''Do you know, said James Brant-
ley, who is interested in the big Chica-
go lighthouses, that there is big trade
between New Orleans and Chicago in
cut flowers, and that there are hundreds
and thousands of roses shipped from
there every year? That is the fact, and
| have been wondering why, III a coun-
try like this, where it is the easiest
thing in the world to cultivate flowers,
there should not be large dollhouse de-
voted especially to the northern trade,
instead of our selling to you We have
a greater demand than we can supply
during the winter months, and I have
seen single Marechal Neil bud bring
as high us $l25. That would seem pre-
posterous to you, wouldn't it? But it is
so, and you will understand just what
there is in the flower industry when l
tell you that violets sold i'll Washington
city last winter for 40 cents dozen,
and in New York for 70 cents and 81
dozen. A dozen violets make bunch
a little bigger than nickel. and they
wither in about an hour after they are
pinned on. Yet there was bigger vio-
let trade this past season than ever be-
fore. New Orleans Picayune.

Nero had been taking lessons on the
fiddle until everybody else in the block
had moved away.
Still the cruel tvrant kept on.
Finally he thought it was time to
play in public, and one balmy night he
took his fiddle out ON the porch and let
her GO.
The more it went the more Nero
chuckled, for he was undoubtedly a
cruel man, and he had stuffed cotton in
his ears before beginning operations.
Filing saw was Wilhelmj to it, but
Nero didn't care sesterce for that.
As he continued the sounds began 10
permeate all quarters of the city, and
millions of matches IN all the Roman
households began to squirm and twist in
their boxes.
Their nerves tingled and their heads
began to feel like splitting
Still Nero played.
The matches felt the strain more and
more every minute.
At last he jamned his bow through
an allegro con moto-loud-pedal. twisted
it around time on two and pulled il
out again. and every match III town
went of with pop.
Five minutes later Rome was burn
ing.
And the tyrant played on. w. J,
