with her. Mrs. Moore w3s suffering, 1 I'm

some internal trouble which she appre-

THE FLOWER MART OF THE NATION.
That our city is considered a great center
for flowers is eyinced by the fact that hun
dreds of packages OF our choicest blossoms
are sent 10 friends throughout our
bright land with the assurance that
they reach their destination fresh
and beautiful, making charming
and valuable reminder Of our great
capital city. Fears have been entertained
that flowers would be scarce, owing to ear
illness of Easter, but the DISPLAY by the
FLORISTS OF CENTER MARKET IN
SATURDAY. March "A, will speedily dispel
such fears. This can best be Judged by
those who have the opportunity to see the
display during the entire day. as passing
glance does not convey the slightest Idea
OF the possibilities of Horticulture as now
conducted in this District.
And to those who may wish to avoid the
rush OF early morning, We would say they
will be amply repaid by a visit in the even
ing, when the electric light will lend II
brilliancy.

Solicitude.

What it is to be a genuine. single minded egotist is illustrated in re- cent French volume by a story of Mme. du Deffand, celebrity of the last cen. tury. Mime du Deffand was great in- valid, and spent most of her time in bed, but this fact did not prevent her from receiving great deal of company.
 One day when she was thus in bed several guests arrived and were ad- mitted. They all began to shiver and pull their cloaks around them.
 What" exclaimed the invalid, lis it cold here?'
 Tt is simply freezing" answered a guest
 Thank you for telling me-" said Mime. du Deffand.
 She rang bell. The guests sup posed she was sending for a maid to build fire: but when tho servant came in Mime. du Deffaud said:
 Amelia, bring me in my down cov- erletv'
 Having given this order. she began a conversation about other matters. - Youths Companion.

KING ARTHUR NO MYTH.
A High Omcer Among the BrItons During
 the Roman Occupation.

High Omcer Among the Britons During
 the Roman Occupation.
 When Godfrey of Monmouth wrote his history of the Britons he wrote 1t like classical epic, but with the in- spiration of French chivalry and le- gend. Thus Caxton had little difficulty in making acceptable Sir Thomas Malory's translation of the Arthurian legends as they had been written in France. His edition was published in 14s5, with preface in which he says that the nine most celebrated men in the world are three pagans, three Jews and three Christians, the pagans being Hector of Troy. Alexander the Great and Julius Cesar; the Jews. Joshua, David and Judas Maccabmus: and the Christians, Charlemagne, Godfrey of Bouillon. and King Arthur. He says that many men believe ''there was no such Ar thur, and that all such books as be made of him be but feigned and fables. by ca use that some chronicles make of him no mention nor remember him no thing nor of his knights"
 But the skepticism of the time of Caxton, which continued until the end of the eighteenth century, is not at present scientific. The moderns do not doubt that King Arthur existed. He was superior officer of the Britons. whose rank was known in the time of Roman rule as 'Comes Britanne. He moved about in Britain as Agricola or Severus would have done. His position naturally entailed the association with his name of heroic legends. Malory's originals were romances written in French, which he translated literally. but reduced in length. Tho stories were based on Breton folk. lore which came from Great Britain and was transmitted through the Nor mans in the eastern portion of Brit tany. The entire Arthurian legend, as used by Mallory, is Breton, but the great legend is Welsh. John Rhys. who writes the preface to this new edition, is persuaded that Mallory, whose birthplace is as unknown as that of Homer, was Welshman. Mallory made of the Arthurian legend the Iliad of English prose literature, and used many of Homer's set phrases. His knights, when they leaped to the ground, invariably avoided" their horses The strokes they dealt were ''sad," and there are keen touches of feeling in every incident. His style is admirable. Tennyson, in the parting of Arthur and Guenever, did not ex- press more pathos than Mallory in the parting of Guenever and .Launcelot = N. Y. Times.

TEXAS JACK" RUN DOWN.
Tho Budding Bandit. Masked and Heavily
 Armed, Protested His Innocence.

The Budding Bandit, Masked and Heavily
 Armed, Protested His Innocence.
 "Texas Jack" was locked up in tho Seventh district station house, Phila- delphia. the other night. The desper- ate character had been captured by Officer Stone, and the latter, new on the force, was as proud of his capture as hen is of her first egg. Stone was patrolling his beat at Third and Green streets when he noticed a suspicious looking figure crawl over back fence on Green street. The figure on the fence wore heavy boots, into which were tucked embroidered velvet trou- sers. A short velvet coat, wide som- brero and belt. with gleaming revol- yer and knife, completed the costume. The face was covered by thick mask. The figur jumped down to the pave- ment and was quickly caught in the firm grasp of Officer Stone.
 Here, unhand me, curl" shouted the captive. Know you not that I am Texas Jack?" Stones heart beat faster as he realized the importance of his capture and he hastened his pace con- siderably. He dragged his prisoner before Sergeant Brown, at the station house, and said, laconically: Texas Jack--suspicion of robbery" sTake off your mask" ordered the sergeant. sternly. The prisoner promptly obeyed and displayed the tear-wet face of an overgrown boy. 'I didn't do notin', mister, honest" he said. ''I was just climbin' over our fence so mother wouldn't see me. l want to turn out with the Merry Men New Year club"
 The sergeant thought it best to lock him up, and Texas Jack began to cry. About midnight the great scouts man. ma came and took him home. ."-Phila. delphia Inquirer.

Shooting Bacteria from . Kine.

One of the latest and most singular experiments with bacteria is that of a German investigator, Messner, who has proved that those microscopic ene- mics to human life and health can be fired out of gun without suffering any apparent injury. He has infected rife bullets with bacteria, and then fired the bullets into tin boxes filled with a gelatine preparation suitable for the nourishment of micro-organisms. Upon watching the holes made by the bullets in the preparation, he found that the precise forms of bacteria with which the bullets had been charged rapidly developed there, although it was known that no organisms existed in the gela- tine previous to the experiment He has even found that bullet will pick up bacteria from the air during its flight, or from clothing through which it passes. and deposit them, still active and living, in a gelatine target Truly science discovers more wonders than fiction can invent Compan- ion.
