ETHER AND chloroform. so useful in sending
men to sleep, have the very opposite effect on
plants. which are stimulated to the greatest
possible activity by these drugs. In Denmark
and Germany advantage has beentaken this
fact to force flowers in rooms and elasshouses
and to make them bloom out of season. The
results are said to be marvellous.
THE Cars income is 81, 500, 900 year, and
the revenue of forty members of the imperial
family is correspondingly enormous. A Little
Father has big views on pocket money.
ON THEIR New Years day the Chinese settle
all bills and forgive their enemies. That beats
the resolution habit.
