When the plant was introduced. about
1910, it was only the small daisy-lixe
flower, nov only seen as a rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly priced
as a novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early. and before
1860 there were many ehrvsanthemum
societies in existence, among them the
Stoke Newington, which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1859. when the plants suf-

there was any idea Of growing them

DEIIIsIoNS

There's another delusion just now
current which is turned to profitable
account by the same kind of people
that make figures tell all sorts Of things
that are not so, and clinch them with
the musty proverb, Figures won't lie."
This delusion is that large type won't
lie. The gauge Of truth with them, or
of what they put forth as truth, is the
size of the type in which it appears.
Type Of ordinary size Is more or less
susceptible of being used to convey err
roneOus impressions, and even rank
fa,sehoods, but large type, like figures,
won't lie. The large the type, of
course, the more positive and unde-
niable the truth. A statement printed
in letters two inches long and spread
ing across two pages of the modern
newspaper is unimpeachable. It carries
it's own verifcation. To the skeptic
and doubter who ventures to inquire
if the thing is really so the publisher
answers excitedly: $50? Why, of
course it is! There it is in print You
can read it half a mile off" Fifteen
minutes later ne issues another Tex
tra," with an absolutely contradictory
statement in still larger type, and
verifies it in the same way,
by the size of the type. If this
sort of thing had been in vogue in
the time of Ptolemy l it would have
sawed old Euclid, who was teaching
geometry to the Egyptians Of that
period, a whole lot of time and no end
of logical processes. He would sim
ply have stated his propositions in let
ters half as high as the Pyramids. Trar
hQUn oh at taI 1na &c
demonstration and the 20. E. D."
There are signs, however, that this
singular delusion has pretty nearly run
its course. People may continue to say
that figures won't lie" whether they
believe it or not, but the experience Of
the last few weeks has taught them
that large type won't do anything else.
Instead of being a symbol Of veracity
il has come to be a badge of false
hood and fraud. Instead of shelling out
pennies for the sensational extras and
standing agape at the blood curdling
scare heads, they are pretty generally
reaching the conclusion, the bigger the
type the bigger the lie, and pronounce
ing the whole business an intolerable
nuisance. With the final disappear
ance of the delusion we may hope to
see the press of the country settling
down to typographical sanity, the ex-
ercise of intelligent common sense and
a reasonable regard for decency and
truth. The American people are not
fools nor maniacs, though that might
be logical deduction from the matter
and manner, the appearance and sub
stance of some of our blatant, rhapsodi-
cal and delirious newspapers. The rep
utable and trustworthy newspaper still
has its feet on the ground, and says
what it has to say in the English lam
guage and ordinary type.-New York
Tribune.
