In what saw of the flower culture in the

1t is an ideal profession for the 'decayed
gentlewoman" who advertise in the news
papers for something to do-clean and sweet
and profitable. The Scillonians believe
with good reason, that the trade has not
yet reached its furthest points of develop
ment. Each year sees another acre or two
set up with narcissus bulbs. During the
spring of 1891 $50 tons of flowers left Scillv
for MISUNDERSTANDING the post parcels
This does not look as if the south of France
was, as some thought, about to push Scilly
out of Covent Garden. The few hours clear
gain that the Scilly flowers have over the
baskets from the Riviera are very precious in
the esteem of florists.-Cornhin Magazine

The legend of their history, which they

years ago these mountains were settled by
society of Portuguese adventures, men

Virginia that they might be freed from the
restraints and draw backs imposed upon
Them by any form of government
They made themselves friendly with the
Indians, and, freed asthey were from every
kind of social government. they uprooted
all conventional forms of society and lived
In kind of delightful Utopia of their own
creation, despisinS all forms of religion and
subsisting upon corn-the only possible
product of the soiI-and the game of the
great forests. They intermixed with the
Indians and subsequently, with the negroes,
and thus formed the present race of Melun-
geons
They are tall, straight, well formed PEG
pie, of a dark copper color, but with Cir
cassian features. They Were privileged
voters in the old slave days and accredited
citizens. They are brave, but quarrelsome,
and are hospitable to strangers. They have
no preachers among them and are almost
without any knowledge of IA supreme being.

The Way to Succeed In Conversation.

The question arises whether it is better
to presume that the person you are address
ing knows everything or to take it for
granted at the outset that he knows moth
ing. In either course embarrassing results
may follow. Authorities differ on this
point, but certain justly popular young
lady who has pondered on the matter
some says the wisest way is to appear to
think the other one knows Just a little
more than you can ever hope to learn, even
though you know the opposite to be the
case
In this way, she maintains, you can man
age adroitly to give him stacks of informa-
ton and yet leave him with the pleasant
feeling that he has been instructing you
Never seem to think that you know any
thing worth mentioning" is her rule, but
she makes one strong exception In the

he will forget your words before he thinks

so she declares, and it is better all around
than stupid II don't know
However such a rule may work to the
confusion of ordinary maidens, it seems to
hit her case precisely, for she has the repu-
tatlon OF being the most uursSuming as

The influence of the Roman Pantheon

For five centuries the Roman world turn
ed to the Pantheon, till out of it arose new
art IN Constantinople. Then in the fifteenth
century, at the revival, the humanist artists
turned again to this same great work. 1t
gave rise first to the dome of Florence, and
then to the dome of st. Peters. $50 years
later. From st. Peters the dome spread
all over the world-the Pantheon and the

the capitol at Washington, the isaac
church at st. Petersburg are mere imita.
lions of St. Peters. And thus from the
Pantheon has sprung the architecture
which from Chill to Chicago, from the
