Cnt flowers viii last only three or

Won can make them last week or
more BY doing four things First, do
not try to arrange them the moment
yor get them. but put them in pail
Of water for few hours so that every
stem VIII be under water clear up to
the flower; second. cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
third, the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they win last If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy
them or have to so out for the after
noon do not leave them in the living
room, for they are not used to tenn
perature Of 20 degrees. Every night
put the vase In g cool place, or, better
stu, plunge the stems up to the now
ers In pail Of water, and, fourth, cut
about a quarter Of an inch OF each
stem every morning. It is more trou-
bic to do this under water, but 1t pays.
If you cut the stems in the ordinary

TIE Msndarin,s Robe.

The author of sRecol1ectious OF o
Society Clairoyant' tells Of the case
Of lady who was haunted by reason
Of a garment she wore. 1t was a
nandarin's robe from China, stated to
be part Of the loot from the sack OF
Picking. The owner, who lived in q
fiat. in London suburb, first began
to be alarmed by "a smell Of decom-
position in her bedroom" and heard
.stealthy footsteps padding along the
tiny passage in and out Of the sit
ting room" She changed her house.
but the obsession continued. The
dreadful smell REQUIRED, her cats died
in great agony from some unknown
cause, and uncanny footsteps were
heard at night. According to the
cIairvoyant's diagnosis, the robe had
belonged to "a man who had worn 1t
when he engaged in the mystic forms
of ceremonial magic known to the
Chinese. He had met with Violent
death. and certain malignant forces
were still imprisoned in his robe.
which. from the bloodstains on it, he
must have been wearing when he was
killed. The curse was eventually
dispelled by the robe being burned.

Meteoric Showers,

How many know that the earth is
getting larger each year from the fall
of Iaeteoric matter on its surface and
that such matter is Of no small
weight? One hundred tons day is
the estimate made by Young. This,
he says, would make layer one inch
thick over the entire earth in 1,O0O,-
100000 years if we assume this me-
teoric matter to be three times as
heavy as water. But another effect
has to take place at the same time.
As.the earth is getting larger theforce
of: gravity gets larger, and we are be-
ing attracted with more force toward
the sun. But tie centrifugal force
keeping Us away from the sun gets
much greater. too. and, IN fact, more
so thar the suns gravity, the result
being that we arc gradually ;Gcceas-
ire our distance from the glowing orb.

House Numbers

Before the advent Of the house mum.
Der only business signs, coats OF arms
and house names marked the different
buildings. Then, in London, for In
stance, one had to look for Mr. Jones,
should he desire to call upon that man,
in,> say, 'sWhitechapel, not far from
the Blue Boar" It is thought Berlin
in 1895 was the first city to employ
the numbering system. The German
innovators did not put odd numbers
on one side Of their streets and even
numbers on the other. They merely
started from the Brandenburg gate
and numbered straight ahead, taking
no account Of change Of street As
they proceeded. therefore, the num-
bers grew higher. the height to which
they attained being limited only oy
the supply OF houses. The first mouse
they numbered was No. l. the last the
number that betokened the total num-

glass Of wine in his company and gone
out Of the room, Fitzgerald remarked.
with disgust: did you notice how be
took up his glass? am sure he Likes
it. Bahw Fitzgerald himself, accord
ing to his. biographer, MI. A. Q. Ben
son, "lived practically on bread and
fruit, mostly apples and pears, even a
turnip, with sometimes cheese or but
ter and milk puddings. But he was
not q bigoted vegetarian. To avoid
an appearance Of singularity he would
eat meat at other houses and provided
it in plenty for his guests. But the
only social meal he cared to JOIN IN
was tea, pure and simple, with bread

Ghiherti,s Famous Doors.

: The world renowned doors Of the
baptistery at Florence represent nearly
the entire lifework Of Ghibert. He
began the first pair when he was twen.
ty-three years old, and when he fin.
ished the second pair he was seventy
three. Excepting the three statues out
side Or. San Michele and one OF two
minor works, these two pairs Of bronze
doors represent his labors for half a
century. These doors, declared by
Micha elangelo ..ft to be the gates OF
paradise" represent the book Of Gen
esis in all the depth Of Its meaning,
and the skill Of the artist has never
been overpreised It is impossible to
exaggerate the glory Of the work, and
If one has the time and money the
sight Of those wonderful doors is well
worth the trip to Florence.-New York

Ruakin and the Champion Bore


One Of the principal clubs in Pall
Mall has the misfortune to be fre-
quented by a gentleman who is by
common consent the greatest bore and
buttonholer in London. Some years
ago this good man, on his return from
his autumn holiday, was telling all
his acquaintance at the club that he
had been occupying a house at the
lakes not far from Mr.. Ruskin, who,
he added. was in a very melancholy
state.
81 am truly sorry for that" said one
of his hearers. "What Is the matter
with him"
"Well," replied the buttonholer. 81
was walking one day in the lane which
separated Ruskin's house from mine,
and I saw him coming down the lane
toward me. The moment be caught

vision. How much more must the
strain be when the window is so close
