Td Preserve Flowers.
To preterve delicate flowers, says the
New York Tribune, take very fine sand,
wash it perfectly clean, and when dry
sift it through a fine sieve into a: pan.
When the pao is deep enough to hold the
flowers in an upright position, takeeome
more sifted sand and carefully cover
them. 4 spoon is a good thing to take
for this, ee it fills in every chink and
cranny without breaking or bending the
Leaves. When the pan is filled solidlte
lettee the flowers to dry for seve al days.
It is a .glied plan to warm the aaid in the

way will keep theiribeauty and brilliancy
of color all winter, and many i other
flowers can be equally successfully
treated -anything, in fact, where the
full pressure of the sand comes on both
sides of the leaf, otherwise they will
shrivel. Ferns when preserved in this
way have a more natural look than
when pressed, and the maidenhair fern
looks almest as when it is freshly gath-

Under the Microscope.

the relevation of the microscope. Any

Express, in its weekly review of the
British grain trade, says: "English
wheats are 4d lower on the average
London price. The country markets
are firmer. Foreign wipeats are firmer
for all sorts. At Mverpool foreign
wheats are ld per cental higher. Less-
ening shipments of American Indian,
and Russian has caused a tendency in
favour of sellers. Oats are 3:1 lower.
Corn is steady. .At Liverpool the quo-
tations are ld per `•cental dearer. The
prices of barley are in sellers' favour.
Beans, peas, and rye are a shade dearer,
