FDRYNa FLOWERS IN SAND. = The
F7oraI Cabinet says: There are many
Of our brilliant flowers, such as dahlias,
panaiee, pinks, geraniums, sweet will
iiams, carnations. gladiolus, which may
be preserved 20 as to retain their color
for wears. White flowers will not ar
swer well for this purpose; nor any
plant, as hyacinths or cactus.
Take deep dishes, or those OF sumcient
depth to allow the flowers to be covered
an inch deep with sand; get the COM
mon white sand, such as Is used for
securing purposes, cover the bottom OF
the dish with layer about half an inch
deep, and then lay In the flowers, with
their stems downward, holding them
firmly in place while you sprinkle more
sand over them, until all places betweel
the petals are filled and the flowers
buried out of sight. A broad dish will
accommodate quite a large number; al
low sufficient and between. Set the
dish in a dry warm place where they
will dry gradually, and at the end OF
week pour on the sand and examine
them; If there Is any moisture in the
sand It must be dried out before using
again, or fresh sand may be poured over
them, the same as before. Some flowers
will require weeks to dry, while others
will become sufficiently dry to put
away in a week or ten days. BY this
simple process flowers, ferns. etc., are
preserved in their proper shape as well
as in their proper color, which Is far
better than to press them in books.
When arranged in groups and mounted
on cards, or Ia little straw baskets, they
may be placed in frames under glass.

THESE alphabet puns and quirks are
very numerous, and few Of the old
ones are very good. Here is one :
Majesty stripped of its externais Is .
jest." This is more than joke; 1t Is a
philosophical truth. Why Is the letter
5 like a sewing-machine? Because 1t
makes needles needless-more ingenious
than true, by the way. Here's another
that we recall: Why Is the absence OF
the letter IN like the presence Of hand
organ? Because, of course, 1t makes
u-sic of music! There is another: "Y
is the Fourth of July" When pro-
nounced orally it sounds like an unfin-
ished conundrum, and the enunciator
thereof like an idiot, where it's, In fact,
a great photographic truth.

Little Children.-People who babitu .
ally put children out of their hearts.
and close their doors upon them, have
no idea of how much comfort they set
aside-what pleasure, what amusement.
OF course the little creatures meddle
with things, and leave the traces of
their fingers on the wall. and cry and
"bother a little; but, when one gets
into it. as mothers and other loving
relatives do, those things become of
minor importance. Children say such
pretty things, the touch of their little
hands is SO soft, the sound of their
little voices 80 sweet. their faces are
90 pretty, their movements so graceful
and cOmical the whole family goes
mad-and it is no wonder. No book
was ever written that was half as in
teresting as little child that is learn
ing to talk and to think, that is devel-
Opipg from a tiny animal into being
with a conscience and heart.

Sea Soxndiags Uitk0ut q Liss.-Dr.
Siemens exhibited, ct . recent meeting
of the London Royal Society, - N
strument devised by himself Tor as
cerfaining the depth of the sea. In ex-
planning the principle of this instru-
ment, Mr.. Siemens observed that the
total gravit..tion of the earth, - mea-
sured on its normal surface, Ia COM
posed of the separate attractions of its
parts, and that the attractive influence
Of each equal volume varies directly ~
its density and inversely as the square
Of its distance from the point of mea-
surement. The density of sea water
being about !, ,026, and that of the solid
constituents composing the earth's
crust about 3. 763, it follows that an in
tervening depth of sea water must
exercise o sensible influence upon toial
gravitatiOn if measured on the surface
of the sea. His instrument, which he
calls barometer. is described in the
London Times as consisting "essen-
TALLY of vertical column of mercury,
contained in q steel tube having cup
like extensions at both extremities, 80
as to increase the terminal area of the
mercury. The lower cup is closed by
means of a corrugated diaphragm OF
thin steel plate, and the weight of the
column of mercury is balanced in the
centre of the diaphragm by the elastic
force derived from two carefully-tem-
pered spiral steel springs of the same
length as the mercury column. One OF
the peculiarities of this mechanical ar
rangement is, that it Is parathermal,
the diminishing elastic force OF the
springs with rise of temperature beng
compensated by Q similar decrease OF
potential of the mercury column, which
decrease depends upon the prOportions
given to tn areas of the steel tube and
it's cup-like extensions"
The instrument Is suspended in such
a manner as to retain the vertical po-
sition, notwithstanding the motion OF
the ship, and the vertical oscillations
of the mercury are almost entirely
prevented by local contraction OF the
mercury column to very small ori-
fee. The reading of the instrument Is
effected by means of electrical contact:
which is established between the end
of micrometer-screw and the centre
of the elastic diaphragm. The pitch OF
the screw and the divisions in the rim
are SO proportion ed that each division
represents the diminution of gravity
due to one fathom of depth. Actual
experiment has shown the apparatus
to be very reliable.-Poputdr Science

Johnny's Tedrs.-Johnny had great
trial. He was sitting on the fioor, look
ing over all his pictures, and BABY
tOddled up and tore one right across,
one of the very prettiest. johnny
called out, 40, mamma, see!n and then
he began to cry.
Johnny said mamma as she took
baby away. "did you know tears are
salt water !"
Johrny checked a sob and looked up.
"NO,n he said with great interest !;
"are theyi How did you find out,
mammaf
40, somebody told me so when ] was
q little girl, and | tried a tear, and
found it was true"
"Real salt water n asked Johnny.
"Yes, try and see."
Johnny would very gladly have tried,
if he could only have found tear.
But by that time there was not one
left, and his eyes were so clear and
bright it was no use hoping for any
more that time. He looked at the torn
picture, but it did not make him feel
bad any more. All he could think of
was whether tears tasted like salt wa
ter.
Next time cry, I'll find OUT" he
determined.
That very afternoon, while climbing
over the top of the rocking-chair he
fell and got great bump. 1t was too
much for any little boy, altogether too
much for Johnny, and he was just be-
ginning to cry loudly. when he hap
pened to think what good chance
this was going to be to catch some
tears. He put his fingers quick up to
his eyes. altogether too quick in fact,
for there had not tear come yet worth
mentioning, and now that his thoughts
had wandered from the bump he could
not seem to cry about it any more. So
that chance was lost.
81 can't get single tear to taste of,
mammal he said ruefully.
The next day it happened again.
Some little thing went VIC Ong, and the
tears were starting to JOhnny's eyes,
when he suddenly remembered to Won
der whether they would be salt. And
wasn't it strange that after that the
tears would not come at ALT II things
keen on that way, how is be erer going
to find out! HIS mamma begins to
think he is really going to te one of
those brave little boys who don't whim-
per over every small trouble, and if
that is the case, l don't know as We
shall ever hear any more about john
ny's tears.

AN EDITOR who wrote an amusing
sketch of the manner in which woman
reads newspaper, omitted one impor-
tant particular. 1t Is q remarkable fact
that if an item happens to have oeen
,lipped out of a paper, the woman loses
all interest in everything else that Is In
that paper, and concentrates her atten-
ton upon the item that isn't there. She
will look above It, under IL and around
it, and will exhaust herself in Efforts TO
guess what could have occupied that
empty space. Then she will wonder
who cut it out and why 1t was cut out,
and ten to one its absence will engender
i'm her mind some horrible suspicion
concerning her husband. Finally she
will throw down the sheet with the de-
claration that she can't take any In
terest In a newspaper when the only
thing she wanted to read has been cut
out.

clarion voice of street vendor before
the house. She made clutch for her
handkerchief to cover up the emotion,
but she was too late. The ludicrous-
ness of the combined sentiments was
too much for her intellect, and she
melted into prolonged giggle. His
face flushed scarlet. and for an instant
he was too profoundly impressed to
realize his position. Then he shot up
ON his feet, and with howl Of rage, de-
parted. Really, should not more intelii-
gent and more discriminating people be

A Double Danger Ayerted.

The inhabitant of Il malarious region is
threatened by double danger. He is not
only compelled to breathe miasma, but to
swailOW it, since it intects not only the at
mOsphere, but the water. The aerial poison
threatens his system t rough the
lungs and pores, the liquid through the
stomach. Against this double peril there is
but one protection, and that is to invgorate
the entire body through the digestive and
secretiye organs. Ordinary toncs usually
fail to accomplish this-Hostetters Stomach
Btters never. In the tropics, where the
diseases originated by malaria are of a far
more malignant type than those originated
by the same cause in the temperate zone, il
enjoys immense and constantly increasing
sales, and there is no portion of this cont,
nent where it is not the reignng specific foI
miasmatic fevers and disorders of the sto.
mach, liver and bowels, proceeding from
malaria and other causes.
