TALK IN FLOWER GROWING.

There is always a pretty story to be
gathered from those who are much asso-
ciated with flowers, either as matter of
cold dollars and cents or for merely the
love they may have for them and their
culture This knowledge frequently causes
one to talk where otherwise they would
be inclined to remain quiet. The very
rank growth to be observed everywhere
prompted an inquiry as to its effect, as
Well as other matters relating to flowers,
lawns, etc. Mr.. Lindsay, the well-known
florist Is never too busy to tell some-
thing about flowers he is so fond of dis
cussing. He talks Interestingly of flow
ers and plants and when asked as to the
effect of the long continued wet spell
on flowers outdoors, he said that no harm
would come to them in the production
of wood, except in low or poorly drained
situations that where an excessive
amount of wood was produced 1t would
somewhat interfere with the quantity or
bloom produced, and the blooms that
came were so easily blighted by the very
heavy downpours-the blossoms would be
bruised and ruined.
We wanted to get some idea of the
principal flowers to be had at this sea-
son, and he said:
1.-THE most usual flowers one looks for
at this season, under ordinary conditions,
are the geranum and nasturtium, the
first of which is much affected by heavy
rains. Then in yellow there Is nothing so
grand as clump of rudbeklda, or golden

MRS. REID WITH STATE FAIR.

Mrs. John B. Reid has again accepted
the position as the superintendent of the
woman's department of the Alabama
State fair, to be held in this city in Oc-
tober. and will be glad to have every
woman in Alabama interested In this
work. The display of the different classes
of woman's work will not only be an at
tractive feature of the fair, but will be
a source of instruction. Alabama is
awakened to the necessity of bringing out
its many resources, and there is no bet
ter medium than an annual State fair.
Mrs Reid also has charge OF the wom-
ans work of the fair to be held in Mont
gomery, and in this way is in touch with
women throughout the state, and hopes
to make both of these departments larger
than ever before,

NEW Works. HIGH RENTS.
Seven-Room Apartment Can Be Had
For $3.50 a Month.

From the New York Press.
Owners of apartment houses in New
York have adopted apparently for all
time the renting plan of sky-touching
Office structures in the commercial and
financial quarters. Inquire of the agent
of scraper, How much rent?" He
may say, Five dollars a foot" He
means So a square foot, SO that an
office 10x15 will cost you $3.50 year.
Until very recently apartments were
rented zen bloc" as we would say In
Paris. So much for this fiat, SO much
for that. But, bless you, while we have
not yet arrived at matter OF square
feet in the hire of domicile, 1t Is put
to us by the up-to-date agent or 1anitor
that we shall pay so much room.
You want a seven-room fiat. Oh, very
WE'LL The price is $40 room each
month, or $3.50 a month for the apart
ment.
Never speak of fashionable resi-
dence in a pigeon box as a Hat.
Nothing over SIS a month Is a Hat.
Up among the elect we say apart
ment" To speak of tenement In
high life is to refer to sort or
morgue in the university settlement,
where wealthy heiresses with nothing
else to do to while away their time
make acquaitances Of poor young men
with an eye to windward and finally
marry them willingly to startle the
world with their sanity emotionalism.
Apartment life is amazingly popular,
particularly among those who like to
shut up shop in the summer and free
as a bird fit to the mountains. To
several thousand people In this city
from $4,000 to $4,000 annual rent for an
apartment is a mere bagatelle. They
get the equivalent.

A STATUE TO MARY CATALAN.

At first a division arose among the
friends of Mary Catalan over the selection
of a sculptor to cut in marble statue Of
heroic size to be set up in a park in this
city as a perpetual memorial to the great
teacher who has gone to her reward. A
citizen of art knowledge in speaking of the
movement said: Some wanted New
York sculptor, but the more the subject
was considered the more clearly 1t was
seen that Moretti, who is now an Ala
bantam. was the best choice that could be
made He is a genus, and he will present
work of art. He has reputation
among such artists as Saint Gaudens and
Valentine and no doubt his services will
be secured by the association of which
Otto Marx is the president"
Mr.. Marx proposes to call meeting OF
the association next week when doubtless
steps will be taken to award the ~>ontraet
and a statue not unlike or inferior to the
one recently erected in Washington to the
memory of Francis f. Willard, will I'M
doubtedly be cut from creamy white Ala
bama marble Placed on a pedestal OF
Alabama granite it will be an enduring
tribute to Birmingham's great teacher,
whose memory will thus be preserved
while the city stands.

THE LINcUIsT's PARADISE
People Who Can Not Speak English
Have Their Own Troubles in
New York.

"a man who cannot speak English
is at a great disadvantage in a city
like New York, especially if he wants
to find his way about the CITY," said
an old street car conductor, relates the
World. HE cannot make himself I'M
derstood and he seems to mistrust the
motives of every one. To argue with
him is absolutely useless. If you start
to he will delay your car and create
a disturbance. The only thing for us
to do is to get rid of him in the easiest
way we can and that is where we dis
play intelligence.
For example, a ~foreigner-a Greek,
I think he was-got on my Madison
avenue car one day and wanted to
transfer at Thi%rty-fourth street. Trans
fers are given by a man who stands
on the street corner there, and | told
the man to get his transfer on the
street. but he couldn't understand what
l meant. He waited until the car had
passed his street and then demanded a
transfer. I couldn't give him one that
would do him any good, and so told
him, but he Immediately got excited.
I saw an argument coming, so
stopped the car and handed him a
transfer. 1t would do him no good,

fed, and left the car. How he made
out afterward | don't know, but |
