TRE ANNUAL SHOW OF THE WASHINOTON FLOR- IsTs' CLUB IN THE WASHINGTOX LIGHT IX- YANTRY ARMORY—SOME OF THE NOVELTIES BXHIGITED—THR MAXY PRIZES TO BE COM- PETED For. Outside all was gloomy and wet, but inside the Washington Light Infantry there was a burst of light and glory of color that wa | enough to dazzle the eyes of those who entered | the hall too suddenly. ‘This was today, and the explanation of all this gorgeousness contained in the simple statement that the annual chrys- anthemum show is on once more. And what chrysanthemums! How they have grown since the days when this curious Japaneso flower first got ite all-powerful hold on the favor of Americans! Flowers as big se— well » great deal bigger than they were Inst | year, and that is saying a great deal. The | chrysanthemum in its present form, or rather | forms, for it has an apparently limitless nuraber of them, ought to be called into | gntiate se enother proof of thet jon. | The chrysanthemum show ix rapidly becom- ing a regwar fall fixture in all the larger cities ‘in this country | Washington has ery reason to be roud of the display that is made here | Just before Thanksgiving season. New York may | have « bigger hall for her show and there a: also more exhibitors and more blooms, but the | quality is not ono bit higher in Gotham and in Point of fact there are some parts of the dis- Play here that are finer than can be teen anywhere else. Some of the most cred- itable displays at the recent flower chow at | the Madison Square Garden were sent over [by District florists, and when it is sald that they have ‘outdone themselves in the coliection at the armory one may be sure that it is worth aceing. There are novelties that have not been placed before the public be- fore, and notwithstanding that there are com- etitors from other cities, as far west as Adrian, Kitch for example, thero te ‘not mach deaht that the prizes for the best exhibite will never get outside the District line. SOME OF THE NOVELTIES SHOWN. ‘The show this year, as in years past, is given by the Washington florists and'when one con- |siders the claborate outlay and expense to which the members and — exhibitors re put individually one must admit that the organization deserves the greatest credit as well as more substantial encourage- ment. The large drill hall of the armory is completely filled with the royal blossoms and the electric lights from the ‘ceiling and walls give it all ench a beautiful effect that | the place is transposed ns it were for | the time into a bowor of delight. Soyoacleel leolor that the sun can give the flower is | there, und yet ro gracefully and harmonion dixposed that the very best effects are obtained. There are roses, too, and foliage lants nnd a most amazing dixplay of Victoria Regia water lilies that are to be seen throughout the three days that the show keeps Jopen. There are apecial displays of one sort and arother, but it is first, last and all the time a chrysanthemum how. The roses jare eaid to be as big and as fine as any roses that ever have been grown, and there are potted plants that are more to be desired than any other potted plants that were ever exhibited, but afier all it is the lay by the scl- play Be heel | a and among them ail) ther choses in owned or bel blish Tue Stan, will take ‘The trial board will lin [chrysanthemum that gives the show its name jand charm.

MANY PRIZES OFFERED. ‘The clab has offered money prizes for the best displays of twenty-five or twelve distinct varieties of chrysenthomums and this has {brought out a number of competitors and ne of the most interesting -parts of the show.

From the New York Recorder. “It’s funny when a man gets to be over forty how he always longs for his own bed if he hap- pens to be separated from it,” said a returned summer sojourner. “When I start toward home I always begin to give rein to myhitherto restrained desire to get home, and the main idea in my mind is to get into my own bed. It isn’t because those I have been occupying nights were poor oues or because mine is superior, but there's something uncxplainable when you land | your weary body in it.

All attempts at civilizing these people have been a complete failure, although the attempt was made with young children, and persisted in for a dozen years. One of the phenomenaat- tending the attempt has been observed elae- where, and is of great interest. Up to ten years the Andamanese children held their own in the school against the children of Europeans and Hindoos. At this stage they came toa dead halt, while the others entered upon another and higher «tage of mental evolution. On account of the wandering life led by the natives it is difficult to estimate their numbers with precision. ‘Ten yours ago the native popt- lation was figured at 3,500 und the Indian set- tlers at 12,000. These were mostly settled on Great Andaman, and to this fact must be at- tributed the early extinction of the natives there. But even before the Andamanese were exposed to the influences of civilization there was very little increase. The young men mar- ried at eighteen to twenty-two, the girls at from sixteen to twenty. Hos consisted generally of three or four, occasionally of six, children. Tho chil dren are never weaned, and sre allowed to seck the breast as long as it contains any nour- isbment. The infant mortality bas always been great in consequence of injudicious treatment, jut infanticide is unknown among them. Ac. cording to Mr. Man's account, the habits of the people were never conducive to heulth, and numerous prevailed before the advent of the foreigners, They were especially liable to diseases and speedily succumbed to those which passed by Europeans without en ing their lives. ” Their vital force is low and the ever prevalent fever’ prepares the system for the ravages of other diseases.
