Going t>uck to tlie flowers. 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.

"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.
