the ground, to give it good charac-

inquiring of Donald as to how it was

had any deer.
Donald's reply was: "Thoosands

FLOWERS OF THE GREAT.
King Edward Prefers Violet, Salisbury
the Yellow Carnation.

1ne YellOW AaInaIlOu. .-'ss
King Edwards favorite flower, ac-
cording to Stray Stories, is the yio-
let, closely followed by the auricula
the latter being an especial favor
ite for buttonhole purposes. The
wildfowers Of the English woods,
notably the primrose and bluebell
are dearest to the heart of Queen
Alexandra and she has also great
fondness for carnations. Her pet
aversions in the floral world are the
tuberose and gardenia, the strong,
sickly smell of whose blossoms is dis
tasteful to her. s
Lord Salisbury's floral favorite is
not the primrose, but the yellow car
nation. He, however, divides his
affection between this flower and the
rhododendron, and one of the finest
collections of this Towering shrub in
the country is to be found at Hat
field. - .. .,.. V
Mr.. Chamberlain and his orchids
are, of course, household words, but
Sir William Harcourt has gardening
tastes as far removed from those of
the colonial secretary as are his po-
litical views. His weakness is for
anemones and other Alpine plants,
in the culture of which he is unusual
ly interested. n.. -
Although contrary to politics,
Lord Rosebery's flower is the prim-
rose. He shares his favor between
that and the lafrance variety of rose.
These two together gives his lord
ships racing colors---rose and prim-
rose---and are much in evidence
wherever he may happen to be.
If ever one man loved one flower
that man is the dean of Rochester, S.
Reynolds Hole, and his hearts de-
light is the rose. He has grown hum
dreds of different varieties, and writ
ten whole books about them, yet is
always discovering something new.
Miss Ellen Terry is in love with the
violet, but also finds a place in her
heart for the white variety of carna-
ton which was named after her.
The carnation, indeed, seems to have
ousted the rose from pride of place,
for among other celebrities who con-
fess to placing it first floral favorite
are the princess of Wales, the duch-
ess of Fife, Queen Wilhelmina Of
Holland and the queen of Roumania.
The duke of Westminster is faith
full to the rose, and so is Earl Beau
champ. while the same flower was
also the favorite of Mr.. Cecil Rhodes.
Lord Charles Beresford's favorite
flower is unique. In response to a
query on the subject he vouchsafed
a reply in one word-"cauliflower."
