To Refresh Flowers.

To refresh withered flowers which
have been packed or carried some dis
lance is not always easy. The follow
ing plan has been found satisfactory:
Plunge the stalks into very hot water
and allow them to stand till the water
is cold. Then cut off the ends of the
stalks and arrange the flowers in cold
water, in which tablespoonful Of salt
has been added. Thus treated, flow.
rers will last wonderfully in vases.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has
recommended to Congress the adoption
of the new postal note in denomina-
tons running from / cent to $3.50 as
an application of the present money
order system. 1t would afford a con-
venient means for transmitting small
sums of money through the mail. 1t is
proposed that notes of the denomina-
ton from / to 10 be sold at their face
value without fee. A fee Of / cent
would be charged for notes from 10 to
40 cents, and 2 cents for notes from
so cents to $3.50. To carry out the law
an appropriation of $4,000 is asked.

The House naval committee favors
the construction of the largest battle
ship in the world, one which, when
armed and armored, will have cost as
much as 100000. 1t will be in the
neighborhood of 10000 tons dispIace-
ment. The present bill is to carry an
appropriation of 100000 for the hull
and machinery alone. Other vessels
to be authorized are three torpedo
boat destroyers and number of sub
marines. Provision is made for the re-
pair Of the old warship Constitution
as a show vessel. The naval bill will
carry a total of $09,750,OOO.

The Bureau Of Labor has been di-
rected by the President to investigate
thoroughly the charges brought by or
ganized labor that the national eight
hour law is being violated in many
cases At the same time the officers Of

transmit any evidence they may pos

It may be true that agnosticism is
spreading In the United States, but in
Washington it is still the custom 10
profess religion. The President, Vice
President and all of the nine cabinet
councillors are avowed members of
some denominations. Presbyteranism
and its allied creeds claim the majority
OF those distinguished families.

When a motion is made and carried
in the United States Senate that the
Senate proceed to the consideration of
executive business" the galleries are
cleared, the doors are closed, and a
secret session begins. Executive BUSH
ness" is that in which the assent OF
the Senate is necessary to the acts of
the President, the chief executive, such
as tariffs and nominations to office. 1t
has become customary to call secret
session of the Senate an executive SEES
sion. Oddly enough, all sorts OF socie-
ties and committees have adopted the
behind closed doors is incorrectly
called an Executive session." The
wisdom of attempting secrecy in GER
tain deliberations of the Senate Is APP
parent. In discussing the fitness of the
Presidents selections for office. many
facts can be brought out in private
conference which should not be spread
on the records and sent broadcast over
the country. Senators would not speak
as freely as they ought If these were
the conditions. Whatever leaks out
now is unofficial. But it is in the con-
sideration of treaties that the secret
session is most necessary. A President
often has reasons for the adoption OF
certain policy, which would be upset
If all the world knew what these were.
All the sessions of the Senate in the
First Congress were secret, as were
those of the convention which drafted
the Federal Constitution. Much of the
important committee work of Congress
is still done behind closed doors.
-
The first amendment Of the national
Constitution denies to Congress the
right to abridge the privilege of petit
tioning the government for the redress
of grievances. That the American peO-
pie make large use Of the privilege is
shown by the overlooking petition
box" on the Speakers desk in the
House of Representatives, and by the
records of morning business in the SEN
ate, in which body petitions are formal
ly presented. Congress inclines to at
tach less Importance to petitions which
seem to be ''machine-made' than to
those which appear to be from citizens
who of their own motion ask for some
thing. 1t Is notorious that many, per-
haps, most, men and women are will
ing to sign almost any petition that is
presented to them, and hence it is
never certain that a large number of
the signers really care anything about
the cause they seem to advocate. Yet
by far the greater number of petitions
| are the result of concerted movement.
| The leaders of an organization favor
ing proposed legislation ask each lodge
| or chapter or church or union or local
| group to petition for it, and usually
they receive signatures in ample mum.
