TULIP MADNESS.
The Craze That Raged in Holland In
the Last Century.
During the tulip craze in Holland in
the last century in one year the sales
aggregated 10,000,000 forins. Holland
went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot.
ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership
in them was divided into shaves, Spec.
ulators sold them short, At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. At
Lille 8 brewer sold his trade and good
will in exchange for a bulb, which was
thereafter known as the Brewery tu-
lip. In Amsterdam a father gave one
by way of dower with his child. There
after the variety was known the
Marriage of My Daughter. At Rotter
dam a hungry sailor, happening on a
few, mistook them for onlous and ate
them. The repast became ns famous
as Cleopatra's pearls and probably ex-
ceeded it In cost At The Hague a
poor fellow managed to raise a black
tulip. The rumor of that ve getable
marvel spread. Presently he was vis
ited by a deputation from a syndicate
For that ewe lamb of his the deputa-
tion offered 1,000 florins, which he re
fused. He was offered 10,000 florins.
Still he refused. Cascades of gold
were poured before his resisting eyes,
Finally, tormented and tempted, he
succumbed. There and then the depu
tation trampled that tulip under their
feet. Afterward it appeared that the
gyndicate had grown a gem
precisely similar and, unable to bear
the idea that a rival existed, had au
thorized the deputation If needful
offer ten times the which It
paid.
