REFRIGERATING FLOWERS,
n Means by Which Plants Can Re
Made to HIOom Out of the Season.

From Chambers Journal.
Quite a revolution In horticulture has
been in progress during the past decade.
although, owing to the secret manner in
which the experiments leading up TO II
have been conducted, comparatively few
persons have been aware OF the new de-
parture. Every one knows that flowers. "a
we'll as fr hts and vegetables. are forced.
SO that those who are rich shall have the
use Of them before unaided nature brings
them to maturity. This forcing business is
an expensive one, requiring constant atten-
tion and skilled labor. Many attempis.
therefore, have been made to get at the
golden eggs by cheaper means. and as a
result OF lGany trials the opposite process
to forcing has been adopted with success.
Inc system consists in retarding the fiow-
ering Of the plant by refrige ration and is.
OF course, only applicable to those which
are hardy in this country. by which we
mean those which will stand several de-
Srees OF frost. The lily of the valley is one
OF them and IL Is much in request for pur-
poses OF decoration. Under the old fore
ing conditions o1ly about hfty per cent OF
the buds treated could be induced to flower
but by the freezing process an average of
nlnety-llVe per cent can be secured from
the end of summer up to Christmas 1t will
be noled that the process cannot DO ap-
plied to evergreens OF any kind. ard At
would certainly be death to oamellias and
probably hyacinths and tulips 1t is said
That near Berlin three growers alone have
nearly three hundred acres of lily of the
valley under cultivation, ard that thew
have adopted the refrig.ra;ing method with
great su cess. 1t has long ago been proved
that the plant can be cultivated i'm Eng
land with equal success, and We trust that
the new method will soon be tried on an
extensive scale in this country

NOT MULTIPLYING RAPIDLY,

Strict Laws About Marriage.

The Seminole Indians In Florida Have
Strict Laws About Marriage.
From the Florida Times Union.
DR.. ]. E. Brecht, superintendent of the
Florida Indians, with headquarters at Fort
Myers, arrived in the city yesterday from
Tallahassee his mission there being to pur-
chase lands with the appropriation Of s., 600
now annually set apart by the general gov
eminent for the Seminoles. Heretofore the
Seninoles have been homeless, so far as
ownership of land is concerned. The doc
tor has located and surveyed all of their
habitations, and his endeavor now is to
pursue the work of securing deeds in the
names Of the individual owners.
The Indians" said DR.. Brecnt, "are not
multiplying rapidly. This is due to physi-
illogical and social reasons. Still, there has
been an increase In 1859 there were but
liz. Now there are something over 800.
The chief social reason for their slow prop
agation is the custom of countenancing
no marriage of persons who have drop of
the same blood in their veins. This is some
times hard on the girls. One leader know
has two beautiful daughters, who cannot
get married because the eligible young men
are almost all akin to them. Very often
the custom causes strange alliances, and

young bucks of twenty have squaws of

Is the dearth of knowledge on the part of
men and women of physiology, sanitation
and hygiene. The mothers, although in

them to stuff themselves with food and
trash in the shape of sand. charcoal and
clay. Many deaths occur during the first
three years. If a child lives to be five, you
can't kill him with lightwood knot
If the parents knew more of diet the race

those abominable hats that are worse than
the bangs that we have only Just got rid
OF; and then. those coats that hide the line
of beauty at the waist-why will women
never learn to make the most of what
charms they have?''
That is the artists view of the case, but
this is the society girls view, as gathered
from her advice to a girl friend who was
not quite sure of herself:
~ GU simply must have one of those nose
hats she said. Everybody is wearing
them: l look like "a guy in them myself,
but then it's the style, and that settles it
Nose hats is term which suits the
headgear referred to admirably, for the
new-fangled hat is tilted at an angle of
thirty degrees with the level of the top of
the Roadway up at the back and way
down over the nose in front. 1t is a fashion
that will be welcomed by the tall girl or
the unfortunate damsel who is possessed
of high forehead. These are the girls
who appear to advantage with their hats
on. 1t is the short maid who looks best in
no hat at all. Headgear of any kind makes
her appear topheavy. She may delude her

suggestion of half-and-half about 1.-THE

The characteristic hat trimming this sea-
son is tulle, which is used indiscrimin tely
on all kinds of headgear. 1t forms the
crown or Grapes the brim or is puckered
into loops to take the place of ribbon 1t is
used for ties On any kind of hat. When the
hat has been covered with leaves and flow
ers and it would seem that nothing else
could be added, fun of tulle is allowed to
settle down over the whole like tinted
mist.
The most exquisite example Of the use
of tulle is in hat that has already made
its debut, so to speak. The wire frame is
wound with violet stems and flowers. The
brim rolls up an inch two in front and
loses itself at the back. On the side are
some dead white roses, resting upon a fluff
Of violet tulle which falls down in loops
over the hair. Standing up at the side of
the front are some lily of the valley leaves
underneath a bag of tulle. This hat was
marked SIS at the store and has attracted
more attention than many $50 bonnet.

The Embarrassing Failure of a Mngf-

performing the well-known trick Of pass

uncut orange; at least that's what good
many people thought 1 was doing. 1 used
a silver dollar, and emphasized the trick
by passing the coin into the pocket Of some
boy whom I had enticed on to the stage.
II will openly confess that the boy had
to be a confederate, and that the marked
dollar had it's fellow in one previously pre-
pared by me. One night as l was entering

trick, 1 saw my young confederate sitting
open-mouthed in the front row. I had pre-
vailed upon another member Of the audi
ence to lend me dollar marked exactly as
was that had given to the boy.
II passed that borrowed dollar into the
orange, cut the fruit open, and out dropped
the COIN Then 1 went on:
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I will
perform a still more difficult feat have
passed that dollar into an orange. Now I
will ask some member of the audience to

True to his bargain, the boy stepped to
the stage. I stepped opposite him and
asked:

No. SIR was the answer.
