narcissus and other lilies began. Hundreds
of tons of these are shipped from the ISL
ands annually.
Just who suggested to the people of the
isles the possibilities of flower culture re-
mains in some doubt but the fact that
the hint came almost simultaneously with
the advent of the fashion for floral decor
alton proves that it was some person both
shrewd and observant. After the manner

Now the florists have commenced TO re-

ticularly the husband of Eva Mann. a
congenial one. Violent quarrels followed.
In August 1889, they had practically de-
cided on a separation. Hamilton agreed
to give the woman $1,000 She demanded
$1,000. A violent quarrel followed in their
nome at Mays Landing, n J.
Mrs Donnelly, employed as nurse, was
called in. Eva Mann was in a rage. She
had torn her husbands clothing nearly
Off she had hurled a whisky bottle at

Mrs Donnelly resented it, Eva Mann
picked up a hunting knife of her husband
and sta bbed the nurse. 1t was thought
for a time she might die. For this Mrs.
Robert Ray Hamilton, otherwise Eva
Mann, was sentenced to two years impris-

husband, driven TO despair and gaining
an insight into her true character, sought
the aid of Inspector Byrne, at that time

Hamilton went west. He had a ranch
Marymere-in JaCksOn's Hole, near the
border between Wyoming and Idaho, just
south of the Yellowstone National Park.
He went to lavish expense in fitting up the

and there he spent his time hunting. John
D. Sargent and his wife and family lived
on the ranch with him. Apparently they
were on the best of terms.

During half the cycle of each year
veritable language of flowers is the shop
TALK of the Scilly Isles. Through all
the twelve-month the gossip OF bulo-prop-
agation is a staple conversation, but from
shortly after Christmas until the period
when Americans are entering upon sum-
mer vacations it is an all-absorbing topic.
AS cotton-raising was formerly the chiet
Industry of the South in this country, so
flower culture engages the attention OF
the people who live and have their be-
ing upon these islands Men. women and
children spend their days in fields carpet
ed with wax-like blossoms as thickly
strewn as the flowers on wallpaper, or in
packing houses so heavy with the odor
of the bloom as to be almost sitting.
Nature. as il mindful of the ultimate
use of the isles, has carefully guarded the
fiower-land from the fury OF snarling
winds, and so on almost all sides bleak,
rugged barriers of rock shut off the spray
of the sea. The growers assisted In the
work by rearing dense hedges Of escallonia,
veronica and laurel. II is In these seques-
tered hooks that the narclssus thrives. and
sprlnkled along the flower-bordered high
ways are also many dainty dels of daffo-
oils and patches of other blooming plants.
The Sicily Islands are Cornish group,
lying southwest of the coast of England.
The climate is mild, but necessarily damp,
and, although the weather Is changeable
and frequently stormy the temperature is
extremely equable, averaging IS degrees
Fahrenheit in summer, and 40 degrees in
winter. No part of the islands is more
than 100 feet above the sea level. In for

There Is a steamer to Penzance three

there is at least one steamer. and some-
