Fifty thousand carnations in the pos

which Harlow n. Higinbotham, former
president of the Worlds Columbian expo
sition and at present one of the richest
men in the country, is proud.
1t is the ambition of this wealthy Chi
cagoan to own every variety of the plant
which he has placed on a pedestal. He
has come pretty near succeeding, but he

flower 5000, years salary of the men

eight greenhouses near his Joliet country

thoughtful act which inaugurated her
social reign in India She had calculated
that the steamship Arabia would come
into Alden harbor on or about Christmas
day, and that Christmas eve would
therefore be spent on board. She ac-
cordingly made her preparations to give
the children on the ship a pretty sur
prise. On Christmas eve everybody was
summoned to the saloon, where big
Christmas tree was discovered by the
delighted youngsters, laden with huge
crackers, boxes of sweets and most at
tractiVe presents and blazing with
candles. The grown-up passengers
were invited to see the fun, and were
hardly less gratified than the children.
The entertainment began with recher-
che tea, after which the presents were
distributed by Lady Curzon, who looked
charming enough to be the good fairy
of the occasion. and was dressed In
white muslin, with a blue sash and
picturesque hat trimmed with forget
me-nots. Each child had several pres
ents, and Lord Curzon, with the assem-
bled officers, entered heartily into the
fun. An amusing feature was the Off
cial solemnity of the purser, who stood
by Lady CurZon'S chair under the tree,
holding a long rod tipped with a wet
sponge! This novel wand was used to
extinguish such of the candles as did
not behave we'll, thereby minimizing
any risk of fire. At the end of the party
there was a general popping of crackers
and everybody spent a merry evening.

plants show their beauty in blossoming

greenhouses, a mass of glad blossoms, is a
beautiful thing for the eyes of men.
Mr. Higinbotham is constantly expert

with that of another variety of color. This
system of Decentralization frequently
brings out rare specimens, and it is in per-
