A Chinese Auction.

The Celestial always seems to do
things differently from other nations
and lei Perhaps nowhere is this
more apparent than at an auction sale
in China. To a stranger it is a most
curious spectacle. 1t is a quiet, SOL
emn proceeding, perfect silence being
preserved the whole time. In this
particular it is unlike the noise and
confusion that usually reigns on like
occasions in this part Of the world.
The auctioneer leans over a slightly
elevated counter and exhibits his
wares. He says nothing, either does
the bidder, who merely steps forward
to the auctioneer and runs his fingers
up his sleeve. making pressures on
the salesman's arm, indicating in this
manner how much he is willing to pay
for the article. Then another and
another repeat the action until the
one signifying the highest price re
ceives the article without a word be-
ing exchanged on either side. Only
the a%uctioneer and the successful bid.
der know the price offered and accept
ed. The opportunity for favoritism
in this method is apparent, and doubt,
less Is often acted upon.

There is also, 1t appears, a great de-
mand for English teachers in foreign
towns. Many American officials, espe-
cialiy in the consular service, employ
American college girls as g~overnesses
in their families while living abroad,
and many calls come, often at a mo-
ment's notice, from foreigners who
wish to be instructed in the tongue
that is now SO necessary In all corners
of the earth. One morning in Venice
an American girl was called into the
hotel salon by a card with a crest, and
met a charming who, mistak-
ing her name for that of another, had
come to see if she would give CONVEX
sation lessons, which she and her hus-
band desired for their own pleasure"
To the American the mistake not only
proved profitable but afforded her a d.
lightful glimpse into the life of the
Italian nobility.

ONE or LONDON,s NEW MOTOR CABS.

A nw type of cab propelled by a gasoline motor is being introduced into
London % take the place of the Hanson cab so lmg in vogue. This new
type If vehicle. as nay De seer from the accompanying illustration, consists
o f a cab with accommodation for W passengers and a seat n front for the
driver
The cab itself is similar in design to the hanson at present in ue, only
it is much large II more roomy. 1t is provided with a glass front fitted
stanty IS desired. The drivers sat is sufficiently large to seat the driver
only, so that the passengers within the cab can obtain practically q unn-
terrupted front view. The cab is sung upon four wheels, which renders it
far safer and more immune from the dangerous accidents to which the two
wheeler is so subject Three speeds d reverse are provided, the maximum
speed being 25 niles a hour
These cabs ire o ply for hire lin the same manner as the present horse
drawn hansoms. The sam fare If two miles for 20 cents will be charged.
Seventy-fve Of these cabs are to b installed Immediately, and they will be
run by ordinary hanson cab drivers, who are being taught the manage
ment Of the vehicles, in preference to employing automobile chaufeurs. The
lew cabs will not only be safer than the existing hansoms. but will be more
speedy and comfortable. and the cost of upkeep, ven after allowing for de-
probation, will not be 10 expensive al the horse vehiles-MontrealS Star.

Doyn ON the quiet ground,
When l hear the g~rass-bugs chirp at my
feet
And the end of d distant sound.
1 love the world when the wine blows,
When it losses my hair about.
When my hat blows off, and my ribbons
crack,
And 1 laugh and run and shout.
1 love the world when the rain falls,
When the streets are all mud and ooze.
When l need my umbrella and mackin-

And my shiny, new orershoes.
1 love all of the days of the beautiful
world,
Every day, every hour and minute,
l could go OH living forever and never
Grow weary of anything in it.

KEEPING FLOWERS FRESH.
When Properly Washed and Fed the
Blossoms May Last a Month.

Blossoms May Last a Month.
"Cut flowers, when properly treat
ed,'' said a Sixth avenue florist, can
be made to look fresh for three or four
weeks.
Every night take them out of the
vases and thoroughly rinse the stalks
under a faucet, removing with the fin
gers any decomposed matter. hen
put them to bed for the night in a
basin of strong soapsuds, but be care
full not to allow any water to u the
blossoms. The soapsuds supply a GER
tain amount of nourishment. In the
morning rinse the stalks under the
water again, and, as each blossom is
arranged for the day in the vase of
fresh water, snip off a tiny portion of
the stalk with a pair of scissors. AL
ways carefully trim away any faded
part.
Food for the day is supplied by sui
phate of ammonia, a few drops of
which should be added to the water
put into the vase. AT night put the
flowers into some dark, cool place
say a pantry-as 1t Is not good either
for the flowers or the household that
they should remain all the time in the
living-rooms.
ITO revive cut flowers, put them into
warm salt water, to which has been
added a few drops of sulphate of am
monia.
Cut flowers are constantly Sent by
express and through the mails, but sell
dom in such a fashion as to preserve
their bloom and freshness. To effect
this. pack them in a light wooden box
lined with cotton or wadding. laying
over this a sheet Of tissue paper. Then
lay the flowers, not on top of each 9TH
er, but in rows, side by side. the BIOS
SONS of each row on the stems of their
neighbors. Pack closely, otherwise the
flowers will be displaced and injured
in the journey. Before packing they
should stand in water for several
hours in order to absorb moisture
enough to keep them from whitening.
1t is not good to sprinkle them too
hea Willy after they are in the box, for
without air this is likely to produce
mildew."

plan. said he thought 1t was more in
line with the nature OF the child than
The topical plan. Judging from his own
experience and the opinions OF teacli-
ers upon the subject. lie Is of tho
opinion that the spiral plan may be
extended to all studies as well as to
arithmetic. lie contends that II ls
hard to get u child TO retain interest
In any part OF arithmetic under the
topical plan. and claims that the spiral
plan gives them rest by changing
from one subdivision to another.
