Flowers decay much sooner when tiec

Too little air and too much water are the

ature. When gathering flowers use q
pair of sharp shears, or knife for woody
plants, such as roses. camellias, splreas

1t is far better to gather your flowers
than to let them fade upon the plants.
A cool room is best adapted for keeping

Take away each flower us it fades or i

Hot water will often restore flowers tc

hot water; let them remain until eacl

WHAT TIE FIGURES SAY.-The MAORI
ty in the Senate having made the mistake
of stirring up Mr.. Blaine on the ratio of
congressional representation in different
states, are now reaping the consequences.
He has been treating them to some un-
comfortable figures from familiar manu-
al-Thc Compassionate Directory. The
average vote in u northern congressional
district, he finds, is 10000; in u southern
district, only $4,000. Last year the north
crn states polled close on 100000 votes,
and elected 1S3 representatives., while the
southern states elected LOG representatives
with q vote of less than 100000. From
250, 900 to 100000 more votes were cast
for the republican minority in congress
than for the democratic majority. Only
80 southern congressional districts cast
more than 10000 votes, while in the north
III districts did. In the south there were
- districts which cast less than 15,000
votes, and Georgia elected three represen-
tatives by total votes of 1900, 5000 and
3,400 respectively, and several were below
S000 in the north there were only two
districts where the vote was less than 49,
900. The state of Nebraska, with $4,000
votes, has one representative, while $4,000
votes in certain southern districts which
Mr.. Blaine named sent twelve members tC

senator's to explain these vast differences,

one suffers intensely from wound
through the foot. My sympathy is eXcit-

moment are doing nothing, | ask for half
an hours leave. Getting it, accompany
him back into the woods to one of the
second corps field hospitals. Here, groan-
ing loudly he awaits his time, which soon
comes. We left him on the rude table. A
surgeon holds chlorofOrm to his nostrils,
and under its influence he lies rs if in
death. The boot is removed, then the
stocking, and see Il great ragged hole on
the sole of the foot where the ball came
out. Then hear the coatless surgeon
who is making the examination cry out:
the cowardly whelp!
So | edge around and look over the
shoulders of the assistant surgeon, and
see that the small wound on the top of the
foot, where the ball entered, is covered
with powder! !, too, mutter, The coward!

Sentiment and Reflection.

Study books to know how things ought
to be; study men to Know how things are.
The whisper of beautiful woman can
be heard farther than the loudest yell Of
duty.
In memory's mellowed light, we be-
hold not the thorns; we see only the
beautiful flowers.
A man that keeps riches and enjoys
them not, is like an ass that carries gold
and eats thistles.
When man speaks the truth you may
count pretty surely that he possesses most
other virtues.
If you sweep your own door steps you
will have little time to criticise those of
your neighbor.
Don't carry your head so high that you
cannot see stumps in your way over which
you may stumble.
Women are extreme in all points. They
are better or worse than men.
