to it's cost. The three shapes are
each entirely different, yet all desir-
able and in mode. The one cone or

anything different, especially when it

how she came to write under that
name. She tells what glorious times
she had as little girl playing in the
forest, when she would tie her little
hood over her dark brown hair and
with her two big st. Bernard dogs by
her side would race through the for
est, avoiding all beaten paths, and
listen to its voices. ''The forest sang
songs to me-" she continues, (which
/ wrote down afterward at home, but
which never showed to anyone. It
was our secret-the woods and
mine." When she married she had
already written large volume of
poems and had tried her hand at the
drama and at prose fiction, having
written her first story at the age of
II and her first play at IA. "But l
knew quite well that it was all very
poor stuff" she says. ''Not till was
five-and-thirty did let anything be
printed, and that was only because SO
many people took the pains to copy
verses from my scrap book that I
wanted to spare them the trouble and
simplify matters"
She cast about for a name under
which to hide her identity, and de-
cided upon that of Waldgesang, or
Woodsong, which in Latin is Carmen
Sylvae. AS the last word did not look
quite like a real name she took the
liberty of dropping the final letter
and made it Carmen Sylvia. Under
this name she long hid her royal per-
sonality. "If to-day I come forth
from that shelter that was like the
broad leaves of the silver linden
spread over me, it is because SO many
friends, and especially dear children,
have asked it of me, and because
have now white hair and would so
gladly be grandmother if only God
had granted me that blessing"

oD0R FOR CHRYSANTHEMUM.
Florists Are Now Seeking q Means ia
Add to the Flowers At.
fractions.

How to impart perfume to the
plishment of which is just now ear
nestly being sought by florists, both
professional and amateur, in all Sec
tons of the country. The development
of the chrysanthemum within the last
few years from an unattractive flower
to it's present high state of perfection,
beauty and commercial value is one OF
the wonders of horticultural history.
To English florists is due the credit OF
this development, but this country has
not been slow in cultivating that flow
er, and the correctness of the CONNER
cial instinct of the professional florists
in this direction can be realized when
it is known that their revenue from
this flower alone was $500,000 last year.
More flowers are said to be bought
in New York than in any other city in
the world, and the prices paid are
higher. In this connection it is not un-
interesting to note that the flower in
dustry of the whole country, says the
Washington Star, is assuming large
proportions and is increasing in per-
haps more rapid ratio than other
commercial enterprises. The govern
ment figures are available for the year
1889. and show that during that year
s2,73s,426 was expended for the laborin
the flower industry in this country. The
value of the whole product is placed at
$11, 1922, which commercial florists
have thought too low an estimate. The
land on which the flowers were raised
and the value of the buildings in use
is estimated at So, 1869, 4s7.

CARMEN sYLvA's TALES.
"a Real Queens Fairy Tales IL the
Latest Book from the Pen of
ROumania's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumania,
whose pen name of Carmen Sylvia is
known all over the world, has writ
ten a new volume of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half a dozen differ
ent countries. The American transla-
ton by Miss Edith Hopkirk is charm
ing in it's simplicity and grace. George
T. B. Davis has written an enthusiast
tic introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life.
She is charming hostess and bril-
liant conversationalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
in half a dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs, q
philosophical treatise, and an opera
libretto, but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity of these tales
is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
ideas and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
to hold a child spellbound. The
fairies are of the good and noble va
riety, and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most rnselfsh acts. The tales
breathe an elevating influence, yet
their morals are not of the dull or
obvious kind. The moral is part OF
the warp and wool of the story.
The supernatural is a subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylva's fairy tales.
1t is used chiefly to give scope to her
own tastes and longings, as when she
creates a fairy that changes base
metal into gold to aid in deed OF
kindness, or when she causes fairy
to help musician in writing mas
terpiece. Her love of the woods, of
birds and flowers, of music and chill
dren and of gentleness and unselfish-
ness is embodied in these tales with
real literary art.
In the concluding chapter Carmen
sylvia explains to her child readers

COON OF HIGH DEGREE.
His Taste for Art Has Gone So Far
as to Result In His DevOurtn4
Pictures.

His name is Rastus-which does
not suggest aristocratic associations,
artistic surroundings, and the hob
nobbing with celebrities, by any
means.
But this particular Rastus has all
of these. He is big, fat, sleek coon,
the pet of Frederick Keppel, the
print seller in Sixteenth street, New
York, and his home is in little court
adjoining the shop, while the domain
of his wanderings covers the entire
space occupied by the stock of old
engravings, etchings and prints in the
several floors of the building.
Rastus disdains ordinary associa-
tions. His best friends, outside OF
Mr.. Keppel, are Ernest Thompson Sc.
ton and Oliver Herford. Both
these lovers of the four-footed tribe
frequently visit Rastus and hold long
and intimate conversations with his
coonship. A habit that some of Ras-
tus' friends have of carrying dainties
for him in their pockets has induced
in him certain pickpocket proclivities
that astonish casual visitors to the
esta blishment.
A few days ago one Of these
stopped to examine a print that was
tackled on the wall in position near
the floor. In an instant Rastus slyly
took a position behind the visitor.
and his hands rapidly event
through" the latter's pockets with
the skill of professional follower of
Fagin. But he soon discovered that
the visitors pockets contained only
such articles as knife, coins and bills
absolutely useless and without
value to hungry coon.
Rastus has fine ''taste'.' for art.
Indeed, it has gone so far at times as
to result in his "devouring'' prints
left about in positions of insecurity.
Probably there never was coon OF
more fastidious habits. In the little
court where Rastus suns himself
when the print shop is not inviting
he has large tub of water. When
a visitor gives him biscuit, Rastus
invariably goes to the tub and care
fully douses the food before eating it.
His chief delight after that is. to run
quickly and wipe his paws on the un-
suspecting ones cuffs.-N. Y. Times.
