Those who read the daily reports of the
progress OF cholera In Spain can hardly fail
10 be impressed by the appalling proportion
OF deaths. Thus, on one day last week.
there were 500 new cases and 800 deaths. or
almost exactly two-ffths as many deaths as
new cases And every day for week the
number Of deaths has been about, and usually
little over, one-third of the cases reported
Another notable fact Is that the religious
superstltlons and ignorance Of the people of
Spain greatly swell the death harvest. Mobs
gather to resist the cleaning and fumiga-
ton OF dwellings and other sanitary regula-
lions; the new remedy Of incubation is re-
fused by the uneducated, just as vaccination
for smallpox was and is; the disease is con-
cealod from the authorities as much as posi-
BILE; and often the doctors are resisted and in
danger OF being mobbed. The superstitious
and ignorant frequently depend upon holy
relics, prayers by priest and other vain de-
lusions, as they did In Italy last year. Riot.
squalor, ignorance, superstition. and danger
GUS diet all help the cholera to kill its vie
Tins.

Lightning has killed 1909 persons in France
since 1888. An equal number have been seri-
ously, though not fatally, wounded, and five
tlmes as many struck. The hot years were
the most fatal, and These are remarkable as
having been the best wine seasons. There
has not been single death from lightning in

1864, though there have been many violent

CUT FLOWERS.
Some Suggestions Relative to,thsir Preser-

Some Suggestions Relative to.tI,sir Preser-
walton.
An important rule, though seldom
regarded, is never to cram the vases
with flowers; many will last if only they
have q large mass of water'in, the vase.
and mot too many stalks to, fBsd on the
water and pollute it. Vases that can
hold a large quantity of'water are much
to be preferred to the spiaalle-shaped
trumpets that are often ased. Flat
dishes filled with vet sand are also USE
full for short-stalked or .hsavy-headed
flowers: even partially wibAered blooms,
will revive when, placed on this cool
moist substance. Moss though fa.'
prettier than sandl. is to. be avoided, as
it soon smells disagreeaSis. and alwa..s
interiors with the sceRf Of the t1Owass
placed in it fou preservation.
In the case OF flowers that grow sYssv
in a cool temperature and suffer a:ien
thew get into warm and dry air, alb that
we can do is, to lessen evaporation as
much as possible. and when SUCH tlow-
ers have hairy stems and leaves, n sub
merge the1,fora minute. SO THAI by Ca
pillary attraction they may continue to
keep themselves naoist and csoi; but
this is dangerous to table-clotas or pol
ished surfaces, unless care be taken that
the posits of the leaves 90 not hang
down 20 prevent dripping.
Another means Of prevents, g delicate
and sweet-sceDted flowers frtm flag
gir.g is to cut them with ssxeral leaves
on the stem, and, when the, flower head
is placed in water, to allow only this
lead to remain above the. water. while
the leaves are entirely submerged; by
this means the leaves seem to help sup
port the flower, which will then last for
three days in fairly cool room. Free
auent cutting of the stem is Of great
use; but with all flowers by far the hest
plan is to put them outside, exposed to
dew or rain, during the night. when
they will regain strength enough to last
on for days. All New Holland plants,
particularly flowing acacias, are benefit
ed wonderfully by this apparent cruelty
and will even stand slight frost far
better than hot room at night indoors.

Way to Enjoy the Watermelon.

If YOU don't care how you get a
watermelon. and want it to taste as q
melon should taste-as nature intended
it should taste-you don't want to fill it
full of ice and claret. A watermelon, to
taste right. must be brought from a
neighbor's melon patch II the dead of
night, while the old man and his shot
gun are sound asleep. In selecting one,
take a half dozen, and don't be too
particular about the yellowish spot
which hugs mother earth. Take them
to the nearest woods and serve with an
axe, if you have been out ''cOoning."
There are thousands of boys from the
cornfields of Michigan to the melon
patches of Georgia who will s:and by us
