An Eccentric Washington Woman.

There Is woman in Washington So
ciety whose eccentricities in certain lines
are so we'll known as to pass without
comment. Her position as a matron Of
literary proclivities is the motive for sun
dry gatherings at her house during the
season. On one occasion the guests bid
den to the literary feast werc informed
upon arrival that they must enter by a
side door. as tho morning being rainy
they would otherwise track mud over the
hall carpet. That the hostess is not so
much q respecter of persons as Of things
is further evidenced by her conduct at
an afternoon reception.
Those Of her guest, whose garments
were ornamental with Jet were asked
during their stay to remain in the second
parlor, where the furniture was of ma
hosany. This sorting out process was
explained by the frank announcement
that il people would wear sharp orna-
ments on their clothes she must protect
her own property by excluding them
from tho sacred precincts of the first par
lor so that the rosewood furniture could

FORTUNES IN FLOWERS.
Shrcwd Men who Raise Roses For Profit
Near New York.

SUMMIT, n. j., Aug. S.-New jersey was
never in the front rank of agricultural
states. In these days of cheap transporta-
ton, although their lands lie between the
two great markets of Philadelphia and
New York. New Jersey farmers find it
more and more difficult year after year to
successfully compete with the farmers of
the west or even of New York state. Fruit
raising, truck gardening and the develop
ment OF suburban towns and summer re-
sorts have been found to be far more profit
able lines of effort than farming
Here and at Madison, not far away,
shrewd men are making small fortunes in
flowers. Roses are especially profitable,
and the great mass OF the roses taken
daily and on festive and social occasions by
New Workers comes from these two places
The cultivation Of roses as a business was
begun here perhaps dozen years ago, but
its marked increase Is matter of com
paratively recent date. Although the sup
ply has increased enormously In the last
three or four years, 1t has not more than
kept pace with the demand, for New
Workers are great lovers of roses, and their
growing rather than the reverse
The rose houses Of Summit and Madison
will no doubt now compare favorably with
those of the most lannon's rosegrowers of
Europe, and Il Is gratifying to know that
In these two places the Americans who
have engaged In the business have kept
abreast OF their competitors of foreign
birth, especially in forcing early blooms
1t is not SO in many places in the United
States. A large proportion OF the floricul-
turists of this country are Germans, who
before they came here were gardeners in
the employ OF members Of the nobility
Flower growing Is among the chief fads Of
titled Germans, and as they are generally
men OF great wealth who raise flowers for
their own amusement and tho pleasure Of
their friends only they are able to make
many experiments which would not be
commercially profitable, but which often
result In new and delightful varieties OF
flowers Their gardeners Of course receive
excellent training, and when they come TO
America to engage In commercial Goricul-
ture they enjoy great advantages over the
average American flower raiser, who gen
orally has TO learn whatever he knows
about flowers after he has gone into the
business.
Next to roses chrysanthemums perhaps
are raised here more than any other flow
ers. At all events, there Is large output
of this beautiful Japanese fayorite every
autumn. Besides there is a considerable
business done in this vicinity in the raising
of orchids. The profitable nature of flower
raising has become 50 generally understood

sons have gone into 1t on a small scale, not

men who reside in this vicinity and have

and have a surplus for sale which some

tory and furnishes small profit besides.

How to Keep u Chameleon.

The Florida chameleon. which also is

IMITATION BUTTER.
SENATOR MCGOWAN EXPECTS A
"FIGHT'' OVER HIS BILL.
What the Proposed Measure VIII Ac-
complish-The Penalty for
Violations.

Senator McGowan's bill to prevent de-
ception in the manufacture and sale OF
butter and cheese will be watched with
considerable interest.
The young Humboldt statesman ex-
poets a fight" over it, too, and has thor
oughly prepared himself to do battle for
his measure, whether before committee
or the Senate itself.
The bill starts off with the proposition
that, for the purposes of the proposed Act.
every article, substance or compound other
than that produced from pure milk, or
cream from the same, made in the sem
blance. of butter, and designed to be used
as substitute for butter made from pure
milk, or cream from the same, is declared
to be imitation butter; and that every
article, substance or compound other
than that produced from pure milk. or
cream from the same, made in the SEM
biance OF cheese, and designed to be used
as a substitute for cheese made from pure
milk, or cream from the same, is declared
to be Imitation cheese. But the use OF
salt. rennet, and harmless coloring mat
ter Tor colorlng the product Of pure milk
or cream, shall not be construed to render
such product an imitation; and nothing
in the law shall prevent the use of pure
SKINNED milk in the manufacture of
cheese.
The bill then goes on and provides that
each person who manufactures imitation
butter or imitation cheese shall mark, by
branding, stamping and stenciling upon
