A German horticultural journal is
responsible for this story about a bridal
bouquet; a certain schoolteacher in
the town of Konitz had ordered a bou-
Quet for his wedding day, STIMULATING
that it should not cost more than 4
marks @1), but not designating what
kind of flowers should be selected. 1t
was in the autumn, when dollhouse
flowers were few and dear, 30 the for
list composed it of white dahlias, but
the bride and her family declaring that
these flowers were unfit for the purpose
the schoolteacher returned the bouquet
to its maker and refused to pay for it.
The florist then sued him, but the
position of the ~schoolmaster was ia
tanned in court, in accordance with the
testimony Of experts In matters of taste
whom he had called in and who echoed
the opinion Of tho bride.
A similar result followed upon or
appeal to a higher court, despite the
testimony of experts nov summoned by
the florist, and the florist was ordered
to pay the costs Of the suit, amounting
to 800 marks.

THE Eastern republican press in
fighting tariff reform has made a
strong point Of the alleged fact that
the effect that the measure was
having was to turn many workmen

done. The Kesbcy d Madison
Company, of Amber, has posted in
its works a public notice to its en-
