Trick of the Florists Trade.

A Brooklyn florist was Showing q
friend around his greenhouse. The
friend noticed that there were two
hives of bees in the house and asked
the florist why he kept bees.

list. 1.-The bees circulate around among
the cucumber blossoms and carry the
pollen from one blossom to another,
fartilizing the blossoms, so that l get
a much larger crop than otherwise.

The F ather of Waters
BY REV, THOMAS B. GREGORY.

T was November 90, 1871, that
DeSoto discovered the Missis-
sippi. 1t was the first time, so
far as we know, that the great riv-
er was ever seen by a white man.
The savage had often gazed with
Acknowledgment eye upon the mighty
flood rolling from Itasca to the sea,
and the wild beasts had long been
familiar with the reflection of their
images upon its waters, as they
would come down to the shores to
drink, but not until the great Span
lard looked upon it did it become
the object of the intelligence that
was worthy of the grandeur.
1t may be said in passing that
while DeSoto's followers found the
mouth of the great river in 1543. its
source remained mystery until
1884. when it was discovered by
Captain Glazier and julius Cham
bers. In other words, more than
three and half centuries inter
vened between the discovery of it's
outlet into the Gulf of Mexico and
the finding of its rise. nearly 5000
miles northward, in the upjands of
Minnesota.
There is but one Mississippi.
There are other rivers as long and
as large-the Nile, the Amazon. the
Congo-but we can say of our "Fa-
Their of Waters" what can not be
said of any other river of its size,
that ii is all our own. Not a drop
of its waters belongs to any other
people. From the spot where it
starts up out of the earth to the
spot where II mingles it's floods with
the brine. it is purely and simply
American. For 5000 miles it flows
through one Country-the United
States of America. No foreign soil
mingles with its current From
start To finish il is American.
II is said that just before the
outbreak of the civil war a great
Southern statesman exclaimed.
SorroWfullN in a company OF broth

fight, but we are going to get licked,
The Mississippi flows in the wrong
direction. If it ran east and west
we'd win. but it happens to run
north and south, and our cake is all

Mr.. Lincoln appears to have had
a somewhat similar view of the
great stream, and of it's paramount
importance as a national factor. for
was it not soon after the fall of
Ficksburg that the president said

and the biggest thing that was ever

But if girl does not care to spe-

pick up bargains here and there IN
lace and silk and velvet. and if she
knows how to put them together
herself she can have toilets for
few dollars that would have cost
her hundreds If she had bought
them of a fashionable shop.
The result is that whether a poor
woman looks like a perambulating
ragbag or fashion plate depends
altogether on her skill with the
needle. Certainly the dressmakers

To my mind. the problem Of
teaching a girl a good trade and
something that she will have use
for every day of her life, whether
she marries or not, and yet by
which she can support herself if
she ever needs to- is furnished by
the courses in domestic science that

profession in the colleges.

By DOROTHY DIX.

I HAVE said in this paper over
l. and over again, and l shall
say it a million times more,
because it is a matter that can not
be impressed too deeply upon the
minds of girls and their parents,
that every girl in the world should
be taught some way by which she
can make an honest living, if it
becomes necessary for her to earn
her bread and butter.
1t doesn't do for people to con-
sole themselves with the thought
that girl is sure to marry, be-
cause there aren't enough hus-
bands nowadays to go around. and
every year sees a decrease in the
number of men who are willing, or
financially able to support a family,
putting their necks in the matri-
monial halter.
Forced to Turn Breadwinner.
And even if a girl does marry,
that doesn't guarantee her cakes
and ale, and pretty clothes for the
balance of her life. Husbands die
and leave their wives without a
penny and with a houseful of chill
dren to support. Men become in
valids and their wives have to take
care of them instead of being taken
care of by them. Husbands are
often mere drunken loafers, or no
account, spineless creatures who
were born too tired to work, and 1t
is a case of hustle or starve with
their wives
When a woman is forced by cir
cumstances to become the bread
winner of a family, the tragedy Of
it is because she has not been pre-
pared for the emergency. She
knows nothing to do by which she
can turn a penny. If she had some
trade or profession that she could
fall back on in time of need #
would rob the situation of it's hor-
rors. She would simply get back E.
her old job, and live happily ever
after. instead of having to go.
through the torrents of anxiety
and striving and dependence while
she begs her friends to find her
something to do, and has herself to
learn how to do it,
This being the case 1t is nothing
less than criminal for parents not
to have their girls taught some oc-
cupation that will fit them to sup
port themselves. This applies to
the rich and WE'LL do as well as
the poor, but the practical difficulty
in the way of doing this is that 1t
is hard to get a girl to take up
seriously the study of a business or
a trade that she doesn't intend to
follow at the time, and the fact
that most girls of the well do
class do marry.

recall some burning sentences in a
letter of Carlyle's written more
than forty years ago, but sounding
like the cry of an honest soul tor

Wiley to write these things, any

the part of the public. but that of
public officials i'm permitting their
eyes to be blinded by transparent

But the thing has become too Sc
rious to be laughed at, When many
of the staples of life have been SO
falsified by adulteration and sub
stitution that it is almost impossi-
bile to procure them in a pure state,
and when the stuff offered i'm their
place is backed mp by misrepresen-

misleading labels, it is time to 90
something very decided about it.
The people themselves arc partly
to blame for the situation. When
the laws that they have made for
their protection are "queered" by
manufacturers Of substitutes and
adulterants, the remedy lies in up
holding the hands of honest officers
who, as DR., Wiley did until he was
forced out, try to enforce the laws
in their true spirit But back of
this lies the need of education.
Every head of family owes it to
himself and to those dependent
upon him TO learn the facts. There
is no better way to do this than to
read Or Wiey's articles.
