Romance Of a Sweet Pea.

The parent Of nearly al. the mos.
beautiful varieties Of tn American
sweet pea is the Blanche Fnrry, which
has pretty romance connect ed with
its discovery.
Some fifty years ago, the comely
daughter Of well-to-do farmer ran
away from home to marry a young
quarryman, and her hon thereafter
was always in a cottage, often but q
mere hut, on the very thin soil over
lying the limestone lodges where her
husband worked. When her baby died
she went back to her fathers farm to
bury it, and took with her on return
ing to her cottage some seed of q
white sweet pea and seed of the old
Painted Lady pink.
Thereafter, however great her pov-
erty, she never failed to grow near
her cottage home some of these sweet
peas, as reminder of her happy
girlhood and her dead baby. They
were always grown on thin, poor soil,
often so thin that they could only be
kept alive by constant attention and
watering. AS result Of such envi-
ronment for many plant generations
the flowers acquired a dwarf growth
and great abundance Of bright col
ors.
Some twenty-five years after the
baby died scotsman. passing the lit
tie home Of the mother, noticed the
beauty of the sweet peas and obtained
teaspoonful of the seed This he
multiplied into thousands of pounds,
and sold as the seed of the Blanche
Ferry variety, which is now famous
throughout the world for its beauty
and the many beautiful varieties it
has roduced.-Washingt Star.

DAIRY FRAUDS IN ENGLAND.
Pure Butter Said to be Difficult to
Find in London.

Find in London.
The British government has recent
ly issued as a parliamentary paper .
report Of the select committee appoint
ed to consider the conduct and con-
troll Of the trade in butter and but
ter substitutes. The report was ar
gued upon unanimously, and makes
suggestions TO be embodied in legis-
lation
The London Times asserts that
genuine dairy butter is q thing past
praying for. Four-fifths of the popula-
ton of London, THE Times asserts.
have never seen it in their lives.
Those who know what 1t is have
great difficulty in procuring it and
any price. What is called genuine
butter in London, The Times" says, Is
blended and reworked butter. Its
tough, tenacious texture is as different
as possible from that of real dairy
butter and it is destitute of the sub
tie aroma of the genuine unworked
butter. '"The Times" says that both
the imported butter and that made at
home are generally blended butter.
The parliamentary committee proposes
that butter factories shat! be regis
tered, the registration to be renew
able annually, and th4t inspectors
shall be empowered to enter all such
premises when they suspect that but
ter is reworked, blended or adulter-
ated butter must not be stored
on such premises. With adequate PEN
alties proportioned, as the commit
tee proposes. to the magnitude CT tho
output, some real check would be
placed upon adulteration. Imported
butter is to be met with not less
stringent conditions.
1t was shown before the committee
by firm that was prosecuted for the
sale Of adulterated Danish butter that
it got off with nominal penalty up
on showing that it had ordered what
is known as control butter" This
butter is guaranteed by the Danish
government. The committee proposes
that the importer shall be held re-
sponsible for the genuineness of the
butter he sells, without any regard
for anybody else's warranty. No diff
ficulty is put in the way of those
who manufacture and sell limitations
of butter openly and honestly. Those
who want margarine will be free to
buy it as such. But people who want
butter are expected to get butter, and
not mysterious mixtures. 1t is thought
probable that the British government
will take favorable action on the re-
port.-From Government Consular Re-
ports.
