Not a Good Outlook.

BosToN, April 23.-A special from Bangor
says: about lao, 900 feet of logs are on
the landings In the Penobscot numbering re-
gions representing value Of nearly $1.400,-
900 and the owners of these, as well as the
manufacturers on the river are beginning to
feel a little anxious about getting their logs
into the main streams. Driving cannot be
carried on successfully without rain. The
melting Of the snow may give them water
enough to float the logs but not much can be
done.

KEEPING FLOWERS.
How They May BE Preserved in ~ TI,eiI
Fragrance and Beauty.

How They May BE Preserved in ~ TIteiI
fragrance and Beauty.
A great deal has been written on the
preservation of cut flowers but ~the
matter is still imporfectly understood
by most people. It is important to
know, not only how to take care OF
them after being cut, but how to cut
them. On this latter point a practical
hint may be Of service to our readers.
1t might not occur TO them that il
made any serious difference whether
the stems were broken off or cut with
the knife or scissors. 4 sharp knife is
the right tool for this purpose, as it
leaves the sap vessels OF the stems
open for the absorption Of water,
while scissors crush and compress
these vessels SO that their absorptive
power is more or less destroyed Like
injury may be done by breaking off
the stems, especially il they are tough.
II the iioWers are put into water i'm
lnedlateiy the ends OF the stems should
be cut with a sharp knife, as the sap
vessels will probably have become
clogged with coagulated matter
Cut fowers often suffer from too dry
atmosphere. 1t is difficult to avoid
this ia our artiieialy-heated rooms,
but We may at least put the blossoms
in the coolest part OF the room. Near
window, and especially in q bay-win-
dow, the temperature is generally sew
eral degrees lower than in other
parts OF the room, as you will see if
you test it with a theGaaometer. The
best authorities say, moreover, that
the lowers should have the benefit of
light, and even Of sunshine in most
cases, though there is popular preju-
dice against exposing them to the lat
ter. ON the other hand they suffer, as
plants do, FROM sudden alterations of
temperature and from draughts.
In the case OF the blossoms that fall
to pieces easily, it is q good idea to

THE CONTESTS.

1t is given out in recent dispatches to
Republican papers that the Democrats
will filibuster over the contested cases
in congress. There are, probably, no
Dem Gratis elected TO the congress now
in Washington, and certainly no author
ity for such statement. There are
seventeen contestants for the seats of
Democrats, all but one from the South.
1t would be exceedingly convenient if
by some new and short method the Re
publicans could at once. on converting,
exchange most of these seventeen DEM
ocrats for their own partisans. 1t would
relieve all discomfort from narrow
margin. The precedents warrant the
supposton that most of the contestants
from the South rely upon partisanship
more than votes cast for their seats.
The Democrats will probably insist
upon adherence to the rules in use here
tofore, and the disposition of contests
in the customary routine after full in
vestigation. They will not consent to
any wholesale railroad methods simply
tomeet the exigencies of the majority.

WHAT UTAH SHOWS.

The prejudice against the MormonS
growing out of their patriarchal con-
nubial practices has kept the general
eye from taking an accurate estimate of
the material developments of the terri
tory they have controlled. If the recent
voting in Salt Lake City is legitimate
result of the relative growth of the
church and Gentle elements, and is to
lead to the overthrow of the priestly
domination, the consideration of state
hood in connection with that population
will soon be pressing upon attention.
The report of the committee of the last
congress that Investigated the stu
alton presents many facts not generally
appreciated. Utah is credited with a
population of about 100000, which is
much greater than has usually been
deemed necessary in new state, and
more than some of those now coming in
can show. The products of the
territory are not far from forty
million dollars annually, and there
are varied and extensive manufactures,
besides large mineral resources that
have a good deal of capital invested in

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Mr.. HEWITT has returned from tour
over the water and the Paris exposition,
and talks to his ambitious townsmen
quite plainly about their worlds fair
scheme. He assures them resolutions
and oratorical paragraphs will not secure
it. He paralyzes them with talking
about raising $4,000, 900, and insists that
it is "a farce for nation with a prohib-
itory tariff to invite the world to a fair"
He needs little of the elixir of the
French scientist in his mind. In spite
of the tariff, good many things do
come from abroad. Only three of the
nations have larger trade in and out.
1t might be larger under more favor
able laws, but other countries will come,
and the United States can get up
splendid show from its own resources
if need be. But his advice to the New
Workers to raise the money is peril
nent. The disposition there has been to
do the ornamental work. and let other
people provide the means.

ton here. The trip from New Orleans
to Washington was made without Incl
dent, and there was no demonstration
at the station. At eight minutes past 2
the presidents private coupe, driven
by Albert Hawkins, arrived at the
White house. AS the president and Mr..
Halford allghted, score of newspaper
men and others who had assembled on
the main portico pressed forward. AS
they did so the president lifted his hat
to the crowd. and said smilingly, 'How
dye do. Much obliged for this recep-
tion." The president sent telegram
to Mrs. Harrison soon after reaching
the White house informing her of his
arrival, and also that he would accom-
pany her to Deer Park. Mrs. Harrison
will leave Narragansett by boat to-
night, and will take a through train
from New York to Deer Park. She
will be joined at the Baltimore 6 Ohio
station by the president at o'clock to-
