1 , S HISTORY AND SCHOOLS.
The art of flower arrangement, like all
,-thc-r at in Japan, has a long history, aud
has its various scnools. At fir tit appears
i to have neeu mainly connected with Bud
dhism; tneu indigenous schools ar .se, in
struct,^'-1 hv some men of more than usual
• rpnnalitv aud mental vigor. In fact, its
hi ti v appears to have taken very much
the same c mrse as that of the pictoral arts,
with which Dr. Anderson has lately made
the wtsiernart world familiar. The most
poplar school of the present day is the E .-
shin. According to the doctrine of this sect
sriiool. as enu .dated by Mr. Louder, al.
H*w,r arrangements were built about an
iuui::s arv skeleton formed of lines of bal
ance'! curves. Symmetry, the most elemeu
tarv hind of bal uice in composition, was es
che'iveu, but a more subtle h irinony was ob
taiu A, Li more in conformity with the prin
cipi'sof beauty as discoverable in natuial
furtip. The ordinary flower arrangements
were two, t ree, five or seven lined, and a
\Tat different character was bestowed
upon these lines, according as they were
applied to standii gor to hanging arrange
ments. Intimately connected with the
character of flower compositions was the
|< r o f the vessels employed, of w hich there
v re several kinds adap.ed for standing,
re ting against the wall or a pillar, or sus
pending. Among these were certain curious
vases made of bamboo cylinders with seve-
Ira. sine o emngs intended for the arranve
niei.f of (1 iwers in se. oral stages. In these
cj'iijositi >ns, which contained several
kiuus of plants or trees in com inatioii, the
locality of growt i aud special character
were never iost sight 01, a distinction being
a.ways preserve 1 between trees, land plants
u: l w ater plants.
In selecting and arranging flowers the
appropriate season, and, in the case of
pint.-, coin non to several seasem, the pecu
liar character at the i articular season were
ntv r lost sight of. Used in combination,
s„;:.- held Ifigaer rank tuun others, and witn
different varieties of the same pieces the
odors had ace:tain order of precedence.
Vh:te inoss ms, as a rule, ranked first, but
tiero ♦eve several exceptions to this rulo.
, Tie idea of sex wasau plied in several ways to
She character of leaves, stems au i blossoms
in combination, the leading idea of such dis
tinctions being to produce a pleasing va
riety and to avoid redundancy. Many
curious fancies existed with re card to the
selection of trees and pla its. Tuose having
pois uuus properties in stem, root or fl iwer,
and some suggestive if omiuous association,
either on account of their > antes or owing
to accidental tradition, came under the ban
of i.l lucK, and were studiously avoided.
A GOOD DEAL OF CEREMONIAL
was mixed up with the practice of arrang
ing flower-. Pi iweffgatjori.igs were ofteu
field, at i\ hich it was usual for the guests to
make flower compositions, iu w bica case
certain' etiquette w a , to be followed both
by vi.-itois and by host. Special occasions,
such as weddings, comings of age, house
warmings, we.comings, farewell gather
ings a.id anniversaries all had ap
pr Mate flowers aud appiopriat
methods of designing. Harmony was
required between tne flower groups and
ti e wall fixtures in front of which they
were pl .oed. Tuis related both to harmony
Of lines and prop rtioa as well as to har
mony of character. One must not clash
with tho value, motive or effect of theother,
tad it possible the combined arrangement
of picture and flower group should have
cou.inuity of idea. For example, in
the ease of a picture representing a
water landscape being used, the flowers
a ranged in front might be irises
or other water plants, suggestive of
Le foreground of the landscape. Some of
the most popular flowers were treated in a
variety of was, at first sight seemingly
rapacious enough, but actually founded
upon a close observance of natural laws.
Combi.ed branches of cherry* blossoms
were to h ive buds in the center and top,
and blossoms at the base and sides, inas
much as the chorry tree commences blos
soming from the lower side branches,
la the same way arrangements of
autumn leaves were to be redder
near the top, because tanks of maple trees
become redde ed first t ward the top of
the slope. After the general arrangement
0: the composition into harmonious lines,
special attention was devoted to the distri
ct, on of blossoms, bu sand leaves. With
large-flowered plants, such as the chrysan
themum am pe my, au over-crowding "of
h.ossoius was studiously avoided, aud full
Anvers, buds and at-opened flowers were
uistrii.uted with careful regard to
' ARIF.TV OP FORM AND BALANCE OP MASS.

A TRAMP CLIENT'S FES.
Originally a Earrel of Bourbon Whisky,
It Developed Into $1,000,000 Cash.
From the .Veto York Sun.
•Undoubtedly the most valuable barrel
of whisky ever distilled,” said a well-known
Steuben county lawyer, •* was owned situs
years ago in Steuben county. If there was
ever a ! arrel of whisky more valuable I
would like to hear of it, for two gallons of
this p rticular barrel brought its owner
over <500,L00 a gallon. Tuere is a story
connected with tuat w hisky that is worth
telling, and worth placing on the record,
tiO.
“Some years before the war a young man
named Henry M. Sherwood was admitted to
to the bar of St. üben county. He was a
bright young fellow, and belonged t > the
to nof WoodhulL So n after hewas ad
mitted to the bar, and before he had had his
first client, a tramp was arre-tsd and put in
j iil at Cdrmng. He had been guilty of some
serious breach of the peace, and his generat
appearance was that of a genuine t >ugb.
He tried to engage a lawyer to defend him
when his care came up for a hear
ing, but as tie had no money no one
cared to take his case in hand At last he
inquired whether t uere wasn’t some young
lawyer in the place who hadn’t had much
of an oppo tuuity to distinguish himself as
yet and who would be w illing to undertake
the management of the prisoner’s ca-e for
the chance of gettiug some glory out of it.
Ha was toll that young Hank Sherwood
might consent to appear under those eo di
tions, aud the stranger sent for ttie briefless
lawyer. Sherwood went to the jail aid saw
the prisoner.
‘“lt looks as if I was in a pretty bad
scrape,” said the tramp to Hank, ‘but I be
lieve that a lawyer can get me through all
right. Now, i’m from Kentucky, and I
haven’t got a cent. I’m going back to Ken
tucky if I get out of this scrape, but I’ll
have to beg or beat my way till I get there.
My father is a big distiller, but I’ve been a
trifle wild, and he and I are not on the best
of terms. He wouldn’t send me a cent even if
1 should send word to him of the fix I am in
here. But I’ll tell you what I’ll do. If you
will take charge of my case and work it for
all it’s worth, and get me clear. I’ll sneak
out of the old man’s stock when I get home
a barr lof the best old Kentucky whisky
there is in the Bourbon country, and have
it shipped to you. I can do it easy. What
do y 'u say.’
“Young Sherwood didn’t take a bit of
stock in the man’s story, but he made up
his mind to see w'hat he could do in the
management of the case, just to begin get
ting his h ind in, and he accepted the tramp
as hie client. I don’t rente it or the details
of the case, but Ilauk succeede i in clearing
the tramp, ad the litter went away feel
inggood. Time passed along, and S ierwo>d
had forgotten ail about his tramp client
and the promised fee, when one day the
station agent at Addison, where the young
lawyer lived, met him and said:
‘.hay, Hank, there’s a barrel in the
freight house for you. It’s joeen there a
day or two and came from Kentucky.
More thun that, its markings declare that
it contains fine old Kentucky bourbon.’
‘.‘The tramp had paid his lawyer’s fee,
sure ea ugh. Sherwood had the barrel
taken home and placed in his cellar. He
wasn’t much of a tamperer with whisky
and tho barrel lay in the cellar five years
without being disturbed. The late Constant
Cook was the i judge of Steuben county.
He was holding court at C irning one term,
and, as was the cu tom in those days, a
number of lawyers and others gathered in
tho judge’s room at the hotel iu the evening
and passed an hour or so in a social game
■f euchre The judge enjovei an occa
sioi.al glass of good whisky, and he was a
thorough judge of g>od whisky, too. On
the occasion I speak of, Hank Sherwood
was one of the judge’s euchre party.
The judge was very bitter of his
denuncia ion of the whisky they
so.d in Cuming, and said iie would be grate
ful for a gla -s of whisky that was fit to
drink. That reminded Sherwood of his
barrel of old Kentucky bourb m that hid
been lying so long in his cellar. He told
Judge Cook that he had some whisky at
itorne that he believed was good, aid that
he would fetch some down next day. He
had his barrel tapped that night, and filling
a two-gallon jug from it brought it to
Corning and presented it to Judge Cook.
The judge tasteu th 1 whisky, aud in all his
experio ce he had never met with its equal.
‘“Y ung man,’said he to Sherwood, ‘I
won’t forget you for fetching me this rare
sfuff. If ever I see a chance to give you a
iift I’ll do it.’
Time passed. Sherwood skinned nloug
after the manner of the average country
lawyer. 3 lie war broke out. Judge Cook
was one of the solid men of Western New
York. He, in company with the lute John
Arnot. J. S. T. Strauahau of Buffalo,
Charles Cook of Havana and John H.
Cuedell of Auburn, bad built the New York
and Erie lallrjad from Bighamptou to
Corning, aud was largely interested in other
improvements in this part of the state and
Pennsylva ia. Soon after the war began
lie obtained a big government contract, and
at once sent tor Hank Sherwood.
“I’m going to give you that lift now,
Henry,” said ho.
“He let Sherwood in ou the contract, and
the country lawyer’s share of the proceeds
was slso,ooo—cold, cash dollars. After this
was done Judge Cook said to Sherwood:
“There’s some laud for sale in Tioga
county, Pa. It is coal laud, and is bound
to be very valuable. You can buy some of
it cheap. Put all4ho money you’ve got iu
that laud.”
“3herwood did so. Every dollar ho made
in the big contnact he put into Tioga
county land. He hand’t a great while to
wait before the prophecy of Judge Cook
came true. Henry M. Sherwood’s first fee
resulted in bei.ig the biggest foe ever re
ceived by any lawyer ou earth, for be
cleared over $1,000,00 1 from his investment
in the Tioga county Ja ids, and the barrel
of Kentucky whisky his tramp clieut had
paid for his services was the basis of it all.
Was there ever a more valuable barrel of
whisky distilled, do you think?’
HARD ON BALD HEADS.
What a Baltimore Physician Says
About Them.
From the Baltimore Herald.
Since times immemorial there have been
bald-headed men, and paragrapbers have
written good, bad or indifferent jokes about
them, and stage comedians have said things
at their expense which were meant to be
funny without, however, making any seri
ous inroads upon the fashion of w, aring
one’s hair very short. Gentlemen with
shining pates aro the objects of much per
secution, although punishment does not
always overtake the persecut irs so swiftly
and surely as on a certuin occasion several
thousand years ago, when a number of
bad boys were torn to pieces by hears
because they were lacking in respect to
ward Elijah the prophet. And now a phy
siciau comes forward and makes the sweep
ing and unqualified statement that bald
hoadedness is an indie tti<m of meanness. It
is difficult to see what affinity there is be
tween a l ek of hirsute adornment and nar
rowness of soul, yet the disciple of gEscula
p us in question c aims to have observed
that sucu is a fact aud that one needn’t go
very far to prove it. The statement de
serves a 1 the more considerati m and atten
tion as ic comes from one of Baltimore’s
best known physicians, one who has had
ample opportunity to make quite a study of
the matter, and whose office is not very far
from the new postoflice.
Assuming that the statement is founded
on fact, how is tais to be accounted for? It
is hardly to be thought of that there is so
much more latent wi kedness in the c im
position of the man wh so do i.e of t lought
is unprotected than in that of the average
individual, and, besides, it is socotnple e>y
at variance witn the popular idea. Bald
headed men have always been regarded as
the incarnation of good nature aud benevo
leuca No artist' ever painted a picture
illustrating contented ness but tnat it wasn’t
teat of a fat, baldbeadei man with
a visage cl (Sidy resembling the facj
of a healthy, 1-year-bld boy baby.
THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 18S9.
Wherever the pleasant side of mouast’c
life is represented on canvas, an old corpu
lent friar is seen down in some dirk vault
in the midst of I ulky casks. He isdraining
a tankard, and in the act the hood of his
coarse garment has dropped down, reveal
ing a head with the forehead and the ton
sure all run into one. Mr. George W. Childs
is pointed out as the m del of a generous
raaa, and the space between his eyebrows
and the capillary advance guard is rather
expansive, and there are not wanting hun
dreds of other men who would seem to be
a standing refutation of the charge made.
Tuere are, no doubt, many other persons
who will take sides in the controversy until
the question whether hald-hoadodi.ess is a
sign of meanness will overshadow the cry
for lar.lf reform or that of the prohib.-
tionists to put down rum. Amateur phre
nolog sts will come to the front with all
sorts of views, and shiuing patas will be
objects of greater research and observation
than an oc.ipse of the suu or the trao ition
of Venus. Tho life of the bald-headed
man will be made a cons ant tor
ment and a burden to > heavy almost to be
borne. Every one with a theory will search
him out for the purpose of studying him to
ii and indications iu support of their theory.
He will find himself surrounded bv persons
wh i pride themselves on their keen powers
of observation, and for a brief period will
perhaps hug the delusion that be is a person
of mental sutieriority, and that, therefore,
others crowd around him like the disciples
of old around their mas;rs, while instead
they are actuated only by a feeling similar
to that which sends an entomologist in
search of anew variety of a certain class of
insects.
Youngsters who have uncles with a short
coming iu the matter of huir, will no longer
await their arrival with that pleasurable
anticipation that holds possession .of i hem
now. They will no longer rush forward to
meet their aged relatives, hoping to be
suitably rewarded fir their handsome ap
pearance and display of affection. With
the impetuosity of tho youthful mind, they
will array the i selves on the side of the
Baltimore physician and construe every
oversight of tho uncle in the matter of ap
preciating the value of having such a flue
nephew as the manifestation of a niggard y,
stingy disposition. Tne ill-concealed feeling
of contempt in the small b>y will find ex
pression in words utterd at such times when
the uncle is within hearing, and this will
ali the more tend to sour the milk of human
ki dnessin him.
The beggar on the street corner who
could turn his knowledge of the world and
human nature to better account if he chose
will learn to expect nothing from tho man
who can inop tne top of his head without
disarranging his hear, aud on whose account
combs need not have been invented at all.
Like the Parisian mendicant, his American
colleague ‘.vill bo thoroughly upon all iudi
citions of liberality or close-flstoduoss in the
persons who pass by th m, aud he will un
doubtedly have studied tne theory of the
Baltimore doctor in all its phases. To be
th s let alone by bogus applicants for charity
will be retheran advantage than otherwise,
and will, perhaps, cause overy second indi
vidual iu the town to wish he were bald
headed. But for tho rest the individual
treated shabbily in the matter of hair by
nature will be sorry that he was born.
No longer will he derive that keen sense
of enjoyment sitting iu the front row of
the theater ilui iug a ballot that made this
form of diversion so pleasant in the past.
Ha will know without turning around that
the eyes of tho entire auditorium are turned
upon him, and that everybody is speculat
ing to what extent men mess has bean de
veloped in him. The buld-healod man will
take rec ur o to the wigtnaker’s art and
seek other means where;:/ to hide his
physical defect. Life will be with hun one
constant care; his formerly robust form
will lose its rotundity; he will pine away
aud sink int' an untimely grave.
And for all this the Biltimorean with his
absurd theory will be responsible. Ho
must have had a customer with a i account
in arrears wild t ook this means t > get even.
SOMS POLITiS.V ES3 DOJUSN’X PAY.
Asa Nice Young Sunday School Sec
retary Discovers ia Grand Street.
From the Hew York Herald.
Politeness is a dangerous experiment at
times in srnie parts of Now York. It is a
good deal safer to keep silence than to be
courteous.
I saw an instance in point on Grand street
the other day. Walking east past the
Bowery were twogirls. One had her arms
full of bundles and the o hyr, a slight, pale
faced lit le thing, with arms not much
thicker than clothespins, was lugging a big
valise. She could barely stagger along with
her load. Coming behind to the two girls
wns a well-dressed, modest-looking young
man, in whom I recognized the secretary of
a prominent Suauav school. He is a real
nice young man, who wouldn’t take advan
tage of a sick kitten. The sight of the weak
little woman with the tremendous valise
evidently touched his sympathies, and after
lookingcompasiouately at her for a few
movne ts he stepped alongside and said:—.
“Pardon me, miss, but that bag seems to
be very heavy f r you. I am going your
way across Grand street, and if you will
permit me 1 will carry it.”
Quick ns a flash aud before tho p lite offer
was well out of the you tg man’s mouth the
thin, pale faced girl turned sharply upon
him and cried:—
“G’won. you dirty duhde, tisn’t the likes
of you I’d be after asking to carry my
grip.”
The young woman with the bundle added
some other forcible remarks, and, turning,
beckoned down the street. At the same
moment two typical e :st side toughs, who
were evidently the escort of the girls, but
bad been lounging around some distance
behind, came hurrying up. Without stop
ping to ask what the trouble was, one of
the toughs hit the good young man a sting
ing blow between the eyes that sent him
sprawling in the gutter. The good young
nian had just regained his feet in a dazed
sort of way when ahe ivy hand fell on his
shoulder, and the voico of a Grand street
ooliceman roared:
“Come on now! come on now, or I’ll run
you in, ye ma iling blackguard!” The go and
vau g mau attempted t> explain, buttle
policeman hustled him off down the street
without ceremony. On the way hey meta
man of influence in the ward, who happened
to know the young Sunday school secretary,
and he got the policema i t > release him,
Meantime the toughs and their girls had
disappeared down a side street, the thin,
pale-faced girl still laboring under the tre
mendous valise, whilo the escort siouchid

Characteristics Told by Finger Nails.
From the Medical Classics.
Fortune telling by means of the finger
nails, onychiomancy, as it was called, was
not uncommon in ancient times. The prac
tice was to rub tho nails with oil aud soot
or wax, and to hold up the nails, thus pre
pared, against the sun, and upon the trans
parent horny substance were supposed to
appear figures or characters which gave the
answer required.
In more recent times people have been
found predicting by meansrof the nails of
the hand, and telling the disposition of
persons with certain descriptions of nails.
However absurd it may aptr-ar, wo shall
give examples of this superstition.
A person with broad nails is of gentle
nature, timid und bashful.
Persons whose nails grow into the flesh at
the points or sides are given to luxury.
A white mark on the nail bespeaks mis
fortune.
Persons with very pale nails are subj -ct
to much infl-mity of t e flob, a id persecu
tion by neighbors and friends.
.People with narrow nails are ambitious
and quarrelsome.
Lovers of knowledge and li’ oral senti
ment have round tails.
Indolent people have generally flo hy nails.
Small nails indicate littleness of mind,
obstinacy and cone fit.
Aleiau holy porso is are dis'iiigu shed by
i th -ir pale or lead-colored nails; ami choleric,
i martial men, dehguting in war, have red
j and spotted nails.
