there are multitudes OF others which
lie hidden In quiet brooks and bloom in
secluded corners, and the ferns which
arc everywhere in their wondrously del
cate forms.
When your search for the day is over
and basket or box is well-nighh filled
you must carry your treasure home and
care for them at once. All that are
fresh can be arranged without delay,
but the most delicate oLes, which you
will find wiIted and: dropping, must be
sprinkled with lukowarm water and laid
away over night in cool dark place.
Then, when the sweet, soft hours OF
darkness have done their part, the ten
der buds and blossoms will be revived,
and they too can be arranged and cared
for.
To properly press your flowers so that
their color as well rs their form may he
preserved, it will be necessary to work
promptly and without delay. You must
provide Yourself with number OF sheets
OF drying paper, and upon one OF them
spread your specimens, one at a time,
being careful TO have them smooth and
free from wrinkles. When the sheet Is
as full as is possible, without crowdlng,
cover the leaves and flowers with a
second piece Of drying paper, and lay
four sheets over and under those which
hold the plants. Then put your flowers
under heavy press, and when all your
specimens have been so arranged and
treated, let them remain undisturbed
for twelve full hours. At the end Of that
time change all the papers and press
again, this time for three or four days,
after which the plants and flowers
should be ready to mount. Mounting
is the next step in the making OF
this folio, and it may be done as the
plants and flowers are pressed or at
the close of the season, when all are
gathered and prepared; but unless you
have plenty of space in which TO store
Your business, 1t will be wise to follow
the former plan. You must purchases
supply of mounting paper and have 1t
cut into sheets Of the size which you in

wonder how many of the young peo-
pie who are busy enjoying these long
summer days know how Ito prepare and
make dainty folio of pressed plants.
1t Il, first of all, accessory to provide
themselves with light basket or a tin
box, and when you are ready TO start
upon your ramble, to put into it thick
layer of damp moss. Then, as you
walk through the lanes and follow the
wondering brooks, keep your eyes wide
open for all the lovely blossoms and the
interesting plants; and as you pluck
each one lay it carefully upon the moss,
which you must keep moist all the
while. You will find during the weeks
to come asters in anumber Of varieties,
golden rod in abundance, the pretty
fawn blossom, the beautiful cardinal
flower, the evening primrose and the
lovely gentian. Besides all of which

smoothly over the whole, press the
edges and put 1t under heavy weight
to dry. When you have done all this
and when the paste is firm and hard you
will have handsome, spacious folio,
which will hold large number Of
mounted sheets.
The second folio is made after diff
fercnt manner from the first, aud has
two separate covers joined by hinge
made of laced cord. They are covered
with gray chamois skin, and are deco
rated with ferns which are spattered
with ink, after peculiar fashion of
which you shall learn all there Is TO
know.
Two pieces of cardboard arc cut out
OF the same proportions as those des-
cribed for the preceding folio. These
you must cover neatly with gray cham
OILS skin and line with watcred silk OF
the same color. Then along one side Of
each board, at quarter OF an inch
from the edge and at intervals OF one
and a hall inches, you must punch
small round holes with an ordinary
shoemaker's punch, and through them
lace gray silk cord in such a way as 10
form hinge from an inch to an inch
and a half In width. When all these
things are done the folio will be COM
plete, and the work OF decoration can
be begun. The spattered ferns arc not
effective. but they are peculiarly well
suited TO the cover OF pressed flower
folio, but the process is by no means a
new one. CLARA DUycE.

Newark boys who were bitten by

"Why, of course; who doesnf?
"Well, it's quite easy 70 cure disease
that never existed. Those boys never
had hydrophObia and never would have

ing that excitement we went to New

excitement was all over they were given

them. Not ono was killed. Not one OF
them had anything worse than a NJ.
Why. our men who are constantly
handling dogs, get bitten again and
again, but they never dream OF having
hydrophobia. It's a myth. There
isn't any such thing"

heard Of 1t. The dog had a fit, that
was all. It's a shame the way people
viii shoot valuable dogs just. for a fit
that might easily be cured or avoided"
"How would you treat dog to pre-
vent fits? How would you take care Of
him in summer" asked.
81 would have Il dish Of water set
where be could always get at it and I
wouldn't feed him too much. A dog
ought to be fed very little meat, es-
peclally one that Is kept much in the
house. If dogs are pampered and lazy
and overfed they are likely TO have fits.
Fits are the result Of these causes par
ticularly, and of heat. You never see a
lean, homeless cur In tt. They have
to fight for what they get and don't get
more than Is good for them. Petted
dogs are the most liable to sickness.
Why, one time young chap came In

splendid great big fellow-shot for
hydrOphobia. we won't shoot him,

sure enough. But We gave him nothing
TO eat. Next morning he was all right

petite. When the owner came in he
was delighted.
"'What did you give him?' he said.
"'We gave him nothing at ALL re-
piled. You feed him too much, that Is
all Mistaken kindness is the cause OF
all the trouble. Dogs should get plenty
o; exercise and water, but not too much
food"

ON AN ACE OF HEARTS.
The Goodness With Which n Russian
Prince Ended bis Life.

These Russians are certainly differ
entity constituted from us. With their
temperament of refined civilization and
savage barbariSm they do the most
astounding things in the most uneX-
pected way.
IL was thus Boris Mirskow amazed
me yesterday by relating in the coolest,
most nonchalant manner, the strange
end OF his Irritation with the Princess
de L.
Now this. handsome blonde Boris is n
delightful comrade, charming, sauve,
with the doll-baby face of Il woman, the
last one in the world l would ever i'm
agine such u wild, extraordinary adven
ture could happen to. 1t makes me
shudder to think of it.
"You knew the Prince do l." he
said; lat least you knew him by repu-
tation. A cripple from birth, nailed to
his chair, he had but one passion in
life-gambing. His feeble hands had
barely strength sufficient to hold and
shuttle the cards. In return, his head
was extremely cool, his intelligence
more than ordinarily clear. No one
knew better than he the combinations
OF ecarte. He was called the Moltke OF
gamblers.
"AS TO the princess, what Partisan
does not know her and her history?
When l was taken into her favor they
said l was the twentieth, only counting
the distinguished ones.
1.-THE prince took everything In the
most philosophical manner. He made
point of seeing nothing. When they
spoke OF deceived husband before him
he would always ask, "WaS he aware of
il? Did he know it?" II they an
Swered No. then he would say, lie
vas not deceived; it is in this as in n
play; one is not cheated il he doesn't
know it,
"If the prince was the Won Moltke OF

Houdin of couquetry.

ing me 10 the 0oudolr of her mistress
she said II know not whv), L love you.
I burst out laughing. She repeated, 4
love you, and have loved you long
time. l am determined you shall not
see the princess any more"
''In spite of her sharp accents and
the savage light in her yellow eyes, l
could only see her ugly, tawny face,
and laughed more and more, gently re-
pulsing her, for l thought she had
taken TOO much koumiss and felt very
indulgent TO her fault, as my own head
was little astray from too much
champagne.
".You will not listen to me?' she
said, clinging TO my arm and kissing
my hand.
"As l laughed still more, she sud
denly raised up, grinding her teeth,
and said in low, determined tone as
she threw open the door OF the ooudoir,

Gan hour later as was sitting be-
side the princess on grand diyan, COW
cred with blue fox, we heard great
clamor in the ante-room which preceded
