I might as well make a floral letter out of the column this week. 1 want to tell you what a pretty white-capped young girl, dressed in the becoming costume of a nurse, did to keep a beautiful bunch of pinks, maidenhair, ferns and asparagus plants the other day In one of our hos pitals. The moment they were handed in she removed the card ami ribbon and burned the ends of the stems. 11 worked like a.charm, for they remained fresh and fragrant for over a week. 1 have seen the ends of the llowers dipped in sealing wax when they wanted to send them any distance, but burning the ends was a new departure ami a very successful one.

When Johann Strauss took bls or chestra to Russia, be had some unusu al experiences not generally vouchsaf ed to those who live outside an auto cratic government. One day he received the czarina's commands to play before her at her summer resort and was told, on arriv ing there, that he would have to re hearse his programme three times be fore the performance. He begged to know the reason for that, but no ex planation was given him. These were her majesty's orders, and he could only comply. Still, his astonishment grew when he saw during the three rehear sals an empty court carriage drawn by a pair of horses slowly going back and forth In front of his orchestra. Throughout the final performance tile mysterious act was explained. The empress, having a sharp attack of gout, was obliged to recline In the carriage, her foot on a cushion, while the con cert took place, and the object of re hearsal Imd been to accustom the horses t<> a full string band lest they should take fright and bolt with her. At the end of the performance an ex alted dignitary of the court bade Strauss follow him to a splendid grand piano, saying: “Now be good enough to play me all the newest Vienna music.” Although he was pretty fatigued by his three rehearsals and state perform ance. Strauss thought it expedient to comply, but after he had played con tinuously for over an hour he stopped, saying, “I presume that will be suffi cient?" "I am not at all tired,” coolly rejoin ed his excellency. “But 1 am!” said Strauss and rose from the Instrument. — Youth's Com- panion. A HEARTY LAUGH. The Wouderful F.lfect« I Ha« t'pon the Haman Syalent. • "Laugh and grow fat” is a saying as Old as the hills. It has long been an accepted fact that humor Is a promoter of digestion and merry words the dead liest foes of disease. Dr. J. E. Kenne dy. editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin, writes au Interesting article on the val ue of laughter, In which he shows It is not only a remedial agent, but Is also a valuable preventive against a host of diseases. The physical effects of laugh ter are thus put down by Dr. Kennedy : Laughter Increases the blood circula tion. It enlarges the lieart. It expands the lungs. It jiggers the diaphragm. It promotes the dloculation of the spleen. In other words, laughter stirs up the vital regions of the body, gives them healthful exercise and produces fl men tal exhilaration which acts upon the system much as a brisk walk in a crisp atmosphere does upon the appetite. As strong allies to laughter Dr. Kennedy gives the following directions for men tal peace of mind: Beware of theologians who have no sense of mirth. They are not altogeth er human. Keep your chin up. Don't take your troubles to bed with you. Hang them on a chair with your trousers or drop them In a glass of wa- ter with your teeth. Dr. Kennedy has surely hit the nail on the head. If his prescription and advice are followed, bls own bills will be decidedly cut down. — Burlington Hawkeye. CHOICE MISCELLANY The Peaehblow Vann. The rarest and most expensive of all Chinese porcelain Is the famous “peaehblow," which was made for a very short time only in 1061-1722, In the reign of Kuang III. The secret was the exclusive possession of a sin gle family, and It died out with them. A singular thing is that the ware oc curs only In live different forms, almost Identical In shade and dimensions. Of the fifth form only a single example is known to exist, and this is the fa mous "peachblow vase,” whose history Is as follows: About twenty years ago an American bought it in China for $20. Not long afterward It was sold by a New York dealer to Mrs. Mary J. Morgan, who Is said to have paid $15,000 for It. A few years later, in 1880, at the sale of the deceased Mrs. Morgan's art collection. It was repurchased bv the same dealer for $18.000. The story was current i the time that the dealer, expectil get the vase ready sold It “short” t he lost $10,001 Is now In tlie Walters of Chinese po feet a wo Venus of Suuie Saperstltlou» Thut Still Eslat Recently 1 told you about a window t lion the Subject—Moon Theories I garden that was a constant source of Rats are very susceptible to t Thut Are Mere Survival» From a joy to Polly.
