SWEEY JASMINE.
t Flower Became the
Symbol of Marriage.
| Long before orange hlossoms became
associated with weddings the fragrant
jasmine was gommon ly used for the
decoration of a bride. A very pretty Jeg
end of ancient Tuscany tells how fbi
little blossom became the symbol of
Jove. A traveler, returning from ihe
warm countries of Asia, brought home
with him a rare tropical plant—-the jas-
ine—swhich was unknown in Tascany.
Ho gave 8 small slip to a certain duke,
who set it among his most greasiined
plants, where it roctedd and thrived up
der the ears of the gardener and toon
grew to be a good sized pliant The
duke was so proud of his rare pes Edn
that he gave strict orders to his garden-
er to goard the plant carefully and on
no account to give even a slip—not a
flower—t0 Any person.
The gardener was a god young oun,
and he wonld have been faithfal to his
charge had be not happened to fall in
Jove with the sweetest peasant maid in
all Tuscany. The maid was poor and
her lover was not much richer, #0 they
were unable to marry. On the birthday
of the peasant the gardener, having
nothing else to give the maid of his
cheios, praseuted her with a boognet of
flowers, and among the other clippings
in the bunch there was me from the
dukes cherished jasmine bush, Nothing
eculd be too good for the gurdémpr’s
© maiden, sO in this cae instance be ro
faxed his care of the shrob The girth
admiring the fresh buds of the wprig,
wished to preserve it, apd so placed it
in the gronnd, where it rooted and re
mained fresh and green all winter, thins
symbolizing her Yee for the prardener,
and in the following spring it grew and
was ooversd with blossoms. The httls
hnsh flourished and the flowers muiti
plied so ander the maidens care that
she was able to sell many of the sprigs
for a sonsiderable sam, thus ster adi re
the aukucwn ower abroad, and 10»

for thin day the Tovwean girls preserve
the remembrance of the gardendr's g if
to his swietheart by wearing a fosegay
of sweet jasmine on their wedding day,
and they buve a proverb which saps B
young gir] wearing such a sprig is rich
enough ti make the fortune af a poor
husband. — Philadelphia Press

Declining Our Pronouns.
In a collection of the possessiOns of
the late Robert Louis Stevenson there ia
a letter showing the difficulties whic h
evan such a master of English as he ex-
joneed in writing our lauguage
“When I invent a language,’ he writes,
sthere shall be a direct and indirect
pronoun differently declined, and then
writing will be some fun.” This idea
he illustrates as follows:
Direct—He, bin. his.
Indirect—Th, tom, tus
He adds in exempiification, “He
seized tum by tus throat, but tu at the
sanie moment canght him by bis hair. ie
