The Parisians are taking up tb - dea of decorating the fronts of their houses with window boxes of flowers. 1 he English have done this for many years, and this year the Americans, although in most cases away from home themselves, have left the windows of their town resi­ dences filled with bloom for the ben­ efit of the stay in town unfortu­ nates. But the Parisians obtained their incentive from a wealthy man who kept his house decorated in this manner during the last visit of the English king to the French capital. Now his example has been eagerly followed, and prizes are even being offered for the most tastefully ar­ ranged window flowers. Bulbs, seeds and small sprouts have been distributed by prominent Parisians to encourage the poor to interest themselves in this pleasant manner of improving the squalid portions of the city.— Philadelphia Ledger.
