NUMBERS ON HOUSES.
erlin Began the Custom Justa
HUNDRED Years Ago.

AT present there is some talk in Ber-
lin of celebrating a somewhat singular
centenary-that of the origin of the
numbering of houses. According to a
German contemporary. this convenient
method of indication was quite unknown
even in London or Paris. until a century
ago. In 1895 the practice of numbering
private houses was begun in Berlin.
The method employed, however, was
then exceedingly imperfect. h Bran
denburg Gate was taken as the point of
departure, nd the numbers went on
throughout, the whole town.
without any distinction as regards
streets. Even to-day thesystem of num-
bering, generally employed in the German
capital leaves much to be desired, as
the numbers run consecutively up one
of the street and back again on the
other.
Jenna claims the honor of having in
augurating In 1893 the method of placing
the odd numbers on one side of
the street and ven ones on the other.-

DAINTY N WORK.
Table Decorations That Are Artistic
and Elegant-EasiIy Embroidered.

The dainty centre pieces that are now
a special feature of well and elegantly
appointed dimes table decorations are of
a great variety of shapes. Circular ones,
with occasional variations from the
round. are much in evidence, as are also
square. oblong and ever diamond-shaped
pieces. Of course, the shape depends in
a measure on the table.
The materials on which these orna-
mental designs are accomplished may be
fine linen, silk, satin or any other similar
fabrics.
To be really worth the work the de-
signs must be of the most artistic charac-
ter. worked in solid embroidery, and only
the best materials used. 1t is a sheer
waste of time to work a poor pattern,
and certain failure as well as loss of time
and patience is the consequence of using
inferior silk. Even if worked on linen,
colored ~filoselle silks are best to en-
broider with. and even a single thread
must al times be split very fine to make
the shading gradual and natural.
The ordinary stitch called the Kensing-
ton or long stitch is most usual and most
useful for the purpose In embroidering
a leaf thus. the thread is taken the
width or length of the leaf you are work
ing, and a second, half the length of the
first in addition to it, so that the most
minute gradations of shade are insured.
A very pretty design is one showing
wild roses, to be worked in natural colors
on a white linen or satin ground. Pale
pink. cream and dark red or yellow can
be mixed so as to contrast naturally. In
deed it is always best when possible to
get a few of the real flowers you are
copying, arrange them prettily and imi-
tate their c~oloring as nearly as possible.
A French appearance is given the de-
streamers of ribbon, and these look very
pretty worked in pale blue. Pale blue
and pink seems always to form part of
any French arrangement of coloring, and
1t certainly looks well, and is likely to
be p~rettily matched in dinner service.
Lace is the most appropriate finish for
a pale satin one embroidered with roses
in natural coiors and pale blue ribbon
makes an elegant centre-piece for a very
swell dinner Observation-Disclosures Press.

THE FLORAL WORLD.

IN Syria, near Damascus, there is said
to grow a humming bird plant, the
flower of which bears a close resem-
blancc to n humming bird. The breast
is red, the wings are dark green, the
back yellow, the head and tail blush
black.
In the neighborhood of Shanghai,
China, there grows an herb known as the
laughing plant, the flowers and seeds of
which when eaten are said to cause the
same effect as that produced by the
laughing gas sometimes used by
dentists. -. ..
ONE of the most singular peculiarities
of the floral world is the evening prim-
rose, which opens about six o'clock p.
no. with an explosion not very loud nor
formidable, but still quite perceptible
to anyone who is watching the bud. 1t
remains open all night.
THE mountain daisy is so sensitive to
light, or, rather to a lack of it, that
during the passage of n cloud it will close
it's petals. When closed it is exceed
ingly inconspicuous, it's flower appear
ing like n small green bulb or curled
up leaf.
THE Virginia spider-wort is apparent
ly unable to endure high temperature.

jected; as the evening comes on it re-
wives, all its leaves assume lively ap
pearance, and the plant appears to
flourish and enjoy it's life until the morn
