The Worshipful Com pany of Gardener have begged to be allowed to present the coronation bou quet and the queen ha agreed to ac cept It from them, so they will keep the rarest and moat perfect Windsor carnations obtainable for the royal bouquet bf tv 1 Ih-d rdlu rdl rdlouoouo One of her reasons for preferring the carnation to the sweet pea a the flower to be used Is that the weather will probably be very warm at the time of the coronation and the sweet pea fades very easily, while the car nation does not droop in the heat.

A strange monument of modern bar barlam still survives at Nlsh, in south east Servla. During the War of In dependence In 1800, a Servian gar rison there exploded a powder m&ga ilne and perished therein rather than tall Into the hands of the Turks. A battle had previously taken place, and the Turks commemorated their victory by erecting a rude tower, ornamented with the heads of their enemies. Old people will toll you that there were once 1.200 heads, but as the tower was never more than 25 feet high, thla 1 probably an exaggeration. Lamartine and other traveler give descriptions of tho tower. Visitors were In the habit of carrying oft skull as souvenir, but when Nlsh became Servian the remainder were taken away for decent burial, all save a Urn that were too deeply embedded.
