FREEZING FLOWERS.

The latest and approved method OF pre-

flowers are picked while in the bud and will keep
perfectly for several weeks in refrigerator boxes

treatment. and after they have been unpacked and

when he was annoyed anything II was quite
useless to attempt argue with him. On one oc-
casion he was very angry over the manner in which
one of the Dutch newspapers had criticised his

up and down a corridor at his palace, storming and
gestiCuiating his wont. The Cabinet was
becoming desperate, since important papers
demanded his immediate attention. 1t left
one of the ladies Of the court to solve the diff
Guilty. She sent little Princess Wilhelmina then
about five years old, into the corridor to meet her
father. She watched him for d moment unnoticed
and then initiated his actions, stamping backward
and forward, with her fists tightly clenched HIS

dom league, declaring for continual
ton of the militant propaganda for
suffrage. They first attempted to
march in procession, but their line
being broken up by the police they
mingled with a crowd of the curious
who had gathered to witness the scene
and sauntered singly toward Downing
street.
The police, however, had complete
ly blocked all entrances to the thor
oughfare and twenty of the more mil
liant suffragettes, who tried to break
through the lines, were arrested
charged with interfering with the po-
lice. For time there was a scene of
great disorder, women time and time
again throwing themselves valiantly
against the double line of police, only
to be forced back, or, If they were
unusually persistent, to be handed
over to constables, who marched them
off to the police station amid cheers,
boots and Kisses from the throng.
The police finally cleared the street
and the women who were not arrested
returned to their hall, where they
were addressed by leaders,.
