Flower Making In Paris,

The manufacture Of flowers and
also Of feathers for millinery purposes
in France is a family affair. One
family devotes itself to the making
Of roses and doe; nothing else. The
man and his wife are equal partners,
and the children, and sometimes
yonng relatives, who come up from
the country for that purpose, assist
in the work.
Notwithstanding that France fur
nishes the largest proportion of these
goods for the world, there is not
within its limits what is known as
manufactory for making them.
Each worker is specialist, and
those who work with him are indi-
vidually interested in the work.
Nothing is scamped or slurred.
The prices which these flower-mak-
ing families are able to command for
their goods depend upon the origin
ality and creative ability displayed,
whether it is roses or orchids, pansies
or dahlias that they make.
By the way, it Is usually the wo-
men who furnish the original ideas,
for it in no way interferes with a
woman's profession. but rather in
creases her desire and opportunity
for pursuing it. Among the flower
makers the commercial part of the
business is undertaken by the men.

ONE OF the causes Of the rapid
spread of cholera Is the superstition
Of the people in the countries where
it originates, or in which it first takes
hold after leaving its original seat.
A chief constituent Of this supersti-
tion is fanaticism, based on ieno-
rance Of the working Of natural laws.
The populations now comprehended
in Russian rule in both Asia and
Europe, whether Christian, Moham-
medan or other, are all more or less
fatalists, believing that the dread
disease is scourge sent from heaven
and that it is sacrilege to endeavor
to arrest its progress. This fact
affords clue to the hostile feeling
exhibited by them toward those who
set up quarantine or establish hos
pitfalls. 1T is the will of God," says
the peasant, and he folds his hands
over hts breast. He will take no caro-
of himself because God would stop
the pestilence If He wished" This
apathetic resignation has depopulated
vast regions and swept into the grave
innumerable hordes- Before such
all-pervading fatalism the best inten-
tions, the utmost exertions of the
government are unavailing.

Naaded the Hardest.

A young dentist, who opened an
office on Jefferson avenue last week,
finds good many discouragements
His first patient was a thin young
man who wore no waistcoat, ard
triced up his person with pink and
yellow belt.
There was profitable hour OF two
in the chair, during which the young
dentist tod his funniest stories as he
filed and chiseled and buzzed. At
length, instead Of filling up the big
gest cavities with gold and charging
$40 apiece, the conscientious beginner
said:

Wonderful Stories About StO-ks.

What wonderful stories are told
about storks. A certain Baron Bur-
chinck told Mrs. Andrew Crosse the
following, which she had printed. 1t
is a story of trial by jury of storks ::
with his mate, determined not to take
the law into his own hands, but let q
jury of his peers decide on the case.
The Baron says the sto-ks selected an
open field, where they formed a circle
and put the guilty lady in their midst.
They had a discussion, the outcome of
which was that six birds left the ring
and pecked the unfortunate offender to
death.

is meted out to old beavers who have

in wretched holes. If Mr.. Japp speaks

Medical workers have made many
curious experiments, but none more
wonderful than that by which they
ascertained the exact time required
for the blood to make one entire trip
through the system, which all stu
dents of physiology know means a
complete circulation through the
lungs, veins, arteries. and the gen.
eral capillary arrangements. Profs.
Dalton, Herring, Poissenille, Mat
tuci, and Blake have been the chief
investigators in this line, the first
named having become more eminent
in this particular branch Of research
from having the experience Of Others
to fOrrify himself with. All the old
school anatomists believed that a con-
siderable time elapsed, say from three
to nine minutes from the time when
the blood left the right side of the
heart, traversed the whole system,
and then again returned to the start
ing point; Dalton has shown that the
time is much shorter than was form
erly generally supposed. The chief
agent used in his experiments was a
salt known to chemists as fer
rocyanide Of potassium, which can be
readily detected in the blood on ac-
count of its chemical reactions. Prof.
Dalton describes the operation in the
following language: BLOOD was
drawn from the jugu1ar vein Of the
opposite side, and the interval which
elapsed before the appearance of the
foreign salt in blood drawn from the
second opening indicated the time re-
0uired for the blood to pass from the
point of injection through the vena
cava to the heart, from the right side
of the heart through the lungs to the
left cavities, from the left ventrical
through the carotid arteries and the
capillary vessels of the head, and
thence downward to the jugular vein
on the opposite side. Dozens Of care

I Rapid Track-fayinS.

When it was proposed to build the
Central Pacific Railroad a civil en-
gineer of twenty-five years. expert
ence reported that he road could not
be completed in twenty years, with
all the money of the Bank of England
to back the enterprise. But it was
built, and completed seven years be-
fore the expiration Of the time fixed
by Congress. The act Of Congress
allowed the Central Pacific to build
its line eastward until it met that of
the Union Pacific.
Inasmuch as every mile Of road
brought with it subsidy in bonds
and land from the United States,
there was a race between the two
roads. AS the tracks neared each
other, the pace became rapid The
Union Company laid a little over
four miles in one day. Soon after
ward the Central Company completed
six miles in day. The Union Com
pany excelled that feat by laying
eight miles.
Mr.. Charles Crocker, who was push
ing forward the Central, said:
"Wen take Off our coats and beat
them; but We won't try it until we
are SO close that they won't have q
chance to get back at u.s."
When the Central approached with.
in fourteen miles OF the Union, the
final struggle began.
I'VE are going to lay ten miles OF
track in one day; you can make up
your mind to that" said Mr.. Crocker
to his foreman. who had expressed
doubts Of the possibility Of utilizing
men enough to do the work.
Il have been thinking the matter
over for fortnight, and l know
what l am about. Each train-load
will contain materials enough for
two miles. AS soon as one train has
dropped its load, forward the rails as
fast as the men can carry them.
Then bring up and unload another
train.
"Have your men in readiness for
spiking. Let the first man drive in
only one particular spike, and pass
on from one rail to another; let the
man who follows him drive in the
second spike on the same rail, and so
on. See that you have enough
spikes on hand, SO that no man stops
for an instant or passes another man.
Then let the straighteners follow,
and see that they advance without
stop or hitch. Close on their heels,
but not so close as to interfere, bring
forward the Jewellers and flllers."
Mr.. Bancroft, who describes tho
scene in Chronicles of the Builders, "
quotes an eyewitness, general
officer.
1T was," said he, "as If an army
marched over the ground and left be-
hind it a railroad finished. ! rode
beside the workmen, and at times
the track was laid as fast as my horse
could walk"
Ten miles, and one hundred anG
efghty-f1ve feet additional, was laid
in that day of days in the history Of
track-laying.

Sugar L. Not Pan

Everybody knows that it is the
practice of the retail grocer to weigh
paper in with the sugar and the con-
sumner has probably not felt seriously
aggrieved by it. But the question
has been raised at WolverhamptOn as
to its legality. Three grocers, to-
gether with their assistants, were
summoned before the stipendiary
magistrate recently for offenses under
the weights and measures act, in
having included the paper in the
weight of the article sold. While
recognizing the fact that the prac-
tice was sanctioned by custom the
magistrate nevertheless stigmatized
it as a deliberate fraud" on the pur-
:hasers and convicted the defendants.
