#? ??? 1 I FLOWER PICKERS OF GRASSE. j The peasant women and girls of Grasse. in the south of France, arc kept employed in picking and sorting flowers for perfume. Grass? being tlia centre of that industry. Violet gathering begins in March; jessamine, orange blossom, rose and tuberose in May; the mignonette in August, and the cassia in September. The work of picking is done between 5 and 11 o'clock in the morning, the remainder of the day being spent In sorting and , picking apart the flowers. The per- j fume making begins with spreading the petals upon layers of pure lard that covers plates of glass, and the flower layers are renewed three or four times before the fat has become thoroughly saturated with the perfume. This perfumed lard is the "pomade" of commerce, out of which are made extracts and fine pomades. Self-Importance.

"I saw in the Star not long ago, Copied from a New York paper," said a lady living near Greeley, Pike County, Pennsylvania, "a story about an apple tree blossoming in October, and the fatal results of it. The story was tcld as coming from a man, and he said that, an apple tree at his home had blossomed ten years before in October. and shortly afterward his wife had died. It. had not blossomed again in October for several years, and then within a month his mother had died. Then there was another lapse, and when he told the story, which was about the first of October, the tree was fcgain in blossom, and he was greatly i amturoea as 10 wusi mus ^yiag j happen next. Well, that story was ; mine, and the reporter put it in the ! name of a man, because I didn't want ! to appear in it. Two weeks after I had told the story to a party of friends in which the reporter was, I went back home, and within a week tho house took fire &ftd burned to the ground. It was so sudden that' we barely managed to get out with our lives, and our chief articles of apparel were bathrobes and blankets, ft was a country placd, and We had no means of putting cut the fire, so everything was lost. The only consolation we have is that the fatal apple tree stood so close to the house that it was burned to a crisp, and it, at least, will never again be the messenger of bad luck, however much other trees may bring with their October blossoms." ?Washington Star. # Success.

Moore, the President of the Good Roads Department of the National Good Roads and Irrigation Congress, recently visited Washington, where he went as the Chairman of a committee to obtain Federal action In behalf of good roads. Mr. Moore said That the committee had been successful in its mission, which was to obtain an application for an appropriation of $150,000 "or the eflice of road inquiry in the Department of Agriculture. The object of the oflice is to educate the farmers so that they will recognize the necessity of good roads. Last year J its appropriation was only $14,000. j The committee called cn Secretary | "Wilson and presented its plan, which i is that the Department shall construct ; a mile of model road in every State i in the Union. Mr. Wilson indorsed j the project immediately and made the , necessary recommendation for the ap- j propriation in his report. The com- , mittee also called 011 the President! I who showed a lively interest in the j plan and said that it had his hearty j approval. Mr. Moore is convinced that ! the President's influence will be used j to bring about the appropriation. "Mr. Moore has already obtained the in- j dorsement of more than two hundred ; Senators and Congressmen for the appropriation. The plan advocated by the Congress at which Representatives of thirtyeight States were present, is that a nnortor milf? nf mnrlfd rnnd shall bo vl""4 ^ -built by the Federal Government in lour parts of each State. At the same time the thirty-five State Legislatures that meet next year will be asked to ad.opt good roads legislation, and Mr.. Moore is drafting three bills to submit to thein. He intends to appoint a Representative of the Congress io every county in the nation who shall have power to appoint township representatives, so that there will be a thoroughly organized good roads srmy at work all the time. Mr. Moore has convinced Senator Piatt and Senator Depew of the propriety of the plan. He has a letter from Stuyvesant Fish,. President of the Illinois Central Railroad, in which Mr. Fish says: "I do not know much about irrigation, but I do know that the absence of good roads is costing the people of this country annually about as much money as they pay for all the freight transported by all the railroads." A National Organization. "The number of States interested in the Interstate Good Roads Association has increased to such an extent that the time has come to make it a national organization." said Martin Dodge, Director of Public Road Inquiries at Washington. About thirty States in the Union already have been organized either as independent associations or as branches of the Interstate Association. "In 1S93 Congress appropriated $.10.000 to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to carry on the work of gathering and disseminating information as to the construction and maintenance of public roads. Appropriations of $8000 for the same purpose were renewed annually afterward until that year, when it was increased to $14,000. "A further increase will be sought, and it is my intention to enlarge the work by adding to the didactic method of teaching the object lesson method, whereby object lesson roads shall be built in every State as rapidly as possible. Such object lesson roads already have been built at Doylestown. Penn.; -Port Huron, Mich.; Saginaw, Mich.; Topeka, Kan., and elsewhere. "This work will be continued in the Northern States as soon as the weather will permit During the winter seascn the work will be carried on to the exteht of our limited means in the Southern States. "A laboratory will soon be established at Washington under the direction of Dr. Wiley, chief chemist in the Agricultural Department, for the purpose of testing, chemically and mechanically, all suitable road building materials. What we need is an appropriation by Congress of an amount of money whieh will enable this work to be carried on in a manner some what commensurate with the size and needs of the country." Unique Plan to Improve Roads. The Board of Supervisors of Orange County, N. Y., has authorized a $200,000 bond issue for the purpose of road improvements. The action was taken on the recommendation of Assemblyman Louis Bedell, who stated that bis plan for road improvement would cost the county nothing. Briefly outlined it is as follows: The Orange County Road Improvement Association, which Mr. Bedell represents, has induced the State Engineer to make an estimate which would cost $2000 per mile, to be operated under the Higbie-Arm strong law. Four per cent, bonds of this county | to the amount of $200,000 could be sold at a premium of eight per cent., which would give $16,000 to establish a sinking fund. The State will pay half the cost of construction, whica will make $400,000. The Road Improvement Asscciation will give a bond to do the work at ten per cent, profit. This amount, $10,000, will be added to the sinking fund. The railroads of the county have agreed to pay half the cost of abolishing grade crossings, about $7000, which, also placed in the sinking fund, will bring the total to $63,000, and this amount in thirty years will pay off the bonds at maturity. Baggage Rules in Greece. Consul McGinley reports to the State Department from Athens: "The Greek health authorities require that all trunks, packages, etc.. the personal { baggage of travelers, when unaccompanied by their owners, must, on arI rival at any port in Greece, be accompanied by a certificate of origin or a certificate from the health authorities of the port from which the baggage was shipped to Greece. As ignorance of the foregoing rule has caused many American travelers delay and troubie in regaining possession of such baggage, and as thousands of Americans annually visit Atlums and others parts of Greece, this information should be published widely in order that they may come prepared with the necessary certificates to release their baggage without delay.?The Express Gazette.

I [ HE FOUND THE ROLL UNDISTURBED The Little Broker's Marvelous Tale of Human Honesty. Somebouy in a group back of the Cotton- Exchange told a story about the miraculous recovery of a lost i "watch, and that, of course. Set the ball ! rolling.. As usual in such cases, the I next man capped the incident by a still ! more astonishing experience, and { finally it was "passed up" to a quiet ! little future broker, who had been lisj toning without comment. "I never , had but one adventure of that kind in | my life," he said modestly, "and I'm afraid it's hardly worth telling. It happened in this way: One afternoon last spring I went down to the postofiioe to resistor a letter, and. before going to the window, I stopped at the : public writing desk to put the address ; on the envelope. I had a bis fat roll ! of bills in my hand at the time and ! laid them down on the led.se, beside : the ink well. I don't recall the exact j sura they represented, but it was I large?up iuto the thousands. I was | in a great hurry and very much preoc| cupied over another matter, and when I finished the address I rushed off to the registry alcove, forgetting all about I the wad on the desk. After that I everything seemed to conspire to di| vert my mind. As I was leaving the i building i bumped into our nurse girl, j who was hunting for me frantically ! with a message that the baby had the croup end would I please send the doctor at once. I found him, finally, and then met ray partner, who had a transI fer to be signed immediately before a notary. To make a long story short, fully two hours had elapsed before I suddenly remembered about the roll of bills. It flashed through my mind like a shot, and at the next instant I had whirled around and was sprinting for the postoffice like a madman. Of course. I had no hope of finding anything more than a clue, and when 1 tore up to the desk and saw the roll lying almost exactly where I had left it X could hardly believe my eyes. I grabbed it and counted the bills. Not one was missing. That, gentlemen, occurred in broad daylight, at the busiest part of the afternoon, and in a place where hundreds of people were continually passing to and fro. I will leave it to you whether the incident was not somewhat remarkable." "Was the wad in plain sight?" asked one of the listeners, after a pause. "Yes. sir," replied the little broker, "and I afterward learned that it had been picked up and examined by a number of different people." "Very strange," remarked a rice man, ironically; "the bills were genuine, I suppose." "Certainly," replied the little man, "but I forgot to mention that they were unreceipted.','?New Orleans Times-Democrat. WORDS OF WISDOM. A precedent embalms a principle. Learning make a man fit company for himself. It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. The cornerstone of education is laid on the tombstone or ignorance. He takes the great ornament from friendship who takes modesty from It. Such is the constitution of man that labor may be said to be its own reward. In the garden of humanity the weed too often takes prominence of the flower. Better skin a carcass for pay in the public streets than be idly dependent on charity. Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one less rascal in the world. Young men of ability who are not afraid to work hard for success will find no serieus obstacle fh their path to-day. Never judge by appearance. A shabby coat may cover a millionaire, while a stylish and good-fitting one may make a thief look respectable. The only way to make the mass of mankind see the beauty of justice is | by showing them, in pretty plain terms, the consequence of injustice. What a blessing is a friend who can relieve thy cares by his conversation, | thy doubts by his counsels, thy sadness by his good humor, and whose ! very look gives comfort to thee. Shooting an Elephant. "Sir Roger," the big elephant of the Scottish Zoo in Glasgow, war- recently shot owing to his having shown signs of vieiousness. The great animal was confined in a specially-constructed cage of iron bars and heavy wooden beams. A considerable number of - i j ----1 Ai* ? spectators wunesseu me cictuuuu, which was carried through by a party of five, comprising two sergeants of the Royal Scots Fusiliers, a city gunmaker and two assistants. They were armed with special rifles and ammunition. The animal stood quietly with his hciad protruding from the opening in his cage. At the signal to fire the reports of the five rifles rang out simultaneously. The elephant stood without making the slightest sound or motion for two or three moments. Another volley was discharged, and his head dropped a little on to the beam at the bottom of the aperture. He then slowly sank on his side and died.?London Globe. Great Flocks of Duck?, It is a known fact that the greatest flight of ducks known for years swept down the Mississippi Valley last fall. The Houston Post tells of the destructiveness of the web feet to the rice fields of that part of Texas. In one night flocks swept down on a field of about ten acres that had been shocked up, totally destroying the grain. They tore the shocks to pieces, scattering the straw and cereal all over. What they did nor eat they put out of use. Nightly the ducks come by the million to feed in the rice country, and it is no trick at all to spend an hour or so just before dark'and kill a wagon load of the finest ducks that fiy to the coast.

I "Only a few in the garrison had l known that the order to our senior : lieutenant was not wholly unexpected, t j The colonel's family had guarded well c [ the secret. . .* * * The cere- 1 ! mony, with all its features, was so c picturesque and so unlike those we i hare seen in civilian life. On the af- * ternoon of New Year's day blue-Coated ( soldiery walked with formal tre&d u# and down the walk which led from the colonel's quarters to the chapel. At 1 the former place a national flag al- < most hid the little veranda, which ; was transformed into a bower of flow- : i ers and foliage, for the day was warm ! i and dry, as if Nature, too, smiled upon * the occasion. Soft rugs carpeted the \ walk to the gate, and there the bridal J party formed after the guests had " been received. A tiny girl and boy tastefully gowned formed a fair advance guard for the party, aiid scattered flowers on the way from the Southwick home to the chapel. The clocro ti-oo n nf fprns unrt in thp center was a small silk American flag. Here and there on the walls of the chapel were military ensigns and guidons in beautiful colors, and a portiere of flags hid the balcony, behind which a stringed quartet struck sweet strains. "The ceremony was performed In front of the stage, and the solemn words of the ritual Were spoken to the strains of the hidden music. Through the ribboned aisle the bridal procession retreated and marched to the colonel's home. The regimental band played in welcome, and squads of soldiers stood in attention about the lawn, while Mr. and Mrs. Knox, beneath the national ensign, received congratulations before refreshments were served, THE STYLES OF HAIR DRESSING. It is reported by some foreign authority on fashions that dyeing the hair is entirely out of style, dark, natural tints being the mode once again. Change in the way of doing the hair is one of the great secrets of success In dress, providing the style is always in harmony with the shape of the head and contour of the face. There is an evident effort to lower the chignon to the nap-of the neck, but this mode is hot readily accepted by all women, so for the present the hair is arranged high on the head for evening dres^ and a little below the crown for or dinary wear. Many young girls adopt the iow style of hair dressing, which is very pretty with the new gypsy hat. Another point in fashionable hair dressing is bringing the locks well down on the forehead, either parted at one side or in a soft pompadour falling over the ears. The decorations are the varying point in hair dressing for evening, and anything between diadem diamond combs and a simple rose seems to be permissible. Diamond pins in circles, crescents and oblong shapes are worn at the back with a comb above and side combs and an ornamental bow in addition. In fact, this craze for decoration is so often overdone that the later fancy for one or two roses is & pretty relief from the barbaric tendencies of the day. .The new gold roses are charming in the dark hair, and some of the colors are quite as beautiful.

Th cultivation went down for seven reasons, among them the fear of com petition with the outdoor grown En ropean grapes from California, tL injury to the roots by the phylloxer and the difficulty of getting the intel ligent labor to manage the vine prop erly. It is clear, however, that n more fear of competition with tfc California product need be feared tha with the Spanish grapes that come i barrels of cork dust from the 01 World. These are very good in the way, and will usually bring remunerc tive returns, though the figures t small.
