ABOUT PRESSING FLOWERS
Pressed Flowers Are Pleasant Sou
venirs of Vacaton-How They
May Be Preserved.

No prettier Or more pleasures giving
vacation spent at the seashore or IN
the country could be found than a spec
linen book filled with dried flowers,
leaves and seaweeds, and the work of
gathering and preparing them would
amuse the most Indifferent boy or girl.
Then it is very simple, and costs lit
tie time and trouble.
The collector should provide him
self with a tin botanical box, or, lack
Ing this, with several dozen sheets Of
soft, thick, unglazed wrapping paper,
and two boards for covers. The paper
and the boards should be several
inches larger than the book in which
the specimens are to be preserved, adj
vises. the Chicago Inter Ocean.
AS each specimen is gathered, place
1t between two sheets of the paper,
being careful to make it lie in a
natural position. When the collector
reaches home, he should transfer the
specimens to fresh sheets of paper,
placing several sheets between them,
and when they are thus placed, one on
top of the other, they should be weight
ed down with anything convenient, say
books, or heavy boards, or even
stones.
They should remain thus weighted
tor from "a to 48 hours, and should
then be removed to fresh sheets of pa
per, and be packed and weighted down
as at first, allowing them to stay so
for another period of from "a to 48
hours. The paper used in the first
packing may be dried and used again.
When the specimens are taken from
the second packing, they should be
mounted or fastened on separate
sheets of paper for preservation.
There are several ways of doing this.
One way Is to gum down the whole
flower or leaf, but better way is to
fasten it IN place by putting narrow
bands Of paper over parts of it. By
the last method it is possible. if de-
sired, to remove the specimen to a
fresh sheet OF paper.
The specimens may be mounted in
a scrapbook, or the separate sheets
may be kept in box of proper size;
| if the latter light weight should be
kept on them. A bit of camphor in
| the box will preserve the specimens,
but better still is it to open and ex-
anime them now and then, so that
they may get air. No specimen should
be put away until it is perfectly dry,
or 1t will mold.
On each sheet containing a specimen
should be written the name of the
flower or leaf, with the place where it
was Obtained, and the date.

THE CAMERA FIEND.
Amusement Like Taking
Pictures.

A well-known criminal lawyer ono
day sauntered into police court just
as case was called. 1t appeared that
the defendant had no attorney, and
the judge glanced about the room to
see whom he might assign to the case.
"I'll take it, judge" the late conner
said, wishing to pass away the time.
by the way, what is the man
charged WITH" the attorney presently
asked.
Hes camera fiend of the worst
sort, Mr.. Brown" the judge said
with slight smile. II expect to send
him to the workhouse for about three
months"
What" the lawyer shouted, indig-
nantly. Your honor must be joking.
Send man to the rock pile for three
months for little harmless amuse-
ment like taking pictures?"
WELL" the judge said, mildly, che
don't take pictures much-it's the
cameras he takes"

Chicken Salad.

Four pounds chicken will make SAL

Cut the light and dark meat into
fine pieces. Use two-thirds of the
chicken to one-third of celery. Mix the
salad with the dressing, saving some
to pour over the top before using.
Salad Dressing tablespoon
mustard, one tablespoon sugar, a
teaspoon of salt, one cup milk, one of
vinegar, three eggs. Mix sugar, salt

A Dinner PARTY.

Everything should be in readiness
sometime before dinner is actually
announced, SO that the maid can go
round and see that nothing is for
gotten. A thing to impress strongly
on servants is the necessity for CIV
ing all plate and glass a final polish
before putting it on the table, as
nothing looks worse than plate or
glass which is finger-marked or not
perfectly cleaned. Attention to these
little points is the mark of we'll.
trained servant and a good mistress.

Sardinia Once Wild Country.

Sardinia was a wild place in the
middle of the last century. A trav-
eler says: THE men are clothed in
goat-skins, one before and another
behind, without breaches, shoes or
stockings, and wooden or skin cap
on the head. The women have no
other habiliments than long wooden
gown and wooden cap. The peas
t-nts always go armed to defend them
selves from one another, SO that trav-
cling in the interior is extremely I'M
safe without an escort; and it is even
dangerous for ships to send their peo-
pie on shore for water unless they
are we'll armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays of the Mediterranean"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.

A Summer Drink.

Owing to it's acidity, buttermilk is

unable to take fresh cows milk and

Paper Telegraph Poles.

Serviceable telegraph poles can, It
- found, be constructed of paper.
Such poles are made of paper pulp, in
which boraX, tallow, ETC., are mixed
in small quantities. The pulp is cast
in mold with a core in the center,
and forms hollow rod of the desired
length. The paper poles are said to
be lighter and stronger than those of
wood, and to be unaffected by the sun,
rain, dampness, or any of the other
causes which shorten the life of a
wooden pole.
