WHO WAS THE LosER2

A Kansas paper offers this as something
to figure on" A banker going home to
dinner saw $40 bin ON the cmbstone. He
picked it mp, noted the number and went
home to dinner
While at home his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent a bin amounting to $40.
The only money he had was the bin he
had found, which he gave to her and she
paid the butcher The butcher paid if to
farmer for calf; the farmer to the mer-
chant who, I'm turn paid it to a washer
woman, and she, owing the banker note
of $40, went to the bank and paid the note.
The banker recognized the biz. as the one
ne had found, and which to that time had
paid $50 worth Of debt
on careful examination he discovered that
the bill was counterfeit Now what was
lost by the transaction, and by whom?

NerpeS and Business.


Where Is Miss p. this morning?"

The employer enforced to make this in

FLOWERS KEPT BY FREEZING.
Method of Bringing to the North
from Tropical Regions.

from Tropical Regions.
From the Chicago Trblne
Freezing flowers to keep them fresh is
modern idea They are picked in the bud
and preserved by refrigeration while be-
ing transported. They can travel safely
in this way for several weeks. When IN
packed they are found free OF damage
and when placed IN water and left alone
they slowly awaken and come into fur
bloom.
It appears that experiments are being
made in South Africa with view to de-
spatching them IN this way IN bulk at the
seasons when they are scarce elsewhere
The flowers undergo no deterioration
from their treatment either IN the beauty
OF their color or in their longevity after
immersion IN water. Curiously enough
growth suspended by refrigeration ap-
pears 70 resume so slowly that the bios
SONS thrive IN a room for a considerably
longer period than II placed there immedi-
ately after being cut in the garden.
The process would also serve to intro
duce 10 our notice many beautiful mem
bers OF the horticultural family with
which at the present we are unfamiliar,
such plants as the gorgeous iris, which
grows wild in luxurious profusion IN
South Africa, or those which abound on
the slopes Of the Andes in South America.
