THE LILAC.
Some Reflections on One of the Beau
tifuI Flowers of the Season
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
One of the most delightful among the
flower festivals of the year is that of the
lilac; 1t is also one of the earliest This
old favorite, beloved of our grandmothers.
has not only lost none of its ancient charm
but in these latter days develops from time
TO time new abilities to delight, as hitherto
little known species are brought forward
and new varieties are produced by the
hybridizers. The old limits of its Towering
period have also been greatly ex-
tended by the same means. No other flow
ering shrub except the rose is such a uni
versal favorite and lies so near to our
hearts; it is the flower of rich and poor
alike, for IL grows stoutly everywhere with
only the least encouragement, and is so
thoroughly hardy that even in the most
severe seasons when many other of our
most reliable plants have succumbed TO the
rigors of our Northern winter, il never
fails 10 cover itself in the Towering season
with loads of fragrant bloom.
Though probably of Oriental origin the
lilac has had long history in Europe. The
eminent botanist, Franchet, in an article
quoted at length in Garden and Forest
from the Revue HoFticole, says il was
brought into western Europe about the
middle of the fifteenth century Pierre
Belon, the interesting old French natural
list, saw it about 154S in the gardens of Con-
stantinople; the first exact information,
however, dates from 1865 when an excellent
figure of the plant under the name of lilac
appeared in Mattiolus's commentaries of
D1oscorides, which was made from a
painting brought from Constantinople by
Busbecq, the ambassador of Ferdinand |,
who lived several years in that city. Bus
becq is generally supposed to have intro
duced the lilac into Europe, probably first
into Italy. Mattiolus, who had not seen
the living plant when the first edition of his
commentaries was published, relates in a
later one that he had received before 1910
Towering and fruiting branches from the
botanical garden of Padua.
The lilac soon thereafter became popular
in western and central Europe. and is
spoken of in 1601 as common in the gardens
OF Belgium and Germany, appearing a the
same time under the same name in the
neighborhOod of Paris, though twenty
years later ii is called in Morin's cata-
logue siringa corruela lusitania. 1t is gen
orally supposed that the lilac is of Asiatic
origin, and, though found growing natural

some as an indigenous growth there this

TROUBLE WITH EXCHANGE.
One large order escaped him the other
day by reason of a decline in exchange
which advanced the silver cost of an in
tending buyer beyond figure at which he
might have had the goods before exchange
fell, and native merchants in various places
are clearly impressed that the scheme may
have merit 1t will be persistently pushed,
and should it succeed, as seems probable,
the invasion will mark an advance in the
China field as promising as can be imagined
for the substitution of American sundries
for other products heretofore purely native.
This has occurred with flour. with kerosene,
with cottons, for none of which the Chinese
needed to go outside of their own land, and
the step now proposed is not a long one.
If the United States can furnish China with
food, light and clothing. the trade wedge
would seem to have been inserted far
enough to provide for the entry of almost
anything that they can use 1t is not posi-
BILE to predict how far the item of exchange
may retard trade. Probably one of the last
things that China will abandon will be its
silver currency. IN uedllIS WITH lnlS pTOD-
lem native prejudice is no more an obstacle
than foreign greed. Exchange is the
primary, if not the sole, function of most
of the banks. The conversion of credits
into taels, then into Mexican dollars, and
often afterward into local silver, a commits
sion shaved with each computation, and
separate discounts at every port as though
bank regarded no one SO suspiciously as
its own branch at another place, argue
more for the permanence of the existing
system than native protests, which at best
could be helpless. Foreign complaint of
the increased cost of living in China is
mostly twaddle in so far as it affects for
eigners, for they sell on a gold basis, and
prices advance with the decline in silver.
The pressure comes on natives whose earn
ing capacity has not kept pace with the ad-
vance. Since business is not moral agency,
it may be pleasing to know that English
supremacy is to be subjected TO American
siege, and that American missions need no
longer confine their local expectations to
what may be spared from meager commits
sions on dry goods and the like.

from the palest tint to the deepest indigo,
hanging from clothes lines so that the
and air may dry them. When the color is
thus fixed the cloths are taken down and
fashioned into garments. In some sections
a black dye is used moderately AS may be
supposed. the dye is not always well ap-
piled. and usually it is far from being fast.
Moreover, IT is bought in small quantities
and at retail prices. The New York firm
whose agent has been here handles not
only the output of various cotton mills, but
ii has also a dyeng establishment equipped
with modern machinery, and Of course con-
Quoted on a scale which insures the ad-
vantage of the best market for dyes in
wholesale quantities. The firm thought
we'll enough OF an inspection of this field
to send out one Of the partners. He has
scattered samples of his work among ma
tive dealers over a wide territory for the
purpose of demonstrating to them that he
can put on their shelves goods in which
the dyes are more evenly laid than can be
done by hand process. and of faster quality.
which they may sell at less addition to the
cost Of bleached goods than consumers pay
for the dyes that they buy at retail. BY
this offer he hopes TO overcome the con-
sideration of costless labor for dyeing.
Chinese are so tenacious of custom and so
suspicious of innovation that although the
proposition seems unanswerable, it has not
resulted in a rush of orders. Consequently
the agent has retained native runners who
will distribute samples OF his goods among
native shops every fortnight. and thus keep
the goods continually in view of native
merchants and their customers. If it takes
some time to convince the Chinese that
they may better themselves there is COM
fort in the reflection that their prejudices
are not impenetrable, and if once convinced
that they can get a superior article at no
greater cost than they pay for an inferior
one and possibly cheaper a favorable out
