Of excitement and anxiety to-day. The
market in itself was more or less ex-
citing, but that was not the cause Of
their disturbed feelings. 1t was some
thing worse than a squeeze of the
shorts or a shaking out" of the bulls.
1t was all about a lot of sponges,
such as are used in ordinary office
work, several of them being in use in
the office of Supt. Powers. The sponges
were bought a few days ago for the
use OF the clerks. When the sponges
were put into the sponge cups and water
was poured on them to keep them
moist an odor was emitted which filled
the room with n most disgusting smell.
They were examined, and Supt. Powers
sent forth the edict that they should
be forthwith taken to the furnace-rooom
and consumed with fire.
The edict was carried out at once
to the great relief of the clerks and Of
the bulls and bears. who had pictured
to themselves terrible scenes of ravag,
from cholera, yellow fever and othel
dreadful diseases. Supt. Powers hai
registered solemn resolve that he will
never again allow such sponges to b'
bought for the use of the clerical fore,

In speaking of the matter to a reporter
he said:

The Snow Flower,

a traveller i'll Siberia tells us about
wonderful plant found in the northern
part OF that country where the ground
is pcrpetually covered with coating of
frost and SHOW, 1t is called tho snow
flower, and the description of its birth
and its short life reads like fairy tale
lie says it shoots ont of the frozen soil
OH the first day of the year and attains
a height of 3 feet On the third day it
blooms, remaining open for only "a
hours. Then the stem, the leaves and
the flower arc converted into snow-in
other words, the plant goes back into it's
original elements.
The leaves are three in number and
the flower is star shaped. On the third
day, the day the bloom appears, little
ghstening spccks appear on the extremi-
ties of the leaves. They arc about the
size of the head of pin and are the
seeds of tho flower.
1t is said that some OF these seeds
were gathered once and taken to st. Pc
tersburg, where they were buried in a
bed OF snow, The first of tho following
year the plant burst forth and bloomed,
just as it does i'll Siberia. PHILADELPHIA

O,lOrlrsS Flowers.

One who has taken a. walk through
Shaw'a garden will hardly believe tho
assertion that the majority of tho flow
ers Of tho world are without odor, but
such is The case. Take the flora of Eu-
rope as al illustration. -Four thousand
and two hundred species and varieties
OF flowers have been named and CLASH
ned by tho Eotanists of that country,
and 1T has been found that less than 10
per cent of the whole give forth distin-
guishable odors or have perceptible
colors. Tho very commonest flowers of
tho world are white, coiorlcss varieties
predoniinating by at least one third, and
only onesiXth of that class arc odorifer-
Gus. In Europe there arc 1, 1914 species
of white flowers, only 200 of which are
fragrant In the same country they have
COL kinds of yellow flowers, of which
nnnbCr only II are odorifcrous. Out of
623 varieties of red flowers they only
have 81 that give forth odor, and in 8
of these ''thc smell is far from being
fragrant. Of tho 594 blue species only
81 arc fragrant and of the 30S violet
blues only Is. Next week we will give
