Enbalming Flowers.

OHc of the most curious OF the many
occupations followed in this big city
is that of cmbalming flowers. Form
erly Inc popular taste ran to wax
flowers, and the choicest parlor orna-
ment of the wcll-to-do country resi-
dent. even yet, is often vase of wax
flowers. But wax flowers gradually
gave way TO cmbalmed flowers.
Tho original way of embalming the
flowers was to coat tho leaves and
stems with a secret preparation, of
which wax was principal component.
The present process is of French ori-
gin. The flowers are aiken apaEt, and
leaves, stems, and petals areysoparatcly
soaked for many hours,in chemical
preparation, heated to certain de-
gree. 0 her preparations are then
applied, aud The flowers are put to-
gclhor. They keep in this way 70,
many years, preserving all their brill
liant tints and co!orings
For embalming large floral piece
the price varies from S75 to $3.50,
while singlc flower can be embaImed
for 50. The easiest flower 10 embalm
is the violet, tho most difficult is the
japonicl. leaves ara hard to treat,
as they SO frequently crack, shrink, OIL
lose color.-CNew York Times.

| recently found simple way to-
check the increase Of the buffalo
carpet beetle. This insect docs its
damage in the immature or larwal
state, being then the ugly hairy worm
which most housekeepers call the
"carpet-bug." These hairy Larvae be-
come full-grown in this condition at
various times during the fall, winter, a
and spring, and concealing themselves
in a crack or crevlce change to what
is called the pupa or chrysalis state.
They are then Quieseent, and take no. .
food. They remain in it short
time 1.-TWO or three weeks), and then
again change into small, Gark-colored
beetles, less than a quarter Of an
inch long, having on the back spots
and stripes of white and red.
These beetles fly out Of the win
dows in spring, and, as / have lately
noticed, flock in great numbers to the
early crocuses and tulips of the gar
dens. They prefer, especially, the
0ight-colored varieties, being found
lin tulip-bed under observation al. 4,
most exclusively on the white and
yellow flowers. From this small hed.a
containing less than four dozen tulips b.
We gathered in a week more than Que
hundred beetles. The little creatures
beck the flowers to feed on the pollen,
and are easily seen and destroyed.

destroyed by natives in procuring this

destruction has approached. II requires
no extraordinary foresight to prediosH
the early total failure OF this product

which there is no known substitute.
The Netherlands government has al

rate of destruction continues to proceed
as fast as in the last quarter OF a cen.

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
Ofsummer's utmost boundaries
Beyond the sands, beyond the seas,
Beyond the range Of eyes like these
And only in the reach Of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies the land long lost to nc
The land of Used-to-Be.
a land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clung
Along their dripping bruks, and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
That dazed men with its melody;
o, suoh land, with such a sea,
Kissing its shores eternally,
Is the fair Uscd-to-Be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with bells of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even In the lowing herds
A meaning lives so sweet to me
Lost laughter ripples iimpidly
From lips brimmcl DER with all the
glee
OF rare old Used-to-Be.
o land Of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields and shady spots,
of coolest, greenest, grassy plots
Embossed with wild forget-mc-nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the pas; l kiss in thee
The lips of Uset-to-Be.

Turned glimmeringly on the skies,
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till o 'er my soul silence lies.

Sweeter than any melody
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three
My dreams of Used-to-Be.

Cathedral in st. Petersburg, and in the
course of half an hour saw at least
300 men, women and children bus

is as large as the hall of The House of
Congress. Its halls were hung with
golden icons and there were ieweed
icons on the pillars and set into the
solid silver altar of the back Of tho
church. Before each icon there was a
silver candestick. Tic tops of these
candlesticks were in the shape of a
disc, and each top had a number of
holes in which to stick candles. The
worshipers trotted from one of these
candelabra to another, lighting can

One of the most curious of the many

that the creature cannot get out again.
When fiue weather is to be the order

Skeleton of a Snake.

To the casual observer the serpent
is helpless creature of imperfect Or
ganization, while in reality his skele-
ton is "a marvel of mechanical contriv-
ances. True, he possesses no feet,
but Sir Richard Owens says: "The
serpent has neither hands nor talons,
yet it can outwrestle the athlete or
crush the tiger in the embrace of its
ponderous overlapping folds. Far
from licking up its food as it glides
along, the serpent lifts up Its crushed
prey and presents ii grasped in the
coil as in hand to the gaping, slime
dropping mouth"
Professor Huxley regards the verte-
ire of snake as the most perfect
piece of anatomy in the world. No
mechanism is so simple, yet so thor
ough. The skeleton consists of a
skull, backbone and ribs. The differ
ent verlebr@ arc connected by joints
and two ribs are attached, one on
each side. These form number of
legs, as it were, by means of which
the body assumes those sinuous curves
which one cannot fail to admire. All
movement is in the horizontal plane,
no motion being accomplished by ver-
tical undulations.
OF the fifteen hundred snakes known
TO naturalisls, only very few are
poisonous-inleed, these are tho ex-
ceptions. There are fifteen varieties
to be found in America, and but three
of these are venomous-the rattle

it is quite possible that the tank whero
