Herrick, in his "Hesperides," speak

''She must no more Annoying,
Or by rosebuds divine

A modern valentine has all the
marks Of the old-time illusions. The
writer really claimed that it was yell
low with age, being found in the dress
ing-case of lady of the past. who had
lived and died single. The valentine
was wrapped in q bit of yellow lace.

A great number of valentines are on
the market this year. and some daring
innovations are made on the tradi-
tional Cupids. the loves and doves OF
ye olden times. For instance. neat
small folio of cardboard with raised
flowers and a medallion of gold on

picted in outlines of gold and fancy

its foundation sandpaper for
matches. One would think the valen-

see such an attempt as this. A sweet
face peers from heart-shaped open

a tiny iron screw is fastened. 1t forms
a word in the poetry that is printed
around it:

YE GOOD ST. VALENTINE.

Many years ago a Frenchman who
visited London wrote this passage con-
corning the English girl on the four
teenth of February:
est. Valentines day is the carnival
Of the young people here. English girls
await the arrival of the postman with
the utmost Impotence. They open
their letters in state of delighted ex~
element, and instantly give vent to
their feelings in cries of rapture or
bursts of laughter. The girl who re-
ceives no valentine has reason to feel
mortified, as 1t is a proof positive that
she will braid the tresses Of st. Gather
ine."
The same condition Of things exists
to-day, as the postman whose work is
doubled and trebled at that period will
surely testify. In city and village. and
In homes remote, the time is one of joy
Gus expectancy, and often there Is more
than the trivial following of tradition
In the exchange of those lace-bordered
and decorated missives with their
saucy, mischievous cupids, their hearts
transfxed by arrows and their senti-
mental verses.
Hearts are broken, heads are turned
BY castles in the air."
There are few who take advantage
0f the time to send hateful comic val
entines which illustrate Come peculiar
ity Of the ones to whom they are ad-
dressed, but no one will envy the I'M
kind spirit that could dictate such q
proceeding. But there are comic valen-
tines that are employed as pastime
by persons who are not over-sensitive
or refined.
In the olden days when the world was
mostly under pagan rule, the 14th day
Of February was one Of carnival, and
often misrule. The valentine lottery
was one of the favorite amusements in
England, when the lads and lasses had
not the gilded opportunity of the pres
ent time. They wrote billets with
their names inscribed thereon, an
equal number of each, and drew by lot
the men taking the billets from the
maids, and vice versa. The company
being thus divided into couples who
were each others valentines, many
happy marriages grew out of this lot
terry.
Writing was not then cultivated, even
in court circles, and the first written
valentine of which sentimental history
has kept any account, is the famous one
of the Duke Of Orleans. This noble
man, being a prisoner of the battle of
Agincourt, could not draw his valentine
SO he wrote quaint and chivaArous ad-
dress to an unknown divinity. Being
poet and a writer of songs. his verse
had merit and is distinguished for its
graceful simplicity. A stanza will give
an idea of the poem:
wilt thou be mine, dear love? Reply
tSweetly consent, or else deny:
Whisper softly, none shall know:
Wilt thou be mine, love?-aye or no.
s'Spite of fortune we may be
Happy by one word from thee;
Life flies swiftly-ere it 60.
Wilt thou be my love?-aye or no."

Ger and many others Of the old writer's

Packing Fresh Fruit.

the producers more than it could af-
ford to do if, like the Fruit Trade
Journal, it were the official organ of
the commission men, finds fault with
the packing of California lemons,
makes it worth while to consider the
question of packages in marketing
fruit. The fact is that while it would
be most sensible to buy food stuffs
according to the taste and their nutri-
tive qualities, mankind has not yet
reached the stage of development
which renders that possible. Only the
most sensible people do this, who are
sadly in the minority. We most of us
buy things to eat because they look
tempting to the eye.
AS result of this the unsophisti-
Gated producer or merchant who
thinks his stuff ought to sell because
it is good has it all left on his hands,
while the smarter man who proposes
not to reform the world but to make
money on it's follies, promptly cleans
Europe with his family on the pro-
ceeds. It is not so important what
food products are, as how they look.
The purchaser will assume that the
product which looks the best really is
the best, and the fun of it is that no
amount of experience will teach pur-
chasers otherwise,
No people are so acute in this max
ing money out of the folly of other
people as the French. They have ex-
cellent taste and their packages in
variably please the eye and get the
trade. The Germans are profuse in
their ornament of packages, but what
looks pretty to them does not please
those of other nations nearly so well.
The Americans are as tasty as the
French. We believe the canon of
american art as it is gradually de-
veloping likely to be more enduring
and to be acceptable to more people
that that of any other nation. The
trouble with us has been that we
have held art too sacred. We have
considered it for it's own sake and not
for the money there is in it. That is
very nice, but only rich men can af-
ford it. We are of the opinion that we
had better let art for arts sake go to
the dogs, and like the thrifty French
men work it for what there is in it.
In some lines of business those inter
ested have caught on to this princi-
pie. The soap advertisements in the
monthly magazines are so pretty that
all who see them think those soaps
the best possible things to get dirt
off. AS a matter of fact there is no
connection between the pretty pic
lures and the cleansing qualities OF
the soap, and yet they make the soap
sell
If one does not feel sure that he has
good taste of his own, let him go out
and buy it. There is plenty of good
taste in the market. Get beautiful
wrappers for lemons and oranges and
paste beautiful pictures on the boxes.
