A RLIrE ROSE.

| If we may trust the story forwarded | by our Vienna correspondent to-day, a
 grower in the charming valley of Ke-
 zanlil1 has attained the summit of flori- cultural ambition. He has produced a
 blue rose. If in the Middle Ages, some
 one had announced his veritable dis covery of the philosophers stone, his- tory would furnish us with parallel to
 the f1utter which the news of this mar
 vel is likely to send through the botani-
 cal world. At last the feat which gen.
 erations of nurserymen have been pa
 tiently laboring at has been performed.
 If the rose has been forced to adopt an
 azure tint hardly anything in the way
 of transformation need be considered
 unattainable. It is predicted that the
 novel bloom will soon be abundant in
 the market. And then? Well, then, we
 suppose, we shall have ceased to won-
 der; shall take cerulean petals as a com
 monplace thing and, perhaps, if we are
 wise and frank, confess that we very much prefer the old-fashioned red or white or yellow.
 Cultivation beyond all controversy has
 added immensely to the wealth of our gardens and greenhouses. Species that are poor and limited in range have been developed into an infinite variety of ex- quisite or imposing forms. No one how
 ever obstinately he may be devoted to simplicity and primitiveness, will ven ture to deny the debt he owes, not only to the collector but to the grower of orchids. So we may go through the ver-lengthening list of beautiful plants and at each stage reflect how much sin cere delight we should miss if the ex- perts had been less. keen about crosS- fertilization, change of soil and water, and all the other devices by which the parent stock has been converted into a multitude of well-nigh unrecognizable But, while it would be af- fectatiOn to regret the spirit of comne- tition and the straining for more varia- ton which have resulted in such addi- tions to our floral wealth, it must be ac- also that some of the pro- ducts of the experimental florists have to recommend them except the extreme difficulty of bringing about the Neither men nor nightingales will ever worship a blue rose, and once 1t becomes easy to multiply them they will be treated with as small respect as ! pink hyacinth. Still, a period of fash ionable triumph may be predicted for he strange blossom, during which spec mens will cause blocks in the moving crowd at flower shows. and be voted curious" and even pretty by the am lteurs.

THE GREAT VINE OF SANTA BAR PARA DESTROYE

The big grapevine in the Montecito will be cut down on Monday. This vine is the largest of it's kind in the world, and no tourist considers his visit to Santa Barbara complete without having seen it. It is known the world over. The trunk is over four feet in circumfer- ence and the trellis seventy-tive feet square, Albert Magee, it's owner, is sat is1ed that the vine is dying, and so has decided to destroy it.
 The vine is supposed to be from sev- enty-five- to one hundred years old Where is no definite record of its plant ing, but the cutting was set by a MT Robles. Its histry Is interesting. The original vine, which was taken up af- ter it's death and carried to Philadelphia in 1876 as an exhibit at the Centennial Exposition, was cutting from a Mis- sion grape It had been used as a rid ing whip by some senorita who came to visit the Robles home either from Ventura or Carainteria. She planted the cutting with her own hands, and it took root and grew undisturbed for years. From the thrifty young vine the Robles family took another cutting and planted it near the first. The soil and ether conditions were extraordinarily fa- vorable, and both vines grew to enor- nous size.-San Francisco Call.

Love of change is one of the funda- mental impulses of the average human being, and it has played more than the customary part in determining the mu- tations of flower worship. Just now there is an extraordinary craze for re- ducing arum lilies to the dimensions of a crocus; but when the limits of dwarf ing are reached there may be a reaction in favor of growing the plant to the size of palm-tree. At each stage of met amorphosis there will be admirers, and what is more to the purpose of the pro- fessionals-a fair number of purchasers. Things run through the whole gamut of change; but Nature is avenged at last, and the last wave of the hybridizer's wand will restore the object of his thau- maturgy to the simple, original form A future generation may yet hail-in some far-away offspring of the blue rose-the dear familiar feature of the indigenous briar.-London Standard.

PROVED RY TESTS

The death of Hiram Staats, former resident of Fair Haven, son of Rev. Mir. Staats, in Pasadena, Cal, last month, from hydrophobia aroused considerable discussion among the scientific men of that section, for they had hitherto aver red that the dread disease could not ex- ist in California. A Hartford Courant reporter recently learned that immedi- ately after the death of MT. Staats three rabbits were inoculated with his blood in order to prove beyond doubt that his sad end was caused by hydrophobia. After the necessary time had elapsed one of the rabbits died in terrible con- vulsions and soon after the second one of the three inoculated died in the same way, thus proving to the scientific world that hydrophobia can exist in Pasadena as well as anywhere else. The Pasadena Evening Star says that it took the death of a noble young man to demonstrate that this disease is thing to be feared on the Pacific coast. MT. Staats little son, who was bitten al the same time by the same dog that attacked his father has returned to Pasadena perfectly well from Chicago, where he received the pasteur treatment

made and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with

organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantIy and could not
sleep. she finally discovered a way to
recovery by purchasing of US bottle

sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night and with two bottles has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs

"You hurt Walters feelings speaking
as you did" iIeard Helen say to Tom
reproachfully.
81 can't help that" answered Tom
sharply. "Its my way to say just what
think"
y am we'll aware OF that" answered
Helen "but I have often thought thai
1t WAS a very poor way, and, II veie
you, I would try to. change it,
Il cannot very we'll make myself
over" said Tom, stfHy.
"Then, I suppose, If it was man.
natural disposition to steal. be must
give up to it and take anything be bap,
pens to want?"
"Thata different entirely, Helen.
Why don't you girls talk sense?" And
Tom walked off, as though anxious to
end the conversation.
As fer me, wondered if we we're all
inclined to feel that we ale excusable
for many ways of our short-comlngs
because they are "our way"
What If it is natural for US to say
just what we think? Is it not often
nrklnd? Is it always best?
lou reulelnber the story of the con.
test between the wind aud sun? Tie
wind thought to blow off a travellers
cloak, but the more he clustered, the
barber he blew, the closer the man
wrapped his garment about him. Then
he sun shone upon him, and soon
he man pat off not only his cloak, but
his coat
There are times, certainly, when we
must speak the plain, untarnished truth
OF be false to our best and highest self ];
but there arc more times when truth
spoken gracefully and tactfully is far
more effective and helpful. And as
for our ways" 1t is much better to
tiicIl 1T IL tftif solemn CClF,
indeed. When a man buys farm, he
does not say it is the natural way of
this land to produce weeds, does he?
No lie plows and enricI,es it, and sovs
good seed. The stronger the tendency
to produce weeds, the more labor and
pains he bestoWs upon it to insure
good crop. Ought it not to be 50 With
Us? TIE more faulty our ways and
dispositions, the mere earnestly should
we strive TO change them.
/ remember reading that among Mrs.
papers was found his
prayer: Take me as I am, and make
me what thou wouldst have me to be-
Have we not all need to offer that
prayer? We eau only bring ourselves
rs We are, but God, in his infinite loye
and power, can make Us what he would
have us to be, if we wilI let him.
