To Keep Flowers Fresh.

For keeping flowers in water, finely
powdered charcoal, in which the stalks
can be stuck at the bottom of the
vase, preserves them surprisingly and
renders the water free from any OBJ
noxious qualities.
When cut flowers have faded, either
by being worn q whole evening in ones
dress, oras bouquet, by cutting half
an inch from the end of the stem in
the morning and putting the freshly
trimmed end instantly into quite
boiling water, the petals may be seen
to becomequite smooth and to resume
their beauty often in few minutes.
Colored flowers carnations, azaleas,
roses and geraniums) may be treated
in this way. White flowers turn yell
low. The thickest-textuHed flowers
amend the most, although azaleas re-
vive wonderfully.
We have seen flowers that have lain
the whole night on the table after hav-
ing been worn for hours which at
breakfast next morning were perfectly
renovated by means OF cupful of hot
water.-Young Ladies' Fashion Bazaar.

IN THE WRONG HOUSE.
Meeting OF Old Friends Under Pecu-
liar Circumstances.

''It is well-known fact" said Capt.
Lees the other day, in the San Fran
cisco Examiner, "that q genuine En-
glish burglar never robs in the city
when he can find substantial-look-
ing dwelling out OF town to operate
on" This is not so much a matter of
caution, but probably arises from
the fact that in England the most
valuable plate is usually kept in the
fine country houses so numerous
there. Well, early this winter a coup

crib-crackers, landed here from the
Australian steamer, and, / believe, re-
ceived good deal OF attention as
possible English lords from the la
dies at the Palace for several days,
while they piped off the country.
Finally they marked with care a
noble mansion just out of town,
and the next night they were
on the ground and ready for
business. They waited until all the
lights were out and effected an entrance
in the basement without much trouble.
AS they proceeded cautiously upstairs
they became somewhat alarmed by the
second floor.
"Hit's bloody big 'ousehold, hisn't
it. Bill?' said one OF the crooks in q
whisper.
They found the dining-room at last,
and softly pried open the plate-closet.
1t contained about 200 tin plates and
a big keg of iron knives and forks.
eli suppose they takes their silver
up to bed with hem, blarst their
heyes!" muttered the other, and they
crept up stairs with their sandbags
ready for use.
The first door opened was that OF a
long room containing about hun
bred beds all filled with sleepers. In
the nearest of the lot a man sat up
suddenly and said in surprised
tone:
"Well, him blowed hif hit hain't

The startled burglars opened their

long since dead.

"Well, hi ham blowed!" said Gully,
with intense disgust. "Don't you
bloomin dummies twig that this ere's

at was indeed true, and with a loud
Shrek (that is, one per each) the inn
ported artisans fell senseless to the
floor!

Reasons for a Divorce.

The Druses sometimes divorce their
wives for apparently the most trivial
causes. Thus q man named Solei-
man Alfalfa had wife, Isbakyeh.
The woman frequently worked for us,
and on several occasions 1 had to
complain that, she talked too much
and worked too little. At length /
was obliged to tell Soleiman that,
owing to his wife's laziness, / could
employ her no longer. Shortly after
ward 1 went to England. On my re-
turn, after a couple of months alb
sence, was surprised to find that
Soleiman had divorced Isbakyeh, and
had already married another woman.
On inquiring from him the cause OF
this, he replied: "Your honor told
me that you would not employ my
wife again; so / thought would get
rid of her and marry another one
whom you would employ. BLACK.

And before the evening was out, Mr..

said Elmer.

Antiquity OF Rope making.

Before the beginning of the his
torical period considerable skill in
ropemaking had been acquired, enough
30 that it must be classed among the
Oldest arts. The existing relics Of the
ancient Egyptians include sculptures
showing the process OF manufacture
practiced more than 1000 years ago.
The Oldest records OF that people speak
OF 'well-made ropes Of good strength. "
Flax and fibres OF the date palm were
used in making some Of these ancient
ropes, but grasses and the skins Of
animals We're probable among the first
materials used.

Women OF tho North Have Won Thsiy

Women OF tho North Have Won Thsly
| Way by Feminine Tact.
The evolution OF the Swedish woman
toward equality with the Swedish man
furnishes instructive reading for the
sex everywhere. 1t is capital
illustration OF the rich fruits to be-
gathered when the gospel Of rnoder-
alton is faithfully preached and
practised. As wise as serpents. yet
harmless as doves. those ladies Of the
fair north won without striking blow,
| every concession which their sisters
over here have fought gallantly to
snatch from the grudging hands of
mankind. They worked warily from
the inductive system. judged the in
dividual, and applied the knowledge
thus gained to the whole body. Then,
appreciating the folly OF attacking the
citadel before storming the walls. they
laid siege to small tithes OF mint, anise
and cummin before assailing weightier
matters OF the law. With wit deserv-
ing OF success, leaders OF the woman
movement ignored political privileges
at the very outset, and devoted their
energies to righting small grievances,
knowing that the natural course OF
events would bring the ballot in good
time. Their first effort marked by
dignity and an entire lack of COM
bativeness, was directed toward OPEN
ing the universities on equal terms to
the sexes. This accomplished, their
next request was for the privilege Of
practising on equal terms the learned
professions acquired side by side with
male students. All commercial pur-
suits were then petitioned for as proper
callings for women qualified to- fill such
positions and thus, one after another,
barriers We're laid low by the strategy
that nolviolence could have captured.
Had there been the noisy campaign Of
the uncompromising suffragist to
drown their voices, it is extremely
doubtful how fast or how far the pro-
gressionists would have been permitted
to advance. But there were no battle
fields, no heroines, no martyrs and so,
with cordial grace, the Swedish men
granted whatever the prudent, forbear-
ing Swedish woman wanted. It is
pleasing and grateful history to read
OF the gradual unfolding of womanly
ambitions, fostered by manly sympathy.
