hang a white cloth over the cage at
night. leaving room for ventilation
Many OF the insects will retire into
the folds at daylight. when the cloth

into hot water.
One OF the greatest obstacles to the
successful rearing Of young canaries
Is the small insect known as the red
mite. or canary bug. The attentions
OF this bloodthirsty little parasite are
responsible for the deaths Of many
hundreds Of nesting canaries annually
Want Of cleanliness is one Of the chief
reasons for the appearance OF this pest
How to get rid Of 1t when 1t has once

results.

TIPS ON CARE OF FLOWERS.
How to Keep Them Fresh, as Told by
q Florist.

Very few persons understand the
art Of keeping flowers" said a st.
Louis florist. "and yet by a little at.
tention flowers may be kept fresh for
three or four times as long us people
expect them to stay In good condition,
THE matter is simple enough II is
merely a question Of temperature and
moisture Roses. for example. are
grown at high temperature in the
greenhouses aud are then generally
spoiled by III treatment after they have
been cut, Grown In temperature of
10 TO 20 degrees. they are placed In an
kebox. where the temperature stands
at about 40, Then when sold they are
taken Into dining or ball room. where
the temperature is IS or so. OF course
they wilt in few hours, sometimes In
few minutes. Nothing else could be
expected.
They could. however, be kept In
proper condition for a week by plac-
Ing them In water and standing the
vase in the coolest part OF the living
room. Every day half an inch of
stems should be cut off in order to
present fresh suction surface to the
water II this precautlon is neglected
the stem becomes clogged with gluti-
nous matter something like the gum
that exudes from peach and cherry
trees. the water In the vase. however
pure. cannot be drawn up. and the
leaves and flowers wither for lack OF
moisture.
in cutting OF the stems a knife
should always be used. never a pair OF
scissors. The reason il plain enough.
The knife makes a smooth cut, Ieav-
Ing the cells Of the wood open and un.
DISTRACTED. The scissor blades. no
matter how sharp they are. always
compress the woody fbers at the end
Of the stem and leave them so tightly
pressed together that It Is almost i'm
possible for sufficient moisture TO find
Its way through 70 support the leaves
and blossoms"

STRIKING ICEMEN RETURN;
WILL AWAIT ARBITRATION
Drivers Take Places on Wagons and
Will Let Differences Be Set
tied by Joint Com
mittee

The striking icemen returned to their
posts on the big wagons yesterday
morning and will let their differences
with the management go until Monday,
when a committee from the men and
the company will get together to settle
the matter by arbitration. No commit
tee at present has been named by either
party, but the minor details will be
settled between now and Monday.
The decision to arbitrate came yes
terday morning when the forty hands
showed up at the usual work hour and
were won over by overtures by the COM
pany. The threatened walkout was the
result of a change in the system, two
inspectors having been sent out to
check up the drivers instead of the
route foreman, and to this change the
men objected.
/. w. Weirick, president Of Icemens
union local No. PSI, and Nelson Swan
son, vice president, deny that the
union has anything to do with the
controversy between the drivers and
the ice company. Mr. Weirick stated
that such a matter would not come
under the jurisdiction of the union.
You may also say" said Mr. Wei
rick that there was no call for
meeting issued by j. G.. Mitchell, said
to be secretary of the union, as Mr.
Mitchell is not in the city and is not
