How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh.

A woman who sells cut flowers for
living lights a shaving of wood,
such as is used at cigar stands, and
chars the stems of her bouquets with
it. She does not apply the match to
the flower, as the sulphur would
destroy it. If the stem is properly
charred, the flower will last twice as
long. A glass of golden grain belt
beer is refreshing at all times.

The second day Of the Ration Trap
Club shoot was very unfavora5le to
the shooters and the best shots failed

were four men, Lawton, Cotton, Cobb
and Sorcande who tied for first place
by killing ten birds out ten, and three
men, McCreary, King and Browner,
tied for second place with nine birds.
The averages were as follows: Max

Burrows spoke in favor of a duty on
iron ore as a source OF revenue. The
present duty OF forty cents, which
the committee proposes to reduce to
twenty-five cents, yields, he said. a
revenue of $3S2,0OO, which would be
lost by placing iron ore on the free
list as proposed by the house.
Burrows said it was reasonable to
state that $500 men were receiving

of ore. which industry, he said, it
was now proposed to open to the COM
petition of the world Quoting from

yesterday told us our iron ore depos-
its would be exhausted in thirty

The senator also discussed the iron

mittee on finance, placing duty of
twenty-five cents ton on iron ore, he
would later move to put that article

duty would rebound to the benefit of
