Senator McPherson, of New Jersey, is
reported to be preparing to take an active
part in the current campaign. The polit
ical movements of his hired girl have es
caped the reporters.
Gen. Antonio Ezeta, immediately upon
his release by tho courts in San Fran
cisco, went south to engage again in po
litical intrigues. He may have concluded
that engagements of that kind, even
though they endanger his head, are safer
than engagements of a social nature with
American beauties as the parties of the
other part.
John L. Sullivan has put the great
American public under obligations to h im.
He announces that at the end of the cur
rent theatrical season he will retire per
manently from the stage and take up the
avocation of a farmer. He is the owner
of a good farm. In future his ability to
knock-out will be devoted to stumps and
yearling calves.
An exchange notes, as an educational
item, that the University of Georgia will
have a Yale man to train the football team
this season. This addition to the faculty
will be appreciated by the students; at
the same time, for the benefit of the
parents interested, it may he stated that
the curriculum in other particulars will
not be cut down.
The democrats of Montana are to be
commended for having the courage of
their convictions. The state convention
refused to fuse with the populists, pre
ferring to fight for democracy rather than
offices. So long as democrats make prin
ciple, and not pelf, the aim of their ef
forts, so long will the party remain the
party of the people.
Dr. Eva Hardyg and Dr. Agnes Havi
land, of Topeka, Kan., moving spirits in
the woman's suffrage campaign, have or
ganized a campaign club that will be a
some w hat novel sigh t when on parade. The
club is to be uniformed. The uniform will
consist of Turkish trousers and a blouse
waist. The costume is to be worn all the
time, and not on political occasions alone.
The adjournment of the “straightout”
democratic convention of South Carolina
without making nominations was rather
surprising. It was announced in our dis
patches yesterday morning that the cau
cus had concluded to make nominations.
The convention reversed the action of the
caucus, and the meeting’s work was lim
ited to preparations for a fight two years
hence, to be made within party lines. The
decision of the convention was a triumph
for the conservatism that would rather
bear the ills it lias- than fly to others it
knows not of.
There cannot be much truth in the an
nouncement that the state democratic
campaign committee was startled yester
day morning by information furnished by
committeemen that the populists have or
ganized the blacks to vote solidly for their
ticket. If there has been much done in
the way of organizing the blacks, and the
committee has not been aware of it. there
has been a neglect of duty somewhere.
It is pretty safe to assume, however, that
the committee is well informed of all the
populists have done. It is well known
that they have been trying to organize
the blacks, but it is not believed they
have met with much success Home of
the blacks will vote the populist ticket,
but the number will not be large. The
blacks are not much interested in the pop
ulists.
It is pretty generally understood that
the Republican party is looking to New
York state this fall to furnish available
timber for a presidential candidate in
1H96. if the republican nominee for gov
ernor of New York should in November
carry the state, it would make him a
strong candidate for presidential nomina
tion honors. The Ht. Louis Globe-Demo
crat, a leader of republican public opin
ion. says that in nominating Levi P. Mor
ton for governor ‘-the New York repub
licans have thrown away all chances of
carrying off the prize in the national con
vention. Had a man like Joseph H,
Choate beens noifiiuatod New York
might have placed itself in a position to
command the party’s supreme favor two
years hence.” While objecting to Mr.
Morton as a presidential possibility, the
Globe Democrat finds no fault with him
as purely a state candidate.
Hill the Nominee.
Senator Hill will lead the democrats of
j New York this fall, and he will lead
I them to victory. His nomination creates
intense enthusiasm throughout the state.
Under his leadership the democratic
J ticket will poll a larger vote than it would
have polled under the leadership of any
other man. Tho factions will forget their
differences, and personal animosities will
disappear in the enthusiasm with which
the campaign will be conducted.
The ticket is a strong one. Senator
Hill, for governor, represents the Hill
faction. Hon. Daniel Ixickwood, for lieu
tenant governor, represents the Cleve
land democrats, and Judgo Gaynor, for
judge of the court of appeals, represents
the reform element of the party. The
ticket is skilfully constructed.
Senator Hill is confident of being
elected. He would not have accepted the
nomination if he had not been satisfied
that he would have the hearty support of
about every democrat of the state. With
a support of that kind.he can hardly be
defeated.
The party wanted Senator Hill as its
candidate because it belie.ed that with
him its success was sure, and there are
some grinds for thinking that he wanted
the nomination. No doubt ho regards it
as almost certain that he will be the
presidential candidate of his party in
1806 if he succeeds in gaining the governor
ship. Success in New York under exist
ing circumstances would direet the atten
tion of democrats in all parts of the coun
try to him as an available presidential
candidate.
His nomination gives the gubernatorial
contest in New York national importance.
There is no doubt that Mr. Morton, the
republican candidate, accepted the nomi
nation witn the view of being the next
presidential candidate of his party. Sen
ator Hill accepted the there
is good reason to believe, with the
same view. The one that is-elected
will stand a pretty fair chance
of having his ambition gratified. Each
party, therefore, will put forth its whole
strength. The contest will be a notable
one. The whole country will be pro
foundly interested in it.
Senator Hill is not popular in the Sen
ate. It is not believed that he is satisfied
there. The position offers him no oppor
tunity for paving the way to the presi
dency. He likes the life of an active pol
itician. It will be with no regret, there
fore, that he enters again actively into
state politics, having the presidency as
his goal.
Is Mr. Clay a Candidate?
The idea seems to be gaining a lodg
ment in tho minds of the people through
out the state that Mr. Clay, the chairman
of the state democratic committe, has his
eye upon the United States senatorship.
A number of the state papers have al
luded to the matter, but no one of them
has any information that justifies a state
ment that Mr. Clay indulges the hope
that he will be selected for senator.
He has certainly said nothing that would
justify a belief that ho will he
a candidate. Still, it is not improbable
that he has an understanding with in
fluential friends that he will be a candi
date in the event that no one of the
avowed candidates is quickly chosen
after the balloting begins.
In the upper part of the state Mr. Clay
is very popular, and his popularity would
extend to all parts of the state if tho ma
jority for the democratic ticket should
greatly exceed that of two years ago.
The success of the campaign would be at
tributed to his management, and there
would be a desire to reward him in an
appropriate manner.
It is not forgotten that he stepped aside
to let Mr. Atkinson make the race against
Gen. Evans for the nomination. Why he
did so has never been fully explained.
The Impression at the time was that he
would be a candidate for a high office at a
future time, and tnat Mr. Atkinson
would give him all the assistance in his
power.
If there should be a deadlock in the
senatorial contest Mr. Clay might come
forward for the senatorship. With the
assistance that Mr. Atkinson, as gover
nor, could give him he might be success
ful. However, these are speculations for
which neither Mr. Clay nor his friends
have given any ground.
M. Destree of Brussels is reported by
the New Y’orlt Herald’s cable service as
having noted anew symptom of pulmo
nary consumption. He has been led to
the conclusion that the unequal dilation
of the pulpils of the eyes, so often ob
served in consumptives, is symptomatic of
tubercular lesions of tho ganglia. When
the disease is in one lung the dilation is
observed on the diseased side, but when
both lungs are involved the result varies.
The inequality of the pupils observed in
consumption is absent in bronchitis and
pneumonia. The learned doctor, M.
Destree. noted the uneven dilation in one
case five years beforo the usual symptoms
of tuberculosis made their appearance.
Up in Massachusetts, where thero are
a great many more women than men.
they sometimes have tho queerest breach
of promise cases imaginable. A case in
point is that of a young woman who is
suing the estate of Dr. Henry J. Bigelow
lor $150,000 damages because the doctor
did not marry her. She says he promised
to marry her and she believes ho would
have done so if he had not died. But he
died, the contract was unfulfilled, and
the young woman wants damages. When
your Massachusetts girl iias a chance to
get married, she is going to get married,
or be paid for tho failure if thero is any
virtue in the law.
Tho great storm may have blown some
South Georgia democratic campaign ar
rangements out of shape, but it did not
blow one iota of party enthusiasm out of
the voters. If there are bridges down
and roads blockaded by fallen trees in
the country districts, tho democrats will
ford the streams and climb over tho logs
on their way to tho polls next Wednes
day.
The state press is practically unani
mous on the question of the adoption of
the proiiosed constitutional amend men t to
enlarge the state supreme court. Tho
reasons why the court should be increased
are so strong that they are unanswer
able.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1894.
An ex-Queen Wants Damages.
A San Francisco dispatch states that
an agent of the ex-queen of Hawaii has
arrived in that city on his way to Wash
ington. his purpose being to bring a dam
age suit against the United States for
&JOOJJOO for her benefit. She has evi
dently made up her mind that there is no
probability of a restoration of the mon
archy. and that if she can make anything
out of this country now is the time to do
it. It is understood that the basis of her
claim is the alleged support given tho
revolutionists in Hawaii by United States
Minister Stevens, and the captain of the
American cruiser Boston.
If such a suit should he brought the
question as to whether Minister Stevens
did aid in the overthrow of the queen
would be pretty thoroughly tested. He
has always contended that he took no
part whatever in the revolution. On the
other hand, it is stoutly asserted by
the friends of the ox-queen that
he did. and that if it had not been
for the moral support he gave the revo
lutionists the government of Hawaii
would still be a monarchy and the ex
queen would be on the throne.
The question that would be presented
by the suit is an interesting one. and
would become much,more interesting if all
the phases of it should be presented in a
sharply contested trial. It is pretty cer
tain, however, that it will be a very long
time before the ex-queen gets $200,000, or
any other sum, in payment for the loss of
her throne. Public sentiment would not
sanction the payment to her of anything
for her loss, and as long as the weight of
public sentiment is on that side the treas
ury will not be relieved of any of its cash
for the benefit of the ex-queen.
Rest From Tariff Agitation-
In his speech at the opening of the
democratic convention of New Y’ork, on
Hill said that while
the Wilson bill does not embody the full
measure of tariff reform which mauy
democratic leaders desired, and the coun
try anticipated, it is a safe, moderate and
reasonable tariff. He said further that
the country should understand that “any
general or extensive tariff revision is not
contemplated by the Democratic party
now, or in the near future.” He inti
mated, however, that, in his opinion,
there might be some further tariff legis
lation, in the shape of separate bills, in
order to carry out whatever other tar
iff pledges there are in the national dem
ocratic platform.
Tho republican press has insisted, and
still insists, that it is the purpose of the
Democratic party to continue reducing
the tariff until free trade is practically
reached. Senator Hill voted against the
Wilson bill because he objected to the in
come tax feature of it, and,also because
it is not radical enough to suit him in the
direction of free raw materials. He is,
therefore, well qualified to speak
of the purpose of the party in respect to
the tariff. His announcement that there
is no intention to make a further revision
of the tariff at present or in the near fu
ture ought to have a quieting effect upon
those who think that business of all kinds
is injured by tariff agitation.
A fair trial will be given the Wilson
bill. If its effects are satisfactory other
changes will be made in the direction of
free raw materials and freer trade. But
it is probable that the sugar schedule
will receive attention soon after congress
meets in December. There is very gen
eral dissatisfaction with it. There is a
belief that the sugar trust gets too much
protection. There is also a pretty strong
desire in the west to put sugar on the free
list. In view of the fact, however, that
the revenue from raw sugar is needed,
there is not much probability that the
sugar duty will be removed. But the
duty on refined sugar will likely be abol
ished. The sugar trust can refine sugar
as cheaply as it can be refined in any
other part of the world, and there is,
therefore, no good reason why it should
be given protection to the amount of
millions of dollars a year.
The readjustment of the sugar sched
ule, however, will not affect business gen
erally. The business world is steadily
adjusting itself to the new conditions, and
the prosperity of the country is steadily
increasing.
The Macon Telegraph agues that Mr.
Turner should be retained in the House
and Maj. Bacon sent to the Senate, be
cause that arrangement would mean "not
only a first-rate senator but a first-rate
member from the Eleventh—and first
rate members of the House are rare.”
Tn the last session of congress tariff re
formers—first-rate members from the
democratic point of view—were not
nearly so rare in the House as in the
Senate. There were first-rate members
enough in the House to pass a demo
cratic revenue tariff bill without any
trouble, but there were not men enough
of the Turner brand in tho Senate to save
it. There were first-rate members enough
in the House to put iron ore, coal, etc.,
on the free list after the Senate changed
the House bill, but there were not enough
Turners in the Senate to save the sepa
rate tariff reform bills. In view of Maj.
Bacon’s anti-tariff reform lotter, written
just after Mr. Cleveland's famous tariff
message, how can tho Telegraph under
take to say that ho is as good a tariff re
former as Mr. Turner, who has never
written any similar letter, but has been
always consistent in his tariff utter
ances !
There are already in the Senate too
many anti-tariff reformers and protec
tionists who are wearing the democratic
badge, and Georgia cannot afford to add
to that number. It is Georgia’s duty to
send to tho Senate a man who has never
been a protectionist, who has never op
posed tariff reform, who has never favored
subsidies, w’ho has never subscribed to
wild money schemes, who favors a dollar
for tho wage earner that possesses as
much purchasing power as tbe dollar of
the capitalist, and who has the ability to
influence legislation in the direction of
democratic ideas. And of the candidates
for the Senate now in the field, there is
no other one that fills tho bill so well as
Henry G. Turner.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Populism in North Carqliua.
From the Charlotte Observer (Dcm.).
We do not think it admits of a doubt that
the People's party of North Carolina is on
the decline. The rank and file are seeing that
they have been sold out 1 odily to the repub
licans. and many of them cannot be delivered.
They are not accustomed to being traded
upon, and they are not going to stand It now.
Moreover they realize that their leaders have
held out to them the hope of impossible
things—things which if they had. would ruin
them—snd are returning to the party which
gives them good ana safe government at
home and through which their Interests are
properly represented at Washington.
Balm, of Vinegar and Pepper.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal (IJem.)
The Courier-Journal delights to apply the
balm of truth to the aching bruises of its pro
tectionist, friends and it, therefore, calls
their attention to a recent announcement in
the London News which they may have over
looked while weeping over the democratic
decapitation of the tin plate industry by tariff
tinkering. A wealthy American iron and
steel manufacturer, now in England, said to
the News that he and others were about to
begin the manufacture of tin-plate in the
United states on a large scale. We are very
much afiaij there are a great many such dis
agreeable surprises in store for the republi
can prophets.
Democracy and Prosperity.

passage of the tariff law 1 have changed niv

our business for Augi st of this year Is Nf per
cent, greater than that of August of last year.
So we are very much inclined to say. Three
cheers for the Democratic party.' ” And
this's the evidence that is daily developing
in all parls of tho country. The revival of
business is simply unprecedented, and it fol
lows so closely upon tho heels of democratic
legislation correcting the thirty years of ad
verse republican legislation that it must in
evitably mure to tne credit of demoi racy.

Two Farmer* and a Horse Trade.
A man named Coomb *s was a recognized
authority on horses not only In a certain lum
ber region tn Pennsylvania, where he carried
on a brisk business trading and selling horses
and fitting out the lumbermen with teams,
but also in the adjacent county, which was an
agricultural district, he had gained a reputa
tion for shrewdness and square dealing, says
the N< w York Tribune When the county
fair was held in Septem ber he was on tin
spot. aDd \n front of the little store which he
made his head [carters th, re was always a
line of horses hitched to the fence, which the
owners had driven from different parts of the
county to be sold or traded, ac. anting to the
pleasure of Mr. ( oomtes. One day. as
Coombes was leaning against bis door post
discussing the merits of a promising J year
old with the enthusiastic owner of the animal,
a wagon entered the inclosure In front of
the shop and stopped at the door. A man
covered with dust, with a red face and a
wilted appearance, jumped from the wagou
and addressed Mr. Coombes: *
Weil, 1 am glad to see you. Mr. Coombes.
Business looks promising with you." looking
around at the horses on the grounds. "Per
haps I uni not dusty and hot and pe.hips I
don t think a deal of you to come twenty
miles In this woatner to make a trade with
you Just take a look at that off horse. He
Isa beauty, he is. ihere Isn’t another like
him in the country, but the fact is he is too
speedy for me l want a horse t'nSF will go
•Veil with the other horse—something not too
fast, something strong and steady."
Mr. Ocom: es showed much interest in the
matter, an i the farmer became more and
more convinced that he had acted wisely in
seeking his services. While they were talk
ing he saw Mr. Coombes' eye restlQ a dreamy
way on a pair of horses that were hitched
near the door. The instant ne saw the object
of Coombes attention he exclaimed. "Gad.
sir 1 think we have struck the very horse I
want, the off horse that bay there. Look
him over. If he Is sound and kind he will do
forme. I'll trade even. How does that strike
you?”
"I don't know." answered Coombes doubt-
"He is an especially tine animal."
"Well. 1 will throw In $lO. I will just step
over to the fair grounds, and you can think it
over."
Presently another man appeared, the owner
of the "especially fine animal.’’
"Have you found what 1 want?.’ he asked.
"1 must be getting home again. Twenty
miles belore dark."
" lake a look at this horse." said Coombes
pointing to the animal that the owner had
called "too speedy." "He Is just what you
want. Fast, lightly built and a good match
for your other horse.’’.”
"the farmer looked at the horse, compared
it with lus own horse, had it hitched up and
driven around the inclosure, and finally ex
claimed: "First rate; is it an even trade?"
"Throw in $lO and you can have him," an
swered Coombes.
It s a bargain.” said the farmer. He gave
Coombes tlo, and leaving Uis "especially fine
animal" he drove his other horse and its new
mate down the dusty street. When he hud
traveled about a mile one of the horses cast a
shoe and he was obliged to stop at a black
smith s shop beside the road. While he was
chatting with his old acquaintance, lhe black
smith, and waiting for the Shoeing to be com
pleted, he saw a wagou stop at the door, and
an agitated voice exclaimed: "Neighbor. I
want to know where you got that horse?"
pointing to the newly acquired animal. The
owner came out of the shop and answered
with pride: He is a fine piece of horseflesh,
ain't he - I made a trade with Coombes. I
rested on the off horse In his ueignet r s team
and he saw in it his lately discarded prop
erty
't he two men looked at each other.
"How much did you pay to boot?” asked
the man in the wagon.
"Ten dollars,” answered the other, "and
you?"
“Ten dollars."
They were ne ghbors: they lived a quarter
of mile from each other, and they drove tome
slowly, side by side, thinking, no doubt, of the
long twenty miles over the dusty road, of tho
510 of oach, and sometimes of Coombes.
Victim of His Own Joke.
One of the oddest characters that Chicago
has known was a blithe fellow named Horn,
says tho Chicago Inter-Ocean. They called
him “Pink" Horn. He boasted that he could
not keep money: ho declared that as he was
a horn he must needs "blow" himself. Itwas
this joke that allured him from his trade,
that of sign painting. After this he lived on
his wits. He was not known to be dishonest,
but to the man who lives by his wits there
tomes but few twinges ot conscience. Once
he made a reputation in anew direction. One
cold day he took off anew overcoat and
wrapped it about the shoulders of a thinly
clad negro woman whom he met in the street.
His companions marveled at this, knowing
t '*ii he had but little money, and lit reply to
their expressions ot suiprise. he remarked:
"My father was a slave owner tetore the
war. and an old black mammy brought me
up."
He always wore a flower on his coat, and
when the flower was a wilted one his acquaint
ances knew that he was hungry. He was a
man of courage. Once, in a playful mood, be
fought "Black Jack,” the commander of the
bumboat. and defeated him. and this was no
easy matter. His great fad was to investi
gate everything, and in this respect he be
came strangely curious toward the last. He
ha t a mania for gazing into the eyes of a dy
ing man. and often hung about the hospitals.
He used to say that he intended to see him
self die. Some ot his friends said that he was
losing his mind.
Weil, hard luck came, and he drifted away.
He went south and then Into the far west.
Ilutlie found no place to interest him. In
Deadwood he did all sorts of jobs, striving to
get back to Chicago. He said that he had but
a short while longer to live, and that it would
embarrass him to die away from home. He
came back and stood at out the corners, look
ing for his old friends, but found them not.
No one knew him.
"Why, you must have hearii of me," he said
to a man. "I ao Pink Horn."
"Never heard of von, sir."
"Why. I was here leforedhe llro.”
" i hat may be, but I never heard of you.”
"Didn't jou hear of the sport who took off
his overcoat one bliz. a 'dy day and gave it to
a black woman? "
"Oh yes, 1 believe I did bear of that. So
you are the man! Well, see you again, bo
long."
No one cared to talk to him. 110 strove to
joke, but his merriment was ghastly.
One night .a it week they took him up and
carried him to the hospital. And this is the
story they tell. He had been in bed two days
when a physician told him that he had but a
few hears to live.
■ Arc you sure, he asked.
"I am certain. If you have any arrange
ments to make you'd better make them."
"My lungs are about gone. I suppose?"
“Yes. practically.”
"Will you do me a favor?”
"Surely. What Is it?”
" Wed, i want to se) tnvsolf die.”
“I don't understand you."
"j. simple want to see how I look while
dying, i rop me up and put a mirror at tho
foot of the bed."
"Oh. that would be— f'
"You said you would do me a favor?”
"And 1 will.”
The doctor propped him up and a nurse
brought a mirror and placed it so that he
could gaze into it. And so they left him for a
time. He said that he desired to i e alone.
When they came l ack he was dead; his gaze
was wide and his glassy eyes mirrored the
mirror. W anted to see himself die! He was
an odd character.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Since grass growing has become a science
and an art you may hire a man to create a
lawn for you in a fifth of the time once thought
necessary for such a creation. Thick and
luxurious lawns are produced between spring
and autumn and a lawn of two years under
the modern forcing process may easily rival
one of five years under the old fashioned sys
tem. Artificial stimulants and abundant
water are responsible for the new order of
things.
The flash of lightning which recently struck
the new palace at Potsdam may be congratu
lated on a measure of tact and consideration
seldom seen in connection with the electric
fluid. Having greatly endangered the safety
of the royal building, tne current instantly
hurried along the telegraph wires to the fire
alarm and set the hells ringing. Thereupon
the palace firemen and the town brigade of
Potsdam were quickly upon the a >ot and the
fir? was nipped in the bud.
A few years ago a portion of the pavement
in Groswell road. London, was lifted out of

which was two feet one way by four the other

lifted out of place by the resistless growing
force of these soft, spongy fungi.

Dr. Hickman, a physician of the state of
Washington, has made the discovery that
man Is a laboratory of poisons. The human
organism, according to this new medical the
orv. may be poisoned by the products of its
own making. It has long been known that in
the normal process of digestion of ordinary
foods there are found at certain stages pro
ducts which, if thrown into the circulation,
will cause even death. The value of ur. Hick
man's researches is his hypothesis that this
self-infection is at the basis uf man’s so-called
"billiousness." The black bile of the ancients
may prove to be, after all. a home-made poi
son. Modern medicine may develop anew
field of progress similar to if not as large as I
that of bacteriology, and new relief may yet
te found bv weary mortals for many ills,
from the ordinary headache to the worst case
of blood poisoning.
A Canadian climber, the Physianthus
albens, has received the name of "Cruel
Pant." from its ill-treatment to butterflies
says Cassell's Magazine. It flowers In the
month of August, ar.d the butterflies, at
tracted by the perfume, hover round It in
large numbers and push their trunks into the
carollas to sip the honey. A pair of sensitive
vegetable pincers In the heart of the Bower

struggles to get free the butterfly hangs sus

the olant has nothing to gain by the death of
the insect, as it is not • carntrorous" like the

another Canadian plant, the Cntcus discolor

A chubby little boy, with several inches of
brown bare leg between the top of his stock
ing and the bottom of his knee breeches,
passed before the window of mv boo.ma'-er
on Broadway, says the New York Press. He
was led by his nurse and had evidently spent
a summer in the country. Be looked' like a
child who had been bora well and had been
taken the best of care of ever s.nce. My
bootmaker pointed him out mournfully and
thus expressed himself! "if that' child
doesn't die of consumption before he is
12 years old. he will grow up to be a gouty
young man. and probably die of apoplexy.
Nothing is worse lor a child of that age than
bare legs at any time, particularly In the au
tumn. That's the way fashion iciils off its
victims. Every child should wear boots. X
mean boots with legs on them, reaching up
nearly to the knee, and for the matter of that
so should every man. I have worn boot legs
all my life, both in summer and winter, and I
have also seen experiments made by turning
u draft of cold air upon the legs of men who
were asleep. The effect is the tame as it is
when a wet bandage is applied to the feet of
a sleeping man. it chills the stomach, con
gests the brain and generally disorganizes
the system. The man who wears high top
boots lengthens his life by ten years, and a
bare legged child is doomed to an early
grave.”
The tinting of flowers naturally white has
already been spoken of in these pages, and
now we have a little more to tell our readers
about the same subject, says an exchange. It
seems only natural that so purely
fanciful aa art should originate
among our French neighbors, whose
ingenuity is so well known. A author
ity tolls us a few of the secrets of the produc
tion of color in flowers and Iruit, and we men
tion them here for the benefit of any one who
may wish to try such a curious experiment
for themselves. It is said that to color
flowers through the stalks It is necessary to
put five grammes 1 1 gramme—ls grains) of
any coloring matter into a vessel which will
hold about ten grammes, to bruise ihc tip of
the cut stalk with a light tap with a hammer
and then to put the stalk Into the vase for a
greater or shorter time, according to the
depth of coloring require!. Two hours after
this contact with the dye the tinting of the
flower is accomplished. On taking the blos
som from the vase it is advsaiie to cut off
the bruised part of the stalk and soak the
flower for an hour or two in a vase of clear
water. To tint white bullous plants
till a vase with fifty grammes
of clear water and fifty grammes
of coloring matter, stir the mixture up well
then, after slicing the bulb with a nenknlfe in
one or two places and cutting off the tips of
the roots, leave it steeping in the tincture
until the flowers begin to to,or. J hen replace
