Pressed Flowers.

Flowers that are intended to be pre-
served and pressed should always be gath
cred on dry day. Place them between
several sheets of blotting paper and iron
these with large and smooth heater pref.
ty strongly warmed, till all moisture is
dissipated. Some plants and flowers re-
quire more moderate heat than others, and
in compound and thick flowers, such as
roses and carnations, little art is required
in cutting away the underpart. SO that the
blossom may lie fat. The color of many
plants, particularly of yellow flowers, may
thus be fixed for winter decorations. Roses
are, however, very difficult to do, and it is
almost impossible to preserve their delicate
tints. Another way of pressing flowers is
to place them between sheets of the gray
absorbent paper used by botanists and
then between two large boards about IS
inches long by II inches broad and about
half an inch thick, strapped together with
two strong leather straps to produce con-
siderable pressure. Philadelphia Ledger.

The Monkey Meant Well.

Some time ago there was lady in LON
don for the season who was well known in
the French fashionable world One day
1 she happened to see monkey in the street
begging in the prettiest manner possible
for the benefit of its master, an organ
grinder. She took fancy to the little
animal, bought it and dressed it in the
gaudiest of raiment and made it IA pet.
Some little time afterward the lady held
fashionable reception for the benefit of
some charity, and, of course, her pet was
the wonder of the room.
In the course of the evening a young
lady sat down at the piano, and, accom-
panying herself sang with exquisite taste
little drawing room song. AS soon as
the lady had finished, the monkey, who,
though now partially civilized, had not
forgotten his former duties seized a gen
tleman's silk hat and, holding it before
each guest according to his custom, COM
menoed a collection.
The vocalist laughed, the hostess looked
very vexed, but to the amusement of ev-
erybody the monkey went the rounds and
collected large sum. His task ended, he
jumped upon the singers shoulder amid
shouts of laughter and deposited the con-
tents of the hat in her lap. The collection,
of course, was devoted to the charity, but
1t was as much as the hostess could do to
persuade her guests that the trick had not
been previously practiced by her.-Pear-
sons Weekly

he Gardners from Boston have en-
gagged seats. . said the ticket seller
That night when the end men began
their gagging there was fun that as a
rule, was not on the bill. Every time
:" bones" asked question to which the
end man made reply the man next him
jumped up, clapped his hand over his
mouth and said, Sh, Sam, be careful
what you are saying, the Gardeners from
Boston are herer' Or, "Don't, don't, for
heavens sake don't. The Gardeners from
Boston are herel" This went on for awhile
before anybody knew just what was meant
by "the Gardeners from Boston are herel''
But the Gardeners were really there, and
finally it got too much for them. They
arose in their seats and sailed out Of the
theater.
"All right, now, Sam, " said the second
man when bones asked the next ques-
ton. "Say what you like, the GARDENERS
from Boston are gone. /"
Then everybody was "on," and the
laugh went around the house. Dockstader
has often told the story and seemed to en-
joy it hugely, though it did drive his pa
irons from the house. Louis Republic

quency of suicides from its span, bears
the sobriquet of tho Accused Bridge. .
From the very day the bridge was fin
ished up to the present time there has
been no diminution in the numbers of
those who in the course of each year
cast themselves from its parapets. For
nearly score of years from 100 to 100
persons annually have committed sui
eide in this way. The rocks that pierce
the shallow waters at the bottom Of the
gorge are sharp and the coveted death
is certain. A sort of terrible fascination
seems to hang about the bridge or about
one particular spot about half way
across tia fascination which is said to
affect nearly every one who pauses there
and looks downward. Four of the
watchmen stationed there to prevent
would be suicides have themselves
yielded to- this fatal fascination.

CONVICT OR ACTOR?

A few years ago was on tour with
\ dramatic company which was giving
performances of a melodrama of the
pronounced transporting order. was
rast for the leading part and appeared
In the first act as a young gentleman of
good family, beloved by every one for
my amiability and other virtues, and,
Of course, engaged to charming young
lady possessed of an immense fortune.
My rival, however, a villain of the
orthodox melodramatic type, managed
to get me arrested on a false charge of
forgery, and in the prison whittier was
sent for the offense saved the life of a
warder by fiattening with shovel a
Bill Sykes looking character who at
tempted to murder the official.
Being pardoned and liberated for this
service, made good use of my freedom
by unmasking the rascalIy author of
my misfortunes, who, as he was about
to be apprehended for perjury, rid So
ciety of knaye by blowing his brains
out.
The piece ended with my marrying
the lady of my choice, who had all
along been convinced Of my innocence,
and who, during my enforced absence
in durance vile, had of course been the
incarnation of constancy.
One night we were playing to a
crowded house in a large town in the
midland counties. Amid loud and SYM
pathetic applause the curtain fell as I
was arrested through the Vaccinations
of my rival and dragged handcuffed off
the stage by the myrmidons of the law.
then retired to my dressing room and
donned my particolored convict's gar
ments, which were faithfully copied
from the real article.
As there was long scene prior to the
prison interior, in which | did not APP

walk to the postoffice in order to post
one or two important letters in time for
the midnight London mail. 1t is strict
ly against the rules of theater for an
actor to leave the building until his
part is finished, but thought [ should
not be observed and decided to run the
risk.
Throwing an Inverness cape over my
conyict's garb, I left by the stage door,
tipping the hallkeeper as passed, and
walked hurriedly in the direction of the
postoffice, which was located about
quarter of a mile distant.
In the operation of looking for coin
unbuttoned my cape, displaying as I
did SO the prison dress, and my peculiar
costume at once caught the wary eye of

"All right. my chicken, . said the
policeman. We've nabbed you. / sup
pose BY this time they've missed you at
IA large penal establishment in
the midlands).
1t then flashed across my mind, to my
most intense amusement, that the men
had mistaken me for an escaped con-
vict, so informed the guardian Of the
peace that was member of dramat-
10 company then performing in the
town, and that wore the semblance of
prison dress by reason of the necessi-
ties of the play.

Peroeiying that it was of little use to

from his clutches; SO, dexterously dis
engaging myself from my cape, leaving
it in my astonished captor's hands, l
bolted into the street and ran like a
deer in the direction of the theater.
To my dismay, I found that I had
unfortunately taken wrong passage,
which turned out to be a cul-de-sae. In
order to escape from my pursuers, I
scrambled into huge empty dog ken
mel which happened to espy.
The policeman, followed by at least
90 men, came rushing down the lane,
flashing bullseye on either side, but
of course wasn't to be seen.
My place of concealment was soon
discovered; SO, after brief parley with
the policeman, in which he assured me

BUDDING MEN AND WOMEN
The Period When Boys and Girls Pin.
For Larger Liberty.


The Period When Boys and Girls Pine
For a Larger Liberty.
Florence Hull Winterburn, writing on
'The Passing of Childhood in TheWom-
ans Home Companion, says:
Baby learns that be can walk, that he
can reach things, that he can open and
close doors, that he can select from many
articles before him the particular ons he
wants, and so soon as he is conscious Of
his ability to act for himself he does it.
But birthdays come and go, and John
is 10 and alive in every nerve and fiber,
with the full pulsed life of the American
temperament. He is ambitious and seeks
ideals and models from the great world
outside the walls of home, and he talks
excitedly of what 'other boys do and
finds precedent for the individual liberty
he is beginning to pant and chafe after.
Mary, with the first luster of life yet fresh
on her brow, has shed infantile docility
like garment and has haunting visions
of the joys of independence. 1t all seems
sudden to the parent and it is not quite
pleasant. There is pretty sentiment in
favor of prolonging babyh and the
world is brutal and ugly, and innocence is
precious. Besides, the instant our ffedge-
begin for us. We are inclined to put off
the evil day.
''This is the way a sentiment can make
us selfish and fears for the future make
us unjust. We have no right to choose
what is easy for ourselves, however, rather
than what it best for our children. 1t is
the growing manhood or womanhood in
them that begins to assert itself and claim
recognition. The wings meant for wide
flight ere long are rapidly unfolding, and
the courage soon to be essential is mani
Testing itself in the feeling of pride and
dignity which makes our boy long to go
and come as he pleases and our girl to
make her own engagements and decide
upon her own affairs. This looks alarm
ing, but, after ALL it is no great matter
for what the children really crave now is
liberty to exercise their own Judgment.
1t would be most injudicious to draw
the lines closer when youthful high spirits
begin to pull upon them. Liberty is to
be retarded only for year or SO at the
most, and for every restraint imposed there
will be a corresponding excess. 1t is well
known that some of the widest youths
the friskiest young women, were kept
down to a strict regimen as long as pa
rental oversight lasted. They came to re-
gard restraint, even when kindly meant
as an evil, to like their own way just for
its own sake, and the result is any thing but
pleasant when young persons with I'M
trained wills and Judgment are turned
loose upon the community. If they are
not willful, they are weak, and, aocustom-
ed to yield to stronger minds, they become
the prey of INSCRIPTIONS leaders.

ALMOST A FATALITY.
Little George Washburn Badly In
iured Yesterday Afternoon.


George Washburn, the 6-year-old son
OF Samuel Washburn, met with an ac-
cident yesterday that came near being
fatal The boy was playing on the
platform at the head of the steps lead
ing to the door of the rooms in Which
he lives. The house is in the rear Of
S2S South State street, and the room is
in the second story of the building. A
long fight of steps leads up from the
ground on the outside OF the building
to the door Of these rooms George
was playing at the head of these steps
when. in some unaccountable way, he
slipped and fell.
He went through the space under the
bannister and fell TO the ground Just
how it happened could not be learned,
but he evidently was playing near the
edge Of the stairs. When he fell he
struck his head on some door steps
that were directly under him. He was
unconscious when picked up and the
blood was flowing freely from a had cut
in the head. DR.. Sharp was summoned
and dressed the wound, which was a
large cut in the forehead Just over the
eye. Other than a few bruises the boy
was uninjured and will soon be about
again. How he escaped breaking his
neck is miracle for the fall was fully
15 feet.
