Cinneraria, with their lovely colors
and texture of petals, are favorite
ported blooms, and primroses vie with
cyclamen for favor. Some dealers are
now forcing lilacs for Christmas offer
ings, but they have not yet appeared
in any quantities. Roses, 1t is need
less to mention, are well liked, but
the Christmas prices are pretty stiff.

There is French proverb, "Tobac-

true than the average. Man is the
only being thatsmokes. Monkeys have
initiated man in all other ways, even
acquiring fondness for liquors but
they never could be taught smoking.
Smoking is a distinctly masculine
pleasure, and when man has a good
cigar like the Wadsworth Bros. Chi

ready for any trouble. P. A. Glenn

thing like 200 tons. It is feared this
decoration may in the course of
few years become very scarce, it be-
ing necessary to pull the plant up by
the roots in gathering the greens. The
gay holly, more popular than the
ground-pine, comes, at least the best
of 1t, from the two states of Della
ware and Maryland. There is some
importation of English holly and
mistletoe, but not great deal.
People in Atlanta, Ca, do not have
to buy their mistletoe, the city au-
thorities are glad to give 1t away in
wagon. loads. It is a parasite that
disfigures the trees on which it
grows, appearing in punches from one,
to three feet across. When de-
tached from the shade trees in At
lanta, anyone that cares for it may.
come and cart it away.
Because of its magic, rather than
decorative qualities-though the grace.
full waxen clusters have a certain
beauty of their own--it is not bought
in large quantities. Nevertheless, we
are said to use about 10000 pounds Of
1t at Christmas time. And when we
call to mind all the magic that can
be worked by single sprig, think of
the conjuring done by 10000 pounds!
Anyone caught under the mistletoe
must pay forfeit of a kiss. And if
an unmarried (but still marriageable)
woman, place bit Of mistletoe over
a door, the first man walking under
it at once falls under her spell. If
she disapprove Of him, she may let
him go, but he Is unable to make
freedom for himself.
The use Of flowers adds to the
beauty of the Christmas decorations,
but never should we let go Of the
Christmas green's; they carry the ira
ditions, bring up old memories, as no
costly orchid OF rose is able. A flow
er that displays with wondrous vivid
ness the happy Christmas green and
red, is the tropic blossom called by
the name Of poinsetta. 1t has a
center of yellowish dots, radiating
from which, in most graceful droop-
ing lines. are gorgeous pointed leaves,
more flaming than any leaf our au-
tumn puts forth. The green leaves
of the plant are vivid and polished,
the whole very, very beautiful. Tho
florists at the Christmas season sell
both potted poinsetta and cut flowers,
neither lasting many days, but most
satisfying while they last.

hardly 80 years since we adopted this
feature of the day. Half a century
ago it was only foreigners that made
use of it, children of Americana

And England in the second quarter
of the last century considered the

not yet fully belonging to her; to-day
the English-speaking nations vie with
the Germans in love for the tree.
1t is illustrative of the manner in
which big things grow from the
smallest of beginnings, the building
UP of the Christmas tree industry in
America. Country Life in America
tells the story of it's birth: "About 80
years ago number Of duck hunters
cruising along the coasts of Maine
noticed the millions of young balsam

the brilliant idea occurred to one

success. and others hurried into the
business, Ten years later nearly the
whole coast Of Maine was stripped

land. The trade has grown until now

OF Maine to the mistletoe haunts OF
California, from the creeping ground

Once the housewife was concerned

with its greenest of green and red

select many branches; the mistletoe
we get in smaller quantities, but pay
much attention to quality, want little
twigs thick with waxen berries. Then
the house would not be compete, ac-
cording to present notions, unless
there were some of the wonderful
Christmas blossoms; and we buy both

DREDGING SNAKE RIVER.
Work to Begin as Soon as Low Water
Period Comes.

"As soon as we get some low water
the dredge Wallowa will be put to
work along the Snake river" said ID.
b. Ogden, United States assistant en-
gineer, who is in charge of the work
along the upper Columbia and Snake
rivers to Lewiston paper.
I'VE have an appropriation of $25,.
600 for work between Pittsburg Land
ing and Riparia. The first work to
be done will probably be between
Lewiston and the mouth of the Grand
Ronde river, and we expect to be able
to make some valuable improvements
in the channel. 1t will take several
appropriations to get money enough
TO put the upper Snake in first-class
shape as far as Imnaha. This work
is rather expensive as we can only
work during the very low water. and
then it is difficult to get the dredge
up the river. We would have to take
the dredge up during high water and
leave it there till low water comes.
This would delay work along the low
er river.
I'VE shall have an appropriation
for surveying the river from Riparia
to Cello and work will commence on
this in a month or six weeks. The
amount we shall have to expend has
not been determined upon yet"
