To Preserve Flowers.

Chicago Times.
At this time, when cut fDwers fade
so soon, it is well to know that if a
small bit of the stem is cutoff and the
end immersed in very hot water, the
flower will4requently revive and re-
sumo its beauty. Colored flowers are
more easily rejuvenated han white
ones, which are apt to turn yellow.
For preserving flowers in water finely
pulverized charcoal should le put into
the vase at this season, Where vines
are growing in water charcoal will pre-
vent foul odors from thu standing
water.

Sleepless people, says Health and
Home, should court the sun. The
very worst .soporiflc is laudanum, and
the very best is sunshine. Therefore
it is plain that the poor sleepers should
pass as many hours of the day in the
sunshine and as few in the shade as
possible. The injurious effect of the
shade is very noticeable in plants
growing in secluded places and ladies
who are, accustomed to carry sun
shades. The invigorating power of
sunlight is infinite, and he whose
sky is tawny seldom requires pill.

The Snow-Storm.
The old Earth living bare and cold j..

The old Earth lying bare and cold.
Beneath the winter sky,
Beheld the storm-king marshal forth
His battle force on high.
"Ah. soon." she said, ''beneath the snow
Full warmly | shall lie
The wind unfured his banners
And rushed into the fray,
The round moon hid her jolly face
Within cloud of gray,
And not one single star peeped out,
To drive the gloom away.
The snow, encamped behind cloud,
Sent flying, here and there,
Its white-wnged heralds to proclaim
Its presence in the air;
Until. at last, the fairy host
Burst from its cloudy lair.
The snow flakes rushing downward.
Each in a whirling dance,
Before the winds are driven
Like armies by the lance;
But still, upon the waiting Earth
The shining hosts advance.
The wild wind. shrieking as he goes,
Flies fiercely to and fro,
And strives, with all his mighty force,
To sweep away the snow;
But bravely still the soft flakes fail
Upon The Earth below.
All white and swift it settles down,
Though Boreas howl and storm.
Till soft as Summers green the robe
1t folds about her form;
No drapery of leaf and flower
Could make the Earth 50 warm.
1t charges with no battle-cry:
But pure, and soft, and still,
L falls upon the waiting Earth,
lis promise to fulfill:
And foils the angry, shrieking wind
BY force of gentle will.
The foe has furled his banners,
And FASTENED from the fray;
The round moon peeps with Jolly face
From out the cloud of gray;
And all the stars come tWinklIng out
TO see who gained the day.
There all the earth lay shining,
In garments pure and whites
The snow fulfilled its mission.
And, conquering in the tight,
Had warmed the old Earth to the heart,
Beneath lis mantle white.
