BOY LOST PLACE.
Placed Wrong Words on a Floral
 Piece.

The Danbury News says: A local florist had a great shock on Saturday afternoon when he entered the work room of his place and gazed upon a floral piece that lay on a counter fin ished and ready for delivery. In tell ing the story this morning he said he had been surprised at a great many things in his business, but nothing had ever had just the same effect upon him as had the incident a1e related.
 He had a floral piece made up and set a boy employed in the place at the task of forming letters of covered wire according to a design which had been written on a card The original copy read lat Rest" This was an easy array of letters to get together, so the florist set the boy to work and left to get shave
 When he returned he asked the boy if the floral piece was ready Being told that such was the case the florist went into the back room to look at it. It was then he got the shock. In stead of the words on the card the floral piece bore the wire-formed in- scrfption, At Last" The boy lost his job.

A GriddIe Cake Boom.

Our stoves and ranges now find a place in English kitchens where be- fore they were abhorred as of the evil one.

 The invasion of London by 8 Chicago dry goods man has been followed by many shocking innovations in the re- tail trade of that city. Page advertise nents of such goods now appear in the newspapers there, and the people are becoming acquainted with soda water fountains, restaurants, restrooms and many other features of the American department stores; but the most as todshing news is that the English have begun to eat our griddle cakes, the food which Matthew Arnold twen- ty years ago pronounced mot haWlf as nawsty as 1t looks

Country Homes.

Comparatively few people who live in cities, and depend upon purchasing g their necessary table sup1ies fin the dai- ly markets, have given much thought to one change which has occurred in recent years which may have affected the prices of vegetables and other pro- ducts of the soil.
 That change, which has been com mon with a good many cities, is the purchase and occupation, as suburban homes, of considerable tracts of ri: n land. situated from two to four miles from the city and the conversion of these tracts formerly kept under in tensive cultivation. into grass plots, lawns and woodlands. This has had the effect of withdrawing such conven- iently located tracts from productive cultivation by farmers and gardeners, who have, in consequence, either aban- doned their calling or been forced to prosecute their business at points more distant from the city markets. This latter course has Involved more ex- pense in delivery Of products. greater difficulty in obtaining reliable labor at reasonable prices. and more ex- pense in hauling from the city the fer tilizer necessary to keep the soil at a high point of productiveness.--Nas vile American.
