TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS

Never place cut flowers in draught
or in sunlight.
In cutting the ends, snip them of al
right angles to the stalk.
Do not allow the ends of the stems
TO rest on the bottom of the vase.
Do not place flowers near or under
Gghts-gas or lamp-when 1t can be
avoided.
Change the water each day, and at
the same time again cut the ends oil
the flower stems.
The ends of the stems of all flowers
should be cut off before they are
placed in water. It is better to strip
the leaves from that part of the stem
which will be immersed.
Maidenhair fern should be kept
rolled up in moistened paper and on
the ice, or, with the stems in the wa
ter, in n cool place, until ready for
use. In this way 1t win last for some
time.

these occasional excuses in drink
how useful would be his career.
Now you have seen the skeletons OF
some of the homes near where we

another genteel neighborhood Is a
place where men come together tc

corous fashion they take too much
drink, and need help 20 reach their
homes. They are not common drunk
ards Keeling through the streets. Then
they would be disgusting. At this
GATE they are very respectable gentle
men who occasionally take too much.
What they may be later on remains to
be seen. Not many people know that
these men get drunk at ALL Some

turned and looked keenly back at the

the two young Indians rested their
hands on his shoulder. White Elk
stood with his face lifted up for a
moment to the clouds He cast his
eyes around and took a last look ut

grim and silent in the clefts of the

shot straight downward from the ton

The Indians stood looking down

was a cry and all looked again towards

Police Court Scenes Tint Are n Sad
Commentary on goth Century
Enlightenment

A year ago we published in the
Advocate the following statement OF
City Magistrate Clarence w. Mead,
made by him from the bench. says
the editor of the National Advocate.
There are seven police courts in
the borough of Manhattan. Take
rum away and 1 am certain that two
courts will be sufficient to do all the
work"
A few days ago the New York
Press printed a most pitiful story,
that of a man utterly given over to
drink and who had drawn his Is
year-old son down with him, until
the pair stole a horse to get the
money to buy liquor. The father
took the proceeds of the theft and
went on a long debauch and the son,
arraigned in the police court, begged
to be sent TO the Elmira or some
other reformatory in order that he
might be freed from the life to which
his drunken father had brought him.
A still more sickening sight Is re
ported by the Philadelphia press as
having been witnessed In a police
court of that city. Three sisters, the
eldest but 20 years of age, stood be-
fore Magistrate South with bitter
smiles on their faces the other day
while their old mother was sent TO
prison.
Ella Callahan, the eldest, was
asked TO testify.
"Ellal Ellal" said the old woman,
half tenderly, you amt going to
have your mother sent to jail?"
"Why not?" said the girl, bitterly.

not only &c me, but to my sisters, the
young girls there. Judge"
She pointed to Mary and Anastasia

other slender girl of Is.

she continued, mother was drunk
