Until I came here I never knew what it was to see as many flowers as I could wish all at once. . . May is the time when the violets bloom; blue. and gray and golden. they come up by thousands in the short grass. and at the same time the ‘ shooting stars ' make long flushes of crimson where they stand in their regiments, nodding side‘ by side. Some- times a pure white one bends like a. bride among the rest. They are little winged flowers. reminding one of cyâ€" clamens. but ‘Amerlcan cowslip' is their misleading name. ALout the first :of June it is worth taking a long ride lto find the forget-me-nots that grow in certain high spots. One calls forget- meâ€"nots blue at home. but the bluest would look as pale as skim-milk beside these. Enamal or the deepest turquoise would be dulled by them. They shine from. the ground like gems. and you may see them quite a long way off. though they have none of the transpar- [enc'y of red and white flowers; they ishine only from their pure. Opaque ins . So many other llovely flowers follow the forgetcme~ acts that the chief difficulty is to name them, and that is no trifling task, when ~ you are without botanical knowledge of your own and without books of reâ€" ference. I think the flowers are espe- lcially puzzling here. because many of lthem are so very like some we know its the old country and yet not exact- ly the same.

These for they do not take into account two important elementsâ€"first, the wealth of the country. and second. its credit. For instance the debt per capiita of 1101- ; land is $95.50. That of Italy $76.06. Ostensibly the burden of debt is heavi-i er in Holland than in Italy. but the facts are otherwise. Holland is a wealthy country; the people are thrifty; : the internal taxes are light; the cum-l memo is large and the profits of its_ colonial DOSSPSSIMLIS are enormous. Italy is a poor country; it has few 'nmnufac- tures and it has practically no money i invested abroad. The aggregate wealth of. Italy, including land. liVe stock, mot‘ chandise. ships, gold and silver, railr ways. buildings and personal effects, averages about $500 for each inhabit- ant. In ‘Hnlland the average wealth is: 31.500 for will. inhabitant. and thel Dutch can therefore much better sue-l tain the national debt of 895 each on. the average than can the.
