FLOWERS IN THE HOUSEHOLD
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First,
do not try to arrange them the mo
ment you get them, but put them in q
pail Of water for few hours, SO that
every stem will be under water 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 will last. II you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room, for
they are not used to such a tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase in q
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in a pail Of
water Fourth, cut about a quarter of
an inch of each stem in the morning.
1t is more trouble to do this under
water. but it pays. II you cut the
stems in the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the tax
ing in Of water.-Delineator.

NEED OF CARPETS FOR ROADS
English Expert Recommends Use OF
an "Elastic Skin" on the
Highways.

A lecture was recently delivered by
member of the board before the
Royal Institute Of London on THE
Road-Past. Present and Future" ac.
cording to Consular and Trade Re
ports. The lecturer said the problem
was to find the best mode by which a
road should be constructed so that its
surface would not be broken by traf-
fic. 80 that the transit might be easier
for both passengers and goods. a road
which would form neither puddle
holes nor exude mud from vehicles
and create no dust when the weather
was dry.
One thing was universally recog.
nized. that the road OF the future
should be truly bound road in which.
whatever kind of stone was used, the
stone should be held together SO that
1t would form a crust. The lecturer
suggested that what he called a car.
pet or an elastic skin should be adopt.
ed as the covering.
The carpet, he thought. should be
made Of bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads In
various thicknesses. according to the
nature Of the traffic. 1t should go on
in liquid form, solidifying quickly. but
always remaining resilient and com.
pressible. and so integrating with the
crust Of the surface below.
The advantage OF such carpet. II
was said. would be to permanently
protect the crust. and. just as a carpet
on the floor softens the step. SO would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock of rolling
vehicles. 1t was admitted that the or
iginal cost OF n road so laid would be
more than that OF mud bound road,
but spreading the cost over series
of years 1t would probably not be so
great. since the crust Of the road IL
self would not have to be renewed.

irons were shaped like the ordinary
flat-iron. only larger. A solid block
of wood rested on the top of the iron,
and on this the men placed one foot.

ton by means of the handle. For the
sake of convenience. ironing boards

method may seem to us, the work

tiously.
