ReFRlogRATINe FLOWERS.

New Scheme for Making Plants Bloom
Out of season.
Quite a revelation in horticulture has
been in progress during the past decade.
although, owing to the secret manner in
which the experiments leading up to it
have been conducted, comparatively few
persons have beeG aware of the new de-
parture, says Chambers Journal.
Everyone knows that flowers, as we'll
us fruits and vegetables, are forced,
so that those who are rich shall have
the use of them before unaided nature
brings them to maturity. The forcing
business is an expensive one. requir-
ing constant attention and skilled Ia
hor. Many attempts, therefore, have
been made to get at the golden eggs
by cheaper means, and as a result OF
many trials the opposite process to
forcing has been adopted with sue
cess.
The system consists in retarding the
Towering of the plant by refrigeration.
and is.of course. only applicable TO these
which are hardy in this country, by
which we mean those which will stand
several degrees of frost. The lily of
the valley is one OF them, and it is much
in request for purposes of decoration.
Under the old forcing conditions oniy
about so per cent. of the buds treated
could be induced TO flower, but by the
freezing process an average of 95 per
cent. can be secured from the end of
summer up to Christmas. 1t will be
noted that the process cannot be ar-
piled to evergreens of any kind and it
would certainly be the death of camel
las and probably hyacinths and tulips.
1t is said that near Berlin three grow
crs alone have nearly 900 acres of lily
of the valley under cultivation ard
that they have adopted the refrigerating
method with great success. 1t has long
ago been proved that the plant can
he cultivated in England with equal
success. and we trust that the new meth
Cd will soon be tried on an extensive
scale in this country.

"And do you intend to use the infor-
nation you have thus obtained-;f l
may say thunder false pretenses?"
MY dear sir, you are forgetting your
self. You must remember that you are
talking to lady"
"a ladyl" cried Wentworth in his
anguish.
''Yes, sir, lady; and you must be
careful how you talk to this lady.
There was no false pretense about it,
if you remember. What you told me
was in conversation; didn't ask you
for it. 1 didn't even make the first ad-
vances toward your acquaintance
but you must admit, Miss Brew
ster, that it is very unfair to get man
TO engage in what he thinks is a private
conversation, and then to publish what
he has said
MY dear sir, if that were the case,
how would we get anything for publi-
cation that people didn't want to be
known? Why, remember once, when
the secretary of state"
Yes" interrupted Wentworth, ,wcari-
", Fleming told me the story"
"Oh, did he? Well. I'm sure I'm Euch
obliged to him. Then 1 need not re-
peat it,
do you mean 10 say that you intend
to send to the Argus for publication
what 1 have told you in confidence?"
Certainly. AS said before, that is
what l am here for. Besides, there is
no in confidence about it"
'And yet you pretend to be truth
full, honest, honorable woman?"
81 don't pretend it, l am"
How much truth, then, is there in
your story that you are millionaire's
daughter about to visit your father in
Paris, and accompany him from there
to the Riviera?"
Miss Brewster laughed brightly.
''Oh, don't call fibs that person has
to tell in the way of business tIntruths." !"
Then probably you would not call
what Mr.. j. (. Rivers, of your estimable
paper, did in Ottawa dishonorable?
We'll. hardly. 1 think Rivers was not
justified in what he did, because he was
unsuccessful, that is all. I'll bet dol

ing a goal. as one mostly finds the
brainy and energetic. HIS love of re-
tirement is as much the result of his
methods of work as of his tempera-
ment, but the latter is largely deter
mining cause. In his early days, when
large display of his personality might
have been advantageous. he remained
steadily in the background; and at this
moment he finds it quite difficult to
control his nerves when called upon to
address an audience from his own stage
in response to enthusiastic greetings.

samOans Are Lazy.

Civilization has demoralized the Sa-
means. They have taken fancy for
the large men-of-war's boats, for which
they have discarded their canoes, and
In which they row about from village
to village, discussing politics and neg
lecting their crops. To build the boats
they have mortgaged their land. and in
stead of making an attempt TO raise
money to pay their creditors they spend
their time playing cricket for stakes
consisting of pigs or kegs of salt beef.

full report was mailed from Ottawa 10

we get to Queenstown will telegraph
my partners to put the report in the

"Oh. know all about that" replied
Miss Brewster: "Isivers told me. He
read the letter that wGs inclosed with
the documents he took from your
friend. Now. have you made any cal
culations about this voyaCe?"
Calculations? don't know what
you mean"
We'll. mean Just this: We will prob

is detested by the Indians because the
coins are so small when the sum they
represent is taken into consideration.
White Ghost said he could not under
stand why ten-dollar bill should not
be just ten times as large as aone-dollar
bill. He thinks the government should
increase the size of bills in proportion
TO the sum they represent, even if it
was necessary that S100 bill should be
as large as a horse blanket. If the
government persists in paying them
partly in bills, they would like to see
the change made. But silver dollars
ara what the Indians want, even should
they receive them in such quantities
that they would have to be transported
to their agencies in wagons.

INDIANS WANT SILVER.
They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Paper
Money.

They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Paper
Money.
If the silver question were LETT to the
Sioux Indians to be decided, says the
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, they would
speedily decide it in a manner that
would prove perfectly satisfactory to
the advocates of free silver coinage.
The Sioux are naturally in favor of
free silver coinage, principally because
silver is more easily counted by them
than any other kind of money. White
Ghost, the venerable head of the Crow
Creek Sioux, in discussing the money
question while in town recently, ad-
vanced some peculiar ideas regarding
money, which are undoubtedly shared
by practically every member of the
Sioux nation. He says that when the
government pays the people on his
reservation the S1es,0OO due to them,
he wants it paid in silver dollars. Gold
