ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS.


The ancient Egyptians made artificial
flowers OF horn shavings. stained in var
ious colors. and leaves Of painted linen
have ben found in tombs at Thebes.
From remote period the Chinese have
used the pith OF a certain kind Of bam-
boo for making flowers. Crassus, one Of
the Roman triumvirs. was the first in
Rome to have them made OF gold and
silver.
During the Middle Ages, flowers made
OF metal satin. silk. wax and paper were
used in the Roman Catholic church with
symbolical signihcance; on festaI occa-
sions they were worn merely for orna-
ment
In l7S Segugin. a botanist ana chem.
list. began the manufacture OF dowers
in Paris. employing parchment for the
flowers and bristles for the stems. His
work was so perfect and artistic that
the jealousy of some Of the leading
painters was aroused. From that time
the manufacture OF artificial Covers
steadily grew and developed in France,
and today the French excel IN them.
The art was introduced into England
during the French revolution by refu-
gees who made use Of it as a means
of subsistence. 1t has been successfully
naturalized in the United States. Knives
Of various sizes and shapes, stamps. gof-
fering irons OF different kinds. mouIds
called veIners. and agate or glass bur-
nishers. are the chief tools made use OF
in the manufacture.
The leaves and petals are usually made
Of silk or cambria; the material to be
shaped is folded several times. laid upon
a leaden table. and stamp is driven
through it. Goffering irons are made use
of to hollow the petals; veiners. as the
name implies. are used to vein the leaves,
and the burnishers are employed to give
the petals a polished appearance. The
covered with silk; the stalk is made OF
wire coated with green material. and
is fixed to the stamens and plstils, around
which are attached the petals and. lastly,
the calyx. Buds are made of cotton or
glass balls covered with silk or caubrie.
The florists fingers. guided by skill and
taste have much to do with the beauty
of the flowers producei; great ingenuity
is often displayed even In a cheap sprig
consisting Of several materials well put
together and arranged.
French wholesale houses engaged in
the manufacture of artificial flowers have
each some special branch; thus. one
makes only roses. another wild flowers.
a third leaves, etc. The best and most
expensive flowers are hand-paanted-
One time the county superintendent OF
schools was questioning the pulls Of a

board the sentence. The fly has wings"
and asked the class what part OF speech
each word was. They passed. the "tIe''

LAUGH.

Learn to laugh, A good laugh is better
than medicine. Learn how to tell a
story. A well-told story is as welcome
as sunbeam in a sickroom. Learn to
keep your troubles to yourself. The
world is too busy to care for your Ills
and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking.
II you cannot see any good in the world
keep the bad to ourself Learn TO hide
your pains and aches under pleasant
smile. No one cares to hear whether you
have the earache. headache or rheuma-
tism. Don't cry. Tears do well enough
in novels. but they are out Of place in
real life. The good-humored man or
woman is always welcome, but the dys-
peptic or hypochondriac is not wanted
anywhere, and is a nuisance as well.

TAX ON FREE PASSES.

An impression prevails among many
people in this oounlty that American
railroads are the only roads imposed on
by politicians and others for free passes,
but recent agitation in France con-
cerning passes brought out the fact that
about 100000 passes are issued annually
by French railway companies. 1t is pro-
posed to put a tax upon those free passes
in France and howl of rage has gone
forth from those who enjoy the privilege
OF riding for nothing. The proposed tax
is very light, and it might be supposed
that those enjoying the privilege of riding
free would pay without any protest, but
the political class seem to be the same
everywhere, and a few cents imposed
upon free pass Is considered a real
grievance.
