How To Keep Flowers Fresh.

Small punches Of flowers worn on the
corsage and boutonnleres may be kept
fresh enough to wear second time by
careful management. Make hole
through pasteboard card or small box
cover, clip the ends of the flowers tens,
pass them through the hole in the paste.
board and and lay this over tumbler
Of fresh water. The delicate petals of
the flowers are thus prevented from
touching the water, which Injuries them,
and the stem is in the water Its full
length, and draws up the moisture to
nou.ish the flower.
1t may not be generally known that
witherei flowers revive more quickly in
hot water than in cold
A cleyer device of the florists to pre-
vent flowers in large open bowls from
falling together and rowding each
other is the use of a piece OF wire net
ting placed over the bowl. That in
which the meshes are about half an inch
square is best tor the purpose, and the
pieces should be cut the exact shape,
and triae larger than the vase or bowl
on which they are to be used. After
filling the receptacle with water, lay
the netting on top, and arrange the
flowers, one or more in each mesh. In
this way they are kept in perfect posi-
ton, while the netting itself is invisible.
An added advantage is the ease with
which the water in the bowl may be
changed, it only being necessary to lift
the netting off, flowers and all, and re-
placed in the same way. This obviates
the necessity of handling each blossom,
and saves much time where a number
CT vases needed attention daily.

Three lagcjher One Year :5T Only SIZE
A SPOT BLEACHER.
It VIII Clean the Piano Keys md
Take Out Ink Stains.

To keep piano keys clean and prevent
the discoloraton Of the ivory, dampen a
piece Of muslin with alcohol and with it
rub the keys. The alcohol can do no sort
of damage to the ivory, and if it is fire.
quently applied the keys will stand in
want of no other treatment; but, If they
have already begun to turn yellow, then
try rubbing them with a piece of cotton
flannel wet in cologne water. Even old
and discolored ivory may be rejuyenated,
no matter what the cause Of the discol-
Grafton nor of how long standing. An
acid applied repeatedly, will usually re-
store the keys to their original wilderness.
Cotton flannel cloths, wet with saturat-
cd solution of oxalic acid and water and
laid upon the keys, will remove all stains.
Care should always be taken In the use
Of such bleacher as this that it does not
touch anything from which the color is
not to be removed, for it does its work
with more certainty than discretion.
This same solution of oxalic acid and
water ia sometimes used in removing ink
spots, especially when the ink spot is on
paper, as on the margin of good book.
One teaspoonful of the oXalic acid and
water to make q saturated solution are
the only necdfuls. Dip n finger in the
solution and press it gently into the ink
spot. If this is done repeatedly and with
out rubbing the paper, the Objectionable
blot will eventually fade from view. An
other method of removing ink marks
from paper is to mix teaspoonful Of
chloride of lime with water just suffi-
cient to cover it. Apply this with soft
cloth, merely patting the spot. AS either
intentional writing or mere blots will
yield before this sort of treatment, care
must be exercised in its use. Printing
ink is, however, quite safe from the as
saults of either lime or the acid.
Thumb marks on the pages Of books
may be removed by first rubbing the spots
with soft bits of stale bread. Whatever
remains of the marks after that treat
ment may need gentle touching up with
bit of cloth dnmpened in the oxalic
acid and water solution. If by any mis-
chance n large and obnoxious grease spot
should fall upon page or some pages of
q book, it may. be removed. Put piece
of plotting paper under the spot and an
other piece of blotting paper over it and
then add the weight Of n warm iron.
Much Of the grease will come out and be
absorbed by the paper. Heat very lit
tie essential oil of turpentine till it Is very
hot, then apply tito the still warm and
greasy leaf of the book, spreading it on
both sides with a clean brush. More
clean blotting paper and warm iron Will
complete the cure.--New York Sun.

A countryman who was walking along
Broad street the other morning is won
dering whether or not he can sue the
Southern railway on account Of damages
to a cur dog which some one had just
given him.
The man stopped to talk to a friend
while the gates were closed to allow a
train to pass the Broad street crossing.
He tied his dog to the end of the railroad
gate while he walked off to get drink.
When he returned few minutes later,
the gates had been raised and his dog
was hanging 40 feet in the air at the end
Of the swing gate, struggling in the last
throes Of death. The man tried to make
the gateman understand what was the
matter, but didn't succeed until he pulled
him out of his box and showed him the
dog hanging ut the end of his rope.
The dog was past resuscitation when
he was finally lowered to the ground, and
the countryman wanted to fight the gate

PAIN WITHOUT SUFFERING.
A Physicians View of II Phenomenon
of the Use of Anesthctics.

"Pain is q great mystery" remarked
physician of this city who has fondness
for the reconcile side Of his profession.
at is claimed by certain theorists that
people who are placed under the influence
of an angsthetic for surgical operations
really suffer everything they would other
wise but forget about it when they re-
turn to consciousness, and a good many
ingenious arguments are advanced to
support the proposition. 1t Is rather a
CHASTITY idea, and l am glad to say that
the real evidence is all the other way, but
it is pretty we'll established fact that
certain anesthetics-ether, for instance,
and nitrous oxide gas-will sometimes
prevent suffering without destroying con-
seriousness Of pain.
"That sounds like paradox and Is
somewhat difficult to explain without be-
coming more paradoxical STILL The eff
feet Of the anRsthetic in the strange
cases to which refer is to render pain
pleasant. While apparently insensible,
the patient Is fully conscious of every
thing that is going on, and the nerves re-
spond as readily as ever, but instead OF
producing physical discomfort the effect
is exactly the reverse.
II nave encountered SeNeTal aHoHlaIleo
Of that kind and one quite recently. The
subject was middle aged man whose
foot had been injured In an accident. l
had to amputate the two last toes, and
the operation, which was under ether,
lasted about 20 minutes. When the man
recovered from the influence of the drug,
he tried to tell me about his sensations,
but although he struggled hard be could
find no words in which to express them.
4 felt all the PAIN he said. but some
how 1t didn't hurt me- Then it wasn't
PAIN said l, endeavoring to draw him
out. oh, yes it was he replied earnest
ly, but liked it; I didn't want you to
STOP He repeated number Of things
that had been said during the operation
and 1t was evident that he had been
conscious all the while-at least conscious
of his surroundings.
'The other patients seemed to have had
practically the same experience and en-
countered the same difficulties in making
themselves understood. They were try
ing to express the inexpressible. Such
instances are, of course, rare, but they
are familiar to almost every surgeon in
general practice. Explain themf ! don't
attempt to."-New Orleans Times Demo

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Why the Woman of All Work Re-
signed Her Position.

"I'm givin notice, mum!" shouted the
big woman of all work ms she rushed TO

Then she sailed to her special domain,
while the three ladies talked vehement

old friendship il it ever reached the ears
