BIRDS AND FLOWERS.

There is a plant in Holland known as
the evening primrose, which grows to u
height of five or six feet. and bears
profusion of large, yellow flowers. so
brilliant that they attract immediate at
tention, even at great distance. But
the chief popularity about the plant is
the fact that the flowers. which open just
before sunset, burst into bloom so sud
denly that they give one the impression
of some magical agency. A man who has
seen this sudden blooming says it is just
as if some one had touched the land
with a wand, and thus covered 1t all at
once with a golden sheet.
A European international agreement
has been concluded at Paris for the pro-
lection of birds useful to agriculture.
The parties to the agreement are Bel
GUM, France Greece, .LiChtenstein. Lux
emburg, Monaco. Austria Hungary, Por-
tugal, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain.
Among the birds accounted useful are
certain nocturnal birds of prey, as well
as bee-eaters, swallows and several birds
OF the sparrow species, while ravens
magpies. jays and some others are brand"
ed as mischievous. Italy, a country in
which the capture of northward-bound
birds is a regular trade. does not appear
among the signatories.
The use of orange flowers at weddings
was introduced into England by Queen
Victoria on her marriage. Like most
feminine fashions. this one came from
France, which, In turn had derived It
from Spain. According to an old legend,
the Moors introduced the orange tree into
Spain, and for a long time the only tree
was possessed by the King. Desiring to
present an orange tree to his sovereign,
the French ambassador offered the royal
gardener a large sum for a cutting. but
the bride was refused. The gardener s
daughter had a lover whom poverty pre-
vented her marrying. To obtain the neo-
essary dowry she secretly cut of and
sold a slip of the orange tree to the am
bassador. On her marriage. in recogni-
ton of her debt to the plant which had
brought about the happy event, she wore
a wreath of orange blossoms, and thus
originated the custom.
