He was convinced, he said, that, although
public opinion in England was deeply

was no such deep-seated feeling existing

PICKING FLOWERS IN THE DARK.

A Proceeding That Is Attended with Some
difficulty.
One of the biggest florist concerns in
the country, says the New York Mail
and Express, has it's green houses in
Jersey City. They are surrounded by
a thickly crowded popu lation, and yet
even in the midst of winter, when flow
ers are worth almost their weight in
gold, the doors are never locked at
night.
II should think you would find your
plants denuded the first morning you
failed to lock up" said to the head of
the firm. He laughed.
"Have you ever tried to pick flowers
in the dark?' he inquired. ''If you
had you would know why we run no
risks.
sit is very queer thing, but you
can go into green house at night
even with candle or lantern, such as
a thief would have to use, and although
the whole place is crowded with bios
SONS you cannot pick enough in three
hours to I'LL gill measure. l do not
know why it is, but it is fact, and one
easily susceptible of proof, if you are
inclined TO be doubling Thomas.
Only" he added, II would not advise
you to choose rose house for the ex-
pertinent.

FOR MY SAKE.

Three little words, but full of tenderest mean:
ing;
Three little words, the heart can scarcely hold;
/. Iksee littl4 words, but on their; import dwell
ing,
What wealth of their syllables unfold!
"Fcr my sake" cheer the suffering, help the
needy;
On earth this was Ny word; give it thee.
IF thou wouldst follow in thy Masters footsteps,
Take up My cross and come and learn OF Me-
"For Ny sake" let the harsh work die unuttered,
That trembles on the swift, impetuous tongue;
"For MY sake" check the quick rebellioust Ieel-
ing,
That rises VI hen thy brother does thee wrong
"For My sake" press with steadfast patience
onward,
Although the race be hard, the battle long,
Within NY Fathers house are many mansions;
There thou shalt rest and join the victor's song.
And if in coming days the world 'evile thee,
If .for Ny sake" thou suffer pain and loss,
Bear Oh, faint heart; thy Master went before
thee,
Thay only wear His crown who share His Cross.

GERmlNATloN or SEEDS.
The Variation OF Time Required by Dlf-
ferent Varieties.

The Variation OF Time Required by ulf-
ferent Varieties.
The time required for terminating
varies from few hours to two years,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. The seed Of
the tropical mangrove sprouts even be-
fore the fruit has fallen off the branches
into the soft ooze beneath. The seeds
of the willow will germinate few
hours after being sown; those Of span
mach and kidney beans in three days;
Of lettuce in Eve days; of some pinks in
ten days: of the willow in eleven days,
and of the walnut and pine in four or
six weeks; while those of the rose.
hawthorn. ash, dogwood, maple and
other trees do not, under ordinary cir
cumstances, terminate till from one
and half to two years after being put
into the ground. Most of the crosses
terminate within one or two days.
The seed of the common cress, used in
mustard and cress, on being forced,
frequently yields crop within forty
eight hours after being sown. The
period of time required for germina-
ton varies in accordance with the
nature OF the seed and the surround
ings and circumstances under which it
is grown, such as soil, temperature,
moisture, etc. The seed of globe tur-
nip is exceedingly small, not larger,
perhaps. than the twentieth part Of on
inch in diameter, and yet in few
months this seed, elaborated by the
soil and atmosphere, increases to
twenty-scvcn millions of times it's
original bulk; and this, in addition to
a considerable bunch of leaves. From
experiments recently made it has been
proved that turnip seed may increase
it's own weight fifteen times in
minute. On peat ground turnips have
been found to increase by growth ff-
teen thousand nine hundred and ninety
times the weight of their seed each day
they stood upon it.

Ella Hat Was Honored.

On one occasion, when a public re-
ception was given to Daniel Webster at
hotel in Boston, particularly
obsequious oice-seeker was intro
duced. The man ground his own ak,
bowling and scraping, until the great
man was tired Of him, and bidding him
good, day, settled down heavily into
the nearest chair. But the man, in
stead of passing on end giving chance
to the next conner, fingered near and
seemed to have something still on his
mind, though he looked very blissful
Webster observed this and said, not
very enthusiastically: MAY ask you,
sir, if you want nything more of me2"
"Oh-oh, nor said the man, smirking;
'only perhaps may be permitted to
remark that I am proud to say that my
hat is having the inestimable honor to
occupy the same chair with Daniel
sWebsterl" Webster had, as matter Of
fact, sat down on the mans tall beaver
hat.

But There Was In 1t Food for Solemn
Reflection.
There are Cinnamon in New Zealand,
md there, as in some other countries,
they are looked upon as intruders, es-
pecially by men who are themselves but
Indifferent citizens Two gentlemen
were the only inside passengers of a
coach on a wet day, till at a roadside
hotel the landlord came out to accost
the driver, says the Youths Companion.
"Uave you room in the coach for a
gentleman" he inquired in tone Of
some solicitude.
THAT depends" answered the driver,
who knew the country pretty we'll.
''ls your gentleman drunk?"
"Well, not exactly" said the land
lord. 'He's getting over it,"
IAN right" said The driver; shave
biz. i. We can always make room for
an extra prodigal."
The prodigal turned out to be a
miner, whose condition fully justified
the drivers cautious inquiry. Soon he
fell into tipsy sleep, from which he
did not awaken even when Ill un-
assuming Chinaman entered and took
q seat beside him.
BY and by, however, he reused hiin-
self, looked round in drowsy way,
and caught sight of the Celestial At
once he brought his horny palm down
upon the English gentleman knee, and
in confidential inebriated whisper
said, pointing to the Chinaman:
1.-THE cursh Of the country!"
The Englishman thought it conaical
incident, and more comical still when,
at the end of the route, the Chinaman
paid his fare like Christian" while
the miner, having spent all his money
for drink, was obliged to leave his
''swag" with the driver in lieu of pay
ment.

WiLES or TIL. CARETAKER.

Her Interests Exactly the Opposite of
Those of the Real Estat Agent.
Caretalzers Of houses which are in the
market, either to be sold or to be let,
regard, as a rule, every possible pur-
chaser or lessee rs an enemy, says the
New York Sun. Ordinarily the only
compensation they get is the privilege
of living i'll the premises rent free.
Consequently, the sale or lease of the
house would result in their being
turned out of doors. The result is
that the intending purchaser will have
the bad points Of the premises pointed
out in place Of being concealed, and
everything calculated to make him
think ill of the house will be rendered
conspicuous. This is done adroitly
when the caretaker is diplomatist,
and the announcements of the huildin.. 5
-dss1ects take the form of admissions ap-
parently made with reluctance.
''Oh! yes, the furnace heats the en-
tire house nicely; that is. for people
who don't like to have their rooms too
warm is the reply of a caretaker, who
won't lose her only home if she can
help it, to reasonable question.
1.-The water comes up to the top of
the house every day but Monday" said
another carctaker.
:'Why doesn't it then?"
ooh! it never does when it is being
used in the kitchen. You wash ON
Monday, suppose?"
The now not intending purchaser
with difficulty now represses an incli-
nation to announce that he washes on
other days besides Mondays, as he
quits the house. When he is gone the
careuaker and her family return thanks
that they have roof over their heads
for another twenty-four hours, at least.

STOVES OF STRAW.
A Device That Is Employed In the Wild


A Device That Is Employed In the Wild
West.
Information comes from the far west
that much suffering from cold may be
averted by the knowledge of how to
construct such stove as is used large
ly in Dakota. The stove saves the pur-
chasing of fuel, and can be used in any
district where straw or hay is plenti-
full. The device, says Hardware, can
be made by any tinsmith. A drum is
constructed of sheet or stove-pipe iron,
two feet in diameter and four feet, or
more, high. This is placed on stand,
which may be roughly and inexpen-
sively made, with top of sheet iron,
RUINED to hold the drum in place. The
legs are of hoop iroa riveted. The top
of the stove is cone-shaped, sliding into
the stove-pipe just tightly enough to
insure the carrying away of the smoke,
and yet to enable the drum to be re-
moved for the purpose of emptying and
replenishing. The draught is a hole at
the lower part of the drum, with a
sliding door by which the draught can
be regulated. The drum should be
filled with straw: hay or any material
of like nature, and the fire is started at
the top. One filing will last about six
hours. The introduction of this stove
into Dakota is said to have been YER
table godsend, and it is SO cheaply and
easily made that there is nothing to
prevent its use in many districts
throughout the country where the
price of coal is too high for slender
purses

A Slight Mistake.

She had attended the: ambulance
classes and obtained the certificate.
The street accident she had earnestly
prayed for took place. 4 man had
broken his leg. She confscated the
wallzing-stick of a passer-by and broke
it in three pieces for splints. She tore
up her skirt for bandages. When all
was completed she summoned cab
and took her patient to the hospital.
''Who bandaged this limb so cred
itably?" inquired the surgeon. Il did,"
she blushingly replied. swell, it is
most beautifully-most beautifully
done; but you have made, find, one
little mistake. You have bandaged
the wrong Leg"

sBees Do Differently Hcrc.

/. In America it has been observed that
bees often bore tubular corollas in
order to get at the nectar Of flowers,
instead Of entering by the mouth, as
humble bees do in Europe. In essays
on the cross fertilization Of flowers this
supposed anomaly has been the subject
Of much comment. It now appears
that the humble bees Of Europe and
America have identical habits in regard
to the manner in which the visits to
flowers are made, and that it is the
class Of insects known as the carpenter
bee, or the borer, which works IN the
outside manner indicated.
