The south of France Is the place where the greatest trade Is done Tn no- ral monstrosities. A Daily Mail repre- sentative called yesterday on Messrs' Veitch & Son, the well-lSnown Chelsea nurserymen, who told him that they re- fused to have any dealings in these ar- tlflcial attempts to improve" on na- ture. Robert Green, the great West End florist, of Crawford street, Port man Square, was equally averse to monstrosities. MT. Green will not al- low single one to appear in his shop, At both places was the representative assured there was no demand for such horrors in England.

 Qsabel Frances Bellows in Christian
 Register0 There were two saviors of the sons of men, Who toiled and prayed and sorrowed for their kind, Who helped, rebuked and loved and helped again,
 Moding an image of the heavenly mind. Till, as of old, tn minimizing crowd arose, And bound them fast i'll letters straight and strong, Crying, ''No longer will we bear with those Who stir mems souls with doctrines strange and wrong" And one forever struggled with his chain, Pleading and praying, "Oh, that I were free, Oh, that I were delivered from this pain, That again, 0 Lord, might toll for Thee. J The other sat and unused q little while, Blessing all things that came within his reach, Until the glory of his tender smile Melted the hearts that would not hear him teach. And when to God their souls exultant fled, One. wounded sore, but glad in freedom found The other in amazement only said I had forgot that was ever bound"

NONE IN THE NORTH,

Of course there is no real race preju-
 dice in the North, and here the negro
 gets all the. rights which are denied
 him in the South. But occasionally
 North were not the North there might
 be some race prejudice here, and the
 negro might not get all his rights. For
 instance, MT. Bennett of Brooklyn has
 had a quarrel with his neighbors and
 moved out of his house. MT. Bennett will only rent his house to a colored
 family, and has published a notice to that effect. T want colored family,o he said, Ito take the house so as to spite the neighbors and depreciate the value of their property" This incident has had the same effect on the Balti-
 more Sun that similar incident in the
 South might have on paper published in the North. The Sun says: Can such
 things be? Is it possible that there is
 race feeling or race prejudice in the
 North so strong that when a colored family comes into a neighborhood the value of property is Appreciated? We
 have been reading in the northern pa-
 pers the most extreme condemnation of southerners for becoming restless un- der negro rule and denying the colored ornaments of society full social recog- | milton. We have been looking to the North as a sure refuge for the ill-treat- ed colored people of the South, as a place where they would be welcomed
 with open arms. And now we are told,
 unblushingly, that the presence of one
 colored family in neighborhood depre-
 ciates property. Here is another lost | illusion.
 All there is to say in answer to the Sun is that there is no race oreiudice l in the North, and that the negro gets all his rights here. He has, to be sure, had a little trouble in Illinois lately, but that, we believe, resulted from his stu | pidity in expecting the governor of 1lli- 1 nois to be influenced by the Constitution
 of the United States and an oath of office.

AN OPPORTUNITY TOR PROTEST

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PROTEST.
 What human being with the heart of man in his bosom hath not rejoiced at the flutter of an angels wings as the soft and cheering sound has struck
 ms glad ear? In other words, what man doesn't like to hear the rustling of a woman's skirts? And what man, so
 liking, will not say "Ugh!" or
 'Humph!' at the attack which has been made in Georgia on the custom of wearing silk petticoats? A convention of the club women of Georgia was held
 the other day at Columbus. Many lovely and efficient beings were present as delegates. They wore clothes in | complete harmony with their loveli- | ness, and it is said the higher the office l of the delegate the greater swish there | was to her underskirt. Tn the heat of l debate the delegates would thoughtless- l ly perambulate around the hall, and
 the rustling was very annoying to those l speaking. This led to the motion to abandon permanently silk petticoats, they being dubbed a nuisance by sev- eral of the advanced members. The I motion was promptly tabled, but it l will be acted on by letter at an early 1 date, and it is feared that the silken
 underskirt will be repudiated by the i leaders of the women of Georgia.
 I Perhaps the men of Georgia can't do
 much in this matter, but they ought to
 make as strong a protest as they can.
 As long as the mosquito continues to
 sing when he cometh to sting, and as long as the rattlesnake continues 10

 proach. Of course we don't mean that Womans coming is anything like the
 coming of a mosquito or a rattlesnake
 What we mean is that the silken rustic l of Woman ought to be as much ex-
 pected and as regular as the singing

probably never be out of favor. Violet
 is as fashionable as ever. particularly so in the reddish shades, which are fav-
 orites with dressmakers in interpret ing new and stylish designs Violet cash
 mere was used for all but the under skirt of the novel gown that to-day's picture presents. Overskirts and bodice were trimmed with bands of the goods the basque being So fitted that the dress had almost the same effect of graceful unbroken lines that princess
 dresses have. Cuffs of lavender cloth matched the underskirt, and white
 chiffon furnished the throat bow. This might safely be more elaborate, for it Is cn gowns of this sort that highly wrought neck finish looks the best.
 Gold, gun metal, silver plain and oxi- dized, copper, aluminium and steel are among the metals employed for the passing fancies in jewelry. Gold plate on silver is much used, for even women who rarely consider cost do not deem it wise to invest in pure gold for a bit of jeWelry that is the fancy of the hour only. The latest notion in decoration is the Itte coil comb. Its narrow rather high back is made wonder of elabor- ation. Tortoise shell, gold wrought and flashed with gems, gold richly chased, silver set with precious stones, all these are seen. Other little combs with very low broad backs are equally beautiful. limitations of the best designs are so close in cheaper materials that the temptation is great to get something that "w,ll look just like the real thing. , Many of these will do nicely for the short season during which such things are a novelty.

FLORAL MoNsTRosITIEs.

Perfumed Petals Dyed with Aniline
 Sulphur and Colored Glass.
 A horticulturist in the south of France has by some secret method probably not unconnected with chem ical process, evolved blue mimosa which lie asserts will be found to equal the yellow variety in everything save it's scent.''
 This Is only one of the many success sors to the ghastly green earnation The difficulties in the way of produc- ing these horrible variegations are not great as might be expected Acids and aniline dyes are largely employed for the purpose. Place spray of lilies of the valley in little red ink and in couple of hours the petals will be striped with red.
 Sulphur fumes are common process of turning blossoms red. Steel or iron filings introduced in the soil will im- part deep blue color to the flower. A green border may be given to the con- mon narcissus by letting the flower stand in weak solution of aniline dye
 By cutting off from flowers the vari- ous components of light, by screening them with red, blue or green glass shades, various strange effects can be brought about. Buds of red flower kept in the dark become white when open. In a red light purple leaves turn green, and geranuim leaves vary in c9l- CT, size and shape. A red leaf loses it's red when kept in light of the same col or, and becomes yellow, edged with green. in a blue light. There is a b,,sr It ,,nI | n opens.s but if kept under colored glass the flower remains unchanged, while the unopened buds get lighter in c3lor. Acids set free in leaves and petals by the action of light alter the color of these. Gardeners follow course de- pendent upon this when they water with alum solution species of horten- sia; this flower, when 1t opens, is a yellowish green, but naturally it changes to rose color. The action of tEe alum neutralizes or prevents the formation of the acids above men, toned and blue blossom is the result. l In like way by the action of colored glasses strawberry flowers were made to fill the air with perfume, and the | blossoms of crassula, practically scent'ess in the open air, became en- | doWed with delicate odor, which 1t re- | tained when cut and placed in water. | More interesting than these artificial | methods of painting the lily and dyeing 1 the carnation are the natural means of | producing floral sports by crossing and | inte.breading. The green rcsa was l grown in this manner, but chrysanthe-
 nuns lend themselves most freely to l the treatment. A single plant by judi
 cious crossing will bring forth simulta-
 neously three blossoms, each of a diff | ferent variety.

THOSE ENTERPRISING GERMA NS.

Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz, Ger many, has shown in several of his re- ports that he is strongly impressed with the commercial enterprise Of the Germans. And he has also notified the commercial Yankees that they must get up early and work late if they want and intend to keep up with the Ger mans. Now he tells us what wonderful things the Germans are doing in Sibe
 ria. Hamburg has a Germans Siberian trading and shipping company whose purpose is to aid in establishing regu- lar trade between Germany and the Amur country. Khabarovsk, the last station on the line from Vladivosto k through the Usuri country, is most fav- orably situated at the confluence Of the Amur and Usuri rivers. The Hamburg people have made it the headquarters for all their operations in the Csuri and Amur regions. Under this central office are active agencies. all over the sec- tions of Siberia opened by the new road. These are supplied with samples
The daily morning journal and courier., 1898-11-26

and stocks of German manufactures suited to the wants of the Amur and Usuri people. Some of these are sold; many however, are exchanged for the river. forest, and farm products Of east ern Siberia. The vast regions through which the Usuri and Amur roll, the latter navigable many miles for fairly large steamers, offer opportunities for trade which are bound to increase. Rus sian steamship companies now carry goods up and down the Amur, from Nikalo. o.ewskai.
 Consul Monaghan thinks there is ev- cry reason to believe that Prince Hen- rvs trip in the district north of Vladivostock had for its object the ex- tension of German commerce into the districts of the Amur and Usuri rivers. It is worth mentioning, too, that Ger many ranks first among the States trading with these districts. There are eighty-two German ships, agsreeatin #, 900 tons, heading the list of those plying between Vladivostock and Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Nagasaki. The sudden rise of Vladivostock, after the rates for travel and freight were reduc- ed on the usuri railroad, is due, to a great extent, to the enterprise of Ger man shipowners. The growing commer- cial interests of the Germans in that province are sure to predominate, as in- dustry develops. Most of the men who are making markets in Russia for Ger man manufactures are masters Of the
 Russian language. Agencies under Ger | man directors are at work in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Odessa, Nizhnt Nov gorod, yladivostock, and Khabarovsk. This isn't very cheering for the Unit ed States. But perhaps when We get l the great trade with the Philippines | fully established we can go from there 1 to Siberia and overcome the Germans.

BELLOWS OF WHEAT.

Workmen Chased Out of Warehouse
 by Flood of Grain.
 Six tho"sand bushels of unsacked wheat got loose and went on tear. It
 happened in the warehouse of the F. C.. Ayres Mercantile company yesterday
 afternoon. The scenes that followed were something similar to those de- scribed by Victor Hugo when cannon got loose from it's fastenings on board ship and rolled and reared from one end of the gun deck to another until the ship was disabled and a number Of it's crew killed. Only, nobody was killed by the wheat.
 In the rear of the Ayres warehouse are four great bins, built up from the ground floor and capable of holding twenty-five carloads of wheat at a tme They are substantial affairs, and once grain of wheat gets into them it is pretty likely to stay there, safe from
 rats and thieves, until it's owners get ready to shovel it out again.
 About three o'clock yesterday after noon the company's bookkeeper sitting in his office at the front of the build ng,
 ore hundred feet or more from the bins, heard terrific ripping, tearing, splin- tering sound as if the whole end of the
 warehouse was being torn out by a monster hand. Before he had time to jump out of his char this sound was succeeded by another, a rumbling, grumbling, roaring, moving noise. like l the coming down of the cataract at Lodore CT the approach of a hurricane. | He rushed from the little box of an of l flee out on to the main floor of the warehouse, He paused. gasped for breath and threw up his hands. What he saw was giant wave of wheat flowing toward him, licking at l the very heels of dozen laborers who l had been at work near the bins and who were now fleeing for their lives. The wave flowed high, foam of wheat snapping from it's crest now and then and falling in a grainy spray on the | heads of the pursued. Afterward the | men ran whisk brooms down their backs to brush the tickly wheat out. | The ocean of wheat moved onward 1 for a score of feet or more and then l ealmed down as suddenly as if a barrel of oil had been spread on it's troubled 1 waves. The bookkeeper yelled to the I laboring men to stop running, pulled I his hands down to their accustomed ! pockets, took deep breath and whis. 1 ted
 By and by the cloud of dust that had
 arisen drifted away and the hookkeep- CT and the laboring men could see what l had happened.It didn't take long. One of the stout beams had grown weak 1 from the burden on it's back and
 snapped in two. A hundred other stout | beams had followed suit. There was
 nothing left for the imprisoned wheat
 to do but to make rush for asless con- 1 fined resting place. There were six l thousand bushels of it in the bin, and I it was no wonder that it's moving
 caused consterration.
 l After the dozen laboring men had re-
 covered their wits and gone to worl
 again the little bookkeerer in the from ! office said the damage done would not exceed fifty dollars. All that was ne
 cessary to do to save the wheat was te
 sweep it up off the floor and put 1t ir l sacks.--Denver Republican.

Justice Frear of the Hawaiian Su- preme court is quoted as saying: Our planters are now starting in to make a serious attempt to introduce white 1a- borers Some have already been brought in from California, and it is believed the experiment will succeed. The mo- tion seems to prevail in some quarters that white men cannot work in the tropics. It must be remembered, how ever, that there are differences in trop- dcal countries. Hawaii really is on the edge of the tropics. Furthermore, the Islands are tempered by cool ocean current which reduces the temperature ten degrees below that of other coun- tries in the same latitude. A great proportion of the best coffee lands are located in a very temperate zone.
