SENTENCE SERMONS.

Ignorance gives birth to a lot On
eloquence.
They miss the place of power who
dodge all pain.
You cannot stir up love with the
poker of anger.
A man begins to die as soon as he
lowers his ideas.
No man can be wholly free as long
as any remain bound.
When the divine is only propo-
ston piety is only a theory.
There is only evil in the goodness
that makes other evil.
No man helps people much who
thinks only of pleasing them.
One way to defend the right is to at
tack all wrong vigorously.
Many believe in the discipline of suf'
fering, providing others take 1t.
No man hits the mark of righteous
ness by aiming at respectability.
If you never dream Of the impossible
you will never do the possible.
Making the best of that which is
wrong is often buttressing an evil.
You cannot SOW weeds In your heart

 This charming opera was presented at the Regto theatre, Turin, February |, 1896, and has been widely popular ever since.

They are shortly joined bv their friends, Colline, philosopher and Schaunard, musician. These four Be- neiiie...s norm an inseparable quartet who life, love and work together in per- feet harmony. They live entirely by their wits, spending their money freely when they have it., and cheerfully submitting to misfortune when she sees fit to frown upon them.

Kellogg went to Pleasant Hill, Mo, with an old wagon and horse and his invalid wife. He was almost penniess. He decided to re- main near the little town. His wife could do but little work. To please her he planted u flower bed. The roses and the carnations bloomed and spread their perfume around the little cottage of the Kelloggs They were greatly admired Some persons were found willing to pay for the flowers cut into bouquets.
 This put the idea of raising flowers for profit into the brain of Kellogg. He met with success almost from the first. Before long he had an acre under glass. and when he died a few years ago he had the largest greenhouses west of the Mississippi, with immense sales. And the business continues to grow.

.I a H producers to give their patrons scenes from the make-believe. It was no such motive, however, which caused Lew Fields to introduce a theatre scene in 'The Midnight Sons" It was he says, striving for novelty not oply of scere, but as to the number of people that could be crowded onto a modern stage. Tho theatre, for example, could com fortably hold more than 800 people, but the illusion is gained with this number When the house curtain rises the paid audience at first thinks that. 1t Is looking at itself. There are tiers of boxes, or chestra seats. a descending aisle, a bal cony and gallery, red exit lights. water boys, ushers, In, fact no detail has been overlooked. Even the spotlight man can be seen in the gallery.
 The scene utilizes practically ever inch of the stage space. There can be little coming and going except from the rear entrance, which the actors reach by means of an inclined run. There are Nof course, two entrances on the miniature stage, which, by the way. is the only "mIriature'' thing about the Merri Murry theatre. The stage, however, is as wide cs that of the Shuloert stage, but it Is barely over five feet in width, sufficiently wide however, to permit the vaudeville performance.

Rose Industry Big
l fhn New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 It is estimated 10o000,0o0 roses are grown every year in commercial green houses and that they have a value of many millions of dollars. The de- mand for roses has been increasing steadily and florists say they have diffi- culty in keeping up with the call for them. Rose culture as a business did not exist in this country in 1850, and up to 1870 it amounted to little, but since that time il has been growing rapidly. The most expensive member of the rose family is the American Beauty, and florists say they are put to their wits ends trying to grow enough of them. They charge high prices for them and give various reasons for it, First, they say. the American Beauty is the perfection of the rose variety. Further more'' said florist, it is the most expensive one in the greenhouse, as it produces fewer flowers to plant, and to meet the demands for large blooms 1t Is customary to pinch the buds to throw all the strength into one flower"

Love of Flowers

From the ST. Louis Gazette.
 The love of a flower for an invalid Missouri woman has resulted in the establishment of an industry which keeps scores of, people employed and the sales for which amount to more than a. third of a million dollars a year.
 A plain Missouri farmer, almost pen niless, founded the industry which made him the best known resident in gCass county and which enabled him not only to distribute flowers among the poor, but which gave, him an income which he ex- pended largely in benevolent work.

.erhe Midnight sonsn

Attempts to reproduce stage life. or stage scenes upon the stage, while desul- tory, have always proven ideal bait for a public hungry for glimpse behind the curtain. In ''The Midnight Sons' the tables have been turned. for the audience is shown another audience-one facing the other. To all appearances there might be huge mirror somewhere back of the footIig1ts srenecting or mirroring the real audience. sf
 The idea Is that of Lew. Fields, the pro- ducer. Similar scenes have been tried in number of plays of the past IS or 20 years, The late Jerome Sykes had a scene of that description in his last play .'The Billionaire," but only a portion of
 the audience could be seen. The tiny stage was set at an angle of about 45
 degrees to the curtain line, while in
 ..The Midnight Sons'' the stage parallels
 the .sfoots' and the large audience (the
 theatre seats over 800 people) faces the
 miniature stage. st
 George M. Conan attempted similar
 scene in ''Popularity." Tn 'sThe Royal
 Box" in which the late Charles Coghlan
 used to appear, was a scene supposed to
 represent a stage upon a stage with ces-
 tain of the players seated in one of the stage boxes. Alvin Joslin,' another old time play. had such scene. The samc idea is utilized in 'The Love Cure" and Mile. Modiste'' also made use of the plan.

Alexandre Bisson. whose impressive emotional drama, Madame X,' continues l to create such a furore throughout Flu rope and America, is one of the'very few dramatists of any time who has been | able to achieve great success in both
 serious and lighter fields. For many years M. Bsson stood in the very first rank of French writers of farce and | light comedy, his plays being extraor- dinarily successful at home and in Eng | land, Germany, America and other lands. | But until he wrote Madame X' he | never even attempted anything more se- l rious than a comedy of manners.
 r All the more remarkable then is Bis sons triumph in dealing with that most sacred and, dramatically, most difficult | of human emotions-motherlove. It may | be taken as fresh evidence that the ablest humorsts are at bottom the most sincere and the most gifted in under standing the finer qualities of humanity. i For many years the late Augustin Daily had translated and produced in New York Bisson farce as an annual fea- l ture of his repertoire.
