with • check callin. for 77.i cents made his
way to the tasttet's .leek He banged
down the check with a battered *dyer dollar

The rasluer picked up the piece of money
and e•.n.!ned 11 suspiciously. it had •

customer spike "It is very painful for me
to part with that dollar. it sexed my life

the siege of Vicksburg I carried it in my

made •bv a bullet, which otherwise would

to ler it go, but 1 utast -I have Dotting

The cashier was plainly interested. "la
what year was the siege etVicksburg!" he
sewed.

"And this dollar." returned the smellier,
"la dated 1'T7, is u counterfeit." •
The sad man Ir,eked aanoytd. " of

And the cashier was so dumbfounded
that he passed oat a quarter is change and

Such qualities come naturally to many

On the opening day, according to acor-
reipondent of American Gardening, the
most attractive seethe's were Australia's
and Japan's, and probably their hold on
public attention will not be rivaled by
any indoor horticultural exhibit. Both
are large, and each in its own way is
novel. Australia has more strange and
interesting plants than any °Huey sec -

ton. and they have leen so well placed
that their merits and peculiarities are
marked at the first glance. while their
ve.-iety and beauty are enhanced by
their excellent arrangement. Among
ti e larger plants a number of Mscrosa-
i.ie spiralis divide attention with the
greet fcrus. This plant strikes the lay-
man as leekiog like a crura between s
pineapple and a palm. The uative name
of bnrrawaug wands very much as the
plant looks -somewhat peculiar, but not
at all displeasing.

cupied by an old fashioned Japanese gar-
den ..ad includes three sections. First
is the garden with dwarfed trees, ever -
gr• etee maples and .others, contorted

out which even a modern Japanese gar-
den is incomplete. The eecond division
inclr.des decorative and pictnreegne fea-
tures, while in the third 1s shown the
Japanese habit of blending the useful
with the ornamental.
A striking feature of the Trinidad ex-
Lil•it is the giant bamboos. Two of
these gigantic fishpok's are each about
63 feet high. and in shipping them they
hail to be Lashed to the mast of the ves-
sel. They were cnt close to the ground,

The largest and most attractive fruit
di:play is that made by California in
citrus fruits, although nothing astonislicr
the visitors so much as the remarkably
exhibits from Idaho, Utegon and Wash-
tngton. One soon discoeera, however,
that the fruit diaplays, with the excep-

their eggs and seems to give new life to
the whole plantation. Of course the ma-
terial bnrnt.l should net be each as to
make too bet a fire, but enough to run
lightly over tho whole bed. Those who
intend setting a new bed and are expect-
ing to take runners that start from the

lizer is better than even well rotted barn

plants that have once borne, and when
they have borne two crops it will be bet-

however. it is a still better plan to start
a new bed in new soil.
Gypsy Meth.
There has been a meeting of the state
entomologists of different states upon
the section of the country infested by
the gypsy moth. Professor H. T. Fer-
nald, state entomologist of Pennsylva-
nia, says the tnetltods used thus far are
as good as any he could suggest and de-
clares that the gypsy moth cannot be
exterminated by parasites, as there will
always be some to escape the parasites.
and few insects will mean few parasites.
In this opinion he is supported by Pro-
fessor J. B. Smith, who holds the same
position in New Jersey. Profeeesr J.
A. Linter, the stab entomologist of New
fork• has more faith in the cultivation
of the parasite and placing them in lo-
calities where the insects most abound.

Threw cases, very stadia: and My
unusual, have crept into the polies rn
porta of New York in the apace oft tour
weeks. Taken as irotatod facts, they
were rad enuugh, but as straws, showing
which way the wind of custom blows,
they were of startling significance.
'1'1to chief figure in each of those oases
was a wean= of education, culture and
peition and of snticteut beauty and
wunuanliutw to win love. Yet at the
head of each pitiful tale was written the
word -drunkard!
The mysterious ease of Minnie Porter
was the first. She was taken from the
Everett House, where she was suffering
from the effects of a prolonged debauch.
She died to Bellevue hospital without
regaining sufficient consciousness to
make any atatemeut. The second was
the case of Mrs. Bruce Crane, the wife
of the artist. She was bronght into the
police court in a state of intoxication.
Her husband accompanied her and broke
down completely as he told the story of
his ineffectual efforts to reform her.
She was scut to some institution. The
third woman was Mrs. Frank W. Palm-
er, who was found dead In her room

wealth and luxury, had been carefully
educated and had lend the choir and
played the organ in an Episcopal church.
Mures such cases, sur fuliuwing dose
upon the heels of another, wupld sem
to have come unnewil .ignificance. Did
they indicate that th'-re is an inert fugue of
drinking and drankeunees antuug wom-
en? If so, what is the cause?
In the first place, there itt such an in-
crtaae. This fact was qut-sttontd by
surae of the sources of infofmatien con-
sulttxl, but it ie prowl by the reports of
Bellevue hospital as well as by the police
recr.la The register at Beilevueshowa
Celt its laeas the number of female alto -
Lone path -ate was 873; in 1489 thele were
1.102: in hese, 1,0228; in l$91,1,1:71,and in
leti2. 1,211. Thus there was an increase
of 336 canes, or abont 37 per coat in four
yaws. Of course there was a definite in-
crease in population during the same
time, but the ratio was tar less than that
of the advance in alcoholism.
These reports .how another interest-
ing fact. Of the 8:3 cases in 1leti only
1.1 were fatal, while of the 1,211 cases in
Vale: there were 53 who died in the Los•
pit:tl. This shows that the fatal cases
were more than trebled clnriug the period
when the admio.iona inereased only 37
per cent. Drnnkeut:.ss is therefore not
only much more general amung women,
but the vice is also becoming more de-
strnct ive in ata cooaequences.
As for the cense of it all. one man says
it is an accompaniment to the increased
laxity of morals in cities, particularly in
New York. Atwther says it la because of a
lack of religion., sea tintent in the commn-
nity-two answers which spell the same
thing. Another says, and yet others, that
it 1s became this is a luxurious age, and
the people who have acquired wealth are
lining, at a homestretch gait, and alcohed
is the whip that helps them keep the
race.
However that may be, the serpent
which, according to tradition, ludas in
the bottom of the Winettl.rw, has appar-
ently begun a m'r„lel temptation of Eve,
and Er., alas! seems iuclined to listen as
she did of old. -New York San.

People often sing, "Where Is My Wan-
dering Boy Tonight?" tat the truth is
when the parents went to church or the
temperance meeting this "wandering
boy" also left horae and joined his age, -
elates on the street corner. The par'•nts

"Down with the saition!" while they ire
giving their boy fall liberty to do as he
plonnee. And he generally lives up to
his privileges. This is one phaco of a
large subject, and it is a phase which
should be looked squarely in the Lace.
However ar ieut parrots may be in sup-
porting
upporting the cause of temperance, they
may by their very neglect, by their
shortcomings► in home training, help to
foster the liquor traffic. Their plain and
manifest duty is to nip the evil its the
bud by wise and careful training of their
boys in all that is excellent and lovely
and of good report. In the work of tem-
perance reform every one must build
