A National Bouquet"

Among the many suggestions concern
ing national flower, one which comes
from Vermont farmer has decided
point and interest. He proposes that we
shall not attempt to settle upon ma
tional flower, but let each state choose a
state flower, and have national bou-
quet." composed of all the state flowers.
Already certain of the states have en-
blems which would make very appro-
pirate and pretty elements in such a
great American nosegay.
Massachusetts people prefer the trail
ing arbutus for an emblem. California,
on the other side of the continent, has by
law adopted the eschscholtzia or poppy
as its state flower. The cedar sprig of
Vermont and the pine branch of Maine
would contribute needed tinge of green
to the nosegay, while the orange blossom
of Florida would lend its fragrance, and
the mountain laurel Of Alabama would
crown it resplendently.
The goldenrod and the aster would bo-
long to the first state which should for
mally adopt them, and SO would the
graceful shooting star of the central west
and the prairie rose. There are flowers
and trees enough to Ego around"
A bouquet composed of all these state
flowers and tree branches would grace
all formal occasions and would typify
the union of the states. it would say
''E pluribus unum' to the ordinary in
telligence more plainly than the Latin
motto does.-Youth's Companion.

An Evening With Andrew Lang.

The spelling of the name of Miss Agnes
Repplier and her singular felicity in
epigram and phrase inevitably suggest
her familiar name in Philadelphia, where
she lives. This is the ''replier" Her
dinner conversation in this respect is Gel
ebrated among her friends. Miss Rep
plier, as is well known, worships at one
particular shrine, that of Andrew Lang.
Last summer Miss Repplier was in Eng
land and had the anticipated good for
tune to be asked to meet Andrew Lang
at dinner. 1t would not have been hui
man for Miss Repplier not to have made
a mental toilet as she adorned her body
to meet Mr.. Lang. But dinner, we are
told, in England is serious matter.
Course after course passed unseasoned
by joke, unspiced by epigram and with
out the grace of felicitous allusion. 1t at
length came to an end. Nor did the con-
versation have any future. The great
Andrew sat down on the floor and played
for the rest of the evening with kitten.

A Luscious Sandwich.

THERE'S served at the house restaurant
and for that matter at the senate res
taurant-a dish that is fit for the interior
of any man, high or low, rich or poor,
old or young, whom the Lord has ever
suffered to live and sin. 1t is composed
Of couple of slices of tender beef, di-
vinely roasted, inclosed between slices
of bread, divinely Drowned, and over all
is poured half pint Of the golden juice
of the meat, vulgarly known as gravy,
but whose right name is "ambrosia.
This dish in it's entirety is down on the
bills as shot roast beef sandwich" It
had its birth in the once famed Astor
House and is the favorite brain child of
a cook upon whom one day descended an
inspiration. For long time it was dis
tinguished upon the capitol cartes as "a
La Astor House" It has become so much
a favorite with the feeders in the big
building, however. that it's New York
patronymic has been dropped. Wash

. Flagpoles.

With proper care fagpole ought to
last great many years in spite of the
incessant exposure to the elements. OF
course the best preservative of wood is
paint, and man who has a flagstaff
which has cost him good sum of
money should see that it is painted at
least once every 10 months. Flagpoles
generally rot at the bottom first, and
then have to be taken down to prevent
them from falling Of their own weight.
The usual length of a pole on top of a
high building is from so to 70 feet. It
is not difficult to get pole in one piece
80 feet long, but when a man wants tc
add 25 feet to that he has to do it by
means of splicing. Boston Herald.
