The VIOLET TRAIN

Nothing is moro remarkable than the growth
of the flower industries in London Not many
years ago flowers were expensive luxuries only
to be obtained in early Spring by those who
could afford to pay fancy prices; now any one
may purchase in the streets for a penny the
most lovely flowers from the Sicily Islands,
Holland, and the south of France. Every
flower has its allotted week or fortnight while
the rush is on-the ionquils, the hyacinths, and
the violets. Just now violets are in full swing,
and every day three trains leave the south of
France for Paris laden with them. The train
which reaches Paris at o'clock in the morn
ing is the one which supplies the French capt.
tai; the burden of the other two trains is dis
persed all over Europe, but moro especially to
England. The violets are collected all along
the Mediterranean shores, are packed in little
wickerwork baskets, and sent off by express
train.
The cost of transport is at the rate of penny
pound, and each truck contains between four
and five tons of violes. Here in London the
fower-girls sell them in the streets from their
baskets, but in Paris they are sold from little
carts at a penny bouquet, and everybody
buys them, needless of the fact that they are
the Napoleonic emblem. A few years ago any
one who wore buttonhole of violets would
have been put down as an enemy of tine Re-
public; but it shows how dead the idea of a
Napoleonic revival is in France, when every
man in the streets wears its badge without any
thought Of the prcteader across the frontier.-

1t is always difficult t:ak to teach children
to be respectful in speech to their elders with

them so with commands and punishments that

pleasant. Either monosyllable can be used
quietly and gently so that it seems as proper
as one could wish, but children can't help being
explosive or sulky or excited sometimes. and
then their replies may be decidedly unman-
nerly. "Ma'am" is particularly ungrsceful
form of speech. Sir" is more pleasing.

bad enough when used by servants, but it

right enough in the family. but it is cumber-
some to expect them, while they are very
small. to remember and use the names or titles
of all the people to whom they may talk.
However. with all the difficulties, little chill
dreu should be taught their manners, for cour-
tesy in children. as well as their elders, makes
the world bright and sunny. Also parents
must not forget-woe be on their heads if they
do!-that courtesy is due the young folks
from the old. Young folks who are always
being seolded about the respect and honor due
their parents. and who arc not shown any re-
spect and honor in return, while away from
home they are treated with courtesy and defer
ence, will soon discover that they can stay away
from home for long hours or forever very pleas
antly, and the home will be deserted.

been translated into every language of
Europe, as well as many oriental
tongues, and the demand for it lis steady

of the wretched compensation too fire.
quently received by authors is shown
in Mrs. Stoves case, her royalties upon
"Uncle Toms Cabin" having amounted
10 only about $500 per year.
Since 1850 no less than 35 books were
written by Mrs. Stowe, all of which gave
evidence of the strength and creative
faculty of her mind, although in one
instance, the Byron controversy, the
wisdom of her judgment was ques-
toned by many of her friends, even.
Her writings, chiefly romances, present
almost every phase of American life AMI
testify to the remarkable perspicacity
of their author. Her popularity as
writer is shown in the fact that all her
writings met with ready and large
sale.
Subsequently Prof. Stowe filled Il
chair at Andover and then removed to
Hartford, where he died August %,
1886, and which city his widow con-
tinued to make her home. After the
war Mrs. Stowe spent several winters
in Florida, but ultimately renowned
this practice, alleging the absence of
sympathy among those with whom she
there temporarily resided. Mrs. Stowe
was slight in figure, but\ possessed a
strikingly personality, her face espe-
cially indicating her great strength of
character. She was remarkable for the
courage of her convictions and her
freedom in voicing them, with mani
fest indifference as to the views of the
majority.
Several years previous to her death
she was in feeble health, and the men,
tai vigor that had been so pronounced
gradually failed, until the light of rea,
son became dim. But during this peri
cd of weakness she had the ministra-
tions of loving and devoted friends.
Among the scholars and literati of the
old world Mrs. Stowe is accorded first
place among the women of America as
writer as well as thinker, and her
distinguishing work is placed by them
in the number of the most remarkable
and successful books of any age, this
success comprehending results achieved
as well as universal popularity. 1t has
been the lot of few persons to receive
as she such universal praise on one hand
and such pronounced censure on the
other, both criticisms being unquali-
fed in their genuineness.

Her Strong Personality and Active Anti
Slavery Work-Remarkable Genius
of the Beecher Family-A
Prolific Writer.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, who died
at Hartford, Conn, July 1, was the sixth
child of a family of IL children, every
one of whom attained distinction in
literature, or oratory, or both, she
being a daughter of Rev. Lyman
Beecher and q sister of Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. Mrs. Stowe was born
at Litchfeld, Conn, June IA, 1912, and
displayed remarkable precocity at an
early age. When but IL years old
she wrote very strong essay upon the
Immortality of the soul. Having the
misfortune to lose her mother when
but four years of age, she was placed
with her grandmother, worthy and
most sensible woman, at Guilford,
Conn.,, where she remained until her
fathers second marriage, when she re-
turned to the home roof and became a
pupil in the academy in Litchfield. The
school days of Mrs. Stowe were marked
by earnest study and ready apprehen-
sion of all that was taught, her stand
ing always being high in all her classes
At the close of her school days she be-
came teacher in a seminary at Hart
ford which had been founded by her
eldest sister, Catherine, but when heI
father was called to the presidency Oh

MINING IN MEXICO.
MT. William Melczer Tells of a Re-
 markable Revival There.

MT. William MelcZer, who returned home yesterday from ten days bus mess trip to Mexico, told a reporter for The Republican that there has been something of boom in the mining
 industry in that country. Guaymas
 is experiencing a wonderful revival
 and there are unbounded hopes of prosperity there.
 ''In Sonora" said MT. Melczer, de spite the silver basis, the mines are opening freely, and prospects are sell ing at fabulous prices. The Ameri- cans in Mexico are eagerly looking for investment, and in spite of the low price of silver, big prices are being of fered in the Promontory district. Il visited the great Minas Prietas district and the Verde and Amarillo
 mines, recently sold to the Rotsh-
 childs for e2,0OO,O0O sterling. l found that the Mexicans are little
 guarded pending the change in tariff else they would make contracts ahead for manufactured merchandise. "The oranges of Hermosillo are
