The aggregate endorsement under this

about the same as.for the old Pacific Rail
road. 1t has long been supposed that the
Vicksburg, Memphis and New Orleans
branches were appended merely to draw
vots from those parts of the South, and that
the real object is to get first the aid for the
main line, and second, to extend the Attain
tic and Pacific line via st. Loui S, so as t
torn a through line from the north Allan
tic cities all the way tots e Pacific under one
management. 1t is 4 part of the new eff

PRESERVING FLOWERS, ETC.

Many flowers and leaves may be beauti-
fully preserved by covering them in every
part with melted sperm. The simplest way
is to cut a candle into pieces and melt it in
an old saucer on the back OF the rallge-it
must not be hot enough to saloke.>o First
dip in the stems the sperm will harden al
most at once, so that the stem may he held
while flnn1ersing the flower or blade of the
Leaf. Dip but once and that quickly. The
process is too severe for, delicate petals,
melting them as it acre together; of Others
the heat will change the colors. Yaricgated
leaves such as those of the P%slargoniums.
Naples, Iyies and fsncy-leaved Caladiums
will perhaps give tlM best satisfaction.
When arranged into boqlqts or wreatfs
they are Less Liable to curl if protected by a
glass globe. like those used tor WAN flow
ers; still, it not so projected with q little
care in keeping them out oftlle dust and in
a coolish atmosphere they Mill retain their
form and eolors for months. gt i&E,& *
FERNS may be selected any time during
the summer but one must carry a large book
while gathering them. Subject the book to
Il pressure until the tronds are perfectly dry,
1t is well then to press them With an iron.
Perhaps The best way to preserve AL
tHmn leaves is to iron them immediately at
upon which white wax has been rubbed {;
iron each surface but once apply wax for
each Leaf. $1,000 itaat
