1t will not settle down upon any one
undertaking method of preserving
them, but will rather vary it according
to the different causes which lead to
their decay.
Take, for instance, the flowers of a
succulent nature like the iris. The
stems when put into the water slough
away and soon give forth an unpleasant
odor. There are two remedies which
may be applied in this case; either one
water and frequently change it, or cut
off the ends of the stalks at short in
tervals.
good point to remember in gather
ing flowers of the iris family, and, in
deed, all succulent plants like the prim-
rose, the snowdrop, the lily and poppy,
Is to pick them while still in the bud,
as they will often suck up enough water
to quite carry out their natural life.
Another flower whose stem most
rapidly decays and corrupts the water
is mignonette, and 1t is often best,
therefore, to sacrifice it while it's head
is still freshly green. Heliotrope, like
mignonette, should always be put in
water by itself, for it not only fades
and turns brown rapidly, but It will
kill almost any flower put with 1t.
The cause of decay In hard-wooded
plants like the azaIea and camelia Il

quently would be of little avail. The
hard, brittle wood has no power of alb
sorption; but if when putting such
flowers in vase or bowl you make sure
that the lowest leaves attached to the
blossoms are under water the effect is
magical.
The tender green of the fresh leaf alb
serbs the water and acts as conductor,
in its turn nourishing the blossoms.
Ferns, and especially maidenhair. are
very short lived when they have to look
to the stem alone for nourishment, and
the most efrectual way to preserve them
is to see that the lower part of every
frond is well under water. Cut flowers
require as a rule far greater quantity
of-water than is given them. though the
capacious bowls and vases now in
vogue come much nearer meeting their
wants than the slender, elegant forms
that continue to adorn our cabinets and
mantels.
We must be guided in our expecta-
tons of the longevity Of flower, how"
ever, by it's normal life, and not expect
the frail blossom of day to rival the
Splendid orchid in it's three weeks
duration.
Flowers should always be placed In
water as soon as possible after being
picked; when received by post in
somewhat wilted condition an immedi-
ate plunge into hot water with little
sal volatile will accomplish wonders
in the way of revivng them.
Lilac. laburnum and azaleas require
TO have piece of the bark stripped up
and left hanging, and this, with the adj
dition of few leaves in the water, will
often keep them in quite fresh condi-
tion for weeks.
The bouquet which you have carried
during an evening will be sure to revive
again if you spray it well with water
and put it under bell glass and if you
wish to wear flowers in your hair or on

tain their freshness for an entire even

Those who are not In good health, ow-

Booth to New York Journal reporter,
''that the feeling of self-reliance which

spect and restrain them from ever fall

Instead of being subjected to humili-

Mrs. BaIlington Booths Novel Plan to As

NJ. IloII;1of1n Y1QUf

Mrs. Ballington Booths Novel Plan to AS
sist Released Prisoners.
Mrs. Ballington Booth has a new
scheme to help ex-convicts.
The finger of scorn is no longer to be
pointed at them. Men who have been in
Sing Sing prison and who desire to live
good and upright lives will in future
have chance to do SO. They will have
a chance to start life all over again.
Mrs. Ballington Booth proposes to
welcome such convicts right at the gate
of Sing Sing prison. She will offer them
home, friends and employment.
The first thing necessary for carry
ing out this plan was means of trans
portatiOn for released convicts from
Sing Sing to the Volunteers place OF
refuge. She will have a steam launch
in commission as soon as the purchase
money has been secured. The boat will
be called the Omer Sage, in honor of
Warden Sage, and will be manned by
ex-convicts. A pretty Volunteer lassie
will be in command. The captain that
has been selected is an expert sailor, and
with her at the wheel, the little vessel
filled with earnest Volunteers and hap
by ex-prisoners, will soon be seen dari.
ing over the neighboring waters on it's
mission of mercy and succor.
Among the Volunteers the men who
are earnestly trying to live down their
past will be given every opportunity not
only to help themselves,6puta also to help
others of their class. Mrs. Booth be-
lieves that men who have been prison
mates must have more or less feeling for
each other, and that the influence OF
men who have for some time been free
in their treatment of a recently dis
charged convict can only be for good.
Another reason for using launch to
receive the men. instead of allowing
them to leave Sing Sing by train is that
they may avoid all possible chance Of
recognition. Then, again, the sail down
the Hudson river is a trip likely to be
impressive by the grandeur of the
scenery. In the estimation of Mrs.
Booth, if ever man can be in a position
to appreciate such scenes, and so open
the way for serious thought of the past
and future, it is just after leaving the
tomblike cells of Sing Sing and sailing.
free man once more, down the grand
est river in America.
On leaving Sing Sing the vessel will
set out for "Hope Hail." which is the
name selected for the commodious home
over which Mrs. Booth has supervision.

Why Parents Should Develop PFeci0lOA
and Accuracy In Children.
There is no habit that young people
San acquire that is likely to be so valu-
able to them in every relation of life as
the habit of being exact. Indefinite
ness is crying fault of youth. 1t is an
easy thing to get into slipshod habits
of thought and work. Such work may
oe brilliant, but unless work is directed
toward definite purpose it is valueless.
Thought that appears in brilliant
3ashes is as useless for guidance as the
tight Of jack-o'-lantern. A beacon
light must be steady and certain. The
value Of fixed definite purpose in life,
steadily adhered to, cannot be overesti-
mcted. 1t is the secret of success, and
SO fully is this recognized that some
one has defined genius merely as the
power of persistence. He who has
ability to maintain fixed purpose in
spite of disappointments and apparent
failures, must, in the end, win, if he is
guided by honor and truth.
Exact habits are best formed in
youth. 1t is next to impossible for
man or woman who has grown up in
''happy- go-lucky" habits of work to
turn back and learn to be exact. Par
ents often excuse inaccuracy and care
less ways in children on account of
their youth. 1t is great mistake to do
this. While youth cannot be justly bur-
dened with the cares of age, yet what
ever q young person is called on to do
should be accurately done. The com
mon habit of acquiring smattering

student to have two studies and pursue
these to the definite purpose of COM
pretending them thoroughly than to
take up dozen, of which he can only
secure frivolous knowledge.
The habit of giving simple, accurate
information is most rare and valuable
one. Not one person in ten can give def
mite, clear directions on any stated
subject of which they have full lnowl-
edge. Yet this is habit which success

childhood, children can be taught to
be exact and clear. This is the chief
value of the kindergarten system, and it
should be supplemented by home

who learn to know what they are

nothing to unlearn, no superstitions

Wells are bad for the sight, especially

obliged to do SO. Never read in bed or
