The Flag on Revenue Cutters.

pay the same honors to the national col
ors hereafter as are accorded them by
the navy. Colors Will be set at s O'Clock
in the morning and kept flying until sun
set on each ship in commission. The
ceremonies are to be observed with all
the display that characterizes those on
naval ships, and will be accompanied by
the Star Spangled Banner" How it
will be possible 70 give music on revenue
cutters when they have not the bands
is not quite clear, but possibly some OF
the crew will be taught to play the air
on a bugle. At morning colors,'' as
the ensign leaves the deck, all officers
and men shall stand facing the flag and
salute by lifting hats or caps when it
reaches the truck. At sunset the
ceremony will be observed as the ensign
leaves the peak or truck, and all otti
GERS andymen shall stand and salute as
the flag reaches the deck. When more
than one vessel of the service is present,
s'Colors' and Bells will follow one
command by the senior officer, and when

The FERN INDUSTRY.
Extensive and Profitable Sale of t
Numerous Varieties.

Extensive and Profitable Sale of the
Numerous Varieties.
We learn from a Massachusetts paper
that about eight years ago a gentleman
in that state thought that it would be
profitable to have picked and placed on
the market some of the ferns which
grow in abundance in his neighborhood,
and from this modest beginning the
business has grown to such proportions
that last year he disposed of 100000
ferns. Previous to 1886 the gathering
OF ferns in their natural state was al
most an unheard-of industry. The few
ferns put on the market We're raised in
not houses, though few florists sent
their men after wild ferns. But now the
Massachusetts ferns are shipped to every
state and almost every city in the coun-
try, and, strange as it may seem, there
has been no falling off in the trade dur
ing the business depression, the demand
constantly exceeding the supply.
There are two varieties of marketable
ferns which always find a ready sale
the delicate leafed fancy" and the
gathering and shipping the ferns is from
October 1 to May l. Although now
some 200 persons are engaged in fern
picking, only about sixty do it constant
ly. Good pickers can earn from 81 to
S6 day, while the pay Of others not so
skillful in finding the natural treasures
amounts to only 81.
The ferns are brought in by the pick
ers, tied in bundles Of twenty-five each,
and 40 cents 1000 is paid for them.
An average amount of 81 day is paid
the Dickers. The ferns not needed for
immediate shipment are packed in low
rooms, containing each about 100000
ferns There are eight buildings con-
tanning these rooms. The ferns are
placed in beds of 10000 EACH dry moss
is placed between the layers, and the
whole bed is covered with wet moss.
The greatest care and daily watchful-
ness are needed to keep the ferns from
becoming heated, and thus bleached or
are invaluable to the florists, as they
form really essential groundwork for
designs, and they are also available for
general decorating.-St. Louis Globe

Miss Vanaerbilt's Pearls.

When the Duchess of Marlborough is
presented at court her majesty will kiss
her new subject on both cheeks, this be-
ing the royal custom in the case of
peeresses This precedent and Miss
Vanderbilt's pearl necklace which she
will undoubtedly wear, recalls the pres

Russian grand dame was receiving the
royal kiss the string which confined her
priceless pearl necklace broke and the
Jewels rolled down her dress. rafting on
the floor like hail. Without looking to
the right or left, or noticing the loss of
her matchless pearls, Grand Duchess
Sergius courtesied from the room. If
the string which confines Miss Wander

treacherous it will be interesting to see
if she conducts herself with the same SUI

on Governors island, and the official
documents herald its existence in the
nero announcement Of Ordinance stores

it came 70 be esta blished is question,
but the belief prevails that the war de-
partment, finding itself flooded with APP
plications from Grand Army posts for
old cannon to decorate soldiers monu-
ments and graves, provided the depart
ment to meet the demand.
Applications for field pieces to decorate
soldiers cemeteries were for years made
through some member of Congress.
Gettysburg and other famous resting
places of Americas heroes just about
consumed all the ordnance on hand, and
as there is no law authorizing the trans
fer Of aged cannon to Grand Army posts,
the bargain counter on Governors island
was conceived. Everything warlike, ex-
ccpt cannon and talk. is to be found
there. The government causes to be
printed from time to time a list of the
useless ordnance on hand there, and ev-
cry item Gu the list is coupled with the
price of the article in question.
For several years it has been consid-
cred quite the thing to decorate ones
rooms or den with old swords, bayonets,
or something to give a military aspect

and newspaper men are notable support
