THE SCENE AT THE FUNERAL .

READING, Pa, August 2l.-There
was great excitement here at the funeral
Of Mrs. Bessinger and her three chill
dren, who were drowned on Tuesday
last. 1t seems, from the stories OF the
people, that the woman had lived I'M
happily with her husband, owing othe
introduction by him of another woman
into the house, and that this unhappi-
ness resulted in a quarrel on Monday,
when the husband ordered his wife to
leave the house and to take the two girls
with her, while he would retain the boy
Next day she went to the canal with the
children, and, after filing abasket with
stones, in which operation the children
assisted, she bound the basket securely
to her body, and taking the three chi,
dren in her arms leaped into the canal
and all were drowned. As soon as the
bodies were recovered and taken to her
former home, the police had to guard
the house to save the husband from as
sault, and at the funeral procession TO-
day, which included about one thousand,
the people on foot surrounded his car,
riage. When the bodies were lowered
into the graves the people hooted Bes-
singer and made a rush for him. IN
the confusion one shot was fired, when
the police hurriedly placed him in aGar-
riage and drove Off, receiving, as they
passed the cemetery gate, another shot,
which it is thought wounded him, as ne
was carried into the house. The ponce

A Bouquet for the Table.

Did you ever make a bouquet in a sau-
Ger? | think it is the prettiest way of
all. | fill the saucer two thirds full
with water, and place some large flow
er, like n lily, in the center, OF a little
to n side, as fancy may suggest.
Then | arrange a fringe of fine, feath-
cry sprigs around the rim, and fill
up the interstices with small flowers.
The result is charming. And flowers
arranged in this way will, with me, re-
main fresh longer than if arranged in a
vase.
As | write, | have before me a bou-
quet put together thus. 1t consists of a
tiger lily, sprigs of asparagus and
southern wood, Drummond phlox, pc
tunias, and a few blood red blossoms of
coreopsis. But do not turn up your
noses, being, perhaps, the possessors of
more costly and varied material for flor
al ornaments, for my bouquet is not to
be throw in the shade The coreopsis
blossoms are borne on slender, why
stems, and after | had filled my other
flowers in thickly around the lily, | in
serted a few of these on longer stems,
leaning them upright against the lily
stamens, and they seem like richly tint
ed stars of velvet, glowing above alright
hued messy ground work of sister stars
This manner of making bouquets per-
mits having the use of "A host of those
flowers that have short stems, and that
would be almost useless for a vase. But
as water is so easily spilled from shallow
recepticles, an excellent substitute is
wet sand. And this assists the ingenu-
ity in giving fanciful forms to bouquets,
as it affords a firmer foundation in which
to imbed the flower stems.
Do you ever have tastefully arranged
flowers on your writing tables? If not,
just try it once, as a new plan, and see
how the lovely things will assist You in
