Prettily Mounted Specimens Arc
Taken Home by SO3OurneFs ~
Souvenirs Of the Season 1t
the Seaside.

seaweeds can be gathered at all sea
sons of the year, but are at their best
in the summer and early autumn.
Some of them float free of anchorage
in the ocean and others are attached
to rocks and other stationary obJects
by parts which are known as hold
fasts" and look like roots, but fur
nish no nutriment to the plant. An ad-
vantage of the work is the fact thas
the plants may be collected in the sum
mer and not be pressed until 1t is con-
yenient. Even the sun-dried products
picked up on the seashore and car
ried home will respond to salt bath
and unfold their tangled and meaning
less masses into delicate traceries OF
nretty green, brown and red hues, says
an eastern exchange.
In order to make the specimens OF
value, either as displays of natures
handiwork or as motifs for china and
other decoration. they must be mount
ed. Stiff cards are excellent for the
purpose. They can be white or tinted,
ms taste dictates. With the cards and
seaweeds and couple of deep basins
of salt water one is ready to begin
work. A pair of tweezers with when
to pick up the delicate structures will
be found useful. Float small mass
of specimens in one of the basins.
Then with the tweezers, as it sepa-
rates into it's parts. pick out a single
plant and wash it free from all sands
and impurities in the second basin
When this is done plunge one OF the
cards under the water and bring 1t dl-
rectly beneath the cleansed specimen.
Holding the card at sharp angle, ar
range the base of the specimen in the
desired position with cameis hair
brush. needle or wooden toothpick.
This work must be done under water.
When the delicate filaments are
spread out to the best advantage with
draw the card little way from the
water and observe the result. Inc
seaweed will adhere without any diff
ficulty. AS the arrangement pro
crosses the card is gradually lifted
from the water until every portion
is complete. If change in the ar
ranrement is desirable plunge the card
into the water carefully and make
the alt era tions. When the work is fin
| ;shcd the midrib should have natural
shane and from it the filaments should
branch on either side. Drain off all
the water possible and cover the
mounts with white cotton cloth to pre-
vent the seaweed,s from adhering te
ANYTHING else. When all the mounts
are ready press them under heav!
weights for several hours. If the ef
fort has been painstaking beautiful
souvenirs will result.
Persons who have never collected
seaweeds are sure to find in the oc
cupaticn relief from the convention

abound and a pleasant resource 10

LOST BILL DOUBLED ITSELF.
The Wonderful story OF the fortl!
Man That Called Forth NO

He was portly and prosperous, an al:
Iiterative state Of affairs that seemed
70 give weight to his words. There
fore. the little band gathered IN iron!
of an uptown hotel and which had
watched with interest aud laughed
with mean delight at the man Who
chased his hat two blocks in one OF
those sudden gales, listened with re-
spectful attention to the portly man
who had laughed louder than the 9TH
ers, and who led the way to the cafe
bar. relates the New York Mail and Ex'
press.
"That hat-chasing game reminds me
Of a peculiar thing which happened
to me when boy" he began. 81 was
brought up on farm i'll this state. and
was one of those happy-go-lucky
youngsters, always in trouble, and
with a happy faculty of getting out OF
scrapes.
:One day my father gave me five
dollar bill to GO down to the village
and buy scme things for the farm
Boy like, started OFF holding the bill
by the corner and letting the wind flap
it about my fingers. There came
sudden puff and the bill WAS torn
from my grasp. Isaw it fly overa bush
and started off in hot pursuit. 1T

The pcrtIy man mlttered something

his glass. The Others followed suit
and waited patiently for the climax.

authority to select the temporary offi-
GERS of today's convention. A majority
of the delegates thought it had no such
power, and number of names were
placed in nomination for temporary
president.
Joseph p. Allen. of Philadelphia, rep
resentng the United Labor league of
that city, was elected. George Gothier,
of this city, was elected temporary sec
retary. and T.. E. Grenwalt, of Lancas-
ter, assistant secretary. The constitu-
ton and bylaws to govern the federal
ton were debated until the hour of ad-
journment. Action will be taken to-
day.
The per capita tax to be levied on
local labor unions for the support Of
the federation is the most serious prob
lem that confronts the convention.
This will make the twenty-frst State
Federation of Labor embraced in the
American Federation of Labor.
The main purpose of Il state fedora
ton is to look after legislation. The
convention will likely last three days.
