ton. over which the buying world went mad, is now run out. Formerly they lasted longer. Take the old original standby. the Portia carnation. We grew that earaation here for about thirty years. Portia is gone now. but there'n never De another like her.
 We have good commercial varieties now. but none that will last long. Some of our fancy specials, very high priced. have lately gone to pieces before they were thoroughly established.
 T know one seeding with a famous reputation, and one of the largest white carnations ever grown, which was brought out by it's originator about two years ago. It lasted just one year when it began to develop double cen- ters and burst it's calyx. It had been forced beyond all measure of it's strength to supply the demand while the fad was on, and the flower couldn't stand it.
 President McKinley's fondness for the flower gave the market a tremen- dous boom. The consequence was that everybody in the flower business went into carnations as a speciality. The price went down, but there was still money in it.
 "Then this mysterious disease ap- peared. My own theory is that the car nation has been so weakened in consti- tuition by overforcing as to be unable to withstand the disease germ, which be- lieve is in the plant itself from the be- ginning and only develops after a few years when the plant is run down and in poor health.
 Tt costs one hundred per cent. more in time, labor and bench space to grow carnations now than few years back. We have few varieties now that will produce more than a single flower to a stem, whereas we formerly got from eight to twelve flowers.
 This makes more bench room neces1 sary and we get no more flowers from a dozen houses now than we used to get from one. All this extra, work in attending to soil conditions is expen- sive, too, and the price rises correspon. dingly,
 Tt takes longer for these conditions to have any effect on the retail price, for retailers have a way of keeping the prices up pretty we'll under all circum. stances. However, hear that the price is even higher than last season, which was the high water mark for carnations. "Oh, perhaps carnations may not become entirely extinct, but they are apt to be a luxury presently
 Prices at the retail flower stores for carnations to-day are from seventy five cents to two dollars a dozen, New York Sun.

SARGENT RELIEF BILL.

Leader Payne Makes Objection, and
 Measure May Fail to Pass.
 Washington, Dec. 20.-The bill to re- inlburse Joseph B. Sargent, ex-mayor Of New Haven, which passed the house in committee of the whole last Friday, was not called up Monday afternoon when the other bills that passed Friday were called up. The reason for this was because Leader Payne made objec- tion to calling it up with the others, and he insisted on his objection again. The result will be that the bill cannot be called up until the next claims day. The speaker ruled that the bill would be placed at the head of all the claims bills.
 The question now is, however, if there will be another day set aside for claims, and even if the bill comes to vote, it is very doubtful if 1t will pass. The leaders of the house are very deter mined in their opposition tc the bill, and If 1t fails this time, it is done for all time.
