This is how it happened. When Mel, a
brave French general, was returning
from the scene of his victories in the
war between France and Austria. he
received from a peasant, who wished to
honor the hero, basket of beautiful
pale-yellow roses. One of the stems
which happened to have roots clinging
to it, the general took to florist in
Paris, in whose care it remained until
it became a thriving bush covered with
blossoms. Mel then took the plant as
gift to Empress Eugenia. She ex-
pressed great admiration for the ex-
quisite flowers; and, on learning that
the rose was nameless, said significant

Ger nany it is in such great request

to encourage its local cultivation. Until
very lately, although the annual turn
over in the French trade in Perigord
truffles has averaged $4,000, 600 francs
for many years past, German soil has
only yielded some 1900 pounds weight
of the ''tuber cibariun" per annum, rep
resenting value of 1000 marks, about
the equivalent of 1850. Hence large
quantity has necessarily been imported
into the Fatherland from France not
only for culinary purposes, but for the
preparation of the famous Strasburg

and of the toothsome trutfied sausages
which are manufactured in vast num-
bers at Brunswick and Apolda-
Nearly tons weight of French truf-
fies is utilized yearly in the Alsatian
capital alone, and about half as much
more is worked up into expensive
''wurst" in the other German towns
above mentioned. The value of the
total quantity annually imported is be-
tween f9,0 and 100000, inasmuch as
the price of the French tuber varies in

A dress waist does not fit as well over
a perfectly new corset, especially a
stiff boned one, as when it has been
worn two or three days and settled into
the figure. There are now long, me-.
dunn and short-waisted corsets so all
figures may be fitted. Do not make the
mistake of thinking that long corset
will make a short waist seem of greater
length. On the contrary, such a misfit
will make the wearer uncomfortable
and prevent a handsome or shapely
gown. There are also corsets for full
and slender hips and busts, in fact, for
every known and unknown trait that a
figure can possess A waist should be
