Islands on the CUR.

The Galveston disaster ought to
serve as a warning that the sand ISL
ands fringing our gulf coast, from
Florida to the Rio Grande, are not
safe in their present condition for hu-
man habitation, and in great and con-
stant danger from the violent hurri-
canes which arise, from time to time,
in the West Indies. Some better pro-
lection must be assured before these
islands can be settled without great
risk OF life. What that protection
should be it will be for the engineers
to say, whether breakwaters, raising
the grade of the islands. or whether
some other better means Of protection
can be found. There have been SO
many disasters, too great loss of life
and property, to continue the risk,
as we have done for years. New Or.

''Is this the ring?'
Bradley's heart was cold an the old

From my mother. But I did not

wed a man more in sympathy with my
views than you are. but the ring is your

Then Jane Apperson came into the
room and Ben Bradley kissed her, and
the pale-faced secretary, who wasn't
bad fellow at all. peeped in and told
Mr. Apperson that he wonld like to

with the frosty politeness that was MIR.
Apperson's nearest approach to friend
liness, but he never managed to see
Miss Apperson alone She always
| spoke cordially to him but there was a

that she regarded him as wicked
person.
"The little Purltan!" said he, after
| one of these visits. She thinks
have horns and hoofs. I'll keep away
from her"
But he didn't. He took to hunting
the roads about the Apperson place
for the mere chance OF seeing her as
she rode, attended by pale young
man who acted as secretary to her
| father. Sometimes he managed to find
an excuse to ride short distance at
her side The presence Of the pale
young man was a bar to confidential
discourse, but when man and a maid
are SO minded they can come to a
fairly good understanding without
plain speech, and Bradley began to
hope that the little Puritan did not
think so badly Of him after all.
What's the use, though" he
thought, II don't want to marry her
fathers daughter, and her father
wouldn't let her marry me. But she's
a bonny little Puritan. 2
And the next time he rode at her
side he so managed that the gray geld !
ing and the cream-colored pony
crowded the pale young mans horse
out of the road and then they set OFF
at pace that the pale young mans
steed could not keep.
Don't pull up. said Bradley, as
Miss Apperson started to check the
pony. Il must say it. Give me two
minutes. I.1ove you. and II you will
marry me will join the church and
try to be good
Aren't you good now?' said the lit
tie Puritan" with a demure smile
You know amt. Please give me a

What would father say?"
May ask him?'
Yes. Now we must walt for Mr..
Hawkins"
Before they parted Bradley found an
opportunity to slip curiously carved
old ring from his little finger and give
it to Miss Apperson.
He found Mr. Apperson next morn

Tie sky which had become overcast
was suddenly rent by a ::ig-zag streak
of fire, and a crash OF thunder shook
the earth. Big drops of rain pattered
on the road and the horse frightened
by tie thunder tried to break away
from Bradley.

the planter, soothing the horse, and

only one way. You must ride behind

Jane Apperson felt that she was do
ing something desperately unconyen-
tional. but obeying Bradley, she
mounted a convenient stump and then
sprang on the gray's crupper.

There was a commotion when they
reached the house. The cream-colored
pony had come home without rider
and servants were being sent out to
find Jane. Slipping to the ground be-
fore Bradley could assist her, the girl
ran to her father and hurriedly tod
him of her adventure.
The old man eyed Bradley coldly and
said: My daughter tells me you were

reciprocate you may command me. "
Don't mention 1t" said the young
planter. 1t was pleasure to me. '

No, thanks; the rain won't hurt

FLOWERS IN ENGLAND.
The Average Englishwoman Is Mo-
Artistic.

81 80 Z N ~
This is without doubt the month OF
flowers in England and this year they
seem more abundant than ever. The
observer knows this by the flowers he
sees for sale in the shops and streets
Those who are fortunate enough to
possess gardens Of their own ana al
ways have profusion Of flowers will
scarcely notice the more than usually
gorgeous display in the florists and
the baskets of the flower girls. But,
Notwithstanding the fact that flowers
are now almost universally In vogue
for decoration and that of late years
people have made great strides in the
direction Of the more skillful arrange
ment and blending of colors, they have
vet a great deal to learn.
The average Englishwoman is not
artistic and she Is apt to rely too much
upon the efforts Of her florist to
achieve anything at all striking or
perfectly satisfactory in the way OF
decoration. The florist is, as a rule
a painstaking person, possessed Of a
few good decorative schemes, but ori-
ginality seldom, il ever. Wherever
you go in London you see the same
arrangements and can almost tell
at IA glance to which of the various es-
Establishments In Bond street or Regent
street the hostess has handed over the
floral dressing Of her dinner table or
ballroom. In Japan, where the ar
ranging OF flowers is undertaken in the
most serious manner and considered an
Indispensable branch Of art, they could
teach Westerners many things in the
direction OF greater simplicity and OBJ
servation OF natures methods. Flow
er arrangement is taught there just as
cookery Is In England and some won
derful and beautiful books are pub
Hshed on the subjects, illustrated By a
famous japanese artist, setting forth
the different methods, the appropriate
kind Of vase for each arrangement be-
ing specified. This book Is published
In England and is a revelation OF the
possibilities OF flowers as a decorative
medium. Chicago News.

Of this rod is the first thing taught a

instead Of thread is custom. so far

mode Of ironing To accomplish this
difficult feat they rip their garments
to pieces before putting them in wa

sticks. These sticks resemble a po-
