I want to be Lung up." When a dap
per young "blood" or aa old Gotham
dandy comes into a Coral establishment
in Fifth avenue some bright fall after
noon and uses the above expression, at
tbe same time winking the other eye,
the tradesman knows thai the customer
is in love, and that this Ls perhaps the
beginning of a long campaign in which
the principal scene is to be Cupid dally
ing amid the flowers.
Maybe she's an actress.
In that case there will be no limit to
the hanging up matter. Every swell
Gotham f.oru-t knows that Lis customers
seldom pay cash for the floral decoration
to their love affairs. There is p'enty cf
risk in the business, but the profits are
so large that the tradesmen take the risks.
You would lie surprised at tbe cumber
cf men in swell circles who play "broke"
to their florist.
"Chase me, chase mc."
This is what they say w hen the trades
man presents a bill.
Thousands and thousands of ddlars
are spent yearly by the young dudes and
the old chappies of Gotham on their fa
vorite actresses. Maybe Cbolly goes to the
"Black Crook" some night, and there on
sight falls tinder the fascination of the
chorus girls fair beauty. If yon are
cynical or dyspepsic yon will have your
doubts about her age and her hair; but
Cholly is in raptures all evening.
That night he bangs around the stage
entrance.
Next day Le goes to Lis florist, takes

about iL
"I think a $ 100 basket will do, eh?"
Cholly nods.
"1 will make yon a basket four feet
Ligln It will bo delivered over the foot
lights promptly at "J o'clock. It will be
decorated with very wide pink and blue
satin ribbon a yard long. For a hun
dred extra I will pnt a couple of doves
in the basket, concealed amid the roses.
The doves will have satin ribbons tied
to their feet. As the lasket is handed
over the lights the attendant shakes the
souvenir, and out fly the doves. Ah, old
fellow, what do yoa say to that, ehr
"Yer-ry well; Lang me up for-r two
him'iK'd. dontcherknow."
It is a common thing for a swell New
York florist to prepare n f :WX basket for
some actres-s. To order a $100 basket is
a commonplace.
A $ JtO basket usually consists of culled
ro-ses, generally American E--auties, cf
rare size and sweetness. The flowers are
cut with the stalks, and when placed in
the gold tinted basket stand four feet
high. The offering is tricked oat with
great widths of blue, gold, pink or yel
low ribbon. Ia the center of the bouque-t
space is left for a satin or lace box. The
ustial protestations of regard are written
on scented note paper. This is tbe cpen
ing of the romance.
Little Miss Million receives roses it.

They are rare American Beauties.
They cost in Fifth avenue f l.oO per rcise.
That is eighteen dollars a dozen. Maybe
she gets two dozen a day in a big blue
and gold box.
Clioliy pays for these.
"There are hundreds of high rollers in
Gotham,"saystheexclusive florist, "who
spend enough each season to keep a
family spend it on flowers for the giddy
quesen cf the footlights and upon their
lady loves.
"It is not uncommon to receive an or
der from some young dude to deliver to
his lady friend a bouquet each morning,
say for a month. He will plank down
$l."iO with the order. For this sum we
are to send little Miss Million a bunch
of selected roses for thirty mornings.
There is to lie an air of romance over the
gift. It is to be sect to the house
promptly at 9 o'clock each morning. No
note or name is to accompany it. Little
Miss Million is not to know, yon know.
Of course Le will call each night aud
see Lis flowers on the piano. Maybe one
night he w ill be rewarded by seeing her
wear one beautiful rose in her yellow
Lair. I am sure that is worth f 150 to

General Grant's funeral was graced,
6well florists say, with more flowers
than New York ever saw before or since.

"CARING FOR TfTE GOOD BOOK."
8w the eri-turea Were Preserved Pre
Ttooa le Their Tnu-al-ttlon.
The book cf the Jjw were the first
books of the Bible to be collected by the
priests tad leaders of te Israelites; after
lb law cimo the written history of the
people, in the Fifth century B. C, the
collection of the prophets by Nehemiah;
and from his time onward the collection
of hagiographa. the Psalms, Proverbs,
Job, Canticles. All of these had been
preserved by the priests, copied and re
copied as occasion required, and circu
lated in mauu-icripts, as of course all
writings were circulated in those days.
The dispersion of the Hebrews and
their acquisition of other languages and
loss of the Hebrew language, necessitat
ed the translation of tiie Scriptures into
other than the Hebrew, and previous to
the Second century B. C. what we know
aa the Septuagint translation the LXX
was completed in Greek, designed es
pecially for the Hebrews living in Alex
andria and other parts cf Egypt. The
Septuagint comes from a tradition that
seventy scholars seventy-two actually
made the translation. Translations and
recensions into tha Aramaic were also
made, and these translations were copied
from time to time, so that the oldest
manuscript of the Old Testament now
extant is only about 1,400 years old.
The case is the same with the New
Testament It -was written again and
again, until now there are upward of
1,000 manuscripts for the Gospels and as
many more for the rest of the New Tes
tament. The oldest manuscripts are the
Codex Sinaiticns and the Codex Yatica
nus, which date from the Fourth century
A. D. So the books of the Bible were
handed down, the old copies always be
ing renewed before they wore out, the
language being Hebrew. Greek and after
A. D. SuO, Latin. The latter, in the trans
lation adopted by the Roman church, and
known as the Yclgate, because com
monly used in the Christian chnrches,
was the first book printed, in 1450-3.
As far back as the Seventh century
portions of the Vulgate were translated
into English, and the early versions by
Wyclif and his predecessors, by Pur

the Vulgate, Tvndale used Lather's
German translation cf the Greek Bible.
The authorized version cf King James
was made by forty-seven scholars and

A "Character" in (ranee.
Recently a French gentleman, reply
ing to an inquiry by a lady concerning
the character and qualifications of a
woman wbo Lad applied to her for tLe
position of cook, and who Lad lately
been in the gentleman's service, said that
he could not recommend the applicant;
that she was "extravagant, impertinent
and somewhat given to drink." Tiie lady
gave the letter to the applicant for the
cook's position.w ho immediately brought
suit for damages against the writer.
The case was decided against the writ
er cf the letter, who was fined and ad
monished that he Lad no right to give
circulation to injurious statements con
cerning another person, even if the
charges were true.
Ia order to evade the responsibility
thus introduced in French law house
keepers have taken to issuing such 'rec
ommendations" as this:
"This certifits that lime. Hortense,
late nurse to my son. aged one year, did
not leave Lim on a bench at the Jardin
des Plantes and go away and forget Lim
on the 20th of August last."
The certificate is intended to be taken
in a contrary sense, and serves its par
pose without laying the writer open to a
suit for damages. Youth's Compauion.
A rroblem.
Once there were two tramps who were
actually looking for work. In the course
cf their wanderings they came upon a
pile cf coal in front cf a palatial resi
dence. Said the tramp with the inferior intel
lect, "Let us engage ourselves to stow
away tiiis fuel at a price of twenty-five
cents." "Nay, nay," said the tramp of
superior iuteli:t; "let me go within and
negotiate."
And he did negotiate and secured the
job at a rate of fifty cents, of which sum
he gave tne-lmlf to Lis companion to
perform the necessary manual labor, re
serving one-half unto himself for sujjer
intending operations.
Whereat he of the inferior business
ability, though he Lad received twice
the amount of work he expected and at
his own rate of compensation, lifted up
his voice in wrath and swore by various
deities that Le La i been bunkoed.

What Men and Wo-r cn TelL
There is one radical difference lietween
men and women that "it may be said
generally cf novelists, that men know
more than they te-U. and women tell
more than they know." It may be true
of novelists. In real life neither tells all
be or 6he knows, end the difference
shows in what they keep.
A woman tells the thing that is not
vital. She will tell some one almost
every detail of her daily life, but let her
have a heart story, and she not only
keeps it locked in, but she lives as though
it had no existence,
A man scores to relieve Lis mind cf
little worries by asking for sympathy.
But let a great secret come into Lis life
he dies unless he tells it to soine oue.
He will do it even when it brings Lim in
the shadow cf de-ath cr bitterest dis
grace. Charles Dudley Warner in Har

He Kept Crand Medicine.
In a Scotch village, where a young
doctor had lately starte-d practico, a
workman had the misfortune to get his
finger bruised Ladly in one of the mills.
A doctor was sent for, and on properly
dressing the finger the man nearly
fainted. He was asked if he would take
a little spirits to revive Lim. "Mon."
he exclaimed with feeling, "that wud
just be the very life o' me!" The doctor
gave him a good glass, which ho greed

breath his first words were, "Well, doc

memorable occasion the letter read as fell

to a prosperous aud aristocratic neighbor
hood and not far from Little Rock, a few
months sgi, and was not long in build
ing up a good chool. Time wore on
and her pupils advanced wonderfully in
their studies. he conceived the idea a
few weeks ago of giving an exhibition of
ber most efficient class, and invited all
the neighbors to come to the little school
house on Friday evening, that they
might see her and bear for themselves
the progress that bad been ma le by her
teaching. There was a good crowd
present She bad all the little boys and
little girls to stand up. She questioned
this one about one thing, and another
about something else. Their answers
were gratifying to the pretty teacher and
to tbe parents of the cb ildren,
"'Now, 8be said to them toward the
