THE MODEST VIOLET.

The Napoleonic craze has resulted in
craze for growing yiolcts. although they
are difficult to raise The market is
never over-supplied with them as 1t some
times is with other blossoms.
In May the runners from the violet
plants which have been blooming in the
winter are cut off, planted in groups of
threes, nine inches apart, in rich, well-spaded
soil, the glass sashes removed and the slips
left to the mercies of the open air and
sunshine III September the glass sashes
go on again and by October the dainty
flowers have begun to show snd will from
that time on bring from to cents apiece
for their grower.
Though protected from the frost, the
aperature must be kept as low as pos
Je, as the violet is an early spring flower.
A young woman who holds government
position in Washington and lives in the
suburbs adds materially to her salary by
raising violets Each morning before going
to work she cuts and arranges the purple
beauties and an agent disposes of them
for her.
There is a florist in New Jersey who has
zoo, 900 square feet of glass covered
ground devoted to violets alone and largely
supplies the New York City demand He
has produced an extraordinary variety
called the Marie Louise, each blossom be-
ing as large as a silver dollar, with a stem
fifteen inches long. One Of them will make
a mans boutonniere and dozen make an
immense corsage bouquet for girl. They
are worth their weight In gold.
II you want to preserve your bunch of
violets never by any chance let water
touch anything but the stems. Tit touches
the petals twill witheF them, besides taking
away their perfume.

GIFTS THAT BENEFIT.
What the Bicycle Is Said to Have
DOut. for Harlem.

Done for Harlem.
President Lows example or some other
equally happy incertive has proved potent
with an unknown giver, who has promised
to put up another fire college building in
upper New York. says Harpvr's Weekly
This time the college that is benefited is
not Columbia. but the University of New
York. The building which is promised will
be the central building ON the rew site
on University Heights. Mr.. Stanford White
has drawn piars for 1t, which viii prob
ably be accepted. They call for an cxpen-
diture of $3.50, 600, and provide for
museum, library, commencement hall, and
administration offices all in one building.
Among the buildings already erected on

atory and lecture-rooms FOR physics ard

gymnasium. Harlem promises to be archi-
tecturally the show end OF the city. With SO
many potable halls of learning, piety and
charity rising actually or in prospect on far
uptown sites it is com fortirS to remember
that within two or three years the bicycle
has made upper New York both attractive
and accessible 10 thousands OF New YorE-
ers who do not live there a~d except for the

ready to face the world on our steeds of
steel.
Our route was clearly mapped out and
extended over the best roads and connected
with the best hotels, but MY mind turned
ronIantically TO the lOw-roofed red farm
houses 1 had SO cftea seen when flying
across country by rail, and my suggestion
quickly decided Jack in favor of the idea.
A swift ride through the soft evening
air, and the faint calls OF belated birds
occasionally heard among the trees which
loonIed up beside us like rim sentlnels,
was something to be remembered al ways;
the spirit Of perfect fearles snesS and perfect
freedom Is aot Olsen experienced, and the
unconventionality of our escapade filled
MY heart with delight.
We rode silently for two short hours,
along the country road, often deceived
by the long black shadows cast by the
fences into thinking them a smoothly
trodden path. Whether to dispei the
loneliness or just to give vent to his feel
ings, Jack kept the gong changing furi-
ously until 1 expressed a fear that the
sound might attract footpads. l had
read with delight when a child of weary
travellers finding refuge in farm houses
where the hospitabie board was spread
with all the bounteous fare OF the country.
l was now experiencing something OF the
uncertainty the storied traveller must
have felt, while waited for Jack to dis
mount and knock at the low-hung door
of the funny farmhouse, whose one light
twinkled merrily just over my head. The
proffered bed was neither downy nor
biIlowy, as I had been led to believe
country beds were. However, the break
fast of milk and fresh eggs more than
compensated Us.
The next morning our experiences would
have filled a good sized volume. We
bought luncheon as We sped throug b
tiny hamlets, drank water from every
open spring, and finally dined al fresco

waiter under the sheltering trees, for
1 had a morbid dislike for pacing the
length OF the dining room at the dinner
hour of this fashionable hotel in nothing
more conducive to grace than my blk
ing" costume.
In 1.-THE soft twilight we once more mounted
and sped away into the sweeping shade ws
in search of the shelter which should be
a counterpart of the previous night. We
struck a long hill and counted the length
of 1t; II there is anything that is exhil-
arating and life-infusing, 1t is cOasting
when one is q wee bit weary; to feel one s
self impelled, or propelled, by some un-
seen force, going as straight as an arrow
and as swift as o swallow over the road,
is soul-satisfying delight. The road
grew rough, and as we entered --, Jack
frugally suggested that We try the side
walk, as there was no one about. This
brea king of the road laws was but in keep
ing with the whole daring experience, SO
! meekly assented with all the quick
obedience OF a young wife. Had not the
minister said was to obey him? As these
thoughts were floating through my brain,
q grim, blue-coated monster loomed across
my vision, and a gruff voice growled:
what yer doin' on the walk
Looking for way to get off, sir"
says Jack, nothing daunted.
We did get off. and though neither Jack
nor 1 ever mentioned the subject noticed
he never sought anything but the lawful
road after that.
Could anything be more favorable to
the promotion of the ''sweetest thing in
life than cycling a-tandem, with no one
near to cast withering glances of disap-
proval? Could two young people make a
tour of any distance without ultimately
falling in love. provided, of course, they
were congenial? Such opportunities as
arc offer cdl The proverbial yachting
tours are as nothing, compared with the
matrimonial results which might accrue
from these cycling trips. The leisurely
spins, the walk up hill. the long resting
in shady places, the unchecked flow OF
spirits resulting from all sorts of funny
incidents happening along the road, all
go toward removing restraint and con-
ventionality.
Our second night was passed at the pro-
verbal country inn, no farmhouse being
in sight, and there we found already domi-
cilad a gay party of Cyclers, bent on a
long tour They We're a Jolly crowd, and
welcomed us with the true Bohemian
spirit, though it was crushing to my pride
to be thought Jacks sister, instead OF
his wife. There were pretty girls, we'll
bred and such stunning frocks. l had
time to note them all and put them away
for future reference.

act counterpart of one worn by Mrs Schuy-

THEIR WEDDING TRIP.
After Hard Fare at Inhospita-
BILE Farm Houses They Enjoy
Life at a Country Inn

When Jack suggested to ME the night
before our marriage that we should take
our wedding journey awheel, he fairly
took my breath away, the idea was so
preposterous. But he was SO persuasive
and the plan was go decidedly novel, that
before realized 1t / was eagerly arrang-

the die was cast which should send us
skimming like swallows across country
to Albany.
Jack had a very Creditab!e horror OF
the honors due the departing newly welded
couple, Ia rice, Trilby boots, ETC., and
with his usual cleverness, hit upon this
means of deceiving everyone, leaving them
expectantly awaiting our arrival in the
drawing-room while We, in our snug wheel

lawn prepared 10 revel in the showers

All spring I had been ambitiously prac-

his head even at that early stage of
affairs. Every day the distance was in
creased, until at last could ride with
ease distance of thirty miles.
Jack presented me with a beautiful new
wheel, and it was then, think, that this
wild plan of migration became firmly
fixed in his creative brain. The fatal
night having arrived, everything was in
readiness.
