sponsible for, forty-three fires with

tax law was a bill which was pre-.
sented on the last day for transact

which has so far attracted little at

members knowing the bill has been
introduced. 1t provides that all ma

III the sensational. Its notorious career has been
freely discussed among the less brilliant flowers
some of which, in spite of their sweet, gentle
dispositions resent the tulips regal bearing and
courty airs. Few people have lever heard the
stories they tell In this busy, hustling age only
poets and occasionally other impractical folk find
time to trace the family trees and history of
flowers
But the tulip as We'll as the other blossoms
that are talked about. will probably be welcomed
even more cordially than of old into the churches
and the homes of the best families after its
strange and wonderful past becomes known. The
gay-petaled blossom gets its name from a SINH
larity to the Turkish headdress and of the
chief national festivals in the Sutans land is
known the feast of tulips But the proud flow
er has done something more than please the
Turks with its beauty.
Once upon a time it held just as great in
fuence over the financial affairs of some families
as Wall street has had over those of others. This
all happened something over 800 years ago. when

little sum OF $50, 10000. The finest bulbs are
still brought from that Holland town. and are
descendants of those famous tulips.
While this financial career of the tulip is most
interesting in specializing circles the poets love
best the tale that tells how the young PERSIAN

love The turbaned swain sends to the lady of
his dreams the most brilliant tulip he find.
The message it bears is that like the flower his
countenance is all on fire and his heart has been
reduced to a coal by the intense warmth of his
love

lon the name bestowed upon the violet by
the Imaginative Greek who loved to people the
petals of every blossom and the ripples of every
. rill with fair creations of their fancy According
to mythology the name derived from Ia the
daughter of Midas and the betrothed of Atys The
story that Diana, desiring to conceal the
maid from Apollo, transformed her into violet.
Another myth about the birth of the flower SAYS
that Jupiter caused the first violets to sprir

heifer from the fury of Juno
The verse makers have special fondness fer
the tiny flower, and love to translate the MESSAGE
it is trying to tell to the rest of creation.
1t is singular fact that some flowers suggest
pensiyeness and even melancholy, while in fc n,
color and bearing others speak only of gladnass.
While the personality of the flower may be
what responsible for its effect on the human
moods, more. perhaps is due to the strain of
poets moods Most of the Easter flowers seem
to be message bearers of Joy and hope, lifting
their faces to the blue skies in happy ship
rather than in sadness. 1t to be natural
for poets to give names and human attributes
to plants, but the beauty loving Greeks went
farther along the path of fancy They invented
human originals for their favorite flowers. and
made beautiful legends to account for the trans
formation. The lovely narcissus according to
their lore. was once handsome young god who
became so lost in admiration of mis- shadow
that he cruelty sighted the affections of tie fair
Echo. AS punishment for this crime he
changed into a narcissus, the flower of SET love.
Shakespeare aludes to another romantic
legend in his Winter Tale The narciss is was
said to have been the flower that the daughter
of Ceres gathering when she was carried
off by Pluto of internal region fame. The night
goddesses also chose it for their ancient coronet
and it a highly important factor in the Gus
toms of Greek life. The Chinese too have
great fancy for this flower They use ii in many
of their sacred ceremonies and every family in
the Mikado's realm takes great pride in having
plant in full bloom at the New Year.
Love and jealousy played leading parts in the
story OF the birth of the hyacinth another Oren-
tai fayorite. There youth, Hyacnthus by
name who much beloved by Apollo and
Zephyr, He preferred the warm. steady affection
of the to the ftful love of the wind. This
made the passionate Zephyr wildly jealous and
caused the plotting of a terrible revenge. While
Apollo and Hyacinthus playing quoits which
favorite game with the gods. Zephyr saw
his awaited opportunity He made his rival the
slayer of Hyacinthus by blowing the gods quot
toward the head of the youth. But while the
dying boy held in the of Apollo he was
transformed into the fair, fragrant hyacinth. The
flower has always meant game or play because
