KEEPING FLOWERS FRESH. - All
that is necessary to keep flowers fresh
is to keep them moist, fresh and cool.
If people, instead of dipping flowers in
water, would simply wrap them up in a
wet newspaper, they would find that
they would keep far fresher over night.
A wet towel or napkin would be too
heavy, and crush the blooms too much,
and besides, it would allow the moisture
to evaporate too easily.
Gagged Birds Never let a bird
cage hang in a room where the gas is
alight, unless it is exceptionally well
ventilated the air near the ceiling is
always the most impure at night. Set
the cage ON the floor, and you will find
the birds health improves. After the
gas has been alight for some time, put
your head near the ceiling, and see how
you would like to sleep in such an at
mosphere.

'No, George" said a sagacious wife
at a summer hotel. 81 can't think of
having you come here to spend Sunday,
after working hard in your office all
the week. You need rest and recrea-

stay in the city aud enjoy yourself. !"

wife remains, Score one for the woman.

ACCIDENT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TARY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CoNDI-
TON OF MND.-In an action to recover
the weekly indemnity upon an accident
policy-Scheiderer VS.. Travellers In
surance Company--the complaint stated
that "when it was quite dark, and
while he was in dazed and unconscious
condition of mind, and not knowing or
realizing what he was doing, he invol-
UNFAIRLY arose from his seat and walked
unconsciously to the platform of the
car, and without fault on his part, fell
therefrom to the ground, and was
thereby injured" The company in
sisted that they were not liable for this
casualty, as it was not accidental, but
the result of the action of the plaintiff.
The trial Court sustained this position
of the defendant, and the plaintiff APP
pealed to the Supreme Court of Wis
consin, where the judgment was re-
versed. Judge Orion in the opinion
said at is not necessary to wander
away and get lost in that wilderness
more dark than groves of fir on HuTon's
shore, the wilderness of mind, to ascer-
tain the precise condition of the mind
of the plaintiff as stated in the COM
plaintswhen the acci6, mt occurred ; and
it is useless to speculate as to the re-
mote causes of that condition--whether
drunkenness, utter prostration, SOM
nalnbulism, brain disease or derange-
ment of faculties-beyond, aside or in
contradiction of the complaint. The
allegations of the complaint show a
cause of action against the company.
What occurred happened, it is stated,
while the plaintiff was unconscious,
and that his action was involuntary.
These are the strongest words which
could be used to negative self-implica.
ton, design or voluntary exposure
which are the only conditions material
TO the case which exempt the company
from liability. In respect to the cause:
of this mental condition of the plaintiff
it must also be accepted as true that h,
went to sleep from WEAKNESS and thu
motion of the cars, and never awoke tt
consciousness or volition until the in
| jury had happened. 1t is evident thai
he was entirely irresponsible. y Pnila

No Time for 1t.

1t is question whether we can fairly
or honorably plead that we have no
time to attend to duties. Our pleasures
may be crowded out, our plans for adj
vancement or money-getting may not
find sufficient time for their fulfillment;
but if we have no time to fulfill the
duties to others that our place in life
demands something is wrong. Either
we are doing too much needless work
or we are trying to do work that justly
belongs to others. 1t is told of Philip
Of MacedOn that poor old woman
came to his place many times in vain to
ask redress for wrongs that had been
done. After many attempts she OBJ
tanned an audience with the King, only
to be rebuffed by him, as she had been
by his attendants. ~ am not at leisure
to hear yOu," he replied, abruptly, when
she began her story. "NO ?" was her ex-
clamation ''then you are not at leisure
to be King" This view of the matter
quite COMPOUNDED the King. A few
moments he thought upon it in silence.
Thenhe told the old woman to go on with
her case, heard her to the end, and then
gave orders that those who had wronged
her should be punished, and restitu, ion
made to her. And ever after this he
made it point to listen TO all appli-
cations brought before him, repeating
to his cOurtiers, who objected to his
troubling himself, the lesson that the
poor woman had taught him-that if
he was not at leisure to hear the plea
Of his humblest subject he was not at
leisure to be King.

Hire Him to Pitch for
Philadelphia.

In Scotland they have narrow, open
bitches, which they call sheep. drains.
A man was riding donkey one day
across sheep pasture, but when the
animal came to the sheep-drain he would
not go over it. So the man rode him
back to short distance, turned him
around and applied the whip, thinking,
of course, that the donkey, when going
at the top of his speed, would jump the
drain before he knew it. But not so.
When the donkey got to the drain he
stopped all of sudden, and the man
