MEIssoNIER'S GARDENER.
Seeds Planted and Wonderful Crop
 That Resulted.

A good story is being told about a gGrdener who was for many years III the service of Meissonier.
 This gardener was not only wonder fully skilled in the art of cuitivating flowers and vegetables, but he also was a true scientist and, as he was endowed with a phenomenal memory, he was able to give offhdnd the botanical name of any pant that Was shown to nlm. Some of his employers friends ire auently tried to baffle him by handling him seeds or cuttings of exotic or other out of the way points. but they never succeeded.
 Now, Meissonler was proud of him, but he vowed that he would once at least, bewildsr him, and one day, while Emile Augier was dining with him, he summoned the gardener and. taking from his pocket small paper pack age, in which he had previously placed some eggs of dried herings. he said to him: Here are some curious seeds. Can you tell me what they are?"
 of course. can. sir" replied the gardener and after examining them for a moment or two, he gave them a most impressive Latin name.
 If you SOW them now" asked the plainer. "how long will it take for them to appear above ground?"
 "A fortnight" was the reply.
 Well" said Meissonier. II wish you would sow them at once. for am curi- ous to see what kind of plant 1t Is"
 A fortnight later Emile Augier de- siring to see the end of this joke, came to breakfast at the painters villa, and as he and his host were 1t the table the gardener presented himself and said: If you gentlemen will oblige me by stepping into the garden I will show you the plants that those curious seeds have produced"
 The two friends followed him to the conservatory, where he pointed out to them twelve odd looking objects in q box filled with freshly watered brown earth. They stopped to examine them more closely and the next moment they burst into shouts of laughter. for the strange objects were the heads of twelve red herrings
