THE EDELWEISS MYTH

1t Is Not Rare Plant, Nor Does 1t
Grow Mt Very Great Heights.
It is commonly reported, and is no
less commonly believed by the inexperi.
enced tourist, that edelweiss is a plant
which only grows in the most danger
GUS and inaccessible situations. OF
course, with it, as with any other Alp.
inc plant, this may now and then hap
pen. But, as a rule, it is found on
rough and rather stony slopes of grass
the ordinary pasture Of sheep and goats,
at heights ranging from about 6,OOO to
5000 feet above the sea level. It is
not often met with below the former
limit, and seldom above the latter.
Once it could be plucked- probably it
has now been exterminated-by the
side Of a path few hundred feet above
Zermatt, and within half an hour of
the hotels; it was abundant, and no
doubt still IS, all about the little inn
at the Tosa Falls, and it may be picked
in handfuls within a couple Of hours
easy walk from the baths Of San Ber-
nardino. That it is a great rarity
is also an article Of faith, but this is
another myth. 1t is, doubtless, plant
local rather than universal in the Alps,
but there are few districts where it
does not occur, often abundantly. What
has caused it to be so priced is difficult
to- understand. 1t is an everlasting,
but that is almost equivalent to say.
ing that it has no great beauty. The
plant attains a height of about four
inches, having one or two flowers on a
stem. These are star-shaped, few
pointed rays down-covered, as if they
were cut out Of pale gray velvet, sur
rounding two or three yellOwish tufts.
The dry stem and narrow leaves are
similarly covered. Its scientific name
is Gnaphalium leontopodium, and the
genus to which it belongs has three
or four representatives in the Alps,
one of them, G.. dioicum, being also
abundant on dry moors in Britain.
It is, in short, a flower quaint rather
than beautiful.
The edelWeisS is an extremely easy
plant to raise from seed, and should
be treated as an annual. The seed
can be obtained readily for, a few pence
from any respectable nurseryman. 1t
is, however, a very difficult plant to
transplant with any success. Some
times the edelweiss, when torn from
it's native mountain and set out in a
garden, will have sufficient life in it
to flower, and then pine away and die.
This is the almost invariable result
of these attempted transplantations
It may be added that edelweiss, when
grown on anything like the sea level,
or, in fact, anywhere away from home,
entirely loses it's distinctive character,
and becomes worthless as a garden
plant. Perhaps these remarks will
save some tourists sponge bags from
being filled, which, if they do not be-
come heated and die on the journey,
will barely linger long enough to enable
the proud owner to point to them
as evidence that he has actually been
to Switzerland.-Lo Standard.

Glass of Fifty Years Ago.

'"The glazier of fifty years ago. said
Maine man of experience IN the
business, "worked differently from
what we do to-day. Glass was very
costly then compared with present
prices, and much Of it was so warped
and crooked it would be curiosity in
these times. Owing to the cost we had
to be very careful in setting it, and
the glazier Of that day had to be
wood carver as well as man Of putty.
The warped panes had to be laid into
the sash and their shape 'scribed on
the wood underneath. This was then
cut away so as to make the glass fit
into place. Nowadays the glass is
tolerably true, and besides it is so cheap
that we never stand for a fit. It is
sprung into place, and if it breaks it
is thrown aside. The old crooked glass
was, some of it, of superior quality.
This was known as Boston crown glass
or Berkshire crystal. 1t was clearer
and more brilliant than most modern
glass. Only the better quality Of houses
had this kind, but there are still many:
only residences throughout Maine ie
which it may be found. .'-Lewiston
