Greatest Flower-Market In tbe World,
The greatest fiowcr-mart in tbe
world is the fnmous Covent Garden
Market in London, and to catch a
peep of this center of activity at
Kastertime is a revelation. This
flower headquarteri for the world’s
greatest city was established about
three quarters of a century ugo in
a most modest manner. Now it
occupies a vast glass-roofed brick
building. This immense structure
divided into hundreds of seper-
at Atkinson Saturdy.

There is nothing more fascina
ting to a girl than a cooking-class.
Do not have your class too large.
Six is about the right number.
Get some good woman who is fa
mous ns a cook for the instrutor,
and have one lesson a week. You
will find among your friends wo
men who will gladly give this help
to a class of intelligent girls. A
good way to begin is by a course
in bread-making. Quite as valua
ble are lessons in roasting and
boiling meats, and preparing and
cooking vegetables, it is said
that notone co »k in twenty knows
how to properly boil a potato.

Jewels, cundy, dowers, man—
that is the order of a woman’s pre
ferences. Jewels form a magnet
of mighty power to the average
women. Even that greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous efforts to make or
save the money to purchase them.
If a woman will risk her health
to get a coveted gem,then let her
fortify herself against the insidu
ous consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by the
regular use of Dr. Boschee’s Ger
man Syrup. It will promptly ar
rest consumption in its early stages
and heal the affected lungs and
bronchial tubes and drives the
dread disease from tho system
It is not a cure-all hut it is a cer
tain cure for coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get

CHINESE WASTE PAPER.
Every Scr.l. WMb a Prln.r.l Ch.r.c-
,,, Upon H I- S.errd,
You ivlll never find upon tUe street
or in the rubbish heap a norop of pa;
1M . r with Chinese characters written
or printed iqion It. An Intelligent
Chinaman, questioned af to the rea-
E 0„ explained the matter In this nay.
-jfeifean man never tears up and
flows in allot his Bible or hymnbook.
Chinee tiling all same to Chimiman as
Melfcatt man’* Bible.”
’ Then ho still farther elucidated the
mystery by leading the way to the eel-
I,;, of „ liace street house, In which,
piled up before a gigantic furnace,
were bundle* of paper and sacks of let
ters and newspapers printed ia Chi'
uese hieroglyphics.
Interpreted into plain English tlieola
Chinaman's story was that the orien
tals regarded the written characters
ns so sacred that this furnace was es
pecially set apart, after being blessed
by tlie priests, for the incineration
nil Chinese letters and documents.
So sacred indeed was the Chinese
writing regarded by tho orientals that
the most compromising letters of the
highbinders and the private corre
spondence of families were left with
confidence in the care of the furnace
attendant, it being perfectly well
known that lie would not risk his im
mortal soul by committing the deadly
sin of prying into correspondence com
mitted to his care to be given to the
flames.
Nor does the oriental regard the Chi
nese writing as safe from the hands of
the In lit lei even when every scrap of it
has been reduced to ashes. After the
paper lias been burned the ashes are
carefully collected, and when enough
has accumulate . to make a load they
are shipped ou board a boat belonging
to the Chinese .Merchants’ eompnny f
by which society all such matters are
managed, and taken to sen, where they
are scattered over the surface of the
ocean.
To tlie Chinaman it Is horrifying to
see the white man’s newspapers used
for wrapping purposes, his letters s
scattered around the streets to be
walked on and his old hooks flung
around when read as though of no
more sacrcdness than old boots. A
letter, an envelope, the printed slips
extolling the virtues of preserved gin
ger or the characters that advertise
a laundry for sale become, after their
usofulness has passed, ns sacred ns
the gilded ornaments that add to the
glory of the Joss.
One rnnn is employed in Chinatown
to collect the waste paper. He calls at
the stores and the rooms and gathers
it up with the utmost care, tying it in
sacks so that not a shred shall escape.
With ills sacred burden he goes to the
furnace room and hands the sacks to
the important personage in charge
there, who stows it away ready for the
next burning day. Twice a week the
furnace is lighted and the sacks of pa
per solemnly committed to the flames,
with many incautatlous.—Philadelphia
Record.
How He Proponed.
no wished to propose to the girl of
his choice, but he was nervous. First
he thought of the old romantic style:
“By my halhlom, fair one, I would
fain take thee for my bride. Say thou
wilt he mine, and ere the sun gilds the
turrets of yonder castle the friar shall
unite us In holy bonds.”
In the face of the prevalent rage for
dramas of the olden style, this form
seemed satisfactory. Being on eminent
ly modern young man. however, he
thought again and determined to test
the theatrical mode.
But Just at that moment the fair
Mary tripped Into the room, and he
blurted out:
“Er—M a ry—er—wi 11 y ou—er—well”—
But Mary was far from being con
trary. ‘‘Oh, that’s all right, George,”
said she, “I know what you mean.
Why. of course. I will. Papa will be
delighted.”—New York Herald.

Among all people the sucking of the
ound has ever been considered tbe
most effective remedy of immediate ap
plication for snake bites. In Africa a
cupping instrument is employed In
emergencies of the kind to draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol
lowed the same methods, and when Ca
to made his famous expedition through
the serpent infested African deserts ha
employed many savage snake charm
ers, called psylli, to follow the army.
They performed many mysterious rites
over men who were bitten, but the effi
cacy of their treatment appears to have
consisted in sucking the wounds.
