Put them in the bathroom, shut the windows and doors to exclude every particle of air. Then fill the bathtub with scalding water and allow the plants to steam for three or four hours. The room should be gradually cooled before the plants are removed to a cooler atmosphere.

Almost all the big transportation companies in the United States maintain what they call scrap departments. At two or three points on the road, generally where there are any construction or extensive repair shops, this scrap Is gathered from all parts of tbe system.

He has for a good many years been paying premiums on several thousand dollars more insurance than he feels like he is able to do. and for that reason he considers the spring insurance solicitor as one of the worst ills of the season. Ingenuity has always been the one marked characteristic of Bllvins, and after the first one of the agents tackled him the other day and began telling him bow soon he was to die and in what an awful state he would leave hls family and creditors, Blivlns hit upon a new scheme. The next morning Blivlns took to hls offlcs all the old photographs he could find. On each one he tied a little crepe rosette and then hung them on the wall, stood them on hls desk and put them at every point in the office where they could be seen.
