Among the titles urged wane "H is Highness, tho President of tho United States b f America and Pro tector o f the Rights o f the Same," "H U Elective Highness,” etc, and a cano pied throne was to bo erected fo r hU w o la tho senate, lim ber* o f that body wore to be " T o w Highness o f the Senate," the sergeant at arms was to be rochristened the "Usher o f the Stock Rod.” and representatives “ T o w Highness o f the Lower House.” John Adams, we are told In the Jour nal o f W illiam Maclay, led the so- caBod "Court party,” which wished to borrow the forms o f the British mon archy fo r o w Infant government HU moot aealous supporter was Richard Hoary Lee o f Virginia.

Barrie at the rebears- aU o f hU early plays, which I men tioned the other day. was In all prob ability the one which was acquired In still earlier years with the Intention o f Impressing Frederick Greenwood. The story o f this tall hat was related at the memorable dinner given to Green wood In 1906, with John Morley, then quite untitled. In the chair. " I bought my first silk hat, to Impress him, the day I came to London,” said the dis tinguished pilgrim from Thrums. T never wore It except when I made pe riodic advances on the 8t. James’s Ga zette. I liked to think that It had Its effect upon him.” The hat would nat urally be treasured on grounds other than those which would suggest them selves to the ordinary thrifty Scot— It had opened out to him a great liter ary career, and It might be expected tp liave Its natural beneficent Influence on the plays.— Westminster (Eng.)

It is the famous Bo-tree o f the Buddhists, a branch o f the very tree under which ’ Prince Gautama obtained the in spiration o f Buddhism. .

No industry in the world has been harder hit by the war than the grow ing o f flowering bulbs in the Netber- Umds. The productionof these bulb* is' a business that must be clamed among the pure luxuries, and lux-, uries suffer first in war time. Tales, heartrending to the enthusiastic S e lector, come from the bulb farms, of bulbs that once sold for many dollars etch now being fed by wheelbarrow loads to the hogs. The bulb trade had perhaps passed its heyday when collectors fought for raje varieties, and the best o f them sold like precious stones; but it was still an enormous and valuable trade in 1914 and it will doubtlesa regain much o f its old position after the war. Raising the bulbs is a highly spe cialized and arduous trade. The hya cinths begin to bloom early in April, and from that month until July, when the late-blooming Spanish iris is aflame, the fields are great banks and muses o r delicate petals and globing colors. Even before the hyacinth, the early snowdrops and crocuses are peeping up, but the bulb season is officially opened, eo to speak, whan the first hyacinth blooms. UNEDITED TO HIE UBE.
