crystalli.ing Flowers.

The process Of crystallizing flowers
is simple ard can be satisfactorily &C.
complished by any one who has artis-
tic skill. Arrange some basket forms
Of any desired pattern with pliable
copper wire and wrap them with
gauze. Into these tie to the bottom
violets, ferns, geranium leayes-in
fact, any flowers except full blown
roses-and sink them in solution Of
alum of one pound to o gallon Of wa
ter. Wait until the solution has cool
ed, as the colors will then be pre-
served In their original beauty, and
the crystallized alum will hold them
faster than when formed in a hot solu-
ton. When you have light covering
of crystals that completely envelopes
the articles, remove cheerfully and
allow it to drip twelve hours. These
baskets make a unique ornament and
long preserve their freshness.

A lady who was in Port Arthur dur
ing the bombardments by Admiral To
go's feet thus describes the curious
effect produced on eats by the can
nonade: IL was Mt my window during
each bombardment by the Japs, but
only through the day, because at night
| did not dare stir out of bed. In
front of me there was little roof on
which five or six cats of the nelghbor-
hood collected. Each time there was
bombardment the cats duly arrived,
and, having observed them, | on the
second occasion proceeded to watch
them. With my family we passed the
hours looking at them. At each gun
shot the cats arched their backs and
stiffened their legs and seemed both
terrified and furious. Then when n
kissing shell arrived II gave the signal
for n frightful battle. They jumped
at ench other, raging like tigers, and
seemed to hold each other responsible
Cor what was taking place. The effect
was so comical that we could not help
laughing, although the occasion did
not inspire gayety. After having
fought. the cats retired for awhile, as
though bewildered, but as soon us the
bombardmcnt began again they went
through the same business. Each time
1t was always the same"

Ne Foe. story About ENGLAND.

De Foe, the author of Robinson Cru
soe," travelled through the great east
ern marshes OF England In 1922. He
records that in that damp part of the
world" it was common to meet with Il
man who had had from five to fifteen
wives. Indeed he says that some had
more. DE Foe adds that merry fellow,
who had himself had about a score Of
wives, told him that the men of the
marshes, being seasoned to the damp
climate, took little harm from 1t, but
that they went into the "hilly country"
for their wives, when they took the
young lasses out of the wholesome
and fresh air, they were healthy, fresh
and clear and well. But when they
came out OF their native air into the
marshes among the fogs and damp,
there they presently changed their
compilations, got an ague or two and
seldom held it above half year or a
year Mt the most" One wife was sac
rificed, another was procured. and so
the process went on. De Foe is careful
to state that his merry informer ''fib-
bed little" at least concerning his
own wives, but he declares that the
general statement is perfectly true.
