OIL OF GLADNESS
HEALS ALL BURNS AND BRUISES

The next important feature in ar
rangement is to guard against over
crowding, which is not good for flowers
and invariably destroys the artistic eff
feet. The putting together of several
kinds of flowers even when they har
monte is also almost always disas
trous. Each flower has it's own indi-
viduality, and when massed indiscrimi-
nately this is lost.
Roses should depend upon their own
foliage for greenery and never be min

American Beauties and all the stately

wire netting to hold the flowers In
place is the proper receptacle. If one
brings into service a bowl not especial
ly adapted for the purpose a good plan
is to hollow out a piece of cardboard
and slip it up over the stems near the
top of the bowl. Indeed, the vessel in
which flowers are put has everything
to do with their effect. Long stemmed
ones like the lily will be spoiled if
placed in low vases. On the other
hand, flowers with short stems are al
ways unsatisfactory when arranged in
anything but low bowls or vases, and
there is something homogeneous about
making a picture of wild varieties in a

FLOWERS are never more appre- ,
ciated than at this wintry time
of the year. In summer when
n fields and gardens run riot with
beautiful blossoms and exqui-
site blendings of color greet the eye at
every turn the very prodigality of ma
ture in the floral kingdom makes her
offerings less appreciated than when
she is more chary of her gifts; another
instance of blessings Frightening as
they take their fight. But when one is
reduced for decorative purposes to
few dozen roses and growing plant or
two ones love of and ability to ar
range flowers is put to the test and the
best efforts are thoroughly appreciated.
It is very evident fact that the art
Of arranging flowers is born in the
lucky possessor and not acquired. The
eye may be trained with regard to color
and combinations which are altogether
harmonious yet the happy faculty of
making a pleasing flower picture does
not consist in simply putting together
coIors that harmonic with each other.
There is a certain indescribable some
thing that makes all the difference be-
tween a born bouquet fashioner and
the one whose art is acquired. This
difference is dffacult to define in words.
but perhaps the best attempt at an ex-
PLANTATION would. be to call it an intui-
tive taste, one which in some mystic
rious way makes no mistakes, as the
merely cultivated one is apt to do. It
is somewhat similar to the art which
enables one woman to look a hundred
times more attractive in a calico gown
than another in a Paris creation.
Granting that the gift of arranging
flowers is bestowed at birth by be-
neficent fairy, this fact should not de-
ter any woman from cultivating the
charming knack. There is Nothing
which affords more general enjoyment
not only to the artist herself, but to
to all her friends, than the beautiful
arrangement of flowers in the home.
The Japanese excel in this particular
cult, and their innate love of flowers
and simplicity of treatment form the
secret of success in the land of cherry
blossoms. So devoted to flowers are
these oriental people that a feast of
cherry blossoms in honor of the flower
ing of this fruit is celebrated by the
emperor and less exalted ones all over
Japan. When the wistaria and chrys-
anthemum are in bloom it is customary

Percentage of Total Vote.

One of the most remarkable friend
ships ever formed in congress was that
between Vest, of Missouri and Quay, of
Pennsylvania. They esteemed highly
each others qualities of personal char
acter, and between them there was a
strong intellectual sympathy. Never
theless, Vest, because of his conviction
as to constitutional law found that he
could not vote for the admission of
Quay to the senate upon the appoint
ment of Governor Stone, of Pennsyl-
vania. The single vote of Vest would
have saved him the long, severe strug-
gle which resulted in his election by
the legislature. Before the roll was
called Vest told Quay in the cloak room
that his vote would be adverse. He
made the statement with tears in his
eyes. Quay, who knew the loss of this
one vote would bar him temporarily
from the senate, shook Vest warmly by
the hand and declared that he respect
ed and loved his Missouri democratic
friend as much as ever.

FARMERS MONTH
AT WORLDS FAIR.
Biggest Department Of the Great EXPOSE.
ton Ready For the Inspection Of the
Army of Men Who Made Ms
Creation Possible.

Now that crops have been or are be-
ing laid by. the farmer prepares for his
trip to the Worlds Fair, treat that
has long been promised him and for
which he has patiently waited. No ex-
position has offered so many induce
ments for the farmers presence as this
one at st. Louis. nor has any previous
exposition given the prominence and
space to the subject Of agriculture.
August and September are ostensibly
the farmers months at the Exposition,
for It is at this season that the agricul-
ture exhibits are the freshest and best.
Products Of the new crops are pouring
into the booths from every state in the
Union, and additions are constantly
being made to the gorgeous display.
Headquarters for visiting farmers
may be found in every state section Of
the great Agriculture Palace, but for
their special convenience there has Just
been completed Grange House, stu
ated In the south end Of the building.
1t is equipped with reception room,
ladies' retiring rooms and check rooms,
where parcels may be left free of
charge. Here will be kept a list Of
moderate priced rooms TO aid visiting
farmers and their families in procuring
accommodations
The largest building on the grounds
Is the Palace of Agriculture, covering
twenty acres, while the Palace of Hor-
ticulture near by covers about third
as much space. These two immense
structures are filled with exhibits Of
the farm. garden and orchard of the
most extensive and elaborate character,
every state in the Union and most of
the principal countries of the world
being represented.
Agriculture is given more prominence
than any other department at the Ex-
position. the paramount Importance of
this great industry having been fully
appreciated from the very beginning
of the Worlds Fair movement
About seventy acres of ground are
covered by the agriculture and horti-
culture department at the Fair, large
outdoor spaces being devoted to this
industry. Outside there are growing
crops. trees and flowers, an instructive
six acre farm maintained by the Unit
ed States Government Plant Industry,
and gardens in all parts Of the grounds.
There are more exhibits In the Agri-
euiture building than in any other sec
ton Of the Exposition. This building
Is considered by many people the most
interesting part Of the Worlds Fair.
The exhibits in the palaces Of Agri-
culture and Horticulture constitute "a
display vast enough and instructive
