Recipe For a Flower Garden.

Take twenty square yards of sand
and pebbles, stir in sufficient clay to
make a compact water tight mass,
ram down hard and score the surface
with a rake. Add carefully ten pack
cts of seeds of the most magnificent
flower known that will grow anywhe e
and under any conditions, throwing up
a continuous succession Of enormous
flower tTusseS from March to NOvem-
ber, each petal fivs inches across and
of the richest and most glowing tnts.
This is the cOmmOnest Of all flowers
and will be found listed on any page
of any florists catalogue. Set the
whole out to rise, keeping it moist and
warm. After allowing the mass to
rise four months sprinkle red spiders
and green aphides plentifully over the
top and soak well with tears. The
net result may be preserved in a
small bottle of alcohol for future ref
erence.-Philadelphia North American.

ORIGIN OF RESTAURANTS.
Dismissed Their Chefs, Who Then
Opened Eating Houses.

The restaurant Of the present time
had its origin in the first French revo-
luton, toward the close of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation of
the French for good cookery and the
delicacy of taste in eating as well as
in producing toOthsome dishes and
morsels dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs, SO
some of the latter hit upon the idea
Of opening houses. where dainties pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. If the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as well off as
when in service. The idea was pleas
Ing to the public, the restaurants did
a large business, and the prOprietOrs
had no reason to regret the revolution
from a monetary point of view.
Then it occurred TO others that the
people might appreciate being educat-
ed up TO this fine cookery, and many
books on the culinary art we're pub
lished and sold well. One Of the most
noted of these was "The Gourman Al
manack," which appeared in 1898.
Restaurant really means restoring"
and was applied to these places be-
cause you went there to have some
thing to revive or restore your failing
strength.

A Famous Opal,

The most famous opal in history was
that which was worn in a ring by the
Roman senator NOnius in the day Of
the triumvirate. Its size equaled that
Of a medium sized hazelnut, yet its
beauty and brilliancy rendered it
marvel among the dilettanti Of Rome,
especially when it was known that the
gOldsmiths and money changers had
set its value at $1,OOO,OOO. Mark An
tony made overtures to Nonius for its
purchase, intending, it is thought, to
present it to Cleopatra, but the senator
refused to part with it and for fear
that it would be taken from him by
sheer force sought safety in fight.
Here history loses all trace of this IA
nous gem, there being no record of its
transference from Nonius to any Of his
family.
