ment, but every incident, however
trivial, pertaining to Columbus or
the great Exposition named in honor
of him, will develop something in
tcresting that, with the present me
diums of communication will short
ly tingle in the ears of every cline.
