When to Cut Flowers.
From Gardening Illustrated

From Gardening Illustrated.
The best time TO cut flowers is early In
the morning while the dew is upon them,
or else during the evening. As soon as
cut, the stems should be placed in water,
even II IN a temporary way. II not con-
venient 10 arrange them at once in their
proper positions.
When the flowers have to be packed
early In the morning to be sent a long
distance they must be cut extra early. or
what IS better, cut the previous evening
and placed In water all night In cool
place which can be kept close. In this
way they absorb all the water II Is pos
sible for them to do, being consequently
fresher when unpacked.

A Victorious Rear.

A large bear made it's appearance
in the pasture of Masahore, Soyo,
Kitami Province, and attacked a
three-year-old bull which was MUNICH
ing grass. The pair fought to the
death-of the bull. Two other bulls
which were separately roaming about
the pasture were attracted by the
struggle and as soon as their mate
was killed sprang upon the bear with
their united strength. A desperate
fight ensued for some time. but un.
fortunately it resulted in the fall of
the two revenging companions after
they had sustained severe wounds
from the paws of the wild animal.
The triumphant monster then took
the first bull in his grip and disap-
peared into the valley, leaving his
telltale footprints in the soft earth

1t Is no doubt true that Americans
feed their horses too much hay. 1t
is common among horse owners to let
horses stand to full managers when
not at work. But in London, the cab

but two hours day, in the evening.
At the end of two hours the managers
are cleared. Careful testing in de-

DRIVING POLAR HARES

A story is told of a boy in New
foundland who had two polar hares
which he one day determined to har-
ness to his sled. Gentle as the crea-
ture is, it had the utmost dislike of
being touched and SO it was a long
and tiresome struggle for Master Tom
before he could induce the hares to
submit to even the simple harness he
had contriyed. But at last it was ac-
complished, and with little Miss An
ME, his three-year-old sister, on the
sled, Tom touched his pets with his
whip.
Poor little Annie must have
thought that she had suddenly
alighted upon the tail of comet go
ing about a hundred miles a minute,
for no sooner had the hares felt the
whip than with one accord they

A HORSE IN A MARSH.

One night while in the country we
were suddenly awakened by the bark
Ing of our dog. We got up and in
vestigated, but could find nothing
wrong, so we thought that perhaps he
had heard some one passing on the
road, and again retired for the night.
The following morning we again
searched the barnyard and found that
the horse was missing. We looked
all over the grounds and finally found
him stuck in the swamp.
There were four men staying at the
house, and they tried to raise the
horse, but all their efforts failed, for
he sunk deeper and deeper. They
then went across the road and asked
our neighbor for assistance. He,
knowing the danger of the swamp, re-
sponded Immediately, bringing with
him his son, team of horses and two
of his boarders. The eight men
worked for about three hours, being
in great danger themselves of slipping
into the marsh or of being hurt by
tHe morse, WHO was HSHlluS oil IHe
while for liberty. At last their eff
forts were rewarded, for they sue
ceeded in getting a rope under his
legs. and with one vigorous pull
raised him enough to put plank
under him. Then, with another pull,
he was raised on firm ground.
The horse was so weak when he
was taken out of the swamp that he
could hardly stand, but after good
treatment for two or three days he
was himself again. Every precaution
has been taken to prevent him from
ever getting in there again.-Mar-
guerite E. Bender, in the New York
Tribune.

BEAUTY.

For many years I had longed for
a pet, especially puppy. On my last
birthday I was presented with tiny
two-weeks-old dog. My delight knew
no bounds. After long consultation
we named him Beauty, and a very ap-
propriate name it was. We made
many futile attempts to feed him
from a saucer, but he puts his head
and feet into it, so we gave that up.
Finally we hit upon the plan of using
baby bottle. My little pet became
so attached to it that he hated to part
with it. He soon began to try to hold
1t with his little paws, but of course
they slipped from the smooth surface.
Beauty had dear little basket and
blankets all to himself. Every morn
ing and evening I washed him with
a sponge, and soon he came to like
this process. In the night I tucked
him snugly into my room. He was
very restless and often kept me
awake. He was also very particular
as to his meal hour and resented the
nOn-appearance of a bottle at 8 a. m.
by various squeals and funny little
barks. Now comes the sad part of
my story. After staying uD several
nights with my puppy, mother said
he was too much work and too young,
so [ gave my poor little doggie away.
A veterinary surgeon is now his proud
owner, while his former one never
thinks of him without sign of re-
gret.-Audrey P. Dering, in the New,

THE CAT AND THE THRUSH

This is true story of how a Per-
sian cat protected a thrush on her
nest from the attacks of other birds.
The cats name is Buff, and she is
the pride of the residents of Broad
street, Middletown, N. Y. The owner
of the cat has several shade trees in
which robins, bluejays, orioles,
tnrushes and an occasional wren hold
forth. The other day there was a
great commotion in the trees, and in
vestigation showed that a cuckoo vas
attacking a nesting thrush.
Buff was seen climbing craftily up
the limbs, and her presence only
added to the confusion. Her owner,
thinking she was after the birds, gave
her sound cutting. The next morn
ing there was another rumpus in the
trees and the cat was seen lying along
a limb in easy reach of the setting
thrush.
The cuckoo, which is too lazy to
build himself nest, drives less war
like birds from theirs and takes pos
session. This cuckoo was screaming
away at the thrush and cat, and the
jays were chattering in anger, which
pair of glasses held by the gardener
clearly showed was directed at the
thrush. The cuckoo flew directly at
the thrush and the cat made sweep
ing thrust at him. Several times the
bird renewed the attack, but each
time the glasses showed that Buff
drove him off. The cat retained her
position until TIE intruder gave up
the attempt, and then she withdrew
to the lawn.
For the last three mornings the cat
has kept watch over the thrush, and
for two days has remained on duty
while the mother thrush few away
for food for the five young thrushes
that have been hatched. Other birds
have discovered that the cat means
no harm and they fly close about her
when she Is on the limb beside the
thrush's nest.-Madeline w. Lane, in

GROWING DAIRY INDUSTRY.

The growth of this great industry
Is shown in the increase of dairy cows

ment. The increase of dairy COWS in
the year named is $4,000 in round
numbers. We have already called at.

IN LIEU OF ICE CREAM.

However men may talk of rising
superior to the pleasures of the pal
ate, the desire of the individual on
short commons for something good to
eat will intrude itself in even the
gravest situations. That in time of
battle ones thoughts may be occu-
pied, not so much with dread of the
bullet as with wistful recollections of
a generous and tempting bill of. fare,
is shown by Frederick Palmer's ex-
perience, told in with Kuroki in
Mancnuria." Mr. Palmer and a fell
low war correspondent had spent the
night sleeping on the stalks of corn
field.
When we awoke the flashes of the
Russian guns were playing. DroWsily
we rolled out OF our blankets with
the comprehension that the artillery
fire was going on, as it had yesterday,
and that we were hungry and there
was no breakfast in sight. Probably
the artillery fire would go on forever,
probably there were no soft beds and
no square meals anywhere in the
world.
AS we dressed, Collins broke in
with:
what should like would be, first,
some grapes, all dewy, off the ice,
then" but l would not allow him
to go any further.
We had a little rice and some cof-
fee. He boiled the rice and I made
the coffee, and 1 assure you we did
not oVertaX our stomachs.
And after l had topped off with
ice cream" said Collins, reminiscent
ly, Il think I'd go to sleep with or
ders not to wake me-ever."
We had something that tasted as
good as ice cream to the diner-out in
town. A spring bubbled out of the
plowed earth, bubbled ceaselessly,
coolly, from a filter of sandy loan,
laughing typhoid to scorn. When
looked at it | remember wondering
how auch cool water could come out
of corn field on such hot day.
If linen cloth, and spotless nap
kins, and Collins idea of breakfast
had been realized, 1 could not have
felt much happier than was to have
