Preserving Cut Flowers.

A florist advises, as a means of pre-
serving the freshness of cut flowers, that
any one which shows signs OF fading
should be quickly taken away from the
bunch. One dying blossom will quickly
infect the others. Cut flowers. too,
ought never to stand where the sun
shines directly upon them. 1t is mis-
take, also, i'll putting flowers in the re-
frigerator to keep Tor few hours before
using to have them come in contact with
the ice. This caution seems almost un-
necessary. but experience proves that
thoughtless persons, imbued only with
the idea that flowers should be in a cool
place, will lay the blossoms on the ice
itself, which freezes them. They can be
wrapped in wet paper or damp cotton
and put in the lower part OF the ice-b box,
though too serious chilling, even with.
out reaching the freezing point, makes
them droop very rapidly when brought
into heated air. Probably the greatest
enemy OF cut flowers is gas, and if one is
trying to preserve bunch for several
days, they should be removed to an un-
lighted room as darkness descends.

have stood the test oil years and that can
be depended upon for successful home

Surely pathos could go no further
than this. A little girl was killed by
the engine Of passing train in south
Queensland, Australia. Said the driver:
II saw the little child on the track, and
the sight was one that almost made my
heart stop beating. She was sitting
down playing, it appeared, with the
stones. She was not old enough to un.
derstand the position she was in. When
l blew the whistle, the little tot just
turned around, and as tho engine drew
near her she looked up at me and smil.

treaty. It's rejection, he said, might
mean anarchy in the Philippines. It's
approval commits us to no policy. Sub
ject races" and 'vassal states" are not
wanted; the people of the islands must
have a chance to be free under our fos-
tering protection and care. He declared
that they must be saved from them
selves and European rapacity. The army
reorganization bill was under discussion
In the house.

house, said that the president could not
usurp the authority of congress, that he
had nothing to do with the future dis
position of the islands. That was mat
ter for congress to decide. He could only
take military possession of the islands
and then turn the whole question over
to congress. The peace treaty was I'M
der consideration in the senate.
