1t does not speak well for the Paris
police that ffty-three murders should
have been committed along the Sein g
within three months and yet the first
arrests are now made. According to
Gaboriau and other romance writers,
the French police track and overhaul
criminals with the instinct of the
bloodhound, but in real life their work
does not compare with the work of
English or American detectives, who
do not have the help of the admirable
French registration system.

Put Flowers on Your Table.

Set flowers on your table-a whole
nosegay if you can get it, Or but two or
three, or single flower, rose, pink,
a daisy. Bring few daisies or but
tercups from your last feld-work,
and keep them alive in little water.
Preserve but bunch of clover, or a
handful of Towering grass-one of the
most elegant of natures productions
and you have something on your table
that reminds you of Gods creation,
and gives you link with the poets
that have done it most honor. Put a
rose, lily, or a violet or your table,
and you and Lord Bacon have Gus
tom in common; for this great and wise
man was in the habit of having flowers
in season set upon his table, we be-
lieve, morning, noon and night-that
is to say, at all meals, seeing that they
were growing all day. Now here Is a
fashion that will last you forever, il
you please-never change with silks,
and velvets, and silver forks, nor be
dependent on caprice, or some fine
gentleman or lady, who have nothing
but caprice and changes to give them
Importance and sensation. Flowers
on the morning table are especially
suited to all. They look like the
happy wakening of the creation; they
bring the breath of nature into your
room; they seem the very representa-
tive and embodiment of the smiles Of
your home. Detroit Free Press.

And feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie uuinishgd,
