Artificial Flowers.

1t was in Italy that demand for
artificial flowers first arose. This was
due primarily 10 a caprice of fashion
which demanded that during festivals
blossoms in and out OF their seasons
should be worn and also 10 the fact
that their color and freshness were
stable. Later on. in the middle ages,
the artificial so far superseded the

New York, July GA movement has

The United Societies of the Chris

been sold to the Louisville & Nash
vile, and denials have followed, Re-
ceiver T. ]. Freeman of the Interna-

states there seems to be some doubt
about the matter However he at
taches no state significance to the sale
in any event. In regard to cotton
schedules he said he did not believe
that the roads would issue them I'M
less it would probably be for the ben
eft of their local agents, owing to the
fact that the commission ruling pre-
cludes the necessity of publication. He
also expected the interstate rate to
be filed with the Interstate Com
