Coloring Roses.

A young man entered a Hartford street-car carrying three roses, one white, one green, and one salmon-col-; ored Thev attracted much attention, espeeiallv the 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 mk. The leaves were beautifully colored, and the coloring would not rub ofi, but it seemed as if nature had done tho work. The process only required en minutes.
