photographs, scenery or places of in

stuck in book made for this purpose,

this way a kind of illustrated diary is
kept by writing on the ruled paper a

Much of the interest of the family
holiday depends upon whether the par

history and the like. If they know
about tides, Winds rocks and sand,
trees and flowers, they are able to keep

Beautiful flowers that abound in most
places in the country are often sent
to the stay at homes and a little knowl-

how to pack them may not come amiss.
Never pick those that are full blown.

may not come out in water. Buds
three-fourths blown and blooms which
are just well opened travel best and
last longest. Pick before the sun is
high and place the flowers in water in
a cool place for some hours before
packing and posting or pick overnight,
leave in water and pack and send off
by the early morning post If this will
enable the flowers to reach their des-
tination the same day. If blossoms are
picked in the sun and not allowed to
drink their fill of water it Is just a
chance If they win recover from the

Within the next five years the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad station in New

will be completed. and the new Grand
Central station will be ready for use
year sooner.
Four city blocks have been RACED by
the contractors in charge of the Work
on the PENNSYLVANIA station, and the
great travelling steam shovels are at
work each tearing away thousand
cubic yards of earth daily, while a
hundred drills bore into the exposed
rock and heavy charges of dynamite
rack it into fragments
A great excavation sixty feet deep,
in parts, must be dug, and in all two
million cubic yards of earth and rock
will be carted away before the work
of building the new station can be
begun.
The cost of this work will be sixty
million dollars, to which must be add
ed the ten million dollars spent in dc-
quiring real estate. Over in New Jer-
sey the work of boring the tunnel that
is to carry the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania into New York has been begun
and a shaft seventy-f1ve feet deep and
thirty-five feet in diameter has been
sunk. From this point two separate
tunnels a mile in length, will be bored
to the water front. and thence, under
the river bottom, six thousand feet to
the shaft on the western shore of
Manhattan island where the under
land tunnels will strike through to the
station. On Long Island the shaft
work has also been begun. and before
long the work of tunneling the East

Ivory backed brushes are so liable to
get soiled and spotted even with the
greatest care that many people will be

should be laid on; the ivory and allowed

brushed off.
Another plan is to dip small bit of
damp flannel into table salt and rub
with this. If the backs of the brushes
are carved the former method will be
found the better.

Boys are men that have not got

When God looked at Adam, He
said TO himself, Well, l think l
can do better if I try again, and
He made Eve. Boys are trouble;
they wear out everything but soap.
If l had my way, the world would
be girls and the rest dolls. My
papa is so nice l think he must
have been a little girl when he was
a little boy. Man was made and
