THE FLOWER INDUSTRY.
Has Had Rapid Growth in the United
States in the Last Thirty
Years.

Our country is muSh behind Eng
land in orchard houses, wineries, pine
ries and so on. This is the case for
two reasons-first, the extent of our
territory, and, second, advance in this
direction being unnecessary because of
our rapid transit. But in the growing
of roses, violets, carnations and GER
tain vegetables we are ahead of any
other country in the world.
This industry has made rapid strides
during the last 80 years, due to the in
crease in wealth and population and
the demand for greater variety Of
fruits and vegetables. AS the demand
increased specialization became neceS-
sary, and horticulturists no longer ex-
ist who grow various kinds of plants
in large quantities. They are divided
into three classes, the growing of cut
flowers, ornamental plants and vege-
tables.
Roses, carnations and violets have
seen the greatest advance in flower
culture The annual sale in this coun-
try is from $6,000,U00 to $7000,000
worth of cut roses, which represents
from 1OO,O00,0O0 to 125 100000 flowers.
The industry has been most developed
in the neighborhood of our largest
cities.
The carnation comes next in i'm
portance, and the most successful
greenhouses are in the vicinity of New
York and Chicago. There are annual
ly produced and sold in this country
from $4,00O,000 to $4,500,000 worth Of
carnations, or from 100,000,000 to 1885,
100000 blooms.
Before this impetus to flower Gull
ture came violets were raised almost
entirely under outdoor frames of
cheap construction, but as the demand
increased these became impracticable
and were supplanted by cheap green
houses. There are about 100000 square
feet of glass devoted to the culture of
this flower in the vicinity of Pough-
keepsie and Rninebeck alone.
The value of the crop of vegetables
is much less than that of flowers, but
still there are 100000 square feet of
glass devoted t. this industry. Under
favorable conditions this will bring
to the owner an average of so ceots
per square foot.

Probably you have heard of the
great feud between Hapley, the an
tomologist, and Prof. Pawkins.
1t began years and years ago, with a
revision of the microlepidoptera
Cwhatever these may be- by Pawkins,
in which he extinguished a new spe-
cies created by Hapley. tHapley, who
was always quarrelsome, replied by
singing impeachment OF the entire
classification of Pawkins.
1t was a long struggle, vicious from
the beginning, and growing at last TO
pitiless antagonism.
In 1891 Pawkins, whose health had
been bad for some time, published
some work upon the "mesoblast" OF
the Deaths Head Moth. But the work
was far below his usual standard, and
gave Hapley an opening he had COW
eted for years.
In an elaborate critique he rent
Pawkins to tatters, and Pawkins made
reply, hating, Intellectual, with pain
full gaps Of silence, and yet malignant.
There was no mistaking his will TO
wound Hapley, nor his incapacity to
do It. But few of those who heard
him realized how i'll the man was.
HapIey had got his opponent down,
and meant to finish him. He followed
with simply brutal attack upon
Pawkins, in the form of paper upon
the development of moths in general.
The rejoinder of Pawkins was to catch
the infiusnza, to proceed to pneumo-
MIA ana 10 die.
In hf1 private thoughts Hapley
could noc Forgive Pawkins for dying.
1t left lfapleys mind with queer
gap in it. For 20 years he had worked
hard, sometimes far into the night,
and seven days a week, with micro
scope, scalpel, collecting-net and pen,
and almost entirely with reference to
Pawkins It had killed Pawkins; but
It had also thrown Hapleyl out of gear,
so to speak, and his doctor advised
him to give up work for a time and
rest So Hapley went down into a
quiet village in Kent, and thought
day and night of Pawllins, and of
good things it was now impossible to
say about him.
At last Hapley began to realize in
what direction the preoccupation
tended. He determined to make a
fight for it, and started by trying to
read novels. But he could not get
his mind off Pawkins, white in the
face. and making his last speech.
It was on the third day afterwards
that Hapley became aware of novel
addition to the local fauna. He was
working late at the microscope, and
the only light in the room was the
brilliant little lamp with the special
form of green shade
One eye was over the instrument.
With the other eye Hapley saw, as it
were without seeing.
Suddenly his attention drifted from

THE COMPANY SCATTERED.
INGENIOUS Ruse of Western Despera-
does in job Put UP on
Gamblers.

A prominent attorney OF Baltimore
told the following story to one OF his
colleagues recently, says the sun, or
the time when he was in the west,
when the gold fever was at its height:
"One of the largest gambling houses
in San Francisco was in full swing,
when in walked two men, one OF whom
carried a large powder horn. Ihey
ambled up to the bar, and the man
with the powder horn threw IL on the
counter and SAID in loud voice: /
am tired of it all, and shall end it here,
but | may as we'll take my friends
along with me- He then dumped out
on the counter a quantity OF what
looked to be powder. His companion
took from his pocket some OF the same
stuff and threw it into the fire, where
upon black smoke pulled out from tAe
stove BY that time the gamblers
looked around and were Mortified to
see the other one seize the horn and
throw the contents into the stove.
The whole company, thinking there
would be a horrible explosion, jumped
TO their feet and scattered. With
joyous laugh the two men ran over to
the tables and scooped in all the money
in sight--a goodly pile-jumped on
their horses and galloped away.
ITO say that the players were in
censed when they returned would be
putting it mildly 1t turned out upon
investigation that it was only black
sand that the two desperate men
threw on the counter"
The lawyer asked why, when one OF
these men threw some of the stuff in
the stove, it created a volume Of
smoke The other thought he must
have had some real powder in his
pocket.
Now the second attorney is wonder
ing If the friend who told the story
was one of those who ran out of the
place. OF course, he could not have
been one of the desperadoes, so how
did he know?

CHINESE AND 8ARBARiANS.
Ignorance of Foreign Races and Con-
ditions Is Widespread
in China.

Says writer in the Peking and
Tientsin Times: Chinese ignorance
is one of the hardest things for the
foreigner who is not Chinese student
to comprehend. Those who lay them
selves out to study the people and
their language are not long, no doubt,
in discovering the solidity of the brick
wall which Chinese absence of knowl-
edge represents The ordinary resi-
dent or casual visitor who only comes
in contact perhaps with the English
speaking official or intelligent, we'll
paid clerk and confidential servant,
cannot realize the absolute inability
of the Chinese people en- masse to. dis
tinguish between nationalities, or to
grasp what other nations really are.
Japan they know, and Russia they
know, for both lie within sight and
hearing, so to speak; but the Straits
Settlements and beyond are the
islands of the southern sea- and Eu-
ropean countries and people merely the
barbarian tribes which rebel. Of
course this ignorance is daily dimin-
ishing, thanks both to the missionary
and government schools, but it is still
sufficiently broadcast-and likely to re-
main SO for many years-to render in
fiammable movements at all times
probable.
''The name of America has become
very familiar through the boycott
propaganda, but no idea exists as to
what or where America is. neither is
any clear distinction made between
America and South Africa, and only
the other day we heard that by the
people generally the boycott placards
were understood as signifying that
some foreign country had ill-treated
the Chinese"

one eye to the other. The table-clOth
was of the material called tapestry
by shopmen and rather brightly col
ored. The pattern was in gold, with
a small amount of crimson and pale
blue upon grayish ground. At one
point the pattern seemed displaced,
and there was vibrating movement
of the colors at this point.
Hapley suddenly moved his head
back and looked with both eyes. His
mouth fell open with establishment
1t was a large moth. or butterfly,
its wings spread in butterfly fashion!
1t was strange it should be in the
room at all, for the windows were
closed Strange that it should not
have attracted his attention when
fiuttering TO it's present position.
Strange that it should match the table
cloth. Stranger far that to him, Hap.
ley, the great entomologist, it was al,
together unknown. There was. no de-
fusion. 1t was crawling slowly toward
the foot of the lamp.
Looking around him for some
means of capturing the moth, he rose
slowly out of his chair Suddenly the
insect rose, struck the edge of the
ampshade-Hapley heard the ping
and vanished into the shadow.
In a moment Hapley had whipped
off the shade, so that the whole room
was illuminated. The thing had dis
appeared, but soon his practiced eve
detected 1t upon the wallpaper near
the door He went toward it, posing
the lampshade for capture. Before he
was within striking distance. however.
it had risen and was fiuttering round
the room.
The third time he overturned the
lamp, which very luckily, went out.
HapIey was left in the dark. With
a start he felt the strange moth blum.
der into his face.
1t was maddening. He had no
lights. If he opened the door of the
room the thing would get away In
tine darkness he saw Pawkins quite
distinctly, laughing at him. Pawkins
had ever an oily laugh. He swore
furiously and stamped his foot on the
floor
Hapley very suddenly decided to
give up the moth and go to bed. But
he Was excited
Then he found the moth crawling

Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, were
discussing the weather in their re-
spectiye countries The Englishman
said that English weather had one
great faults sudden changes.
"A person may take a walk one
day" he said, "attired in light
summer suit, and still feel quite
warm. Next day he needs an over
coat"
That's nothing" said the Ameri-
can. my two friends, Johnson and
Jones, were once having an argu-
ment. There we're eight or nine
inches of snow on the ground. The
argument got heated, and Johnson
picked up a SNOWFALL and threw it at
Jones from distance Of not more
than five yards. During the transit
of that SNOWFALL, believe me or not,
as you like, the weather changed and
became hot and summerlike, and
Jones, instead of being hit with
SNOWFALL, was-er-scalded with hot
water!"

PRUNING APPLE TREES.
some Suggestions as to How It
Should Be Done by One
Who Knows.

The trunk and branches OF trees
and other plants form a sort of frame
work whereby the leaves-the lungs
Of the plants-are exposed to the
sunshine and air, and upon which
the fruit is borne. To secure the best
results, each tree of given size
should have certain amount of leaf
surface, but no two trees of the same
size have exactly the same form and
number of leaves. Some are so thick
that the sun cannot reach the fruit,
while the leaves are so numerous as
to shade and smother one another;
others have but a few struggling
branches, and are misshapen or
poorly balanced.
The object of pruning is to aid ma
ture in securing an ideal form for the
trees. In many cases the pruning is
neglected while the trees are young,

To whatever degree the high school

work to be compared and criticised
and the best of the pictures to serve
as examples for the rest Of the
class. Many suggestions have been
made for the cultivation of observa-
ton, imagination, and these should
be interspersed from time to time to
give variety and interest.
The teacher will find that SO many
temperaments exist in large class
that the subjects must be varied to
give each a chance.
The realistic temperament may
succeed where the poetic will fail.

should warrant If it has left un-

ally arise in the case of the pupil who
never could learn to draw well by any

do the most with his limited ability.

This series Of articles is supposed
to have covered the training of the
pupil from the first school grade
through his high school years. 1t has
been devised to give the pupil with no
particular talent for drawing an ex-

least demand upon such talent and
to give the pupil with talent an out

from the evils of imperfect training
which of necessity lie in the condi-

But if this trial of the talent is to be

followed the suggestion through the
