In one of the many drying and sorting
houses number of men and boys were
busily employed in packing into large,
roomy boxes some exquisite blooms of tu-
lips and ranunculi and St. Bridgets ape-
mones and other choice blossoms destined
for the then forthcoming Temple show in
London. or the less imposing flower display

1t appears that the peculiar nature of
the soil. sandy and moist and well ma

it pre-eminently suited to EMBARRASSING.
The bulb farm gives great deal Of en-
borhood. especially in autumn, when the
work of lifting goes on-employment

ing industry. by which most of the inhabi-
tants formerly supported themselves, has
dwindled considerably through the compe-
tition of the steam trawlers.

Smoking on Trains.
From the London Chronicle.

Accommodations for smokers in railway
trains. which Is now being discussed, dates
back only to 1885, and on October / It will
be thirty-seyen years since travellers were
first entitled to smoke by ran. The aues-
ton was raised as an amendment to a
beard of trade bill regulating the railway
system and providing. among iother things.
for means Of communication between the
passengers and the guard, and also impos-
veying principals, seconds or spectators to
q prize hight. A clause enjoining smoking
carriages was proposed by Mr.. Sheridan,
Mp. for Dudley. and carried by majority
OF sixteen, after debate In which John
Stuart Mil made his last speech In the
house. earnestly supporting the reform and
recommending, with remorseless logic, that
the last carriage in the train should be
reserved for smokers

Scots Will Not Eat Eel.

From the London Chronicle.
From the north just now large quantities
OF eels are coming to the London market.
where they fetch good price. It is fish
the Scotch do not eat. No matter how
plentiful and how very fine and large they
may be In any district of Scotland, no ma
tive" Will eat one. The objection to the
fish Is said to be based on its serpent-like
. appearance and the fact that 1t is not over
fasti6ious as tocwhat 1t feeds on. Tons OF
choice cells for the London market are taken
from streams that are not conapicuously
free from sewage. Another fish for which
the Scotch have an aversion is the skate:
but this applies to certain districts only.
No Lochfyneside man will eat skate. Yet
by Londoners the eel and the szate are
avoWed two OF the fastest dsh that swim.

TULIP FARMING IN IRELAND.
"Acres and Acres" Comprise Field Of
"Great Strong Giants"
From the London Pail Mall Gazette


1t is not exclusively tulip farm any
more than 1t IS a daffdodil, or narcissus,
or an anemone, or an iris farm, since its
many acres Of gardens and fields are given
up to the culture OF these and every other
kind of bulb; but when I saw It day Of
May the tulips. with their great, deep cups
and gorgeous coloring. seemed to have
blotted out every other lesser blossom.
The little fields lie scattered at the feet
of whitewashed, golden-roofed cottages
dotted here and there about the outskirts
of the quiet seagirt village. almost in the
shadow of the church steeple, and as one
drives along the white. sandy roads one
and pink and purple and white and GRIM
son stretching away on all sides.
Out beyond the little turf-built banks.
which make so effectuai a barrier between
the blossoms and the rough breezas, lie
the sand dunes and the sea, shimmering
and sparkling in the brilliant May sun
shine, Its blue waters rejecting back the
oloudless azure of the skies and throwing
into greater relief the rugged outlines Of
the islands on its bosom, while here and
there tiny white-winged yacht sails fast
before the strong sea wind to some en-
chanted fairyland.
The bulb farm Is struggling and irregu-
lar consisting. as 1t does. of the little fields
and potato gardens of the cottiers. bought
up at different periods. just as he could
get them, by the enterprising cultivator of
bulbs. The green banks of turf and the
privet hedges. close cut and sheltering, are
the same that the dead and gone occupiers
of the snow-white cottages built for them
selves In times gone by, to guard their
more prosaic crops of potatoes, or cabbage,
or lettuce, from the winds of the east and
north.
The soil is sandy, so much SO shat ones
feet sink softly into 1t to the depth Of
many inches as one traverses the narrow
pathways which tntersect that dazzling
array of tulip beds. Field after field Is
stretched before one, acres and acres OF
tulips-and ouch tulips! None OF your slen-
der, dropping, town-bred weaklings. but
great, strong giants. measuring from head
to foot from two and half to three feet,
with deep. greenish cups and sturdy stems
and rich green foliage. full of health and
vigor. They flourish bravely,, naassed to-
gether In the sandy soil, lifting their chal-
icelike cups In the sunshine. or drinking
In the heavy dews of evening.
Here lies great bed OF orange yellow,
the Bouton dor. ons broad sheet OF golden,
delicately fashioned gobletz: beyond them
spreads q rich mass Of eherry-red, then q
sea OF pure white. then one Of lilac. then
pink, then primrose. and 30 on through
every conceivable variety OF shade and
color. One has to see this farm OF acres
and acres of tulips 70 realize its beauty
