A new art has begun to be pract ised that of dying roses. A white one, it appears, can be dipped in a chemical solution and converted in an hour into a yellow, a terracotta, or deep red bloom, which is worth at least five times as much as the plain white. The lovely pink Hortensia rose, when watered with a solution of iron, assumes a bluish shade. Such processes are probablymoney-getting, but the true lover of flowers regards them with displeasure as decidedly unnatural, if not an outrage upon Nature’s loveliest blossoms. The wit who advised someone never to speak disrespectfully of the equator might be paraphrased in this matter, and counsel offered to florists not to deal disrespectfully with the rose; for we all love it, and those who are dissatisfied with it as it grows are not worthy to wear it or even to possess it. THE STOREKEEPERS DON'T LIKE IT, AND NO WONDER, but we think they have had a very good innings, and the Public of Texnuka may rely upon it that os soon AS WE ARE GONE ALL GOODS WILL GO BACK TO THE OLD PRICE. We rather enjoy this spirit of ©position, and would not have the Stbbam op Life all Calm and Ripplbless. We fancy the public can see the Storekeepers’ Little Drift.
