Trees and Fires.

1t is doubtful whether any single
agency has caused more fires than
Christmas trees. These are covered
with inflammable ornaments and kept
until the branches are a. dry as tim
der. The practice of decorating with
candles and lighting these in order to
beautify the tree is the main source
of danger. There Is something so
pleasing and satisfactory about Christ
mas trees that no one feels like CIV
ing them up, or opposing their use,
but they are source Of loss and dan
ger. Something should be done to
eliminate the danger, even though it
should reduce the number of trees.
Until regulations from the outside in
terfere with the practice, it will be
well for every person who INDUCES in
the luxury to have garden hose
ready for immediate use III case the
tree catches fire. Those who have no
means for eXtinguishing a fire should
not have tree-From the Kansas

ASSIVaT CHRISTMAS eve comes in
AM mild and warm and Christ
8S NS mas morning follows its gem
EWS tie prophecy, the city florists
Tao9F will be happy. That will
mean that the thousands Of boxes Of
Christmas flowers which must be de-
liyered on Christmas forenoon can 60
out with only the ordinary packing.
But should there be freezing weather,
every flower must be packed In cotton,
which doubles the labor and the time
necessary. Even with the mild Christ
mas. which is the florists delight, the
force In the big retail flower stores
works all night the night before Christ
mas. From midnight until Z o'clock
in the morning all hands are busy
packing the boxes which in few
hours are to convey Christmas remem-
brances. At o'clock the delivery
wagons start. and before noon all the
fragile blooms have reached the fem
mine hands for which they were pur-
chased. Probably 20,00O such boxes
are delivered every Christmas MORN
ing in New York. One dealer in a
fashionable residence district has sent
out between 800 and 400 every Christ
mas morning for many years.
The "mixed box" ranges from $40
to $50 In price. It is a very modest
little box for the first price-just half
a dozen roses, dozen carnations, a
bit of christmas green" In the $50
box there will be probably half
dozen American Beauties, half
dozen long-stemmed liberty roses Of
the rich, velvety, deep crimson vari-
ETY.; some violets, some valley" some
mignonette to sweeten the whole box
perhaps some sweet peas and hya-
cinths, bit of beliOtrope and always
some holly and red satin ribbon to
tie the whole.
These expensive boxes are simply
pretty trifles, sent to the rich, by
those who are not sufficiently indebted
or on sufficiently intimate terms to
send more costly or substantial gifts.
The very evanescence of the flowers
makes them superlatively luxurious.
Fifty dollars for flowers that fade in
day makes the attention more deli
cate than four or five times that
amount put into some more durable
trifie.
Red is pre-eminently the Christmas
color, and red carnations and red roses
are the favOrite purchases. The red
immortelles, also, go in great punches
for Christmas decorations in houses
of both high and low degree. These
immOrtelles are real flowers, though
some people have notion they are
made of paper. The natural color is
yellow, and they grow in the south of
France, where great fields of them may
be seen dried and dyed for the mar
ket. 1t is a great industry there. Eu-
ropeans use them largely to the exclu-
sion Of fresh flowers for all occasions
They are dyed in all colors for the Eu-
rOpean market and thousands upon
imported to New York every year for
the Christmas trade. They cannot be
successfully grown in America, owing
to climatic differences. A few-have
been produced in Texas, but the for
lists say they are not ''right."
