To Keep Flowers Fresh.

The popular person whose admiring
relatives and friends shower upon her
large and small tokens of their regard
in the form Of flowers may profit by a
few suggestions as to how to treat
them so they will last.
With the proper sort of care they
could be kept alive for three or four
days and in some cases a week. First,
put the flowers in paper boxes In the
evening, wrapped in oil paper. They
must be sprinkled we'll, being careful
not to wet the petals, as delicate roses
and sweet peas become spotted brown
when wet. If the stems are wet thor
oughly, then the flowers wrapped and
put in a box, and kept in a good place,
they will be fresh in the morning.
Before placing them in the vases, cut
off about quarter of an inch of the
stem where it has become hardened,
and wash thoroughly with warm water
in order to remove all traces of slime
or scum.

SOME NEWS SHOULD BE ia.
BOOED.

When the noochee-coochee dance
was all the rage; when cheap street
shows were giving out their ballyhoo
music from the outside and the
slender serpentine ladies were do
ing the sinuous stunt on the inside
of the tent, publicity made it possible
for all the fast" young girls in
many towns to inquire what about
hoochee-coochee. And now in New
York they are arresting many peo-
pie because of the Salome Dance
a similar proposition and of course
it will follow that innocent girls
will make inquiry. Why not keep
such indecent things out of the pub
lie prints? Why fill the columns
OF newspaper with stuff that
should be kept under lock and key?
Why bar papers from printing OBJ
scene language and let those cir
culate that suggest obscenity so
STRONGLY that it cannot be misun-
derstood?
We are no prude or no purist,
but it strikes us that the newspapers
are to blame for much sorrow in
the world. Why should an i'm
beetle like Harry Thaw have had
national notoriety? Why not try
case like that in chambers; keep
the press and it's buzzards out of
reach. If guilty of murder hang
