A FLOWER OF The AIR.

Rare specimens of orchids which
are sought for in distant lands,
and subjected to all the RISKS of
importation are not cheap, writes
Nancy Mann Waddle in an exquis-
itely-il1ustrated page of rich and
rare specimens of valuable orchids
in the July Ladies' Home Journal.
Several years ago an English col
lector, Baron Schroeder. paid over
sixteen hundred dollars for single
specimen of cypripedium stonei, a
native of Borneo. Although pos
sessing several specimens of this
species the ardent collector was
anxious to keep the dealers from
obtaining possession of it, and thus
paid so extravgant sum to hold
it all his own. There are many
orchid enthusiasts who have longed
in vain for a flower they consider
beyond their reach, a common and
erroneous idea being that these
superb beauties of the tropical and
semi-tropical world are the luxury
of the very rich, that they only
flourish in houses built specially
for them, and in a temperature
akin to that of a Turkish bath, and
that they require the constant sup
ervission of a gardner skilled in
their culture. Before endeavoring
to dissipate such ideas some practi-
cal information about orchids may
not be amisS.

Did you ever meet the bright
young man at university or Col
lege, who has such a contempt for
the country guys" and the hay
Seeds" the boys from the farms or
small towns? He is always there,
this bright young man, he is al
ways faultlessly dressed, and he
has band of choice spirits about
him, who assist him in sneering at
the awkward and embarrassed
youths from the country. These
sneers very often prove a serious
drawback to the wounds and
heartsore boy against whom they
are directed. He has had the
smallest number of what men call
advantages. He has won his place
in school, in all probability, at the
expense of the greatest sacrifices on
the part of the father and mother
back on the old farm. There is
not day nor an hour when they
do not need his presence; but with
self denying love and tenderness
work along without his help, and
give the boy a chance. And it may
be safely said that the young man
who goes to school under such cir
cumstances goes to learn, and
| makes the most of his time. These
"hayseeds" and country guys"
have a way of coming to the front
in examinations, and more than
one them has won a name that has
been the envy and admiration of
the world. Where are the bright
young men, / wonder, who
sneered at these great men? Does
anyone ever hear of them? Can it
be that so short a season should
swallow up what was so bright and
all-important, and what thought so
we'll of itself?

Yes indeed. we have all seen her,
and we have wished with all our
hearts that she had a little more
family discipline at home, and a
little less when she calls to see US.
A great many women are slow to
learn that ungraciOus and ill-bred
young Doors are not attractive to
the majority of people; but when
one has diligently raised children
of that description one should make
the best of it, and not call too much
attention to their bad manners by
reproving them in the face of the
world. Even well-bred children
sometimes forget their home train
ing; but the wise mother will
ignore their misbehavior unless by
a look or a touch, until she has
them safe at home. Then, if she
is a very wise mother, those chill
dren will not forget the lesson she
will give them.

There is no doubt that work is a
good thing for the human race.
Aside from the good it has done, in
giving purpose and direction to
character, is the blessing it has
been to the sorrowing and the af-
ficted. The brain that is empty
enough for the devil to dance in"
is always an idle brain, and where
the devil dances there is mischief
afoot. And yet thoroughly as !
believe in the gospel of work is too
often overdone, and that people
continually fall a sacrifice to it.
They forget that all they get out Of
all this work is merely food and
clothing and shelter. Millionaire
or day laborer, each get the same
reward, the only difference being
in the quality of the food, and shell
ter and clothing And yet, with
only this in view, men toll from
day to day, and from year to year,
each raking in his own individual
muckheap, so busy that there is
never, anywhere, an opportunity
for little playtime.

that l wrote years ago come

if some of our humorists kept
a scrap book of witticism and
other good things and after they
have become sufficiently aged to
be generally forgotten they fake
them and use them, perhaps with
a little 'vamping,' as new matter.
This is excusable, perhaps, in the
literary track or space writer
who writes merely for bread and
butter,' but the same course is
apparently persued by popular
humorists who get big pay and
are supposed to be aspirants for
a nicke in the Temple of Fame.
