SMALL FORTUNES IN FLOWERS
valuable Orchids at the Temple

With footman by his side. a quiet
ly dressed, elderly little man stood
scanning eagerly an insignificant little
cluster of purplish petals IN the amaz-
ing bank OF orchids at the Temple
flower show-a bank which is worth
Sf5O'OOO and is guarded night and day
by detectives with as much care and
anxiety as the bank in Threadneedle
street, says the London Mail.

man. do you want for this odonto-
glossum7"
Three thousand dollars" replied
the attendant. 4 closer. keener in
specuon of the modest little tuft of

the owner his card.
It was estimated that since the Omen
ing OF the show something like $3.50
600 worth Of orchids have been dis
posed of on the spot.
One specimen exhibited by Messrs
Hugh Low & Co. is something of a lit
tie comedian in its way. 1t is called
Bulbophyllum Barbigerum, and It
trembles at the approach of man. This
orchid is purchasable for s35.

Police Methods In India.

A Jewel was lost by rich Komati.
1t was found in the possession Of a
Mohammedan. Two policemen OF the
station seized 1t from him and pledged
1t and obtained loan from local
merchant. Then another policeman
was asked to search the house of the
merchant, and before the search was
effected the merchant gave it to him
with present as a bribe not to haul
him up before the court. Between the
three policemen a sum of about &C
rupees was looted from one or the
other OF the dishonest and avaricious
merchants. Then arose a split among
these policemen and their comrades
about the division. of the spoils. and
they are now blinking as to what
course to adopt and whom to charge
and what offense to charge with. The
people are losing all confidence in
these men.-Mysore Standard.

RECORDED THE TRUTH ALWAYS.
Wordsworth's Poetry Set Against His
Failure as Correspondent.

Wordsworth. except by virtue of one
quality, was not remarkable as a let
ter writer. His happiest moods were
those frances of thought and mount
ings OF the mind" which came to him
when wandering among the hills or
seated upon some old, gray stone. The
act OF penmanship was always a dis
tress to him; in his elder years he was
troubled with Inflammation of the
eyes, and he often dictated his letters.
He could chain his mind to record
facts. but to do so implied a state Of
servitude. He cared little for the let
ters of great writer's. and expressed
a wish that his own might de de-
stroyed. He had no pleasant malice
eager to escape from the tip OF the
pen. such as Horace Walpole had. He
had no bubbling mirth which will not
be repressed like that OF Lamb. He
could not engrave an exquisite vignette
for a friends delight and his own. like
Cowper. His pen was not en- etcher's
needle, nor a dagger to stab, nor a
sword to cut. nor a hobby horse on
which to canter. But to set over
against all this Wordsworth could
write the truth, and the truth he in
variably wrote.

ROMANCE MORE an THEIR LINE.
Factory Workers Criticism Of Louisa

In conversation about books which
the author OF THE Long Day" had
with two OF her workmates at a box
factory. she spoke enthusiastically
OF Little Women" and told them how
she had read It four times, and that
She meant to read 1t again some day.
Little Women" was unknown to
them. but their curiosity was reused
over the unheard-of thing of any
body ever wanting to read a
book more than once, and they
pressed her to repeat the story for
them. This she did with great accu-
racy OF statement, and with genuine
pleasure to herself at being given an
opportunity to introduce anybody to
Meg and 10 and all the rest Of that
delightful March family.
When she finished, Phoebe stopped
work and Mrs. Smith looked up from
her label-pasting. saying: why, that's
no story at ALL"
why. no." echoed Phoebe. that's
no story-that's Just everyday hap

putting things like that In books. I'll
