LAUNDRY LICENSE

The question. of the constitutional
ity of the license law in relation 70
laundries is going up to the Supreme
Court. Judge De Bolt has reserved to
the supreme Court the question of law
as to the demurrer which Sing High

sworn to by Fred TurTill, collector of
license fees in the office of the Citv
and County Treasurer, for conducting
laundry without a license.

A FALSE PREDICTION

Mime. 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, dab of powder, myriad beads of blue cosmetic along the slender edge of her blond eve 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 a dash for safety, but the scene which her open door disclosed treasured her.
 It was no fire. It was only an &C., 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, suppose" he answered, shortly.
 "Her own fault, probably" she flung back. '0The 'firehy 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

VARIETIES OF CORN FLOWER
Three Hundred and Fifty Different Specimens in Existence, Accord
 ing to Botanists.

Germany adopted the corn flower as 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.
 Botanists tell us that there are no 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 1t 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- homs 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 it is variously known as the Bachelors Button, Corn Bottle, Witches Bellies or Thim. bles, Blue Bonnet, and Blue Poppy.

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 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 can't 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.
 Tt 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"

breathing. To all appearances the girl was lifeless; it had been a cruel fall from the flies.
 '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 a few feet away, but madam was in no mood to play the role of nurse to a 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 onl y sup port. What pity if she is killed"
 Lynn Rush, man of the world. theatrical manager, and as selfish as such life is inclined to make one. felt something like pity stir his heart. She was pretty little crea- ture lying there, white and helpless. against his breast The carriage had come; without reasoning why. he stepped in with his unconscious burden, gave the address to the driver and slammed the door.

 She struggled to sit up and he helped her; in the darkness of the carriage he could see her extreme pallor, the weakness which assailed her, but she made a brave effort. smiling faintly as she told him that

 "You are not fit to work. Be- sides," he added, kindly, 'you shall not lose a nights salary"
 ''Are you Mir. 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 he 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 ''fireAy;" 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 small part and sang it so well 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? congratulate you; but, really, do you realize the danger to your reputation 1, if you continue to permit our man. ager to show you such marked favors?

some kind of ideas behind caprces of taste which are general and persistent enough to produce such substantial re- suits in the salesroom. The defects of Louis XV furniture are obvious enough and they are defects of a kind to which the most vigorous artistic movements of our time have been peculiarly hostile There must be people to whom Louis XIV furniture suggests ideas so agreeable that they are ready to pay huge prices for it. For them there must be kind of romance in 1t; and that romance proba- bly, consists in It's very unreality. It is said to be very popular among rich Americans, and they like it, pernaps, be- cause it is so utterly remote from any kind of life within their own experience. They live in a country that exults in the struggle for life and all phenomena pro- duced by it. Louis XV furniture was made for a society which conspired to g- nore the struggle for life, and regarded the most distant allusion to it an in- decency. We all have a liking for llt- erature that describes a state of being free from the most pressing laws of reality, although our taste in such lit- erature varies much from time to time. Now 1t isg for pastorals. now for fairy stories, prw for genteel comedy. The lovers of Louis XIV furniture go further than this. They are realistic in this kind of unreality, like the modern theatre manager. They wish to make an unreal world for themselves, and, since they have not fancy enough to make it out of their own heads, they go for properties to the most artificial time in the past This love of make believe is natural to the human mind but it has seldom been carried so far or taken so seriously as by the rich of our time, and particularly by rich Americans.

From the Bohemian Magazine.
 The dark waters of the trout stream purred pleasantly in the fast-fading light. The city fisherman stopped and prepared to take down his up-to- date tackle after a full day of sport. As he carefully un- iointed his imported green-hart rod the gravel crunched behind him.
 Turning quickly he gave an involuntary jump and a gasp which almost made his heart stop beating-it probably would have stopped but for the stimulant taken but a minute before--for before him stood the proverbial farmer boy The lad car ried a bright tin can of wiggling angle worms a cut pole and was clad in the regulation torn overalls. checkered shirt and battered straw hat.
 Want to buy some fish," asked the farmer boy in careless way, as though certain of customer, displaying the while a long string of fish,
 "No-o-o, No, my son. stammered the city fisherman with an effort and pinch ing himself to make sure it was all true. "No. I do not want to purchase any chubs and suckers today. because l have my 10-pound basket full of fine brook trout." And it was even as he said!

At the Amherst sale on Friday suite of Louis XIV furniture, consisting of two settees and 12 fauteuils, was sold for 1000 guineas The price of this kind of fur niture has been steadily rising for some time, and there must be a reason for that rise apart from mere caprice. Taste, of course, is always capricious. and espe- cialy in our time, when there are no great schools of contemporary art to con- tpol and direct it. But there must be
