Preserving Flowers Natural Colors.

A method of preserving the natural
colors of flowers, recommended in the
Deutsche Botanische Monatshefte, con
sists in busting salicylic acid on the plants
as they lie in the press and removing 1t
again with brush when the flowers are
dry. Red colors in particular are well
preserved by this agent. Another method
of applying the same preservative Is to
use a solution of one part of salicylic
acid in fourteen of alcohol by means OF
blotting paper or cotton wool soaked in
it and placed above and below the flow
ers. Powdered boracic acid yields nearly
as good results. DR.. Schonland recon-
mends, as an improvement in the method
of using sulphurous acid for preserving
the color, that in the case of delicate
flowers they might be placed loosely be-
tween sheets of vegetable parchment be-
fore immersion in the liquid, SO as to
preserve their natural form.-Home

The Life of an Actor.

Considering the restless life that nine
tenths of the actors lead, the wonder Is that
they are not more at the mercy Of theatrical
Spectators than is the case. One Of them
said to mo last winter: 1rtDf
The working actor has no business to
marry, for he can never have a home.
People talk of stock companies, and my
friends outside of the profession tell me that
ought to join stock company, SO as to be
able to live in Now York all winter and have
home Of my own. Doyou know how many
applications Daniel Frohman had last sum
mer from people who wanted to be engaged

Jump at the chance Of playing footman at

an actor today is the life OF . dog; it Is

A:gravating to the Eye.

1t is q curious fact that most Of the
stout and red faced women at Long
Branch are prodigal in the use of red
parasols, and the stouter and the redder
they are, the bigger and brighter arc
their sun shades One can but think Of
glorifed beets in looking at them. On a
cloudy day or in cloudy country, or as
bit of color to light up landscape, tie
red parasol does very wei, but it best
fulfills its mission in color and size over
the mead of great church dignitary, a
bronze faced Buddhist priest, or the fruit
stall of black eyed Roman market
woman. Taken collectively, with the
sand, the sea. and the sun all a-glitter-
ing, the red parasol is an aggravation to
the eye.-New York Press.

When the Austin Dispatch pub
lished the statement that Senator
Coke had iixnd up, or manipulated a
trade between Senator Reagan and
the prohibitionists whereby Reagan
was to fl a chair In the senate and a
long-telt want in the prohibition party,
THE EXAMINER asked for the proof, at
the same time we confess to feeling
some uneasiness for the czsr of Texas
democracy for we remembered the
sudden flop of several prominent pro-
hibitionists, who stood high in Coke's
favor, to Reagan. When the Dis
patch refused to give the proof upon
Tile EXAMINER's demand, but all
swered that this office was fully cog
nlzsant OF the trade, we felt some
what reassured, but now that the
ToXarkana Times, the leading and
most able of Coke organs
in fact the only auti-prohibition
paper in the state that has
been licking his boots, comes up and
demands the proof of the Dispatch
and IL skulks out aud refuses to give
evidence which it processes to have
at its fingers ends, and which the
public should have it exists. We
are inclined II believe that the whole
thing is creature of the vivid imag
ins'ion of Moses and is worthy of nc

vote. A few saloons may have sold
out to Mr.. Brinkerhoff, and
the men who voted the
negro gamblers aud crap sho oters for
prohibition last summer are largely
for him, aud propose to pole large
portion of the same dtlectable vote

hibition vote is not the vote controlled
by a few saloons which biennialy
make merchandise of their influence,
