Coloring Roses.

A young man entered a Hartford street-car carrying three roses, one white, one green, and one salmon-col-ored. They attracted mnch attention, especially tne green. The owner finally explained that all were white that morning, and that the coloring had been done by putting the stem of one into green ink, and the other into red ink. The leaves were beautifully colored, and the coloring would not rub off, but it seemed as if nature had done the work. The process only required ten minutes.
