To Preserve Flowers Under Water.

The following is a description OF the pro-
cess by which a bouquet of flowers can be
preserved fresh for long time: \ vessel of
water is required; the vessel should be large
enough to allow the submersion il it Of a
plate or dish holding the bouquet to be pre-
served and a bell glass to cover the bouquet
The dish or plate should contain no moss or
other material; the water should be limpid
and quite pure. Place the plate at the bot
tom OF the water, and on the plate, submerg-
ing it, place the bouquet which is maintained
in an upright position by weighted base
previously attached to it. This being done
the bouquet is covered with bell glass the
rim of which ought to Git exactly to the fat
part Of the plate: the bell glass should be en-
tirely filed with water, and without the
least air bubble. Then, all raised together,
plate, boquet and bell glass filed with water,
and placed on table, carefully wiping the
exterior, but leaving on the plate, around the
base of the bell glass. Il little provision Of
water which prevents the entrance of air.
The flowers in this condition viii be pre-
served in all their freshness for several weeks,
and their beauty is increased by a great num-
Der OF bubbles of gas produced by the res
piration OF the leaves, and which attach
themselves t. the petals, appearing like
pearls Tho edge of the plate and the water
that il contains should be concealed by a
light bed Of moss in which are set some other
flowers In the evening. 10y artificial light, a
bouquet thus arranged produces charming

Patients in the County Hospital.

"We get some queer articles here" said
Custodian Sullivan, Of the County hospital,
CHANGING at the great safe in which are kept
the money and valuables of patients; "but
We don't get much cash. As a rule our
patients are without a nickel when they come
here Not one in five has as much as fifty
cents Some have three cents, some seven,
eighteen, thirty and SO on. Occasionally a
man comes in who fumbles around inside of
his clothes, or if badly hurt or very sick tells
us how to do it for him, and pulls out big
roll. have seen as much as $500 taken off
a public patient. Their clothes are taken
from them, you know, and if worth saving
are kept until they are able to leave. In per-
hapS a majority of cases the clothing is unfit
for use, and is destroyed, and upon recovery
the patient is given a suit Of hospital clothing
But how they do complain whenever an
article is not returned to them that they
brought in. have seen old dodgers raise a
fuss about an oreide collar button, such as
you can buy six for nickel. Every missing
article suddenly becomes Of great value If it
was worth ten cents when it came in it will
be worth s. or s. when the patient is ready
to take it away and it CAM be found. In
such cases cotton instantly becomes silk and
brass precious metal. \ good many patients
have nothing like gratitude for the care the
institution has taken of theGs and the treat
ment they have received, but so away cursing
the hospital for robbing them of an old jack
knife or a dirty shirt, or some such article,
and threatening 10 sue for damages. Under
our present system Of taking care of valuables
and clothing there are very few missing ar
ticles, though Chicago Herald Interview.

English Lie in the Country.

The whole system of life in the country
tends to make the lower. and even the mid
die, class look up to and revere the lords. The
roads throughout England are the finest il
the world, macadamized in the heart of the
mountains, and kept up in the most distant
quarters of the kingdom, because the aristo-
Gratis live far apart. and must travel with
ease when they visit each other The poor
are thus better of through the luxury of
their masters. SO, too, the post is delivered
daily, or oftener, at every house in England,
because the gentry and nobility must have
their letters promptly, and again the peasant
and the middle-clasS men benefit by the
necessity These things have been mentioned
to me as advantages OF aristocratic rule The
people are taught that they would suffer were
the present system changed: and doubtless in
some instances those who are dependent
would be less comfortable Bdaeaus

upon the cellar stairs. The judge, desiring to

THE REWARDS OF JOURNALISM.

The I,ulk of Journalists Receive Moder-
ate Salaries-Dyins in Poverty.
An insurnountable objection to journal
ism, as to every order Of composition, is that
it is not progressive, financially. The novice,
if accepted at all, will be as well paid, con-
sidering his liability to added responsibilities
wife children and the rest-as the man Of
ripe experience and maturity; indeed, he viii
be better paid The bulk of journalists of
long experience, even in New York, where
their compensation is higher than anywhere
else, do not receive $500 annually. How
far will that go toward supporting a family?
Most of them are exhausted after fifteen
years or SO of continuous service, and their
earning capacity is in danger of retrograd
ing
When fairly worn ont what is their pros
pect. They are privileged to die at their
own expense. Their long service has I'M
fitted them for any other business, and their
circumstances are desperate indeed. They
have been unable to save anything; they are
not peusioned: they have broken health and
poverty for reward. Who knows of sal
aried journalist vino has gained even the
most modest independence by pursuit of his
profession. The position, too, is always pre-
carious: he may lose it at any time from 10
fault of his own. His destiny is in the hands
Of the managing editor, or any controlling
stakeholder, who may object to the color Of
his eyes, or the curve of his nose, and dis
charge him therefor. The press may be free
its liberty frequently runs into license-but
lie is often little less than a serf. The history
of journalism is marked by the graves of
journalists, dead from anxiety, annoyance
and overwork by or before middle age
Nevertheless, journalism is the least unre-
munerative and unsatisfactory of any form

altogether worse, and cannot be long fol-
lowed by persons averse to mourning obliga
