VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER.
Specimens in Existence, Accord ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as a national institution many years ago, the adoption coming about mere ly by way of a popular choice. It is a common flower all over Europe, but rather more prolific in Germany than in any other of the countries graced by it.
 less than $50 varieties of the corn flower to be found, but the plant that is found in profusion in the realms of the kaiser is said to be the most beautiful of all. The Germans admire it for the richness of its wreath-like circle of outer fiorets and the splen- dors of its deep azure tints as it opens to the sun.
 At one time German scientists at tributed certain medicinal properties to the corn flower, and its blue blos- hons were used also to some extent in domestic dyeing, but latterly these properties are not so much credited to it.
 Although Germany lays claim to the finest of the species, America may boast also of some beautiful speci- mems of the corn flower. It is said to have been brought to this country first in the ballast of ships in the days antedating the modern ocean flyer, which carries only water bal last. In this country 1t is variously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thin. bles. Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

A FALSE PREDICTION

A[me Cleo, prima-donna so- prano of the Rush opera company, sat before the long table in her dressing room making up" for the evening performance.
 A dash of rouge, a dab of powder, myriad beads of blue cosmetic along the slender edge of her blond eye lashes, and she was transformed from a plain, middle-aged woman into a radiant vision of youthful beauty. Suddenly a shriek, sound- ing from the stage, startled her.
 Scream after scream went up from the chorus of fairies gathered for the opening tableau. Madam's first thought was of fire; catching up her chamois bag of jewels, she made dash for safety, but the scene which her open door disclosed treasured her.
 It was no fire. It was only an ac- cident to one of the chorus girls. h. differently she would have turned back to her preparations, but she spied the manager, Lynn Rush, striding through the excited crowd.
 "What is it ?" she called to him.
 Rigging broke; one of the girls killed, l suppose" he answered, shortly.
 'Her own fault, probably" she flung back. ''The 'frefly girls are too careless. Don't let it annoy you ; come in moment, Lynn"
 He paid no attention to the honeyed invitation; he had long ago sounded the depths of Mime. Cleo'a

"nistaken ?" Mme. Cleo's voice had a ring of mockery. "Listen, let me make a confdant of you, for your own sake, deluded girl. This whole season he has deluded me with bouquets, jewels, attentions. He loves me, in a thousand ways he has shown it-"
 "But you have a husband" cried Amy, aghast.
 "Ha, hap laughed Cleo. "Hear the little innocent That is what you will never have if you continue to accept Lynn Rush's favors."
 A step on the threshold.
 q beg your pardon" interposed Mfr. Rush, entering. "Your predic- ton is fated not to come true, madam. I offer Miss Ames a hus- band here and now. She not only possesses my admiration, but my re- spect and love-"
 He drew Amy away, leaving madam undecided whether to resort to mysteries or to faint.
 In Amy's dressing room the man. ager of the company slipped an arm around her.
 "You have not said if you will ac- cept the husband 1 offer, sweet heart"

BLOSSOMS THAT DO NOT MIX
Florist Tells of Few Things He Has Learned In His Business of
 Handling Flowers.

The florist drowned as he took up an order for a table decoration. That will never do," he muttered. After calling up the customer and suggest Ing change, he told his new clerk a few things.
 You must never take an order that calls for mixture of mignonette and roses" he said. "A centerpiece of those two flowers wouldn't last half through the luncheon They simply wilt one another. I don't know why, but they cant get along together.
 Tt Is true of many flowers. Pansies. for instance, last twice as long as If they are not combined with any other flower, and the same may be said of violets. Jonquils and daffodils, on the other hand, seem to get new lease of life if you combine considerable green with them. Carnations will go all to pieces if you combine them with roses, although the roses do not seem to be affected.
 ''It is more striking in combinations of green with flowers. If you try to use an entirely different type of foliage from what the flower is used to, 1t won't last so long So I never put feathery foliage with lilies of the valley, for you know its natural foli. age is thick leaf. I never use thick leaves with carnations, for their foli- age is of the feathery type. It isn't as | though the flowers fought. but they seem to grieve at being misunder- stood"

 He told her.
 "Oh, but I must not go home" she exclaimed in distress. My nother--it would frighten her; and l cannot lose nights salary! Please take me back"
 "You are not fit to work. Be- sides," he added, kindly, "you shall not lose nights salary"
 "Are you MT. Rush? I thought l knew your voice"
 So, she had known his voice, and he, self-centered cad, had not known of her existence.
 It was a long ride to Melton court, but Lynn Rush felt that it was too short. He ought to be in the front of the house" at that mo- ment, still it was with reluctance that hn left her in the care of her blind old mother, after being as- , sured that no fracture had been sus- tained.
 Never again was Amy permitted to be drawn up into midair as a ''frefy;" Lynn Rush looked after her so closely that Mime. Cleo be- came alarmed fearing the waning of her own influence.
 A month passed; Amy had been given a small part and sang it so we'll it was suggested by Rush that she take the understudy for the prima donna
 When Cleo heard of this she sent for Miss Ames, all the arrogance of her nature flashing from her eyes.
 "Ah, my dear," the tone was sweetness as of distilled nectar. "So you are to be my understudy? I congratulate you; but, really, do you realize the danger to your reputation if you continue to permit our man. ager to show you such marked favors? You are surely not so stupid as to imagine you are capable of singing my part. Be careful, my dear, be careful. You are young and pretty"

 ''Here," he called to some of the men, 'help me to carry her into Cleo's room."
 They lifted her gently and bore her to madam's door. The star dressing room was on the stage, only few feet away, but madam was in no mood to play the role of nurse to mere chorus girl. She raised her voice in loud objections, until Rush, disgusted, bade the men bring carriage at once.
 ''Does anyone know who this young woman is?" he asked.
 Several of the girls told him.
 "Amy Ames; she lives at 19 Well ton court, with her blind mother" And some one added
 'She is her mothers only SUD- port. What pity if she is killed"
