Detroit Free Press. - x Three Costly Hothouses. This is the season of the year when the great army of gardeners employed by New York's millionaires who have a fad for flowers are putting their hothouses in shape for the winter. I met Jay Gould's chief gardener yesterday and he told me that everything was in excellent shape Tit the railroad king's $500,000 hothouse -up the Hudson, A lot of choice plants ftnd PTntifa have imt Arrived from Tn tlia. and other eastern countries. John Hpey's difficulties have not de terred him from looking after bis pet flowers in his grand hothouses at Holly wood, N. J. I am told his chief gardener has bad several conferences with Mr. Hoey during the past two weeks about bis favorite flowers and their care. Mr. Hoey is passionately fond of flowers, and elects the seeds and bulbs himself, and at times superintends the work of his gardeners. Another man who has a half a million dollar hothouse is the Standard oil king. John D. Rockefeller, who has a palace on the Hudson. It has not been completed long and his gardeners are constantly re ' reiving new additions. Mr. Rockefeller says 'he will have the finest flower show in the world in a year or two. New York Telegram. - Grime Decreasing-. " All the criminal returns published of late have happily tended to show that crimfeis decreasing. The judicial sta tistics for the past year bear the same testimony. 'Whether under the head of . "criminal classes at large" or "in local and convict prisons and reformatories.'' the'figrures show a steady decline. The -same is true of the houses of bad char acter, by which is meant such as are the resort of thieves, depredators and suspected persons. In England and . Wales thore are 2,683 houses of this de scription. It seems rather odd to be told that of these 345 are public houses and 265 beer shops, because if they are known resorts of such characters, why are their licenses not withdrawn.' Is it for the reason once given by a French administrator that they-serve the ends of the law by providing places where those who are wanted by the police can easily, be found? The known houses of receivers of stolen goods had declined from 778 two years ago to 724 last year. London Telegraph. . Rewards to the Good and Bad. Every schoolgirl and boy in Bellmore, Is. I., knows Lawyer. jQeorge A. Mott. A few days ago he visited the village school in that place with the pockets of his overcoat bulging out with prizes for the pupils. The prizes were for good conduct and excellence in different studies. More than a dozen boys and girls were made happy. Two prizes still remained, and then Mr. Mott re quested the teacher, Miss Fish, to call up the worst boy in the school. A bright eyed urchin named Clinton Moore was produced by Miss Fish in response to Mr. Mott's request. He was Dresented with one of the remaining prizes and promised to try to do better. When Mr. Mott asked for the worst girl in the school saucy Jennie Hicks raised her hand. She received the other prize. New York Sun. - - "What Is 'Trotty?" i ask for information. I have been reading lately a very clever novel about English artist life and English smart society. Twice over in the story a smart young woman is made to describe cer tain articles of costume in a bride's trousseau as Vquite too awfully trotty for words.", I have never to my knowl edge beard the phrase "trotty" used in that sense. Is it an epithet of London smart society II so, what is its sup posed derivation? Is it Imported from America, as most of our slang phrases lately are? Any information on this point kindly 'supplied will be rewarded with the best thanks of this writer, who feels a considerable interest in slang, hut likes it genuine when he can get it. Justin McCarthy in New York Herald. Robert Shaw, of Snow's Falls, Me., went to sleep in a field the other day, and when he awoke he was minus a good pair of trousers.

Recent experiments upon the electro Jytia generation of pressure from gases formed in a closed space have been very rraccessful, and a pressure of 1,200 at mospheres baa been obtained. During one year alone Philadelphia I has devoured 185,475 slaughtered and dressed calves, 511,142 sheep, 548,940 hogs and 69,290 barrels and 97,890 boxes of poultry. The hens who were spared from the hatchet had to lay for the city 15,984,600 dozen eggs. Over 312,183 bar rels of apples bad to be shaken from the trees and 3,063 carloads of potatoes dug up from the ground. During the twelve months the city made havoc of 11,118 packages of dried green peas, 119,521 packages , of dried fruit and 855,837 packages of berries. The cooks con sumed 16,489 tierces and 75,081 tubs of lard, and in the kitchen and on the table disappeared from view the tremendous amount of 256,591 tubs, 33,384 firkins and 87,846 boxes of butter. A huge heap of crackers must have been swallowed along with the 226,459 big boxes of cheese. . ' During one year Philadelphia con sumed nearly 8,500,000 bushels of grain, including nearly 1,500,000 bushels of corn, 877,508 bushels of wheat, 98,425 bushels of rye, 1,056,800 bushels of bar ley and 208,600 bushels of malt. Out of these 877,508 . bushels of wheat were manufactured 195,002 barrels of flour, and from this flour were baked 62,650, 640 loaves of bread. Most of the flour used by the bakers and the good house wives is shipped from the northwest, al ready barreled. This manufactured into bread would easily swell the total to nearly 150,000,000 loaves, or their equivi lent to a certain extent in rolls, buns and bakery. Philadelphia eats daily an enormous barbecue of 510 calves, 1,410 sheep, 1,610 hogs and 7,550 poultry, besides a huge banquet of at least 6,000,000 oysters, 525,528 eggs, 856 barrels of apples and 9 carloads of potatoes.
