How to Keep Flowers.

Harper's Bazaar for the current week
gives some excellent ideas on the pre-
servation of cut flowers. Merely put
ting the stems into water is apparently
not sufficient, and with little more
care even the most perishable blossoms
may be preserved.
All leaves should be removed from
the part OF the flower stem that is to lie
underneath the water, says the Bazaar,
otherwise these sodden leaves decay
and make the water offensive. Every
day the flowers must be carefully lifted
from the water, andthe eighth Of an
inch cut with sharp scissors from the
end Of the stem. The vase must then
be emptied, washed out, and reflled
with fresh water.

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina, is
what's known as the Sapphire Country.
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 5000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
OF the many attractive features, per-
haps one of the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphioe Lakes. No where else in
the south at this altitude are there
such bodies of water. There are tow
ering cliffs, rising abruptly for thou
sand foot from their shores and cas-
dades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and particu-
larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of 90 de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and the
Lodge, afford excellent accommoda-
tions for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any agent
of the Southern railway, or write G. A.
Benscoter, A. G.. P. A, Chattanooga,
Tenn, for descriptive pamphlet.

Captain Watkins and the Paris.

In an editorial in the current num-
Der of Harper's weekly, an excellent
point is raised against the system now
in vogue in navigating ocean vessels as
recently disclosed by the investigation
concerning the grounding of the Paris.
Captain Watkins apparently made his
calculations alone, and it was not con-
sidered necessary that calculations be
made by another officer for the sake of
comparison. Had this been done the
accident could never have happened ex-
cept by an extraordinary coincidence.
"The fact that Captain Watkins's
career is over, says the Weekly, twill
of course make other captains more
vigilant, but dependence upon one
mind in this sort of thing is absolutely
unsafe. No man can tell when his
mental energies, usually keen though
they may be, are going to stop working
for moment; and that moment may
be the most important in that minds
history"

Busted the Devil.

The devil once bargained for the soul
Off young man, the devil agreeing to
furnish all the money the young man
could spend, and if he didn't spend it
as it comes in, his soul was to be the
forfeit. For several years the young
man managed to keep ahead of the
game by wine, woman and fast horses,
but finally the devil sent him tre-
mendous sum which seemed impossi
BILE to spend, the young man as a last
resort started newspaper, At the
end of three months the devil began to
howl, at the end of six months he was
savage, at the end of nine months he
was furious, at the end of the year he
was broke. The paper went up but the
soul of man was saved. .-Ex.
