The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1898-11-04

A little girl who makes the stems Of
artificial flowers for living was sent
to the country by a benevolent woman.
On the day of her arrival the child was
taken into the garden. She marveled
at the growing pansies. She felt Of
their petals and shifted incredulously
at the purple and golden blossoms. "I
never knew that they were reel flow
ers," she said. II didn't know that
velvet could grow" A giant rosebush
in full bloom was greeted with: "Ain' t
they lovely? They're much better than
Felice could make, and she's the best
hand in Fleurette's factory"
She picked a rose and carefully pull
ed it apart. I'm going on flowers next
year, but l won't make roses like this
They don't give you time to stick 'em
together this way" The benevolent
woman thought this good opportunity
to awaken the child's soul and pointed
out the why and wherefore of the rose's
perfection. The child sighed when she
had finished and said simply, 81 should
think he'd be angry when he sees the
flowers they make at Fleurette's. -

Hnsier and HOOSier.

The Philistine tells of meeting a
woman at literary reception in Lon
don who said she had heard the Ameri-
can "hosier poet" read at Exeter hall.
'HOw curious that a hOsier should be-
come your poet laureate in AmericaW
she said.
The Philistine did not know what
she meant, but followed the trail of her
chat until she said that her favorite
among the "hosier poets" poems was
when the Frost Is on the Pumpkin, !"
and then he exclaimed that it was Ri
ley, the HOosier poet.
"Oh, you Americans have such a
queer way of pronouncing things, said
the woman.
Yes, but Mr.. Riley is not hosier,
he is began the Philistine
But she cut the explanation short
with, ooh, see! 1t is a joke, then.
You Americans are SO funny. I suppose
you think Mr.. Riley is a bluestOcking,
and so you call him a hosier."

AR-di mud The Priest.

Verdi, when boy, had a gift for
Latin, and the village priest advised
him TO become a priest. Meanwhile the
lad became an Office boy in Barezzi's
wholesale grocery store, and for little
over 81 year played the organ in the
church at Roncole, but one day it hap
pened that Rev. DR.. Seletti, who had
decided that the boy should be a monk,
was officiating at mass while Verdi
played the organ. The priest was struck
with the unusual beauty of the music,
and at the close of the service expressed
a desire to see the organist. Verdi ap-
peared, and the priest recognized him
as the pupil whom he had sought TO
turn from music to theology.
"Whose music were you playing?"
asked Seletti. sit was beautiful.
Verdi said shyly that he had brought
no music with him that day and had
been improvising. $50 played as
felt" said he.
"Ahw exclaimed Seletti. 81 advised
you wrongly. You must be no priest,
but musician.
After that the way was easier. The
priestly influence on his side opened
many a door to him.-Youth' Com

Java's Fire Island.

One of the greatest wonders of Java,
''the fire island" large lake of boil
ing mud, is nearly two miles in circum-
ference, and in the center immense COL
umns Of soft, hot mud may be seen con-
tinually rising and falling, like great
black timbers thrust forth and then
suddenly withdrawn by giants hand.
Besides the phenomena Of the columns,
there are two gigantic bubbles near the
western edge, which fill up like huge
balloons and explode on an average
three times per minute

Barber (fishing for a compliment)-
Did Mr.. Stubbies say anything about
his visit to my place?
Victim-I think he did. He said
there was something unique about your
shaving.
Barber (delighted)-Did he, now?
Victim-Yes; he said that while in
the chair it was borne in upon you in
the strongest manner that you were be-
ing shaved. After you left it was i'm
possible to realize that you had been
shaved. Boston Transcript.

An indemnity.

The highwayman. in grim reality
and without the aureole Of romance,
Black BesS and all, was common OBJ
ject of the country" 150 years ago, and
it was the duty Of all good subjects to
try to cope with him. If you attempted
to apprehend such desperate and were
killed in the attempt, your executors
could claim $40 from the sheriff. This
indemnity was scarcely enough to kim
die burning passion in the English
mind for the extinction of the pest

Were requests for the purpose Of buy

left q speak from memory by the wild

a tenement, the rent of which was to

To the Point.

A young foreigner had recently arriv-
ed in London from his native country,
and some friends of his family arranged
dinner in his honor. The evening ar
rived, the guests invited to meet him
were assembled, but the young fellow
did not appear. A friend called on him
the next day and, reminding him that
he had accepted the invitation, inquired
why he had not been present. His reply
was ingenious.

The FoaI and the Calf.

1t Is an interesting study 70 note IN
domestic animals the traits of their
wild ancestors. There are some charac-
teristics, Of course, which are readily
recognizable as being similar TO those
of animals still in wild state, and for
this reason they give a fair idea OF the
life and surroundings of progenitOrs.
The habits of the dog and cat are TOO
familiar TO comment on, but take the
foal and compare his traits with those
of the calf.
The foal when a few days old can
gallop as fast as he ever can in after
life. He never leaves the dam, and
takes nourishment in small quantities,
avoiding a full meal which would i'm
pede swift escape. In lying down no at
tempt is made at concealment, and
when he stands his head is held high.
These habits show that the animal s
ancestors spent their lives in the open
and not in the forests and that they
were great travellers.
The calf, on the contrary, fills him
self with milk, and is poor traveller.
When danger approaches, his first i'm
pulse is to conceal himself. He holds
his head low in order to look under the
branches of the forest. All his charac-
teristics point to the fact that the an
cestral home of cattle was in a moist,
wooded country, while the primevaI
horse roamed the plains.-New York
