MOST PERFECT MADE.

At the national encampment Of the G. A.
r. to be held in St. Paul during the first
week Of September the services of large
number Of bands and drum corps will be
required, over 100 having participated in
the encampment and parades at Louisville.
1t is expected that many Of the visiting
posts and departments will necessarily en-
ploy bands which are located in the vicin-
ity Of st. Paul, as the expense of bringing
them from their different home localities
would be too great. The committee on
music having this matter in charge asks
that all leaders of bands or drum corps
who desire to furnish music at the time
of the encampment without delay send to
Lieut.. Robert L. Whine, secretary of the
committee on music, Manhattan building,
st. Paul, statement giving the number Of
members Of their respective organizations,
description Of the uniforms which they
wear, the Character of music furnished and
the charge which will be made for their
services per day during the time of the
encampment.
If they have any peculiarities or ad-
vantages in the way of drill, uniform or
attractive display, it is also desired that a
statement Of these shall be furnished. OF
late several Eastern organizations have
made inquiry in regard to music for the
occasion. and it is very desirable that the
committee shall be able, at as early date
as possible, to provide a list of musical
organizations from which selections can be
made. You are, therefore. requested to
send in this statement without delay.

The woman who cannot afford to buy

her table need not despair. Just as
pretty effects may he obtained with an
expenditure of a third of the money.
Buy at any of the florists hardy fern,
growing in a pot-a,v very good one may
be bought for 20 cents. Cover the pot
with a putting of crepe paper, which
should be tied with ribbon.
This will make a dainty jardiniere

When ferns are used have the crepe

RESRIGERATING FLOWERS.

Plants Can Be Made to Bloom Out OF
the Season.
Quite a revolution in horticulture
has been in progress during the past
decade, although, owing to the secret
manner in which the experiments lead
ing up to it have been conducted, COM
paratlvely few persons have been
aware of the new departure, says Cham
bers' Journal. Every one knows that
flowers, as we'll as fruits and vege-
tables, are forced, so that those who
are rich shall have the use of them be-
fore unaided nature brings them to
maturity. This forcing business is an
expensive one, requiring constant at
tention and skilled labor. Many at
tempts, therefore, have been made tc
get at the golden eggs by cheaper
means and as a result of many trials
the opposite process to forcing has
been adopted with success. The sys-
tenn consists in retarding the flower
ing of the plant by refrigeration, and
is, of course, only applicable to those
which are hardy in this country, by
which We mean those which will stanc
several degrees of frost. The lily OF
the valley is one of them, and it is
much in request for purposes of decor.
alton. Under the old forcing conditions
only about SO per cent of the buds
treated could be induced to flower, but
by the freezing process an average OF
IS per cent can be secured from the end
of summer up to Christmas. It will be
noted that the process cannot be ap-
piled to evergreens of any kind and i,
would certainly be death to camelias
g and probaly hyacinths and tulips. It
is said that near Berlin, three growers
alone have nearly three hundred acres
of lily of the valley under cultivation
and that they have adopted the refrig-
Grating method with great success. 1t
has long ago been proved that the
plant can be cultivated in England with
equal success and we, trust that the
new method will soon be tried on an
extensive scale in this country.

Of reconciliation between the naval SER
vice and the mandarin system, says
|Blackwood's Magazine. After the ex-
lperience gained in his first term of ser
vice in China, Capt. Lang declined to
.fe-enter it without adequate substan-
tive: rank. Whether this stipulation
was made by the British board of adj
:miralty before giving him leave to
serve, or was imposed by Capt. Lang
F!himself, is immaterial. What the vice.
roy had to do was to contrive form
9of words which would satisfy the con-
'dition without disturbing the Chinese
official arrangements.
Capt. Lang was given the title of CO.
"admiral with Ting, while all authority
was secretly withheld from him. So
|. long as Admiral Ting was present,
Capt. Lang did not discover his true
position. His advice was followed, he
was on the most cordial terms with his
|ce-admiral, and there was nothing to
show he was not de facto, commander
in chief. AS soon, however, as an ac-
;cident caused the two to be separated,
the situation was revealed. Lang's Or
der to raise the admiral's flag
was disobeyed, and Commodore Liu
assumed command of the fleet. An ap-
| peal by telegram to the Viceroy Ii only
brought stronger confirmation of the
fact that Lang's Chinese rank was
never intended to be other than a
sham.
