ORCHIDS GROWN AT HOME.
The Halo of Romance Surrounding
Some Regal Blooms Com
pletely Shattered.
if there is any popular fallacy
that I should love to puncture, if
is the amiable delusion that all i
orchids are worth a thousand dol
lars a pot, says a writer iu Coun
try Life in America.
Great was my surprise, some
years ago, when 1 met a suburban
ite of modern income who grew
orchids that were the talk of tin*
town in a lit t le 10x12 greenhouse.
As his wife was too much of an
invalid to look after the green
house, my friend watered the
plants every morning and adjust
ed the ventilators before he
caught the 7:5!) express for the
big city, and at night he came
home to see what had happened.
Usually no great disaster had be
fallen.
And in February, if you were
lucky enough to be invited to his
snug little greenhouse, while a
winter storm raged outside, you
would be likely to find some got*
geous catteyas, with perhaps 20
flowers on a plant and eachi'ow
fully eight or nine inches across.
You should have heard tin* la
dies exclaim: “How do you grow
these lovely orehids. Mr. II
“O. tin* kinds I cultivate areas
easy to raise as any other plants.”
“Hut don't you have to have a
special kind of house?”
“Not for these. You see, I have
other plants beside orchids.”
“Well, how does it come that
your greenhouse is so comfort
able? Don’t all t hose tropical or
chids need a hot, close atmos
phere?"
“Not the kinds that grow high
up on t lie mountains.'’
“lint I thought they nil lived on
flu* air, and hero you have some

“Vos, those lady slippers arc as

It lost his reputation. He was a
simple-hearted man who had early
fallen into a way of tellinp the
truth without thinkinp, and found
the habit hard to break after at

He came near shattering the
halo of romance with which these
ladies had invested the magic
word “orchid." which applies to
some of these regal flowers, at
least, that can be grown in the do
mestic greenhouse.
THE CREATION OF WOMAN.
Legend of the Orient Which Reflects
Much Upon the Dignity
of the Sex.
Here is the legend told among
the Turkish peasants, explaining
the origin of women, says the Los
Angeles Times.
Allah made First Man, then dis
covered that he was incomplete.
“I must make Woman,” said Al
lah. So lie sent for the Archangel
Michael, and said to him:
“1 find that Man is incomplete.
Go you to Paradise, and take from
Man one rib, and from that I shall
make Woman.'’
So Michael hurried to Paradise
and found First Man asleep, and
took a rib from him. Then he set
out on his return to Heaven. Hut
on the way he met the Devil, who
said:
“W'liat have you there, Mi
ehael
“A bone,’’ lie answered, “from
which Allah shall fashion Wom
an.”
“Let me look at it,” said the
Devil.
Hut Michael would not, where
upon tin* Devil tried to take it. and
the two fought for possession of
First Man’s rib. Finally the Devil
broke away and ran with the rib in
his hand. Michael gave chase,
and they ran around the world
several times.
Then the Devil saw a hole in a
rock and he dived in. Hut the hole
was too small, and lie stuck fast
inside, leaving only his tail out
side. Michael pulled the Devil's
tail to get him out, and the Devil
j yelled inside, but he couldn’t get
out. And, although Michael
tugged for several days, he could j
not pull out the ! >evil, nor could he
reach in and get the rib. So he
pulled out a knife, cut off the Dev
il's tail and hurried on to Heaven.
‘‘What have you-there?” cried
A llah.
Then Michael told his story,and
Allah was very angry. But In*
made the best of it, and fashioned
Woman out of the Devil's tail in
stead of First Man’s rib
ODOR OF DIFFERENT RACES.
Effluvial Peculiarities of Naticnali
ties. Vegetarians, Meat-Eat
ers and Animals.
A Japanese physician has been
making some remarkable obser
vations among Europeans. This
doctor, observes Medical Talk,
says that Europeans have an odor
peculiar to themselves, and it is
not at all pleasant to the people of
the orient.
This Dr. Burtaro Adacki, of Jap
an, states that the western people
have a natural odor that, while
it is not perceived by themselves,
is very perceptible to the ye How
race. The Japanese and Chinese
who take up their residence
among Europeans at first can
hardly tolerate this odor, but they
finally become habituated to it and
it is not so obnoxious.
Different species of animals—
horses, dogs, cats. etc.—and the
different races of men possess a
characteristic odor. In some
races this odor is more noticeable
than in others. The Chinese and
Ja panese ha ve li tt le or no odorous
emanation. This is doubtless a
racial peculiarity, although it is
reasonable to believe* that their
habits of diet may have much to
do with it, as they eat very little
meat.
It lms been claimed f hat among
the while races those who eat
meat can he distinguished from
the vegetarians by the emanation
from their bodies,the odor of the
meat eater being much more pro
nounced than that oft lie vegetari
an. The Japanese are chiefly veg
etarians and this may account for
the fact that their skin exhales
odors that are-scarcely percepti
ble. Then also the Japanese wear
loose Mowing garments, while the
white races as a rule wear more
clothing and t ighter clothing, thus
producing more abundant perspi
ration.
GOGGLES FOR CHICKENS.
Intended as a Means of Protecting
Eyes from Assaults of Pugna
cious Birds.
Among the recent inventions
which have been brought out in
the name of humanity to our
dumb animal or bird friends is a
pair of goggles to be placed on
chickens to prevent them from
picking out the eyes of one an
(.1 her,.report s Science Siftings. A
couple of pugnaciously inclined
birds on a farm can do a lot of
harm to the others, and, as a pro
leetiop against damage being sus
tained to l lie eyes, it is proposed to
equip the members of the Hock
with goggles.
The shape of those protectors
is such that by springing them
apart and placing them over the
head of the bird they will stay
there of their own accord. The
frames are fitted with disks of
glass or mica.
These spectacles are designed
for very high bred fowls, and are
meant to protect the owners from
loss as well as the chickens from
hurt.
Merely a Suggestion.
“Yes,” said the old bachelor,
with an obese bank balance, “I live
for those who love me!”
“Did it ever occur to you,” re
joined his irreverent nephew,
“that the parties aforesaid might
love you more if you were to die
for them?”—Chicago Daily News.

Bicycling has revived to some
extent in the east, although there
