SE-)r York, Jan. 14.—The moat beauti
fy flowers in the world are grown in Nsw
Voik.
California has a greater abundance of
blooms, and Paris end London bave each
th ’ e ir soeciaßiee. But New York excels
toeo all i' ‘he greatest beauty of the
-raster number of tio .sers.
In New York, even in tbe coldest
woather, it is not unusaal to find violets
vhose outspread petals would extend over
the size of a silver dollar, and American
beauty roses ore frequently seen as large as
e big orange.
tie fashion In flowers varies less with the

there aie certain vegetables obtainable only

gj those that are offered for sale are r.earlv
glways hot house grown the prioe of flowers
does not vary from winter to summer
-early as much a due would suppose who is
not iu the habit of buying.
Thus acertain code of floral laws, or what
may be called a code of floral etiquette,
tints whioh it followed all the year round
without regard to season.
For tbe debutante the favorite bouquet is
made el! of orchids—white orchids being
the preferred ones. size tor a de
butante’s bouquet Is about fourteen inches
across, and is made iu conventional bouquet
fashion. The cost is about sl2. But, of
cour e, a beautiful and pot ular young girl
receives many bouquets, so there is always
a struggle for something a little novel and
sufficiently original that it cannot bs du
plicated. Many varieties of the orchid
bouquet, therefore,' must be found. A
youi g roan who is, as yon would sav,
•‘rather sweet” upon a younq woman, and
who wants to send her something whioh will
retch her eye and please her, will say to bis
florist:
“Can you send Miss A. a handsome bou
quet, which shall be—er—a little—er —dif-
ferent from—er—anything else, don’t you
know?”
Then bis florist'will suggest a . bouquet all
of very rare wnite orchids, with vrhlte lilies
on one side. When it is done the young
man drops in to see it. and perhaps he
orders finishing touches, which bring the
bill up to $.50 for this one bouquet,
ihe matron who- sends a bouquet to a
debutante chooses colored orchids. Thev
may be pink or purple or variegated, but
the entire bouquet is after the conventional
order.
Tbe debutante, if she is at all popular,
has half a hundred bouquets. But you may
be sure that she has her eye upon one which
she fancies more than .yny of the others,
aud b 7 and by she will pick it up and carry
it for the rest of the evening to the exclu
sion of the others. It ie always the bou
quet of white orchids and white lilies
which is cbossn. To pas3 to a more
somber subject and to another use
to which these same flowers are
devoted, for funerals the palm is the ac
cepted offering, although a much greater
latitude is allowed at funerals than former
ly. At Jay Gould’s funeral thefe was a
greater vaiiety than at any social gather
ing of the Srason. Mrs. August Belmont had
likewise many exquisite floral (fleets. The
K thachilds are In the habit of cabling over
orders for floral pieces, and, indeed, it is not
unusual to receive half a doze 1 cable orders
for any large Now York event, especially a
funeral. While tbe palm is the accepted
tribute for a funeral, there is a floral piece
known as the “mat,'’ which is as g,id form
as anything that ca ibs sent. This consists
ot n any great bunches of flowers just
as they are brought out of tbe vases' of
the cool room. They aro dropped iu arm
fuls and are fastened to the mat foundation
wherever they happen to lie. so t >et the
w hole is an exquisitely beautiful bit of ex
travagance, which, when floral beauty is
considered, well repays the buyer.
When a man orders a bouquet for bis wife
or a box of flowers it is considered tho
prettiest idea for him to select violets, as
these have clinging assoc ialions of poetry,
love, constancy and all the things that
ought to belong te married life.
A woman m ordering flowers for her hus
band will ask that something be sent suit
sole for a boutonniere. This varies a little
with the season, but is sure to be a chrysan
themum es long as obrysßDthemunjj last.
Flowers for old people and for young girls
are nearly always cut roses. They seem to
appeal espeoially ta these two classes. Old
people choose them because tbay are sweet
smellit g, and because old people do not take
us kindly to fashion able floral innovations as
young society people. Girls in their “ceens”
like cut roses because thev are poetical and
because allusions to growing maidenhood
are usually couched in terms pcrtruying the
opening of the rose.
It is rather anew idea with tho season,
almost a fad, in fact, to send pots of grow
ing plants to young men in place of birth
day or New Year’s gift3. Indeed, the pot
of growing plants fcrme in itself a gift
worthy of being sent to any one. Rubber
biants and all kinds of hardy foliage plants
are selected because they are easier to care
for than the majority] of plants.
For home entertainments, where a very
good effect is desired in small space, it is
‘he most fashionable idea to cover one side
of the wall entirely with flowers of only
one variety, and if possible to introduce
light behind then*. T i has bean done re
peatedly at Mra. Whitney’s annual balis,
and the result Bas been so good that the
idea has become aia established one and is a
fashion in itself.
For tbs coming put of the debutante or
for a wedding or a christening tbe effect
should bo bright—it articularly bright—as is
‘he ca-e it pink carnalities, yellow chrysan
themums or bright roses are used. But for
ordinary social gatherings it is prettier to
subdue the tone somewhat and i rim tbe ivy,
' if it be in the winter, with mistletoe
and holly.
A few weeks ago I massed holly on one
side of a Ball room and the effect was so
beautiful that all the guests were talking
about it. The idea was afierward repeated
at tbe Patriarchs’ ball, but was done too
sparingly, and was, therefore, not a suc
cess.
A great deal of money is necessary for
anything of this kind, though it tnav said
•uat the people who order soch work done
are so rich that the $3,000 or $3,000 neees-
for such adornment teems nothing at

• Tor • tme • Savannah • Volunteer-Guards*
The new Guards’ armory is approaching
completion. The abov6 view was drawn by
the architect, Mr. William Gibbons Preston,
for tbe purpose of showing the building as
it will appear with Its surroundings and tbe
rifle range on Charlton street and the new
wing of tne Harmonie Club on Bull street.
Tbe main entranoe to tha building is at
tbe center of tbe Bull street front. By this
means one reaches the company rooms at
the rear of the first floor, the olub rooms
and the drill hall.
The latter is so designed as to
be utilized as a ball room of
much beauty of design and proportion.
In order that It may bo of independent use,
an entrance beneath the massive arch on
Charlton street has been provided, and by
closing two doors the ball can be used for
auy festivity while the club quarters are in
big flowers that can be used with good ef
fect upon the stage.
In trimming state rooms for those about
to depart on European steamers it is the
ietest idea to use vases and ornamental [ ots
and jars as far as pcssl ole, because those
cau be preserved during the trip after tbe
flowers are cast overnoard. A mass of
stnilax or ivy drawn across one side of a
stateroom like a portiere and then “stuffed”
out of the porthole gives a beautifully
artistic effect, which is the “fed” with out
going tourists. Pots of picturesque roses
and bouquets of sentimental forget-me-nots
are the flowers suitable for the occasion.
With regard to a floral alphabet, there is
little abso.utely set down in rules. Tbe law
varies with the woman. A young girl will
take a fancy for lilies of the valley. She
wears them on all occasions, bos them
painted upou her fau and embroidered upon
her gown. To her they mean everything
pure and lovely. They constitute her “al
phabet of love,” so to speak. And. of
course, her admirers know her taste and
choose tbe tiny white flowers to bear their
unspoken messages.
Asa rule, however, the heart of the so
ciety maiden is touched by mammon, so
that flowers which represent money repre
sent also love. Asa pert little maiden re
marked in front of one of my windows:
“Carnations and love will do for some
girls; but I have educated my best boy up
to orchids.”
Many orders are left which the etiquette
of my business will not permit me to fulfill.
For an example, take the case of a man
who dropped in here last week and left a
$lO bill upon my counter.
■ “You may send Miss B. of No. 5000 Fifth
avenue, a box of pansies. And—er—well—
never mind—er the card, you kuow. Just
send them anonymously.”
Now Miss B.’s mother is one of our
patrons and Mtss R. herself is a school girl
of 15. Bo I delayed fulfilling the order
until her fa her happened in one day. and
then 1 told bitn about tbe man who wisbed
me to send his daughter flowers.
“Do not send them!" he thundered.
"Flowers to my daughter! At her age!
Impossible! Preposterous!”
I did not send Miss B. the flowers and when
her elderly admirer happens in again he
will be tbe richer by a $lO bill.
Asa rule, though, fl ral orders are for the
expression of pare, dignified sentiment. And
into no other business does so little of the
immoral ever creep.

SAVED BY A DOG.
Front file Boston Globe.
Long Ridge station was a very solitary
spot indeed, even at the beat of times; but
just at present, when Long Peter and I were
its only occupants, the loneliness of our
position was horrible.
I don’t think Peter felt it as I did. He
was a tall, gaunt Scotchman, who had been
a shepherd in his native land. I bad come
out from a full nest—a happy home; and
ths awful monotony of the Australian
wilds seemed sometimes more than I could
bear.
For a month at least Long Peter and I
had shared the work and the danger be
tween us; be, as the moat experienced, going
out with tbe sheep while I kept tbe hut.
cooked the food and attended to the various
dute.-.
On this particular day I had been feeling
an amount of listle-s weariness which I
could sca fiely understand mysvlf. but the
fact was that nervous depression so over
powered cas that when Bouncer rose up
from my feet with a growl. I started as
though some terrible danger was close at
hand.
I walked to the door of the hut and looked
keenly all around but could not see any
thing unusual.
Still Bouncer knew what he was about.
Bouncer had nssn to his feet, and was list
ening latently. Again he growled, no, not
growled, but whined impatiently, and
trotted to the door.
Then I knew that whoever might be ap
proaching was no enemy, but a friend. Yet
who could it be?
I followed Bounoer to the door of the hut
and. shading my eves with mv hand, looked
earnestly toward the west, which was the
du action in whioh tbe dog was looking.
Presently the quick though muffled fall
of a h’-rse’s hoo.s became dietinctly audi
ble. I knew the eanter well; it was that of
Blackfo it, the epieudid riding horse belong
ing to Mr. Ashby,the owner of thestati n.
“Good afternoon, Jem,” he said in bis
usual pleasant manner. “Give me a light
for mv pip* * fl&ortsl to eat, for I must
be off again directly. Any new* going?
I.onflr Peter is n<| home yet, I.suppose.
“Ay, ibere thev oome,*’ swa toe master,

quite independent use. Bupper rooms, pan
tries &:.d serving rooms, retiring rooms for
ladies and ge. tienien and janitor’s quarters
are all provided on tbe ground floor.
Two tine stores occupy the corners on
Bull street, one of which is to be very
artistically fitted for Solomons & Co.’s
drug store, with separate prescription and
compounding rooms.
Upstairs on a level with tbe drill hall are
tbe oommodious quarters ot the Guards iu
their social aspecr. Lounging rooms, wide,
opeu fireplaces, finish and wainscot of an
tique oak," a library, airy loggias with out
look on Bull street, aud a visitors’ room are
upon the se oad floor, while in the third
story billiard and card rooms, committee
rooms, eto., fill out every requirement of a
city club.
The greet hall is open up into the roof and
modern ideas of beating and ventilation
have oeen carefully followed. There are
for several days, and they mean mischief,
too, for their women are not with them. I
hope yonr guns are in good order? Do you
want powder or lead?”
"VVe have enough of both,” 1 replied,
“but we nave only half a dozen bullets. I’ll
run them to-morrow.”
This I said with a flush of theme rising to
my cheek, for had not Peter asked me that
very morning to run tbe bullets?
Mr. Ashby did not seem to observe my
embarrassment, for he was standing at tbe
door impatiently waiting for Peter: be had,
however, heard my words, for he replied
immediately. “Don’t put off anything till
to-morrow, Jemi.fetch the mould, and get
the bullets run at once; then go to the water
bole and bring as many buckets full as you
can stow away in the but."
Even as he spoke Pster and his flocks ar
rived, the animals feeding quietly all tbe
way at mg. "Good evening, sir,” said Long
Pater quietly to hi* master, "i’ve had some
trouble with tbe beasts to-day; three are
missing. I found tbe body of one of them.
It had been speared.”
Scarcely were the words out of bis mouth
when a spear whizzed through the open
doorway and quivered in the wooden slabs
behind.
Had my two com pan i ots been as inex
perienced as I was all would now have been
coufusion and dismay, but both the master
and Long Peter were old cobnuts, and had
had more than one bru-h with (be natives.
They were both as cool as powible.
“ Bar the door. Jem,” said the shepard,
“and band me the powder flask and bullets.
Here, Bouncer, ksep to heel, good dog.”
With a feeling mure akia to agony than
I bad ever known before I handed tbe
powder-flask to my fellow s-rvaut, at the
same time telling him that I bad forgntton
all about the bullets aud that only half a
dozen remained on hand.
He just gave me one glance, partly Indig
nation, partly pity.
"Then we are all up a tree,” ha said;
“however, let us all do our best; two bullets
to each of us, Jem, and we’ll stand by each
other.”
The good old fellow 1 I saw by hfe face
that he felt (or me in the agony of rexmrse
that I was enduring and did not mean to
make it the the worse fer me by his re
proaches.
Meanwhile Mr. Ashby was coolly rsoan
noitering through the loopholes; be had let
1 down the windows, and was preparing far
action ai calmly as the shepherd. He
handed him two bullets, but be pushed
them hack; he bad a few of bis own.
“ Take them, take them,” he whispered;
“you will need them ail.” And wo did.
Bbddenly there was a change: thiee or
four of the sheep rose, looked all round,
stamped their feet, and huddled close to
gether. Something bad alarmed them,
some sight or sound as yet nnrevealed to
our blunter faculties.
Tbe next moment a loud report rang out
into a thousand echoes. Peter bad fired
the first sh t, a shrill death scream follow
ing it, wi.ile we could dimly see the dark
figure of a man who leaped from bis ambush
aud fell like a clod to the ground.
“There, you are all right!" he added ex
ultantly, as both Mr. Ashby’s gun and mine
were fired at the same moment. “You have
each fixed your man, aud the others are
drawing off for a little. But, mark my
words, sir,” he added, “though they are
mortally afraid of our guns, they’ll And out
soon enough that our ammunition is run
ning short; then they will lire the hut, and
we are done for! Sir, I mean to gat Bouncer
to help us.”
“Tbe dog?’ asked Mr. Ashby, inquir
ingly. “Ia n’t understand. What oau he
do! They wiil certainly kill him If you let
him out!”
“So they will, if they can catch him,”
replied the shepherd, composedly, “but we
must take our chance of that, sir. If you
will write aline to tne bead station, telling
them wbat a fix we are in, I reckon that my
dog will carry ths letter there in less time
than a thoroughbred horse could do it. I
have taught him, sir, to fetch and carry,
little thinking that at some tirna our lives
might dspend upon him doing it. Please
writ# the letter, sir.”
“But will he go to the bead station with
it?” replied the master, who was busily
writing; “how oan you get him to under
stand !"
“Leave thst to me. sir.” replied Long
Peter; “the only difficulty I*. will the black
fellows wait long enough before they fire
the hut, so as to allow of help oomlngl It
is doubtful, but we can only try. We are
in God’s band, sir.”
Peter pulled away a half-rotten slab from
behind bis bunk, thus makl g a hole suffi
ciently 1 irgs for Houncer to <re*p through.
He then fastened the letter securely to his
collar, the noble animal giving now and
then a suppressed whine and trembling
from heal to t.iot with anxiety.
"Now go, gor.d dog,” he whispered. and
squeezing himself through tbe hole Bouuosr
sped away on tv-useless feet.
We listened Intent y for a few minutes;
O. how we listened, our faces blancned and
our limbs trembling! Had Houneer es
caved on his weighty errand without being
discovered! A sudden wild jabbering rose
on tbe night air, a rush of many fast, and
tbe next Instaht we dsteeted a yelp of
pain-
two galleries fer ladies or spectators one at
tbe westerly end, and the other in the north
east turret.
A rifle range Is projected at the easterly
endcf the lot, wh ch will bo made to do
double duly als->| for bowling a.leys when
not in use for rifle practice.
Tbe turrets ot the Charlton street wall of
the range will be loop-holed, to do good
service in commanding the whole side ot
the building if besieged by a mob iu troub
lous times.
A waiting room ii provided at the op
posite end ot the range, with connection to
tbe main building.
Flanking the main entrance on Bull street
are to be stationed, like sentinels, tbe
,Guasds’ two time-honored cannons.
It is expected to bave tbe entire building
under roof in about four weeks, aud its
completion ready for use will be reached
before April.
"They have surely speared him?” whis
pered Mr. Ashby.
But Long Peter turned on him almost in
anger. "No, sir,” he said, "he U just
scratched. He’ll doit yet, I know he will.”
“He must be quick, then,” replied the
master, "for those cursed savages have
struok a light somehow; they mean to burn
u$ out—look 1"
Our eyes were now Intently watching
from the loopholes tbe movements of the
black fellows, and we bad not watched long
till we saw a flaming brand whizzing
through the air, and falling upon the stringy
bark roof above our heads.
Another aud another Immediately fol
lowed, still it did not seem to us that auy
of them had taken effect.
“Carry up a bucket of water through the
trap-door and pour it upon the roof,”
whispered the master tome; “but take care
of yourself; don’t let them see yoj.”
1 did as 1 was directed, and thoroughly
drenched the roof, but while thus engaged
I heard a shout from below. It was Mr.
Ashby’s voice.
“Come down, Jetn: come quickly,” he
cried, and I rattled down tbe ladder with a
sinking heart.
Long Peter lay on the floor ot the hut,
white and gasping: a spear hail enteral one
of tbs loopholes and pinned him through
the thigh. In response to my groan of utter
dismay, he struggled into a sitting posture.
“Never mind me, Jem.” he said; “fight it
out to the last. Take my gun, there is one
charge in it yet; but first drag me Into that
orner.”
I obeyed in silence, handed him a panni
kin of colil tsa, and then took ray place by
Mr. Abb by’s side.
"Look out," he whispered. "I mean to
fire at the ringleader—that man with the
blazing log in his hand—l fear he has
already fired the roof. I hear It cracking,
but it scarcely matters now, tha end is not
far off. We are doomed.”
As he spoke these departing words Mr.
Ashby tired, his bullet bringing down the
man aim id at, who, with a mid soresoh,
fell to the ground.
There was a pause ef consternation after
this, and hurried talk among the savages
outside; then, with wild yells, tbe whole
force of tbe besiegers rushed on our little
garrison.
A moment’s surging round tbs door, then
it gave way with a crush. Mr. Ashby’sgun
swung on the crowd of savages with ter
riflo force, felling two of them like oxen.
1 I can scarcely describe what followed.
Dimly I seemed lo hear a loud hurrah from
the outside followed by the craok of rifles;
tken every sound died away into utter
Silence.
“Weil. I declare, yon have bad a bit of a
scrimmage, and here's poor Jem about done
for?’
It was tha voice of Jerry, dragging away
the dsad bodv of my assailant from off my
obett.
“No, I am not dead,” I said feebly
enough, "not even wounded, though hslf
choket with blood that is not my owq.
Where is the master? And, O, go and l<oii
after long Pster 1 He is terribly hurt, I
know.”
“The oilier chaps are attending to him,”
said Jerry, “and as for ths master, be says
be is all right, and won't own to a single
scratch; be is a game one, he is. W e’U have
you all carried to the home station afore
breakfastimo, see if we don’t.
"But you should have seen that dog of
Peter’s. Why. his fee:, was all skinned and
raw, and he had an ugly sr ear wound in
his shoulder, so that the letter was covered
with blood. We could scaroely make it
out. but we guessed quick enough that
there was something amiss and rams away
at once. We wer* just in time, Jem, my
boy.”
"Didn't I tell ye Jinuncer would do it?”
oried Long Peter, tn r ather a weak and
quivering voloe; “p<w old chap,” he added
tenderly, as tbe faithful brute rtinped across
tbe hat at the sound of ths shepherd's voice
and orapt close to his tide. “Thou and me
will never part, Bounoar, never, as long as
we live ”
And they never did till seven years later,
when, in extreme old age, Bounoer died end
was bur ied in a grave dug tor him by Long
Peter himself. ’
Asa preventive of ths grip Hood's Sarsa

MISTAKES OF THE MODERN GIRL.
One of Item Is to Scold Her Mother
In Places Public.
from the iVeic For* Press.
For pity’s sake don’t scold your mother In
public; it looks so!
She mey have offended your cultivated soul
almost beyond endurance and must therefore
be teverely repimanded, Lut wait till you
get home. Then take her to your private
apartment and tell her kindly (though of
course she must understand that there ts
no niusoiae about it) of just what misde
meanor she has been guilty.
It wa< in an up-town restaurant where I
had dropped tn for lunon yesterday. Op
posite me sat a young woman of 17
apparently, aud her mother, 'ihe young
woman was dretted in the extreme of
fashiou, and that her little turued-up nose
sniffed tbe a.r at all appeared purely a mat
ter of condescension on Its part. Her man
ners bore the stamp of Mnie. Highfalutin’s
“finishing school for young ladies.”
Ths ILtle plainly, rusttly dressed mother
carried a black hag such as w omen in Bos
ton aro addloted to. They bad been shopping.
I should say they were people who had
lived in some little town, that the father
bad prubably earned his living by hard
work and that the mother had dune at least
her share of the skimping in order lo give
tbe young lady that elai orate venteenug
which is deameed essential to the girls of
tbe day.
That tbe young thing had learned, besides
reading, writing and antbinelic, the art ot
making herself thoroughly disagreeable and
other people uncomfortable, was evident at
a glauoe. Her ra itber, wb > would bava
been quite at home in a country parior,
was quite out of place here. Ths conscious
ness of it need not have been forced upon her,
however, if her stripling daughter had
been possessed of more heart and less style.
Tbe young rndy’s fuss over the ordering of
the lunch was trying to tbe beholder, and
she took great care that all other lunohers
present should be “beholders.” Ths card was
mostly writteu in French, and the mother
was to intimidated by the agility of ber ele
gant daughter’s tongue that she plunged
about a little wildly aud indicated that she
would have some of '‘that” when tbe sedate
attendant indicated that he would listen to
her wishes.
This annoyed the young lady so that she
snatcued the card from her mother’'! band
and ordered the entire lunch her-elf. It
turned out to be a regular school girl affair
aud tbe mother only took of it an occa
sional nibble.
Tbe youug person talked very rapidly while
masticating ber food. Hhe frequently asked
her mother questions, but never waited tor
an answer.
I left|tbe restrauaunt soon. Ths fingers of
my strong right band were tingling to en
counter in some private apartment this
young heathen and toapply some “fl ishing
touches” where they would do the mutt
good.
Do such young women expect to make a
good impression upon thinking people by
snubbing their mothers because their
tontrues haven’t been trained to cut up
French didoes f
Don’t they know that by cheerfully ex
plaining city or oilier ways tnsir mothers
don't understand they will gain the respect
of any people whose regard is worth accept
ing?
Tbe only thing 1 have against the mothers
who let their ungraieful young daughters
make them so misers la is that they don’t
give them a good licking.
The lady graduate of a finishing school
or a cooking school is she who makes other
people comfortable.
It Was a Cold Dey.
They were telling cold weather stories in tbe
Wiilard lobby the other evening, says the Wash
ingtou Pot , and the sympathetic thermometer
had already fallen P or 6°, when an old-time
Washington merenant co i menced ca tbe cold
snaps they used to bave before the war He
said that one night he left a very fine , lece of
la o bangipg across hts show window The
night was very cold, and on coming do* n to his
store In the morning he found that th- frost bad
rsproduc i tbe lace pattern exactly on his win
dow pane.
“That's nothing,'' said a fat man as be threw
away his cigar stub “I used to se'-p a grocery
store,, an one cold night 1 left a box of corn
starch and a can of condensed milk on the win
dow-sill. Well, kext morning, gentlemen, the
frost had r produced a plate cf ice cream oo
the window with a tin spoon sticking out at the
top.”
Just a few years ago a sharp-nosed, bright
eyed you g man used to haunt tbe second
hand book stores of this city, says a writer id
tne Cincinnati Times Star. He would bit aud
eagerly devour all tbe cheap n vets, b ood and
thunder Stones, etc., eipoesd tor sak. ne
day he aaiordaned an old bookseller wnom be
found read ur an Interesting etc,i y by informing

was writing for Hie we->ly storr pepers of
New York city. The other day cams the nw.

company and wrote about 109 continued stones
