The Way to Cut Flowers.

THE florists employ pair of scissors
with which the stems are severed. But
a writer in the american Garden says
that flowers should never be pulled OH,
nor should the stems be severed with
scissors. but cut off with sharp knife.
The best time for cutting flowers is i'm
mediately after sundown-unlesS to
preserve them from a storm, which
would otherwise destroy or prevent
their being cut in the evening. On
cloudy days the time of cutting is a
matter of much less difference. The
explanation of these rules as to the
proper time for cutting is found III the
state of the sap at different times of
the day and night. From the earliest
dawn until shutdown the leaves are ac-
lively drawing upon the roots and the
sap is flowing freely. After that time
the leaves are nearly dormant till
morning. The plant is then resting

is asleep. A flower cut in the sunshine
will wilt at once, and if not put into
water will quickly perish, whereas if
cut at sunset it will remain fresh all
night. In a cool place it will not ap-
pear to change for long time, even if
not put lii water; yet in a close. hot
room it will fade in an hour. The
usual manner is to cut all flowers with
a long stem. Unnatural as it NAV
seem, the true way for the greater
part of our flOwerS) is to remove them
without a stem. Roses of all kinds
should be cut with long stem, the
longer the better, provided other buds
are not destroyed. The carnation and
all plants that bear their flowers in
clusters should be removed without
stems. The heliOtrOpe should be al
lowed very short stem, and the ver-
bena should only be cut as far down as
the first leaf. \ bit of wire or match
stick will serve for a stem. if it is de-
sired. to make of these stemlesS flowers
a bouquet. If they are to be placed in
shallow dishes-the best way to dispIav
them-stems are of no consequence.
Do not collect flowers in large bundles
or tie them together, as these processes
also hasten Decay. ]. Herald.

ships and went to Iceland. Here he
founded a colony which has lasted
through all the centuuies-a remarka-
bic community.
| Though Iceland was thus settled by
the Vikings, and although these sea-
rovers still followed their Wave-Wan-
dering life, we must believe that they
were no longer like "pyrates" of the
mainland One of these sailors was
Gunnbiorn, who, driven westward by a
storm, soon after the settlement of
Iceland, fell upon the shores of Green
land, to which region he gave the name
of Gnnbiorn's Rocks. He made his
way home again, for the strait between
| Greenland and Iceland is not SO wide
| but one may see the shores of each,
when midway between them, Of a clear
| day. He gave, like all discoveries, a
very glowing account of his new land,
but none went thither until the next
century.
In 9S5, Eric the Red, who, like In
golf, had been obliged to quit his own
country on account of his violence and
crimes, went to the new land in the
West. He established home for him
self, and, three years later, he was back
in Iceland with wonderful tale. In
the quaint language of the chronicle:
"In order to entice people to go to his
new country, he called it Greenland,
and painted it out as such an excellent
place for pasture, wood and fish, that
the next year he was followed thither
by twenty-five ships full of cOlOnists,
who had furnished themselves richly
with household goods and cattle of all
sorts; but only fourteen of these ships
arrived" The other eleven, we are
left to surmise, were wrecked on the
way.-St. Nicholas for July.

What Sleep Will Cure.

THE cry for rest has always been
louder than the cry for food. Not that
it is more important, but it is often
harder to get. The best rest comes
from sound sleep. Of two men or
women, otherwise equal, the one who
sleeps best will be the most moral,
healthy and efficient.
Sleep will do much to cure irritable
lty OF temper, peevishness and uneasi-
ness. 1t will restore to vigOr an over
worked brain. 1t will bind up and
make strong weary body. 1t will do
much to cure dyspepsia, particularly
that variety known as nervous dyspep-
STA. 1t will relieve the 1anguor and
prostration felt by consumptives. It
will cure hypochondria. 1t will cure
the blues. 1t will cure sorrow. In
deed, we might make a long list of
nervous maladies that sleep will cure.
The cure of sleeplessness, however,
is not so easy, particularly in those
who carry grave responsibilities. The
habit of sleeping well is one which, if
broken up for any length of time, is
not easily regained. Often a severe
illness treated by powerful drugs so
deranges the nervous system that sleep
is never sweet after it. Or perhaps
lOng-cOntinued WatchfulneSs produces
the same effect, or hard study, or too
little exercise of the muscular system.
or tea and whisky-drinking and tobac-
co-using. To break up the habits are
required:
A clean, good bed.
Sufficient exercise to produce Weari-
ness; and pleasant occupation.
Good air and not too warm a room.
Freedom from too much care.
A clean stomach.
A clear conscience.
Avoidance of StimulantS, narcotics
For those who are 6ver-Worked, hag-
gard, nervous, who pass sleepless
nights, we commend the adoption of
such habits as shall secure sleep: 9th
erWise life will be short, and what
there is Of it sadly imperfect. -Her0zd

Mrs. MOsher and Charley Ross.

A FEW weeks ago, a Boston detect
i've called at the Fifth Avenue Thea
ter, and explained to Mr.. Stephen
Fiske that he was in confidential COM
municatiOn with Mrs. Mosher. the
widow OF the man who had stolen
Charley Ross; that she was evidently
exercised in mind in regard to the Sc
cret of the boys fate; that she had
heard of the stolen child in "Pique,"
and was anxious to see the play if she
could come to the theater unobserved;
and he believed that, under the infu-
ence of the play she might be induced
to make the confession which she had
hitherto refused.
These facts having been represented
to Mr.. DAILY, he placed his own private
box at the service of the detective.
and next evening Mrs MOsher was
brought quietly to the theater. She
was plain, elderly woman, neatly at
tired in black, and was accompanied
by a female friend. During the prog
reSs of the trial she laughed and cried
with the rest of the audience, but
did not exhibit any special perturba-
ton until the last act. The sorrow of
the heroine, Miss Fanny Davenport,
then appeared to move her strangely.
When Miss Davenport exclaimed:
"He's deadr' Mrs. MOsher rocked her
self backward and forward and re-
peated: Hes dead! Yes, he's deadp'
The joy in the Renfrew family when
the stolen child was restored also af-
fected her deeply.
AT the close of the performance
Mrs. MOSher and the detective left the
theater as quietly as they had entered,
the detective whispering to Mr.. Fiske
as they passed: 81 think it has been
success" No further revelations We're
vouchsafed until Wednesday, when
Mr.. Christian K. Ross, the father of
the abducted boy, visited Superintend-
ent Walling, and held a long confer
ence in reference to some new cleWS
which have been discovered 1t is be-
lieyed communications have passed
between Mrs. Mosher and her brother,
WeStervelt, now under sentence in
MOyamensing Prison, and that the fate
of Charley Ross is shortly to be cleared
up.-N. Y. Sun.

the system by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the elasticity of mind and body which they
impart, and the disappearance which they
cause of those vague, uneasy feelings so diff
ficult to describe, are most encouraging
symptoms to the Responding invalid. The
sensation of returning health is a most de-
lightful one, and to enjoy it, those afflicted
with dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipa-
ton, intermittent or remittent fevers, lack of
vitality, sleeplessness, rheumatic, nervous

THE New York Surrogate's Court
had novel and rather nice question
before it for determination recently
in regard to the estate of a deceased
woman. The woman's husband, who
is a physician and who is also his late
wife's executor, made a claim against
her estate for professional services in
attending upon her during her last i'll
ness and for money paid another ply
stefan, who had also attended profess
sionany upon deceased. The whole
amount claimed was $1,000 The Sur
rogate held that the law in relation to
married women owning separate es-
tates has in no way changed the COM
mon law rule that a husband, as. such,
is bound to discharge all the just debts
of wife. He therefore disallowed
The claim.
