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

Freezing flowers to keep them fresh is
a modern idea. They are picked IN the
bud aud preserved by refrigera ion willie
being transported. They can travel safe
" ID this way for several weeks. When
unpackeG they are found free Of dam
age and when placed in water and left
alone they slowly awaken and come into
full bloom.
Il appears that experiments are being
made IN South Africa with Il view to
despatching them in this way in bulk
at the seasons when they are scarce else
where. The flowers undergo no deteri-
GRAFTON from their treatment either In the
beauty Of their color Or in their longevity
after immersion in water. Curiousiy
enough growth suspended by refrigera-
ton appears TO resume 50 slowly that
the blossoms thrive in q rcom for a con-
siderably longer period than il placed
there Immediately after being cut in the
garden.
The process would also serve to intro

Getman ACTOR Poorly Pnid.

The world in general is frequently
told that In Germany the theater IS
much more popular, much better under
stood and more intelligently appreciated
than elsewhere. If this is true the
managers Of other countries may have
cause to revise their salary lists, for it is
in the matter of pay apparently that
there is the great fundamental difference
between Germany and the United States
or England.
The figures published BY the German
Stage association show that only 10 per
cent. Of the artists earn more than $3.50
a year and fully half make less than
$3.50. Stars In the provinces and the
smaller court theaters receive only from
$3.50 TO 5000 and have TO spend from $50
10 5000 on their wardrobes. In Nurem-
berg. a,city with nearly 100000 inhabit-
ants. salaries at the Nolks theater range
from $3.75 to about SIS a month.

coon WORD FoR FAT MEN.
Indications That They Are Gaming in
Popular Appreciation.

For the past 1900 years the relative
popularity and efficiency Of fat men have
been mooted questions. Two Of the most
distinguished citizens Of that rather ex-
teBsive period have arrayed themselves
on opposite sides Of the question. Julius
Caesar declared. al least in the hearing
Of William Shakespeare. that Re pre-
ferred 70 have about him fiat men. sleek
headed. and such as sleep O nights On
the ether hand. Edmund Day. who has
given q the world a couple Of the most
delightful fat men in all dramatic litera-
ture. declares: "Shucksl Nobody loves a
fat mar" Only he didn't say 'shucks."
To the literature Of this all-abs0rbing
question a Philadelphia contemporary
contr .bntes the suggestion that Mr.. Taft
has established for all time in American
history the fat man as an institution en-
titled 10 public esteem. He is wanting
IN neither avoirdupois nor in mental
DOise. He Is thick-headed only in regard
TO the size Of his hat. He is technically
obese. but not lethargic either mentally
or physically. Some one remarked long
e that IN some fat men the fat pre-
dominates, and in others the men pre-
dominate. In Mr.. Taft it is the man.

GOT MONEY WITH INTEREST

The big pickerel, wrenching itself free
from the hook, and attracted by the
shining coin, swung under the boat.
The great jaws opened and the coin
disappeared before Rosenstein's very
eyes.

fairly good days catch. Trolling back
toward the dock in the evening he felt
a strike, and after furious ten-min.
ute battle landed an enormous pick.

reached the dock and began to strip
his catch, what was his surprise on
splitting the big pickerel to find the

Rosenstein poked around with the
knife and uncovered So cents in small
silver coins and pennies. It was inter
est at the legal rate on the lost SIC
gold piece.

Fish Story That Is offered with
"Proof" Of Veracity.

Few more remarkable experiences
have ever befallen fisherman than
those of Nathan Rosenstein of st.
Paul, who last August wene fishing in
beautiful Lake Bermidji Bernstein
caught seven sunfish and perch and
was about to give up and quit when
an enormous pickerel made a furious
cash at his bait.
Rosenstein had just placed his pipe
between his teeth and was exploring
his trousers pockets for a match. The
suddenness of the strike startled
nim and he jerKed his pole with his
free hand, while ,!nvoluntarily Juggling
at the other to get it free from his
pocket. All would have gone well, but
for the pocket flap, which caught his
hand and held it for a second.
Another vicious tug freed the fork
manipulation, but as it came loose a
$40 gold piece slipped out of the
pocket and rolled toward the gun
vale. Rosenstein dropped the pole
and grabbed for the coin, but it slid
overheard and with a dull "chug"
slipped gently downward through the
clear water. Fascinated by the sight,
Rosenstein could but sit and watch.
Then curious thing happened.
