WAYS OF PRESSING FLOWERS
Visitor to Country May With Little
Trouble Secure Some Interest
Ing Specimens.

The visitor to the country who
likes to press flowers can find no bet
ter pressing agent than sheets Of
newspapers, put under heavy blocks.
Cut the newspapers into sheets OF
conveniently small size, and make a
pad of half a dozen of them to put
under the flowers, and another to put
over them. Then pile several heavy
books on them.
Change the newspaper pads two,
three or four times when the flowers
are first pressed, as the paper abb
serbs the moisture from the flowers
and should be changed for dry paper.
AS soon as the flowers are thor
oughly dried, they can be mounted on
sheets of stiff paper or thin card
board. The best way to mount them
is to cut narrow strips of court plas-
ter or passe partout binding and to
fasten the flowers securely to the
cardboard or paper by pasting the
strips over the stems.
Yellow and green are the most per-
sistent colors in flowers. They do not
fade to any perceptible degree for
many months. White does not fade,
of course, but 1t turns brown, and
red fades rapidly. Blue fades, too,
and lavender and purple combine the
faults of blue and red.

One hundred years ago a British
force landed on the Massachusetts
coast and attacked the little village of
Wareham. Earlier in the year the
British squadron, which for many
months had maintained a strick block
ade along the New England coast, had
commenced active operations by send
ing an expedition up the Connecticut
river. Now the enemy's depredations
were extended to the Massachusetts
coast. Wareham and the town of Scit-
uate were the first sufferers. A sud-
den descent made by boats crew
from the frigates Superb and Nimrod
80 completely surprised the inhabi-
tants that the enemy burned the ship,
ping at the wharves, looted the shops
and returned to their vessels before
the bewildered villagers had time to
take any measures for defense.

BRIDES MIXED AT WEDDING
Honeymooners, Returning, Flne That
Their Certificates Of Marriage
Are in Error

1t is really a very annoying situa-
tion indeed. Here, Mrs. John F. Bar
rett, or at least the charming bride
who until yesterday thought she was
Mrs. John F. Barrett, finds that her
marriage certificate reads that she is
the wife of Robert d. Savage, whom
she has been platonically considering
all this time as her brother-in-law. And
little Mrs. Robert d. Savage finds she
isn't Mrs. Robert D. Savage at all in
the stupid marriage certificate, but is
there recorded as Mrs. John F. Bar
rett. 1t is really very annoying in
deed, says the San Francisco Bulletin.
Some months ago Margaret Casey
and Elise Casey, daughters of James
T. Casey, supervisor of San MateO.
we're centers of interest at big dou-
BILE wedding at Colma. Margaret went
to the altar with Robert Savage, a
young ranchman of Halfmoon Bay, and
Elise dittoed to the ditto and ex-
changed vows with John Barrett, a con-
tractor of San Francisco
The Barretts went on a trip East.
The Savages proceeded on an automo-
bile tour through Southern California.
Now they have returned to find that
the marriage certificates, all duly
signed and filed. have registered as
husband and wife quite the wrong
pairs. Margaret's name is where
Elise's ought to be and, equally annoy
ing, Elises name is where Margaret's
should appear.
Now, it happens that the time limit
for making changes in legally regis,
tered marriage certificates has ex,
pired. A clerical error, but really
quite annoying, you know!

Rest PerIods for EmpIoves.

Among the innovations being insti-
tuted at the new building of engrav-
ing and printing just finished in
Washington, is rest period of ten
minutes in the middle of the forenoon,
and in the afternoon. This rest is
proving a great relief to the girls for
instance who do nothing but count
money or perforate stamps and other
such monotonous work. During this
period the employees move around, can
close their eyes, or enjoy the beautiful
sun parlor on the roof. The govern
ment finds that so far from decreas-
ing the amount of the daily output is
this ten minutes of rest, that thanks
to the relaxation the return to work
is begun with much more vigor that
more work is actually accomplished
than without the rest

HOPE FOR THE BALD HEAD
Sewing Hairs on sealps 10 Proving
sueeessfuI-FIne Gold Wires
Are Used.

A method Of sewing hairs In the
human scalp in cases of partial or
total badness has been successfully
used in several instances by Doctor
Szekely, at the hospital Of Saint Ste
phane at Budapest, and a report ap-
pears in the London Times.
The number of hairs planted" in
the head Of a patient has been as
many as $4,000. One hundred hairs
are drawn through punctures In the
scalp to every square centimeter, and
as both ends are left free, the number
is thus 200, or over one thousand to
each square inch. Very fine gold
wires are used, one five-hundreths OF
an inch In diameter, and fine long
hairs from a woman's head are at
tached at the middle Of these. The
gold loop or knot acts as an anchor,
and after sterilization is introduced
into the subcutaneous tissue, where
It is slightly twisted, and holds the
hair permanently in position. It is
stated that 500 hairs can thus be In
troduced into the scalp within three
quarters Of an hour.
Doctor Szekely has designed q spe,
cial instrument for introducing and
fixing the gold wires. The latter are
so light and 80 fine that the total
amount Of gold In the scalp aftel
planting" $4,000 hairs is only one
gramme. The hair is stated to appear
perfectly natural, and a capsule OF
tissue appears to form around each
gold wire knot. The Inflammation re-
sulting from the treatment entirely
disappears in from ten to twelve days
and in no case, 30 far, has any In
tense Inflammation or suppuration re-
suited. The hair can be washed
brushed and treated with oil In the
ordinary way, and one Of the earliest
patients so treated, lady, has re
tained her hair intact with the orig
inal luster and flexibility, for over
seven years.

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis.-"My sister had a
very bad, deep. wet, running sore on
the side Of her face and it ran up to
her ear. It commenced with a small
blotch Of pimples which turned into
a kind Of rash and spread rapidly. It
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and II
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. It was a kind Of eczema.
"She treated for some time and Il
did not help her. 1t kept spreading

. Pier Pile His senuIcher7

A weird explanation of the disap-
pearance of a workman while the Gar
den pier at Atlantic City was in
course Of erection, more than year
ago, is given much credence. 1t was
believed that the workman fell into
the. surf and was drowned, but the
present rumor is to the effect that he
fell into caisson in which a monster
concrete piling was being nodded, and
is solidly imbedded in this piling.
Color is lent to this theory by the fact
that no trace of the workman's body
has been discovered, and other work
men expressed doubt at that time
that he fell into the ocean.
One of the workmen stated that an
automatic contrivance discharged a
ton or more of concrete into the cais-
son a moment after the workman fell,
as it was believed, into the surf. 1t
is his theory that the mans body was
deluged with the concrete, and that
the piling was completed as grave
for the man.

In one Of the southern states a

an express company of several thou
sand dollars. Instead of decamping
he remained in the city. He con-
fessed to the theft and said he had
lost the money playing poker. The
surety company sent man to prose-
cute the thief, He found the de-
faulter had been receiving a good sal
ary from the express company and
that there was no reason for his
taking the money. Further investiga.
tion revealed the fact that the county
attorney had sat in the poker game
and won most of the money; the
other players were friends of the
county attorney. The surety company
dropped the case at once and paid the
express company the amount Of the
