Flowers and Their Arrangement.

AT first glance the arranging of TOW
ers seems a simple affair, indeed" said
florist yesterday, but, as n matter OF
fact, scarcely one person in a score
knows how to secure 4 really pleasing
effect with a handful of blossoms and
green. Flowers have almost as much
personality as people sometimes, and, do
what you will, some families of them
simply won't associate, while others go
naturally together and one almost seems
the complement of the other But color
Is, perhaps, the principal thing to be cou-
sidered in the grouping and arrangement
OF flowers. Close observation will re-
veal that almost every different flower
every different color OF rose, for instance
has a different shade of green for its
leaf, 50 that little practice will enable
one to tell almost invariably the tint of
blossom from the tone of leaf This is
only one of Natures hints as to the ar
tiStic treatment of these, her children
and yet we continue to- see ferns and
smilax bound with wire about the stiff
stems Of American Beauties, and cal,la
lilies surrounded with asparagusl A
number Of women have made such n
success Of the arrangement of flowers as
profession that it is wonder more
women do not make a study of the sub
ject, il professionally only.
The first thing to be considered is
harmony of color, of line, of class. Few
cut and dried rules can be given. how
ever; one must experiment, so that his
own artistic sense develops with practice
Take another hint from Nature-she en-
ploys several times the amount of green
to every other color that is found in the
average bouquet. The Japanese are hor-
rlhed at our masses OF blossoms. often

IDEA of beauty is Il single chrysanthemum

ground and emphasis. they say, and more
than this is mere vulgar display. All of
which may be little extreme, but GER

selves, who are far prone to heap and

When a Girls in Love.

This is a secret most men would give
their most cherished possessions to know
ana yet from woman's point of view,
very few things were ever more simple,
says the New York Journal.
lou may know if a girl likes you by
the way she behaves when you meet her.
Don't be taken in by the mere fact that
she changes color. Girls do that from a
thousand different causes, and there is
no reason why she should be in love
with you merely because she bushes.
But there will come a look OF pleasure
INTO her face. Her eyes will briCh; an.
ana her lips will smile. no matter how
nara she tries TO conceal it. If she looks
uoWhcast and sad when you say good
bye You may take hope from those signs.
Did you ever feel her hand tremble in
yours! 1t doesn't tremble if she doesn't
ike you. Did you ever happen to won
der how it is that she so constantly
wears your favorite color or the flower
you like best? Probably your masculine
mind hasn't grasped the fact that that
clear sign she wants TO please you,
ana we don't trouble to please those we
don't like.
Does she hear everything you say.
even when you are speaking TO someone
else! Does she find it impossible to look
happy when you talk so much to other
people, ana don't devote yourself to her?
Does her voice sound sweeter when she
addresses you than in ordinary conversa-
ton: And wnen you dare to hold her
hand a moment longer than strict con-
ventionality demands does she let it
finger. i'll your clasp and not draw it
away?
Does she let you crush her prettiest
ball gown unrebuked, and give you a
flower from those she is wearing. though
it spoils the effect of her costume
Then, indeed, you may think.

not peculiar to any locality, but flour

by the shores of lakes and in the noun

the sport is a complete outfit of gilt

Why Dancing is Healthful.

Dancing, apart from it's social advan-
tages. is entitled to regard if only by
reason of the muscular exercise which it
entails, since this is indispensable to
health, says medical journal. A cor
respondent, who is also an amateur
statistican, has taken the trouble to cal
culate the distance covered by dancers
in the course of an evening. He finds
that a waltz of average duration repre-
sents approximately II run of Il thousand
yards. This is the longest dance, with
with it's four figures. covers nearly 1900
yard The mazurka is only equivalent
TO bout 900 yards, and the polka TO 500.
while the lazy pas de quatre is barely
700 yards. Carrying his statistical in
genuity still further. he estimates that
the usual series of dances at an ordinary
ball, beginning ut 10 p. m. and finishing
at ) a. M, represents no less than $4,000
steps, equivalent to nearly thirty miles on
level ground.
Admitting that the dancers are few in
these degenerate days who go conscien-
tiOusly through the entire list of dances
provided for their entertainment, the fact
remains that each man land woman who
does his Tor herr duty accomplishes a
very respectable amount of exhilarating
exercise. The value of exercise from a
physiological point of view is greatly en-
HANGED by its exhilarating effects. and
this is one reason why the daily "cOnsti-
tutiona" fails to yield the health-giving
effects of cycling, golf or dancing. the
only drawback to the last named being
the lack of fresh air and sunlight, which
add so materially TO the enjoyment and
salutary effects of all forms of outdoor
exercise.

OVERCOME BY GAS AND COLD
Checker for Swifrs Narrowly Escapes
Death I'm Cold storage ware
house.

Marion Arnold, who recently entered the
employ Of Swift and Company as a checker.
had a thrilling and narrow escape from
asphyxiation in a cold storage warehouse,
paradoxical as IT may seen, a few days ago.
Benumbed with cold and overcome with gas
Arnold lay upon the floor OF the warehouse
unconscious when the door was opened by
an inspector, who. fortunately for the in
nocent prisoner, CHANGED to pass that way
on his rounds.
Arnold had gone to the warehouse to
check up for his employers. He did not
lock himself inside as has been reported,
but was imprisoned, accidentally, by some
one from the outside, who shut the door not
knowing Arnold was within. OF course Il
did not take Arnold long to realize his pre-
carious position. Enclosed within a small
area with the temperature about the freez-
ing point the realization of the proximity
OF death forced itself upon him.
Il was beginning to get desperate" said
Arnold, when luckily l got my hands on
the little charcoal stove in which was a
slight fire for the purpose of moderating
the temperature. Ny first impulse was 10
dump this fire out on the floor near the
door in an effort at burning my way out
of this possible death chamber. But my
scheme did not pan out as 1 expected. In
stead Of burning a hole through the wall or
door the fire smouldered and fumes Of gas
soon filled the frigid cell in which l was
rapidly meeting my doom. There was moth
ing left for me to do. I soon relapsed into

spector who, happily, had come to inspect

The inspector was Mortified at the dis
covery of a mans body PROSTATE upon the
floor when he opened the door. He dragged
it out and found there was life. Arnold
was revived, as he says, two hours after
his rescue from his p~erilous quarters. He
was able to resume his work next day.
