Using Ice with FInMers.

Ice is now used quite freely for the pres
ervation Of flower, either for shipping or
for keeping into Or through the winter
and flowers so preserved cannot be distiu-
guished even by an expert from fresh
gathered blooms. In special instances a
freezing mixture j. formed by ombining
salt and ice, and this answers even better
than the pure ice.
A general adoption Of this plan accounts
for the increase in recent years OF beautiful
cut flowers in winter, and it has also
brought the price down to within the
reach of people who never thought of buy
ing flowers ont Of season before. There
are many other ways of preserving flowers
for a few weeks or even months, but the
ice plan holds good for an indefinite period
and never seems to fail.-Interview in ST.

The subject requires the early atten-

formation on it should be submitted 10
the country. The current expenditures
of the administration are in excess of the
current receipts and this and similar
facts in the connection should be brough
out in connection with comparisons Of
the cost of Harrison year by year with
the cost of Cleveland. Arthur. Garfield

treated at once extensively and so
plainly that the people cannot be de

is not too far away to begin at once the
submission of the accounts TO the people.

THE SONG OF THE eoLoENRoD.

Oh, not in ne morning Of April or May,
When the young light lies faint on the sod
And the windfiower blooms for the half Of a
day
Not then comes the Goldenrod.
But when Il E bright year has grown vivid and
bold
With its utmost Of beauty and strength,
Then it Leaps into life, and its banners unfold
Along all the lands green length.
1t is born in The glow of a great high noon.
1t is wrought of a bit of the sun:
Its being is set to a golden tune
In golden summer begun.
No cliff is toe high for its resolute foot,
No meadow too bare or too low;
1t asks but II e space for its fearless root,
And the rie hI TO be glad and to grow.
It delights in the loneliest waste of the moor
And mocks at the rain and the gust;
It belongs to the people. 1t blooms for the
poor,
1t thrives in the roadside dust
1t endures through September wax chill and
unkind;
1t laughs on the brink Of the crag.
Nor blanches when forests turn white in the
wind:
Though dyir Z, it holds up It's flag.
Its bloom knows no stint, its gold no alloy,
And We claim ii forever as ours
Gods symbol OF Freedom and worldw de
joy
Americas flower Of flowers.
Grace D. Litchtield in St Nicholas.
