The Rich Man Furnishes Site ana Hrnt.
the Florist Does the Rest.
The modern conservatory is not in
tended for the cultivation of flowers.
but merely as place to advantageous
ly display them, says an exchange.
Tropical foliage is preferred, not only
because it is decorative, but because il
comes from shadowy, sitting jungles
and can be appropriately housed in the
steam-heated, shaded city house For
cOnservatOries such as these there are
no gardeners. They are stocked and
tended by some city florist. When
rich man wants 4 conservatory h
goes to his florist and tells him the
sort of effect he wants to produce. The
two talk it over and the florist agrees
to stock and take charge of it for 50
much a month. His men look after the
health of the plants. The only respon-
sibility undertaken by the client is the
heating Of the conservatory. II he al
lows the plants to be killed by cold he
has to pay for them. They are main
ly palms and ferns, of which there are
endless varieties. These are not trans
planted but stand in tubs and pots that
may be hidden in as costly jars as the
rich man can afford. In their season
plants in bloom are furnished and
these are removed and replaced as cir
cumstances warrant When arranged
artiSticaliy the eye seductiyely led in
to masses of foliage may imagine any
depth of greenery beyond and an ap-
pearanCe of space is cOUnterfeited. In
one of the handsomest houses in New
York the conservatory, semi-circul2T
in shape. is Immediately back OF the
main gallery. The floor is mosaic, the
walls paneled in cream-enameled tiles.
There are no shelves for there is no
cultivation. Gigantic palms, ferns. all
manner of curious-leaved and bizarre
plants stand about in costly jars, ma
polica, Spanish lustra. Japanese
bronzes, old terra Gotta that are IN
themselves works or art These are
grouped to perfect the view from the
distant drawing-rOom. A sheet of
plate glass makes the sliding door into
the art gallery. Against this hangs an
orchid like a tassel. This delicately
guards the unbroken sheet, which
gives so little evidence Of a barrier
that otherwise it might be in danger
Another notable conservatory used to
be on upper Fifth avenue. This opened
off of the leather-hung dining room
and was screened off by glass doors
that might be shut if SO desired. These
doors were so fashioned as to blend
with and admit q glimpse of the green
beyond. The greater part was OF clear
glass. But mingled with it was stained
glass which took the semblance of
vines and flowers; these were glorious
in color and assisted in the prettiest il
lusion posi- ible.-EXChange

Tesui@ Of Their Investigations has just

The mining men are intensely inter

A strange custom prevails an ou:
a certain tribe in the Caucasus. H'lcn
a single young man dies some ono calls
upon the bereaved parents who have
carried to the grave marriage
daughter in the course Of the year, and
says:
Your son is sure to want i wife
I'll give you my daughter and you shall
deliver TO me the marriage portion il

A friendly offer OF this description Is
never rejected. and the two parties soon
come to terms as to the amount Of the
dowry. which varies according to the
advantages possessed by the girl IN EeI
lifetime. Cases have been known where
the young mans father has given as
much as thirty COWS to secure dead

WHEN REPTILES RULED.
There Was Time When the Globe
Was in Their Possession.

There was q time lin the wide re-
volving shades of centuries past when
the globe was wholly in the posses
sion of walking. swimming and flying
reptiles, says an exchange. Being the
dominant type. they divided naturally
into three great classes.
In the oceans they became gigantic,
padding enaiiosaurians; on dry land
or. rather, wet land, for the whole face
OF the globe was doubtless a quagmire
at that time-they became monstrous,
erect dinOsaurians, some Of which had
legs fifteen feet or more in length.
Those which inhabited the regions 0t
the air were the terrible flying ptero-
dactyls. For vast but unknown length
OF time these awful creatures literally
ruled the earth. Then one by one they
died out in the face of the younger
and more vigorous fauna until at the
present time only a few miniature al
ligators and crocodiles, a few toy
snakes and skulking lizards and geckos
remain as remainders of the enormous
reptilian types that once crowded land
end sea.

SOME WAR TIME RECOLLECTI0NS,

The bugles sounded cheerily on the
morning Of April >. 1867, when in
obedience TO orders we moved into
the muddy road and for the first time
took the place Of honor behind the
skirmish line. The cool tactics Of the
rebel rear guard gave every promise
Of a fight close at hand. They were
in no hurry to leave any advantageous
position. forcing us to halt, 90 into
battery. sometimes to form line: then.
as our fellows moved to attack, they
would slowly fall back and repeat the
eXasperating operation on the next
favorable opportunity.
The footing for both man and beast
was execrable Of course it was rain
ing. \ good specimen of the going
was the mile or so Of road through the
woods. Just beyond Warwick Court
House. Imagine the six horses Of a
gun down at once, all tangled up Ill
the tackle, while cannoneers. IN mud
upto their middles, held mp the horses
heads to keep the animals from smOth-
cring And this not once but often
We were the advance toward the York
town line on the James river road and
near the territory in which during the
next thirty days the army constructed
scores Of miles Of corduroy through
forest and swamp. We were Gen.
Badly" Smiths division, Davidson's
brigade in front, with Seventh Maine
skirmishing.
On an intimation that the enemy
was making another stand not far in
front, leaving part of the battery al
most hopelessly stalled, | pushed on
with Parler's section and one Of IN
derhill's pieces, and presently struck
a larger opening than we had seen
during the day. The skirmishers had
halted at the edge Of the woods. We
were on the border of quite Il large
plantation On the further side was
the Warwick river: beyond that earth
works Of formidable size. stretching
from away at our left to a point in
front of us. and thence bending at an
angle and hidden bv trees. Over
these works were some black guns.
with groups around them. From a
tall flagstaff tioatod the stars and
bars" There was no firing; every
thing was peaceful.
Hating the three pieces a short
distance back | took in the scene from
the edge of the woods. We had evi-
IDENTIFY got mp against it" at last,
While glancing about for a good po-
sition for the battery | noticed the
trees were scared and shattered by
shot and shell as though fight had
already taken place there The forts
had practised on these trees; we stood
as their target, and the cannoneers
whom we saw so plainly about their
guns doubtless, | thought. knew the
range perfectly.
My peaceful meditations were rIde-
ly interrupted by an aid, who rode mp
in a state of agitation.
Take your guns toriSht and left Of
the road in the field and open on
those forts"
