Raising Wild Flowers.

One New York man with small city
yard and n small income to match has
had some pleasure in raising wild flow
ers during the summer. He gathered
them in fields and about the edge of
town, and tried to give soil to them
like that of their habitat. A moth
mullin was kept in bloom for six weeks
by clipping the blossoms as they faded.
A small daisy quadrupled in size and
was full of flowers. The trilium bore
a royal blossom. Several varieties of
fern dropped on transplanting, but
after weex of watering braced up
and pushed cut a host of fronds. White
and blue violets increased and multi
piled, and star grass, blue-eyed grass,
hawlsweed, and so on, produced BIOS
SONS of marked beauty. He believes
that fine house plants could be made
from many despised weeds. .-Philadel-

statisticsoof French Farmers.

M. viger, minister of agriculture, in
speech recently delivered at Chinon,
in the department of the Indre, said:
According 20 recent statistics there
ane in France 2,151.oOo proprietors who
cultivate their own land. There are
besides 3,525,O0O persons who cultivate
the land either on lease as farmers or
on half account with the actual pro-
prietors. These latter are called me-
trayers. Many large domains are broken
up into small lots and are cultivated
either by single tenants or by rural
syndicates." These facts show the
enormous difficulties that the socialists
have to encounter in the rural cam

MEMORABLE ReLIcs.
Locks OF Hair from Members of the wash
ington Family.


Locks of Hair from Members of the WASH
ington Family.
DIR. r. O. Owen, of this city, has in
his possession some precious and price,
less souvenirs of the Washington fam
lily, being locks of the hair of Martha
Washington, wife of George Washing
ton, and of the hair of Washington's
sister, Betty, who married Fielding
Lewis: and of Washington's favorite
niece, Betty, who married Charles Car
ter. These relics are preserved in the
identical paper in which they were
originally wrapped, each parcel or lock
in separate paper, and each paper
bearing the memorandum indorsed upon
II at the time. The genuineness of
these relics is thoroughly established.
The locks of Martha Washington and
Betty Lewis were given by these la
dies to the daughter of the latter,
namely, Betty Carter (who was, as
above stated, the favorite niece of
Washington. The latter gave them,
along with parcel of her own hair,
to her daughter, Otway Anna, who
married DIR. William Owen. From DIR.
ured parcels came into the possession
of their son, our well-known fellow
townsman, DIR. w. o. Owen, who died
two years ago.
1t may not unlikely be, indeed il is
most likely, that there is not in exist
ence another lock, another strand, of
the hair of Washingtcn's wife, or of his
sister, or his niece.
Martha Washington hair here pre-
served does not bear the bright hazel
hue of the trcsses of the blooming
young widow. Martha Custis, on that
autumn day in 1858 when, at Mr. Cham
berlayne's on the Pamunky, it first
caught the gaze of the handsome Col.
Washington fresh from the fields of
his fame in the French and Indian
wars. 1t has just the color of hair,
originally hazel, that has become al
most, but not entirely, gray.
1t is difficult to overestimatc the in
terest that attaches to such relic as
this. BY what close and pathetic as
sociation does 1t connect us, after the
lapse of century, with the dome site
life of the father of his country.
A few years ago, in moving some
books that had lain unhandled for
more than two hundred and fifty years
in the library of Pcnshurst castle, in
England, the seat of the Pembrokcs,
volume was found that had belonged
to Sir Philip Sidney, that peerless
Bayard who may so well stand for
Ophelia's picture in Hamlet-"the
courtier's soldier, scholars eye, tongue,
sword" THE countess ofo Pembroke
was his sister Upon opening the book
there was found between the leaves a
folded paper containing lock of
Elizabeth's hair, with some verses of
Sir Philips recording how the virgin
queen had graciously given it to him.
This relic created great excitement,
a prodigious sensation, throughout the
British empire. But, to our way of
thinking. more reverential regard
attaches to this memorial of the virtu-
GUS consort of the illustrous Washing
ton than to that relic of the naughty
queen with a shady charter.

Tho Cheerful Mans sermon.

Tho Cheerful Mans Sermon.
It's easy to smile and be cheerful
When everything's pleasant and fair;
We never complain OF lifes hardships
When there are no burdens to bear.
But as soon as the blue skies cloud over
And the way that was smooth has grown
rough,
We forget the blithe songs wo were singing,
And our faces are doleful enough.
But some can be cheerful when shadows
Are thick round the pathways they tread;
They sing In their happIest measures
With faith in blue skies overhead
They face with smile that's like sunshine
The trials that come in their way.
And they always find much to be glad for
In the lonesomost, dreariest day.
Thank God for the man who is cheerful
In spite OF lifes troubles, say
Who sings of q brighter tomorrow,
Because Of the clouds OF to-day
His life is beautiful sermon
And this is its lesson to me:
Meet trials with smiles. and they vanish
Face care. with song, and they flee.

The maui swung some more, and he
drew off still further; and, rs soon rs it
was quite still again, he sidled around
it Mt prudent distance and investi-
gated it from the other side of the tree.

well; lets wait and see what he's going
to do
swell, when the maui had been
pretty still for minute or two, the
bear appeared to make UP his mind 1t
didn't amount to much after all; he
came right close up to it, as bold us you
like, and paved it kind of inquiringly.
The maui swung away, and, being
hung short, 1t came back quick and
took the bear smart rap on the nose.
"Bill and both sniclsered, but tho
bear didn't hear us. He was mad right
off, and, with snort, he hit the maui
pretty good cuff; back it came like
creased lightning, and took him again
square on the snout with n whack that
must have made him just sec stars.

selves; but oven If we had laughed
right out / don't believe that bear
would have noticed us, he was so mad.
You know bears snout is mighty
tender. We'll, he gruntcd and snorted
and rooted around in the leaves a bit,
and then went back at the maui rs II
he was just going to knock 1t into the
other side of tomorrow. He stood up
to it, and he did hit it SO hard that 1t
seemed to disappear for half n second.
1t swung right over the limb, and,
while he was looking for 1t, it came
down on tho top of his head. Great
Scott! how he roared And then,
scratching his head with one paw, he
went at IL ngain with the other, and hit
it just the same way he'd hit it before.

as we saw that maui fly over the limb
again and come down on tho top of his
head just like the first time. You'd
have thought it would have cracked his
skull; but bears head Is as hard as
they make them.
This time the bear, after rubbing
his head and his snout, and roofing
some moro in the leaves, sat back and

he went up to the maui and tried to
take hold Of it with one paw; of course
it slipped right away, and you'd have
thought 1t was alive to sec the sharp
way it lodged back and caught him
again on the nose. 1t wasn't much of

tender enough, then! And the bear

the maui flew OF. The maui struck .

Probably that bear had once been hurt

That there maui hanging from the

we crept n little nearer, without maxi
