Gut flowers may be kept fresh for a
fortnight, it is said, by dissolving salam
moniac or chlOrhydrate OF ammonia with
the water IN which the stems are put. in
the proportion of about seventy-five

pertinent Is one which can be easily
made.
Analysis OF asparaeus-shoots, by A
Voegel, shows that the extremities con-
tain 10 sugar, though the stem, three or
four inches below. contains II to per
cent. The explanation is that the sugar
is used up IN the formation of cells,
which goes on actively IN the shoots.
The same is the rule With potato shoots.
The difficulty OF keeping fluid free
of living germs has misled many ply
sicists who attempted TO prove spontane-
Gus generation. Thus, If n liquid be
boiled for a considerable length of time,
Younger germs will be killed, but the
older ones will only be softened, and not
devitalized. Only by successive bOilings
can all the germs of varied ages be killed,
and sterile fluid, suitable for the crucial
test, be secured.
To take rust out of steel, place the
article in bowl containing kerosene oil,
or wrap the steel up in a soft cloth well
saturated with kerosene; let it remain
twenty four hours or longer; then scour
the rusty spots with brick-dust. If badly
rusted, use salt with hot vinegar, After
securing, rinse every particle Of brickdust
or salt off with beiling-hot water. Dry
thoroughly then polish off with clean
flannel cloth and a little sweet oil.
About the year 1900 coal was t1rst dis
covered in England on the banks of the
Tyne. and was introduced as fuel into
London about the year 1850. It's use,
however, was, in 1873, forbidden by proc
lamation, in consequence of its effluvia
being considered injurious to health. by
corrupting tie atmosphere, and for many
years it remained unused. At the close
of the century, however, the value of
coal became recognized, and its applica-
ton and consump ption extended.

In northern China people Of all ages
are dying of actual starvation by thou
sands. The famine extends over
district which includes at least 1000
villages, and it is said that at least five
hundred die daily. Houses are pulled
down in every village to sell the timber
and thatch in order TO get food. Those
who can get husks and dry Leaves,
ordinarily used for fuel, are considered
well of. Most of the poor young girls
have been sold old men, middle aged
men and young men and chiSdren die
daily of sheer starvation, I'D others
freeze. The dead can not ct a burial;
they are too many, and nsne can afford
the expense; so they are cast daily into
large pits. The people e. SHan7l are
said 10 be living on the corpses OF tnelT

Bob IngersOll's Notions of a
Future State.

A Post reporter dropped ia on Col.
Bob Ingersoll, with the request that he
would shed a little light en- the great
question of life and death. The Colonel,
though quite busy, consented to be in
terrupted, and wheeling his chair
around, said: " Fire away with your
questions"
According 70 your views, what dis
position Is made of man after death ?"
Upon that subject know nothing.
It is no more wonderful that man should
live again than that he now lives; upon
that question ] know Of no evidence.
The doctrine of immortality rests upon
human affection. We love therefore We
wish to live"
"Then you would not undertake to
say what becomes of man after death ~
"If l told or pretended to know what
becomes of man after death, would be
as dogmatic as are theologians upon this
question. The difference between them
and me is, am honest. I admit that ]
do not know.
"No one can control his own opinion
nor his own belief. Ny beliefwas forced
upon me by my surroundings. Iam the
product of all circumstances that have
in any way touched me. 1 believe in
this world. have no confidence in any
religion promising joys in another world
at the expense of liberty and happiness In
this. At the same time I wish to give
to others all the rights claim for my
self"
"What punishment, then. is inficted
upon man for crimes and wrongs com
mitted in this life?"
There is no such thing as an intel
Iectual crime. No man can commit a
mental crime. To become a crime it
must be beyond thought"
"What punishment is there for ply
sicsl crime7 ?"
"Such punishment as is necessary to
protect society and for the reformation
of the criminal"
If there is only punishment in this
world, will not some escape punish
ment ?"
II admit that all do not seem to be
punished as they deserve. / slso admit
that all do not seem to be rewarded as they
deserve and there is in this world, ap-
parently, as great failure in the matter
OF reward as in the matter of punishment.
If there is another life, a man will be
happier there for having acted according
to his highest ideal in this. But do
not discern in nature any effort to do
Justice. - Washington Post.

DIR. PIatt on Hell.

Rev. ". H. Plat, rector OF Grace
cbp4ch, san Francisco, is discussing the
doctrine Of hell IN his Sunday discourses
in rather peculiar manner. He argues
the existence of hell, not from a scriptural
standpoint, but from the propositions Of
science-the laws Of evolution, conserys-
ton and correlation of forces; the laws
of growth; affinity, association and pro
pagation in fact, taking the weapons Of
the skeptic and turning them against him
Here is the way DR.. Platt applies the
avs of affinity and association:
"Do you not see in all nature the law
of like to ike? Do not all things assort
themselves? What is the Law of chemical
affinity but the Law of coLgenial wediock ?
Now this law of attraction and repulsion
runs all through the universe. 50 with
people. They 90 together very much by
congeniality. The vicious naturally run
with each other, and the good just as
naturally fraternize. Just follow this
law of like to like out to its eternal con
sequences, and think you viii have hell
enough it is oonjectured that soul
enters the invisible world every second.
If one in every ten, or thousand, or a
million, be bad, after while you would
have somewhere in thst world multi
tude of devils. They would, acting upon
your law OF nature of like to like, natur-
ally make a local hell. By the Law OF
association evil is attractive to evil.
| Every city has its preliminary hells-its
slums, its bar-rooms, where human car
cases lie in beastly stuper, without
minds and in rags. One drunkard knows
and consorts with another drunkard a
common shame and love Of licentiousness
socialize and locaIize vile women
Thieves band together for crime and
safety. Human nature must have sym
pathy and companionship, though that
companionship makes hell apart in its
own solitary locality. If one evil spirit
bears g mental hell within, two evil
spirits make local hell without. Thev
hunt each other up, and if you think
such a set of fiends don't make local
hell, ] am sure they don't make heaven
anywhere"
