Adulterated Flowers Now.

Many persons have been rudely
shocked to find that flower for which
perhaps they gave a considerable sum
and which they took to be genuine proved
subsequently, to be artificial in every par
ticular. Within our own experience not
long ago the attention of a gentleman sit
ting at dinner was drawn to the fact that
his shirt front and coat were gradually
being covered with streaks of a brilliant
red color. He was wearing a bright ear
nation in his buttonhole which at quite
short distance, as it appeared subse-
Quently, deceived perfectly. Even the
perfume was admired. The Flower" had
just been watered to freshen it and ii
was then seen that on the water drops
detaching themselves they were of a
brilliant I'd color. while the "carnation"
gradually assumed faint yariegated APP
pearance owing to some of the coloring
matter being washed out. General in
credulity was expressed that, Mt first
sight, the flower could be anything but
rea.. y laboratory examination, how
ever, soon brought the whole truth to
light, and the results are remarkable and
certainly credit to the ingenuity of the
designer.
There was not The yestige of n carna-
ton about it, The flower" consisted of
slices of turnip neatly cut and dyed with
Of twisted cloth dyed dark green with
chromium: the bloom was very fine
starch powder delicately busted over the
stems and leaves; and the support to the
whole clever fabric was a concealed iron
wire. A synthetic amber-colored oil
known as "oeillet' completed the decep-
ton in giving a perfume wonderfully imi-
tatiye of the genuine carnation. Alto
;ether we can hardly conceive of a clev-
crer deceit and il is satisfactory to he
able to add that so far as our observa-
tons went it is free from positive harm
except to wearing apparel.
On carefully searching the various ma
terlalS for irritating substances and poi
Sonous metals we could not obtain the
slightest evidence that such were pres
ent, Il is clearly possible, however, that
the colors used for artificial flowers may
contain substances injurious to health
such as, for example, arsenic.-Iancet.

Strange, reserved unsOciaI bird,
Flittering, peering mid the leaves.
Thy lonely call n twOfold word
Repeated like a soul that grieves.-
"Kou-kOu.' ''kou-kOu''-a solemn plant
Now loud and full, now far and faint.
A joyiess winged anchorste
Or hapless exile in the land,
Oft informing in the night
A rune l fain would underestimate
'.Kcu-kou," 'Kou-k ou.' a boding cry,
When night enfolds the earth and sky
With eye and motions of the dove.
And throat G1at swell and heaves.
Thy life seems quite untouched by love,
Or by the spell that passion weayes
'.kou-kOu," ''Kou- kou.'' a doleful note
From out smooth and doveike throat.
Thy nest little scaffolding
OF loosely woven boughs,
Compared with nests of birds that sing,
hut beside house.
.Kou-kou," "Kou-kou," unsocial sound.
When blithe and festive calls abound.
The raincrow-wise in weather lore?
Or dust thou try TO say in vain
The words of thine of days OF yore?
koukou," Kou-kou," a weird call,
When happy skies are over all!
''Kou-cOu,' "Kou-cou," repeated oft.
Like one who half recalls the chimes
OF Cuckoo Cuckoo" in wood and croft
Across the seas in Wordsworth's times.
'Kou-kou," ''Koukou," cheeriess
strain
That TO country folk forebodeth rain.
Thy voice hath lost its bllthesome tone,
Thy ways have changed from gay to
grave;
Do nesting cares make thee to moan
Since fnche now Is not thy slave?
'Kou-kou," ''Kou-kou," in voice forlorn.
AS IL thy breast were on a thorn.
Rut thou hast gained In love 7 weeu
And gained in hue a FURNISHED brown;
In thicket dense thy nest is seen,
And love of young Is now thy crown.
''Kou-cou." ''Kou-cOu," a call OF love,
Though doleful as a mourning dove.

MOTHER WAS At THE CLUB.
Little Boy Tells of His Advent in This
World.

In the State Federation of Women's
clubs at the morning session Mrs. Hugh
Reed Griffin of London was invited to
address the convention. Mrs. Griffin,
whose husband is an American. formed
the first American women's club in Lon
don. The club has become very popular
has attracted widespread attention in
England and has the effect of establish
ing better understanding between Eng
fish and American women.
Mrs. Griffin told about the formation
of the club and its work. She stated that
there was some prejudice in England
against the American clubwoman, and
that she, herself, shared that prejudice
to some degree.
''The American clubwoman is so terri
bly, busy that | often wonder, and so do
other people wonder, if she finds any time
at all TO spend at home" said Mrs. Grit
fin. Il heard Il story once which aptly
illustrates this fault in the American
clubwoman. Three little boys were to-
gether and their childish talk finally
drifted to the question Of where they
were born. One little boy said:
- know where | was born. | was
born at 3S Washington street and know
where the house is, too.
And one of the other little boys said {:
~ know where | was born. too. 1t
was at 80 PENNSYLVANIA avenue, and l
can take you right to the house
The third little boy hesitated and
then finally said:
~ don't know where | was born. but
| know when | was born. | know there
wasn't anybody home at the time but
mo and grandma cause mother was at
the Climb buffalo Commercial.

ton. With some little difficulty | sue
ceeded in forcing back the catch of a
large portmanteau that stood i'll the cor
ner Of the compartment. The first OBJ
lect that met my eye was a wig of white
hair; beneath it lay a box of grease
paints. similar to those used by actors in
making up"
Mr.. Longs purse was not to be seen,
but at the bottom of the portmanreau We
found pocketbook containing several
Danknotes,. the numbers of which agreed
with the list given me of the notes paid
away by the bank on the spurious check.
We had reached this stage of our
search when the cabin door suddenly
swung open and Miss Beslake appeared
III the entrance.
What is the meaning Of this-this I'M
gentlemanly proceedings" she cried, moi
without tremor of fear in her tones.
1t means that YOU are strongly sus-
pected of having stolen twenty pounds
from Mr.. Longs cabin" replied the cap
tain, awkwardly.
Suspected" echoed the young lady,
angrily. do you mean that on bare sus-
piclon you have subjecaed us to this out
rage! And yod, Mr.. Hamilton
=, Il am sorry" | said, stepping forward,
but it is more than suspicion with me.
The notes | hold in my hand are part of
a cheque forged on Messrs. Armitage's
bank. How came they in your posses
sion %
1t is needless to describe the scene that
ensued even now | cannot recall it With
out a pang of sorrow. Suffice it to say,
that on my return to England had three
prisoners under my care-Mrs and Miss
Beslake, as well as the man, Tom Pur-
doe, whose safe custody back to London
had been the primary object of my mis-
sion. OF him it is not necessary to speak
here.
Miss Belake was identified by Mr..
Hewitt as a former governess of his
children, she having left his employment
q month prior to the presentation of the
cheque on the bank. In her confidential
capacity she had had no difficulty in OBJ
tainirg access to the library, and so ac-
compliShing her nefarious purpose. She
had stepped into the carriage at Euston
a decrepit old woman, and issued from
it a bright and agile girl. At Liverpool
her mother had met her, Mrs. Beslake
having reason of her own for not wish
ing to be seen in London.
There can be no doubt that in reality
Mrs. Beslake was the prime mover in
the whole disreputable affair; for at the
trial, before sentence was passed upon
them, it was conciusively shown that she
had more than once served terms of i'm
prisonment for similar offenses.-Wom-
ans Life.
