HOME, ITS PROBLEMS AND INTERESTS
TO ARRANGE FLOWERS.
There Are Several Rules That Should
Be Followed.

1t is we'll to remember that all flowers
look better for looseni,ig up a trifle and
few look well packed tightly together.
One of the safest rules to follow is TO
heed the natural growth of the flower
whenever possible. Flowers that grow in
thick clusters are certain to look well in
masses while those that grow Stngly
and far apart should not be crowded.
The object should always be to bring out
the whole beauty of the flowers and to
let everything else be secondary to that.
Chrysant hemumS and sweet peas are
examples OF the few flowers that do not
need foliage as a relief. Nearly all
others look far better amid green leaves.
A trailing green vine is often just the
touch that IS needed to soften & stiff
arrangement Asparagus fern is an airy.
faathery green suitable only for fragile
and delicate flowers in loose arrange
ment. Wood sorrel has delicate leaves
that look well with sweet peas and other
small flowers, but as a rule a flowers
own foliage suits 1t best.
The vases used play an important part
in the success Of flower arrangements
Colorless transparent vases are always
safe and sometimes absolutely neces-
sary. Bowls are beautiful for short
stemmed flowers, and the cheaper varie-
ties are sometimes the best An ordi-
nary glass fish globe displays the full
beauty of the stems to far greater ad-
vantage than a cut glass rose bowl.
The colorless glass olive bottle going
straight up and down is more to be de-
sired than Opaque vases which hide
decorative stems. Tall, slender vases
are suitable for long stemmed flowers.
1t is said that the height Of 1ong-stem-
med flowers should be one and one-half
times the height of the vase
Yellow flowers In dark blue jar are
effective and brilliant red flowers look
well in the neutral gray jars of some Of
the Japanese ware. The purple violet
finds its richness intensified in a pale
yellow jar Pansies and violets both look
their best in low bowls. Lilacs and sim
liar flowers need a heavy jar, preferably
OF cylindrical shape.
1t is weli not to mix flowers of differ
ent kinds and different colors. A cluster
or blossoms all presenting the same hue
is usually the most effective arrange
ment- Some flowers, such as a chrysan-
themum or a rose. when long stemmed
ana handsome. are set off to advantage
when quite the single flower occupies

PARIS, July At it doubtful If the
Fourth of July Is being celebrated any
where even in the United States with
any more enthusiasm than at Cher
bourg.
The American squadron under Admiral
Sigsbee is gay with all the bunting and
decorations which can be strung aboard
the ships and the great fleet of French
warships combined with the Americans
in honoring the national birthday OF
their visitors. The seamen are deter
mined to make this Fourth of July one
long to be remembered in the French
port.
Races and Games.
Rowing races and athletic games
aboard ship and in the water of the
harbor are being held in which French
ana American seamen struggle with
mighty purpose for victory. Dinners at
which the American officers are either
guests or hosts. are scheduled aboard
nearly every warship in the harbor.
The American sailors have gained gold
en- opinion by their conduct while here
and Cherbourg has never had more pop
ular guests. There will be a concert
and a parade this afternoon. in whic!
both Americans and French will par
ticipate, and tonight there will be q

Admiralty officers say. that the trou-
Bile on the armored cruiser Minin was
not really a mutiny in the sense of the
trouble in the Black sea fleet. Some
men simply refused TO obey orders TO

she was not fl. They were promptly

Private advices. however, declare that
only the presence of an overwhelming
military force prevents a general up
rising of the sailors and workmen at
kronstadt. and that it would take lit
tie TO bring this about, even in the face
of the strong military force which now
patrols the city.
The strike in St Petersburg is spread

disorders. The feeling among workmen,
however is ugly. Trouble may occur ar
any time

necessary.
Censorship Rigid.
The government permits very little
news to come through from Poland.

.LANSTON INQUIRY
TURNS TO STOCKS
New Keep Commission Is
Getting More Light.
CRISIS FOR OPPONENTS
Both Companies Fighting Hard-Meet-
ings at President T. Maury Doves
House Described at Length.

The Lanston inquiry being conducted
at the Government Printing Office by
the new Keep Commission is unravel-
ing so much of interest that no one can
yet predict where II VIII end or how
much longer the commission viii con-
tinue its sessions. There was no session
today. the commission having adjourned
10 Thursday.
One of the significant features of the
session of late yesterday afternoon was
the line OF questioning regarding the
purchase of Lanston stock in recent
| months by persons in a position to make
good gueSseS to the attitude of the
Public Printer toward the Lanston
| machine. Four persons purchased
stock, 1t was shown, two of them be-
| ing employees of the printery and two
others the wives of employees. One
| clerk testified that he had purchased
| stock at little over l5 and had sold
| out at a profit Of $50. Two others ad-
mitted holding 100 shares Of Lanston at
the present time.
This line of inquiry is likely to be fol-
| lowed by the commission a good deal
| further. In this respect and along the
other lines followed, the testimony so
| far both documentary and verbal, has
| furnished groundwork for various sup
| positions. 1t is thought highly probable,

| Apart from bringing out the facts In
